RE: Curious what price of STEEM we need for SBDs to start printing again? Be curious no longer!
I watched it pretty closely the last time it went above and below the thresholds, and it lined up pretty well with the numbers from that script.
Were you watching the 3.5 day average price of STEEM because that's the price it uses for print rates, correct?
From here, I think it uses the median price from the feed history, so that's what I was watching (and what is displayed as "Price" in the sample output I posted above).
Curiously, it seems like the block explorers and the get_current_median_history_price API call stop tracking the actual median once it drops below the 10% threshold, so I think that the reported median from Steem World might actually be the threshold where SBDs will start printing again.
According to my calculations the current median is actually, $0.234, and the 10% threshold is 0.252057 (which rounds to 0.25206), so I don't completely know how to explain the value that Steem World is reporting for the median price - even though it matches what the API call says. Maybe @steemchiller can clarify.
