Steemfest 2 attendee @anomadsoul has been granted one quarter of a million Steem Power from @blocktrades and has asked me for a transparent analysis of his interactions over the past month.
During this time he has hosted a bunch of contents and provided some nice prizes as well as plenty of up-votes along the way. Well, so he tells me anyway! :)
Has he been sharing the love?
Have the contestants been supportive of him and @blocktrades, the main sponsor?
Lets find out!
@anomadsoul - Monthly statistics
The following info-graphic is shows @anomadsoul's stats over the past month - from the start of his delegation until present today (5th January 2018)
@anomadsoul - Analysis
Plenty of votes - over 100 a day and over 1500 different accounts reached in a month.
Just over 1 Self-vote per top level post is not bad at all. Sometimes its better to lift a comment above the spam, especially on an introduce yourself post from a new Steemian.
Average reputation voted on is very low at 53.4%, which I see as excellent for growth and retention (and is 4% lower than utopian-io who are supporting a lot of new contributors themselves) Good effort man!
7.5% as an average vote weight is pretty sweet, approximately $10, nice!
Overall, a job well done!
#my2017 - Analysis
This has been contests month for @anomadsoul as he has made a considerable effort to increase community engagement by offering these chances to win prizes and up-votes.
The tag used to promote and add visibility to the posts entering the contests was #my2017.
In the last 30 days, 680 top level posts were produced containing this tag!
And of these 680 posts, 426 of them were from unique authors. That is some turnout!
@anomadsoul voted for 407 top level posts containing #my2017 - very close the total of unique authors.
Well done to all the accounts who received votes and prizes during the past month!
Of course, the prizes have only been possible due to the delegation received by @blocktrades and so as suggested during the contest posts, supporting @blocktrades as a Witness is a good chance to show your appreciation.

So, how many of the contestants decided to support @blocktrades as a witness during the past month?
Of the 426 unique authors and contestants, 59 of those were already supporting @blocktrades. Following the contests, there are another 51 accounts now voting for the witness - 110 in total.
This is approximately 25% of all contest entrants - not bad at all!
It is fair then to suggest that the contests have provided good visibility to @blocktrades Witness status.
To try to evaluate this further, I've taken a look at the dates of @anomadsoul's #my2017 contest posts and marked most them onto a chart showing the daily count of accounts that have added @blocktrades as a Witness.
As you can see, it does look like the #my2017 post dates correlate well with a rise in Witness votes for @blocktrades.
Good stuff!
Summary
As far as i can see, this delegation arrangement is going well for everyone - especially the followers of @anomadsoul!
@anomadsoul has been able to provide some good sized votes to over 1500 accounts during this awesome time for Steemit and STEEM (and SBD!).
@blocktrades, with the help of the #my2017 it seems, has continued gaining witness votes at a good pace.
On a personal note, I'd like to thank @anomadsoul for giving me the chance to think about 'my 2017' and imprint some nice memories onto the Steem Blockchain in 2017.
Cheers!
Same again this year then?!
