RE: Developing the new Utopian bot

in #utopian-io • 6 years ago

I have a question:

If the allocated VP is exhausted for a category and some posts go unvoted, will they remain in the queue to possibly get an upvote another day or will they be removed?

In other words, is there a chance that before payout a not-that-great post, will get voted simply because there was some leftover VP?

Keep it up, that's some awesome work you've done there 😁

    Yes, basically every round it will upvote the highest scored contributions until the required voting power to upvote the highest scored remaining contribution will deplete the category's share (< 0%). For example (using made up numbers):

    Category X has share of 1%

    1. Calculate usage of upvoting contribution A -> uses 0.3% -> category's remaining share = 0.7%
    2. Calculate usage of upvoting contribution B -> uses 0.29% -> category's remaining share = 0.41%
    3. Calculate usage of upvoting contribution C -> uses 0.25% -> category's remaining share = 0.16%
    4. Calculate usage of upvoting contribution D -> uses 0.17% -> category's remaining share < 0% so don't upvote contribution D and stop upvoting contributions in category X

    So this means that category X will have 0.16% left in its share which won't be used, and in the next voting round it will start with contribution D (unless contributions with a higher score are reviewed in the meantime). I hope this contrived example clears things up for you, haha.

    Haha it actually made a lot of sense (you wrote it in a developer's way so it helped a lot xD )

    Thank you :)
