Title: [ANN] Havelock Stats Website
Post by: Flink on September 15, 2014, 09:55:29 PM
I’ve just launched a small service called Havelock Stats (http://www.havelockstats.com (http://www.havelockstats.com)). It’s free and requires no account at all.

Its main purpose is to display some informations not available as graphs (or stats, etc.) directly from Havelock.
I developped this site because I wanted to have nice charts of the dividends history instead of just looking at numbers.
So currently it only displays dividends but I’m open to suggestions/ideas for other interesting charts or stats. The site will be enhanced but I don’t know at what pace ;)

Also feel free to donate if you want to :)

UPDATE 23/09/2014: added trades history. This will allow to implement some of the ideas suggested in the comments :)

I don't see anyhow to add anything or see anything on your site...?

Well there isn’t much but you have a “Dividends” menu at the top where you can select the symbol you want to see history :)

It would be great if there were a dividend calculator tool. So I could input the number of shares I want to buy, or the amount of BTC I wish to spend, and it would tell me what dividends I would have received had I been invested. Also what that amount paid in dividends equates to as a % of investment (i.e. ROI). Also some kind of ranking so the companies paying the biggest dividends based on their share price are easy to find!

@Miitch thank you for your input, those are interesting ideas indeed :) For some I’ll have to import trades first but I like the idea of knowing how much you could have gained.
I don’t know when any of this will be available but I’ll update my post when new features are available :)

Dividend chart might be a bit confusing.

For example, this one:
http://www.havelockstats.com/dividends/PETA/6m

Suggests that dividends for PETA fell on July, whereas what happened was that they simply began paying them much more often.

Or this one, seems to suggest that dividends increased:
http://www.havelockstats.com/dividends/CBTC/1y

But they skipped two months of payouts, so they haven't really.

Perhaps some kind of a rolling average, or a sum would be better?

Well actually PETA has multiplied its shares by 14 at this time (instead of having 1 share for 14 GH/s you now have 14 shares at 1 GH/s). So mechanically dividend per share is lower :) Maybe I should try to standardize the value of the old dividends by dividing them by 14.

Or this one, seems to suggest that dividends increased:

Yeah I understand what you’re saying and you might be right. But at the moment I only display data I gather from the Havelock API. I don’t know what is the right approach on this.
What do you have in mind when you say “a sum”? A chart with each point being the sum of the past dividends + the new dividend? I’ll try to find some informations about the way to display dividends on a chart too ;)

And thank you for your feedback!
