Very nice compilation of Bitcointalk Signature Campaigns.
I've linked your research in our German local board because it's very interesting.
But one question:
Since you calculated for your statistics only campaigns when they were started as explained here:
So what criteria are you using to select sig campaigns every year?
Because I believe Chipmixer should be representing every year (yet it appears only once) since 2017
I only represent the campaign in a year where it was started, if I do include the campaign into the next year, it will ruin the beginning pay rate of the project want to pay their participants since I calculate with different Bitcoin price. Also it will make a confusion and not good for readers to read a complex calculation. But you're not entirely correct Chipmixer will represented in every year because when they change their pay rate from 0.0375 BTC to $300, if Bitcasino still pay their participants with 0.018 BTC/week, they're the biggest paying campaign now.
Would you be interested to update at least some recent years (starting from 2017) and provide an additional calculation where the most rewarded campaigns are always included (as long a such campaigns were running?). So, Chipmixer would be included from 2017 to 2022 and rewards were lowered from 2021 on.
But I don't know if it would be too much work fo you.
Decision is up to you.
