In this context, a DERP Group is a collection of accounts on the Steem blockchain that operates in an anomalous fashion.

All anomalous groups requiring special containment procedures are assigned a Group Class. A Group Class is a part of the standard DERP template and serves as a rough indicator for how difficult a group is to contain. Group Classes are for the purposes of identifying containment needs, research priority, budgeting, and other considerations. A DERP's Group Class is determined by a number of factors, but the most important factors are the difficulty and the purpose of its containment.

Group Classes:

  • Safe - groups that are easily and safely contained
  • Euclid - groups that require more resources to contain completely or where containment isn't always reliable
  • Keter - groups that are exceedingly difficult to contain consistently or reliably, with containment procedures often being extensive and complex
  • Thaumiel - groups used to contain other groups
  • Neutralized - groups that are no longer anomalous, either through having been intentionally or accidentally destroyed, disabled, or disbanded

Group Series:

A group series roughly corresponds to bull market formations where general interest in the platform peaks (also known as The Woodwork).

001-999: Series I forming from March, 2016 to April, 2017
1000-1999: Series II forming from May, 2017 to January, 2019
2000-2999: Series III forming from February, 2019 to present

Typical format for DERP-nnnn reports are as follows:

group: DERP-nnnn
class: Safe Euclid Keter Thaumiel Neutralized
derp_score:
special_containment_procedures:
description:
associated_accounts:
  - 
related_links:
  -

With ...

  • ... group: DERP-nnnn being in the correct series.
  • ... class: selection being one of the specified Group Class types.
  • ... derp_score: being the Daily Estimated Reward Pool impact
  • ... special_containment_procedures: being the current opposition or compensating controls required to contain the group, if any
  • ... description: exploring "who" and "what" this group is
  • ... associated_accounts: key accounts related to the group
  • ... related_links: (optional) specific URLs to justify the DERP

Recommended format: YAML
Recommended maximum columns: 60 characters

Rules

These are the rules on the community main page, but with more detail.

  1. This is a place to collect facts. Sometimes bits of information is all over the blockchain. Bring it all together into one report.
  2. This is not a place to originate doxing. There's no need to start doxing someone in a report, especially if it's not on-chain yet.
  3. Do not repeat dox material found on-chain (leave it there for Level-03 and up to find). Allude to it if needed, but don't repeat it. This makes for a more mysterious report anyway.
  4. This is a place to re-contextualize what is on-chain. Sometimes people only have half the narrative in their heads. A complete report that starts from the beginning and reaches a conclusion can fill in the gaps.

    DERP score is how much impact a particular group has on the reward pool. It's up to the author of the report to assign, but a good guideline is to look at their daily rewards. If the group has little exposure, then it might make sense to 10x the number to estimate what impact they might have if they used all of their voting power on themselves.

    DERP score is just one aspect to all this. A group could have a very low DERP score and still require a lot of resources for containment.

    The reports are used for research on containment of problematic behavior, but also for entertainment. They're a little bit like horror stories mixed with cautionary tales.

      The main thing is to assess across multiple months of related activity all in one report. I'm hoping it helps to assess actual anomalies so we can prioritize possible changes, if necessary.

      At the same time, I'm hoping it will help to avoid blowing things out of proportion. If an anomaly is able to be contained by our existing tools, that's a good thing too.
