RE: [Analysis] Whale Delegation And the Infinity of Bots: A Love/Hate Story

in #utopian-io8 years ago

Just giving myself a pat on the back for reaching the end of this one :)

fulltimegeek's main delegation was out to another account of his, and then back in.

starjuno seem's to be haejin's bulldog.

As for everything else, yeah, just stuff happening.

Your choice of 'bot' accounts made me chuckle a few times, and of course the writing style.

See, no questions :)

Sort:  

I figured it would be far less sanity destroying if I left out all of the code this time, protecting human minds from the sheer alien horror of all that Python.

I'm pretty sure that was the right decision.

I don't think all of everything else was just stuff happening, but I'm not sure we know enough about what "normal" looks like or should look like to be able to tell what it looks like. In particular, this year has put some unique stresses on people's decision-making when it comes to operations of the blockchain. The rapid descent into value is guaranteed to push anyone with a stake into different behaviors, and not necessarily in ways that we can predict.

I still don't know what's up with @sniffnscurry, and that is probably the most interesting, most aberrant bit of behavior in the last three months.

In a real sense, my "bot" account list is really a list of "accounts which have sufficiently screwed up behaviors that having them in any sort of statistical sample destroys your ability to see interesting things going on."

Of course, since it stands alone as a list unto itself, there is no reason that we couldn't run specific reports focusing entirely on the behavior of those accounts, which could be interesting.

It's just hard to tell.
