steemdata-reward-history/historical/mvest_history.csv and steemdata-reward-history/historical/mvest_history.js show steem/mvest as fluctuating. This is NOT correct. It should increase monotonically.

I suspect the last two thirds might be not particularly useful for you, but the opening bit definitely is.
