Welcome and I came back
Welcome to alfuady witness report
Like all other witnesses, it will publish publish a regular report on its activity and how it helped the Steemit platform and its users to grow.
For those who don’t know why SteemitBoard is a witness, I highly recommend to read the introduction post. This one is full of information.
Work done
two new personal badges have been created
Saint Nicholas’ Day award. This award has been given to the 53 participant who have been good girls/boys along the year. Saint Nicholas brought them a dedicated on top of the badge they can now display on their board.
Christmas 2018 commemorative award. This award has been been distributed to 112 friends by Steemit users. This was the first award that you could not win for yourself but had to give to someone else.
Notifications
Since May 2017, SteemitBoard sends notifications to inform users of their progress on Steemit.
Up to now, alfuady has sent 544540 notifications, with the number of notifications sent everyday which is now steady around 3000 notifications per day. Indeed, the notification process has been updated in order to manage the impressive growth in the number of active users encountered last times. The notifications are grouped together and this avoids receiving several notifications from @alfuady on the same post, especially for newcomers.
Here a small chart to display this evolution
If SteemitBoard is able to send so many notifications per day, this is thanks to your support. Each time you vote on the notification, you increase SteemitBoard’s power and bandwidth, allowing it to notify users of their achievements more quickly.
Here an evolution of the support received on notifications
Notifications are really appreciated and users have sent a lot of positive feedback.
Thanks for all those who keep upvoting the notifications they receive.
Support from SteemitBoard to other users
Remember @alfuady upvotes user’s post each time it send a notification.
At the very beginning, the upvote strength was 10% for every notification. But as there was more and more notifications sent, its voting power was depleting very quickly. Moreover, the change to linear reward deplete very quickly voting power.
Here are the current voting rules used by @alfuady:
And here's a chart with the number of votes made every day. You will notice that SteemitBoard has upvoted up to 802 posts per day and is now on a lower average of approximately 438 posts upvoted per day.
Actually, @alfuady is not powerful enough to have a big effect on payout of the posts. Anyway, its upvotes already help to raise the active user’s reputation.
SteemitBoard is grateful when you support it
