[suggestion] real total payout or beneficiary payout field in a post
In the Steem blockchain, currently, payout related fields are
-
total_payout_value
: author payout (really terrible name, which leads to a bug like https://github.com/steemit/condenser/issues/3450. Everybody may think this is author + curator payout, but this is author only, too late to change though.) -
curator_payout_value
: curator payout
This is normally fine, but there is no easy way to know the real total payout amount when there are beneficiaries. For instance, when beneficiary is set to 100%, `total_payout_value` (author payout again!) is set to zero! This itself is fine, but then to know the **"real total"** payout, one may need to query benefactor reward which will be very inefficient.
There are several use cases of high percentage of beneficiaries e.g., fund SPS instead of declining the reward: https://github.com/steemit/condenser/issues/3447 Many dapps are using beneficiaries and there are many possibility with beneficiaries.
In such case, it'd be great if UI can shows the real total payout value first and the details are shown with mouseover or click.
Mockups / Examples
There should be additional fields in a post
- either
real_total_payout_value
: author+curator+beneficiaries payout - or
beneficiaries_payout_value
: beneficiaries payout (total would be enough, since there isbeneficiaries
field anyway, so breakdown can be calculated from these two infomation.)
Before
After
If the above information is provided by the Steem blockchain, UI can easily show the real total payout for paid out posts too. This is much better in terms of consistency and UX.
Benefits
- Efficient real total payout information query
- Consistent payout info
- Better UX for high beneficiary settings
- More possibility for dapps to use beneficiary
