Most time I was being nice. Xeldal who provided some real liquidity has ever got rewarded once or two, some of his volume were fed by me though. About others, I'm not sure whether they really provided enough liquidity. If yes, they should show up on the list: https://steemd.com/tools, I'm happy if they can be rewarded. However, some other self traders have set a barrier on the list, so I set my barrier higher than that.
On the list,
- adm is the active barrier keeper
- alittle is my account which has been providing real liquidity, but most volume are done by others' self trading (as a side effect). I don't know it profitted or not, too lazy to calculate
- james-show is a self-trader
- smooth-a is a self trader
- xeldal is a half-self-trader, he's providing real liquidity but did trade with himself when got chance
- others are likely real liquidity providers so far, or perhaps haven't got chance to do self trading
Out of the list, the big players
- complexring/thursday/saturday/sunday, has been rewarded by self-trading several times, and got around 30K STEEM by gaming my bot
- smooth got around 5K STEEM by gaming my bot
- creator has been rewarded once for whatever reason
The small players
- when my bot is self trading, place an order in front of it (kind of providing liquidity), they've been earning from the spread.
