I probably should have done this sooner, but today I thought I would make a post so that we can later look to see how things have changed.
Look at this, our first whale not maximizing his rake.
Didn't see this coming.
So, not as bad as I expected, but certainly we can see who needs their money now!
I hope to make another of these at some point in the future.
IF you were wondering where the other half of those curation rewards goes to here are the top 32:
IF you want these numbers to stay available, please vote marky's proposal.
He is not the most favorite guy, but he does much more for the chain than most of the names you'll see in this post.
At far less cost.

Are you are tired of paying your masters to bomb children in far away places?
Perhaps it is time you pushed back on that.
A simple way that anybody can do that is to hoard your coins.
The fed buys coins at face value from the mint.
A dollar of change in your pocket is a dollar of value out of the banksters' pockets.
Stop playing in their shell game that allows them to play in the amusement parks from hell and shop in the human grocery stores.

We won't agree on everything but also these points below are not disagreements just more thoughts based on what you wrote.
• Usually it is better to view investments in terms of percentages. (a whale selling 1% stake is only 1% to them). Even if the amount they sell is some "outrages" $ number to other people, their % return is dependent on how much they own.
For example, if someone manages a fund of billion dollars and the fund makes 100k a year, that is a terrible return or 0.01%, even if $100k is a lot of money in terms of $s.
• People should not have to agree with Marky on everything to acknowledge HIVE Analytics is badass
I'd like it more if we could design our own queries. I don't like the fact that all the queries are 'canned', designed by Marky himself.
Personally I don't mind the queries the way they are and I actually got more excited it was something Marky did because he is very technical.
Having that functionality to design our own queries would be a nice feature though. It is an interesting idea!
See below. Apparently I am wrong. I do recall reading the queries were all created by Marky, but my memory has failed me before, so I'd believe Marky rather than me, and I do.
That's the neat thing, you can design your own queries. What's stopping you?
I did try to do so when I took a look at the app, but couldn't find a way to change the username on whatever it was I was trying to do. Later I thought I understood you would consider enabling folks to run their own queries, but felt it wasn't appropriate at that time. You were discussing queries you used specifically regarding abuse.
Anyway, apparently I misunderstood you, and I'm incompetent at query fu. Who'd a thunk it?
I appreciate you providing that information here and setting me straight.
You don't need to use Hive Analytics to run your own queries, you have the power to run any query you like. Hive Analytics was just a means to provide transparency for everyone.
Now I'm confused.
Anywho, this is the language that gave me the impression the Hive Analytics tool didn't support bespoke queries.
Now I think I was right about that, and you tricked me into thinking I was wrong. I have to change my mind again. I'm going to need a mental cabana if this keeps up.
As it is, there is only the on reports created by me. There was going to be more freedom as I added more reports with different "views" and charting options, but it was always going to be reports created by me, but I did ask for suggestions (which I didn't receive many). There was over 100 more reports coming.
My comment was referring to you being able to make any report you like, you don't need me or Hive Analytics. It's a public blockchain, it's all out there available to you.
I tried, I pleaded with him to use GAAP. For his proposal he could literally use double entry bookkeeping for 5 minutes a month to fully account for all income and expenses, but he declined to commit to doing so. Until DHF proposals commit to GAAP I cannot vote for them in good conscience, because there are credible allegations of theft by fraud publicly made on chain against Valueplan, and when I confronted Valueplan principals about providing receipts that would prove no fraud occurred they flatly refused, and further said they would never provide receipts.
YTF are they getting our money, then?
I pointed this out, linked it all on the Valueplan proposal post, and committed myself to never voting for a DHF proposal that would not use GAAP to account for it's disbursements of DHF funds. I am not wrong to do so. Every God damned 7-11 in the world can use double entry bookkeeping to account to it's owners how the money is being spent, and it's utterly amateurish that Hive doesn't require it's funded proposals to do so too.
Marky will just have to do without my vote if he isn't on board with the most rudimentary accounting requirements.
I will say it here again: Every one should only vote for the Return Proposal until and unless DHF proposals commit to using GAAP, simple double entry bookkeeping, to account for their expenditures of DHF - the Hive communities - money.
Thanks!
lol back on about this?
I updated the proposal to include it when you asked, I just said it didn't make a lot of sense as there was no expenses outside of nominal hosting (until future improvements would have required much more complicated backends).
There is nothing to really talk about, it's 99% dev time, there is no accounting to break out. Either way, it isn't being re-approved so it's a non-issue. It's got 4 days left then it's over.
I know that the accounting is ridiculously simple, almost only dev time. That's why I asked for a commitment to use the formal double entry bookkeeping format, as once you set up the spreadsheet it would be almost no effort at all to update it monthly - but, you would be the first proposal to commit to and use GAAP, demonstrating to all other recipients of DHF funds that you were supporting that standard, which would provide incentive to them to do so too.
I'm not 'back' on the topic. I stick to my guns until I'm dead, or I'm proved wrong and have to change my mind to become right. I committed to only voting for the Return Proposal until proposals committed to using GAAP. That's why I even bothered you about it. I wanted to support your proposal, but couldn't without breaking my word, or you using GAAP.
While you have stated forthrightly what the funds would be used for, and it's almost inconceivable that would change, that isn't the same as providing the income and expense specifically and periodically. That is actual double entry bookkeeping, GAAP, and my commitment. Particularly your proposal has such a vanishingly infinitesimal potential for fraud - because most of the funds were for dev time to begin with, and even if all of the funds went to that it would still be a good spend - that if there was ever a proposal that I would relax my insistence on GAAP for, that would be yours.
But I won't relax my commitment, and my measly vote wouldn't change the outcome of your proposal. I just wanted you to set a standard for other proposals that would cost you very little, because other proposals need to be held to account because they are being credibly accused of theft by fraud. I want to reduce the threat of fraud, and requiring GAAP for DHF fund recipients is like a least minimum anti-abuse measure. You're almost certainly sick of me blathering on about this, so I'll shut up and leave you be.
People need a magnifying glass to read those charts.
Click on the pic in peakd, they have a 200% zoom.
I did click on the pic, not sure it was peak'd, never could manage to sign up for peak'd. It came up a bit better but not enough to read it without a whole lot of straining.
You don't have to sign up, you can just sign in with keychain.
I had to shrink the zoom on the page to get it all in one screencap.
I don't have Hive keychain anymore, when I did, it didn't work. Even before keychain, I couldn't sign in.
Hmm, have you tried using peakd's sign in with your posting/active key?
It is 99.99% likely rancho no longer has his keys, so you can consider all curation rewards he earns will be locked up forever. It's a shame his delegation to Haejin doesn't get killed though.
What do you think about making flags hit either curation or author rewards, or both?
Not 100% on either, but zero on one or the other or neither.
This would allow zeroing those folks like the one you mention, without creating the drama with the authors.
Downvotes already affect both.
I don't see downvotes for curators specifically ever happening.
I know it would never pass now, I'm just asking about the design idea.
I am not a fan. Would be used maliciously far more than downvotes are.
You angeling to become Bernie Sanders the second?
No, bernie is a grifter.
Oh, wait, you meant that other one, no, he was one of a kind.
I just don't like folks draining us.
It's hard for me to swallow Ranchorelaxo having a lower KE than me, because I have never once sold a token.
KE isn't a measure of how much you sold, it is simply how much you have staked compared to how much you have earned.
Only staked Hive, not HBD.
Complaining about whales taking so much, is easily fixed. Just buy more.
We keep offering deeper and deeper discounts to becoming a whale. No one wants to do it though, they just want to sell as quickly as they get it.
That is what I keep telling them, buy more hive if you want to see hive spread out.
Show them how it is done.
I got the big bee, today!
Go bigger.
I got my orders in, but 'somebody' keeps not letting the price go low enough.
.10 cent level was the last cycles solid support on multiple massive moves down from more than double or triple higher in late 2020 & early 2021. Once .10 breaks for more than a few minutes and below .0985 we will see a huge move lower. Just a matter of time! I’m betting .05 is certain next 12 months or so. But def .07 coming!
Just wait longer, don't think you will have a problem.
