This is a awesome article. I did not know where to get the factor to convert vests to steem power. This would have been extremely useful in a report that I prepared on delegating steem.
I also did not know that an account with no activity in 7 days is classed as a dead fish
The "dead fish" classification is a fairly arbitrary choice of the steemitboard site. From the perspective of the "raw blockchain" all accounts are equally good, of course, and in practice not every account that has been inactive for 7 days should be really considered "dead".
@dantheman, for example, is a pretty active account here in general with nearly 7K followers. However, as it has not posted for a couple of months it is currently classed as a "dead fish" by steemitboard.
Dead fish is a classification I added to SteemitBoard, just for fun and to incentivize users to stay active.
good idea @arcange, retention is rather low so this is a good incentive
