I wrote in my last post that I bought votes for my last post. I was asking me then: What is the real value of my post?
For answering this question, the pending post-payout and the wallet history must be known. I wrote a small python script, that analyzes the transfer history and is able to calculate the resulting value.
In order to run the script, steem python must be installed. I wrote a small tutorial how to install steem on a windows pc.
The script can also be downloaded from Gist.
In the script, the author variable author = "holger80" and the postURL postURL = "https://steemit.com/steemdev/@holger80/how-to-estimate-historic-steempermvests-values-for-converting-old-rewards-from-vest-to-steem"must be adapted. author_curate_rewardcan set to a value higher than zero, when the author did a self-upvote. The value can be extracted from steemd.com, as explained here.
Script output
Bought vote with 0.400000 SBD from qustodian

Results for https://steemit.com/steemdev/@holger80/how-to-estimate-historic-steempermvests-values-for-converting-old-rewards-from-vest-to-steem
Estimated payout: 7.963875 SBD and 1.622301 SP
9.086000 SBD used for buying votes, the estimated real post value in SBD (including SP) is 0.803388
So I can see that I used 9.08 SBD to buy votes and that the real estimated payout value is only 0.8 SBD.
I converted the Steem Power author reward to SBD.
Let me know if you tried my script and if it's worked or not.

I will try your code next week.
I only tried voting bots once for one of my posts and I think I had net loss, not surprisingly.
But it was just my guess, estimate. With your code I hope I should get better, more detailed answer.
Thanks & great project idea!
Very neat! Even accounting due steem per vest. Will give this as spin.
Note that www.steemworld.com has this information together for recent posts, may want to compare how the numbers pan out. Cheers!
Thanks, I will check steemworld.com.
Ooh, steemworld.com is down at the moment.
Running scripts is not somehting I am up with doing, but my posts are simply to estimate as I dont use bots
I gained not much by using them.
Some use them a lot as they feel it increases their visibility I dont know how much of a fact that is as I have never really looked into it
complicated ??
The following steps are neccessary:
