Misleading categorization

The graph claims that a block’s net_issuance is equal to its total_rewards - total_burned, but it should reflect a different metric (and potentially 3 categories):

coinbase (actually issued currency)
rewards (money paid as tip, not actually issued)
burned (amount of base_fee burned)

net_issuance = coinbase - burned

In my screenshot above, we see:

rewards = 3.8125
burned = 0.2562
net_issuance = (rewards - burned) = 3.5563

I’m suggesting it should be:

coinbase = 2
tip = 1.8125
burned = 0.2562
net_issuance = (coinbase - burned) = (2 - 0.2562) = 1.7438
(and, if you want) total_rewards = (coinbase + tip) = 3.8125

@notlesh just checked the stats on the left, Burned or Issuance doesn’t include Tips, same calculation as the blocks cause it just sums all the blocks.

If you refresh watchtheburn, the chart should show Tips info when you hover on the issuance chart 😃 Thanks for the feedback!

Hey @notlesh I can place the tip inside, I was thinking the same thing these couple of days 😊

Regarding your question, that is not the tip, Rewards include coinbase reward + uncle reward. The issuance does not include the tips. Tips are calculated by going through all the transactions as well.

The logic is calculated here: https://github.com/mohamedmansour/ethereum-burn-stats/blob/main/daemon/hub/stats.go#L722

snip:

blockReward := s.getBaseReward(blockNumber)

for n, uncleHash := range block.Uncles {
	blockReward.Add(&blockReward, &uncleMinerReward)
	blockReward.Add(&blockReward, &uncleInclusionReward)
}
