Inflation plot.md

You can find script for inflation at programs/util

To run this script, enter:

 ./inflation_model > model.json

It will generate file model.json for you, which contains 10-year supply data. You can plot this data with following command:

python3 inflation_plot.py model.json

NOTE #1 You should have already installed matplotlib for python3.

brew install homebrew/python/numpy --with-python3

brew install homebrew/python/matplotlib --with-python3

Also check stackoverflow

NOTE #2 If you would like to look into model.json use SublimeText editor.

Explanation of output

{"rvec":["929159090641","8360617424769","929159090641","8360617424769","197985103985","1780051544865","195077031513","1755693283617","179687790278","1615357001502"],"b":68585000,"s":"24303404786580"}

rvec shows total number of STEEM satoshis created since genesis for:

• Curation rewards
• Vesting rewards balancing curation rewards
• Content rewards
• Vesting rewards balancing content rewards
• Producer rewards
• Vesting rewards balancing producer rewards
• Liquidity rewards
• Vesting rewards balancing liquidity rewards
• PoW rewards
• Vesting rewards balancing PoW rewards

b is block number

s is total supply

Some possible sources of inaccuracy, the direction and estimated relative sizes of these effects:

• Missed blocks not modeled (lowers STEEM supply, small)
• Miner queue length very approximately modeled (assumed to go to 100 during the first blocks and then stay there) (may lower or raise STEEM supply, very small)
• Creation / destruction of STEEM used to back SBD not modeled (moves STEEM supply in direction opposite to changes in dollar value of 1 STEEM, large)
• Interest paid to SBD not modeled (raises STEEM supply, medium)
• Lost / forgotten private keys / wallets and deliberate burning of STEEM not modeled (lowers STEEM supply, unknown but likely small)
• Possible bugs or mismatches with implementation (unknown)
