Day 7 & 8: POB for Ecency: Research

image.png

You get to feel the meaning of frustration sometimes when building a puzzle with a missing piece. It is something of a not so well kept secret that the Hive-Engine and Tribal Dex sites do not have APIs on them. Scot Bot has a bunch of documentation over at GitHub. I have full account values including the POB liquid token and POB liquid state. Looking at a certain user m------s his account value on ecency is reported as nearly $3,000 but in the new client it is reported as almost $9,000.

Ecency shows $13 for v-------o.pob but the new client which includes the POB amount shows $5,000. Now, it's easy for me to get a bit excited here. Looking at mine, my account value is over $30,000. Now, suppose we could push the price of Proof of Brain to $5 rather than 80¢....

Right now, the prices are a hard coded constant. I am going to use these constants to estimate vote value.

I want to see if we can get the token up to $5/, and with a better UI, this will be a good start. We should also try to get a way to have wrapped POB on other chains.

Do you guys think we should hide this information from view in the UI so that only those logging in should see it? (A programmer could still find this out with the right patience and tools) Should we leave the Hive value part in the Hive section and only show the POB portion of the value in the Proof of Brain section?
