RE: Steem Data Services (SDS) / Update Notice / Version 0.1.7b
Hi @steemchiller,
I was curious if you know of a way to get the historic vesting fund in order to convert historic curation rewards in vests to dollars. I've realized that using your api call I can get historic curation rewards much faster than with the function I made a few months ago. Thanks for making it!
Sincerely,
@cmp2020
Update:
I've been trying to solve this problem all day, and figured out how to get the conversion rate using the virtual op "fill_vesting_withdraw" at your api call for a range of virtual ops (calculating the block to start at based on the date). But this method is extremely slow (took about 50 seconds just to get the rate). I was curious about how you and steemit convert curation rewards in vests to steem power.
Hi @cmp2020, there is still no good solution for retrieving the historic values available. As I was asked this question a few times already, I'm planning to provide a new method that can offer a better/faster way in the near future.
The conversion from VESTS to SP just uses the current values from the blockchain. As we receive rewards in VESTS, whose worth increases over time, we acually earned more in terms of SP than what was shown in the past. Hard to say, if it would be more correct to always use daily conversion rates.
