How would you define an 'Active User'?
To calculate the "active" users, I have included any transaction that has been made by an account. This can be a post, upvote, downvote, transfer, sbd conversion, power up, power down or even the creation of the steem account itself.
Here are my numbers for the last 30 days (June 20 - July 20):
- All active accounts (including account_create): 105,889
- All active accounts (excluding account_create): 80,141
- Active curators: 68,614
- Active authors: 53,510
- Active curators and authors: 75,436
To my surprise it seems there are a lot of accounts created that are not being used thereafter. Strange... I don't know why. Anyway, as of today, I won't count these accounts as 'Active' anymore.
All data is coming directly from the Steem blockchain and is based on UTC time.

9. Steem Price Update
Awesome datas , please keep us updated. I follow you , thanks for your work.
I think account creation is a very significant user action, as such it should be part of the active stats. So i think ur original calc was better.
Yes many sign up and are never active, but that is because the sign up takes so long and is complicated.
I think active should just mean any activity, ie any type of transaction.
What do u think?
I prefer to exclude the accounts that have no activity after creation. I do not really consider a user as active of he hasn't used his account.
I was actually surprised by the difference. I agree with you the sign up process is to complicated. Hopefully this will improve after hard fork 20. Perhaps the difference will then be lower as well.
Yea. I think either way is fine as long as we know what it is.
Ive had a few friends that signed up and were confused and thus did not actually ever use steem due to the sign-up process.
They're missing out haha :)
I'm so glad I found your daily report. Getting all this info served right in my feed really helps my stay up to date on what's going on here on steemit. Thanks for all your hard work!
This info is very helpful for new steemit users like me because I still do not fully understand about the world of steemit! Thank you I hope you continue to provide interesting and latest information.
Always interesting to read your statistics.

Love watching all these stats, great that the Daily Active Users (Point 3 from this post) has been increasing very nicely!
I spend all day reading and writing about cryptocurrency because it is making the world a better place to live in. Here are some of my most popular articles

Nice stats. There are 2 things I think worth mentioning and maybe would look nice to be correlated to some of the graphs.
One is the fact that more people are commenting than creating posts. I think is a sign of maturity. As steem grows, you can not be noticed when you write small, low quality posts. It's easier to contribute to a strong topic in somebody's else post.
Second, I think the activity is correlated with the steem price. The rewards for the posts are getting low so more people get discouraged as they see they earning are getting low, so they stop posting and being less active...
I'm new and changed my strategy last week. I was trying hard to post a lot. Now I try for 1 post a day but post many more comments than that.
I got the suggestion of 10-30 comments a day and than later saw a post suggesting 100 comments a day!!!! I'm not up to that, but I'm still going to focus in that direction. I earn more steem money (still not understanding it) and I learn more about this place by commenting than by posting.
With everything I do post - I focus on keywords for the search engines. Steemit is small with readers, but the alexa and moz ranking mean that people from the outside will see my work better than my own 6 year old sites.
I'm really encouraged to be here even though the learning curve is a sledgehammer to my brain. I'm really a weight loss and health author and blogger and know nothing of crypto etc. I guess I will soon learn this new skill :)
interesting observations - now that Steem (http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/steem/) along with other cryptos have shot up, it'll be interesting to see if that positively impacts Steem's posts, active user total, etc. I'm guessing YES :)
I think some of these may be accounts created for sale. See anonsteem, who sell anonymous steemit accounts:

Good job keep it up.
It looks like this network can have an amazing future. Just waiting for Russian language and community. P.S. penguinpablo is a funniest nickname I have ever seen))

The thing from your post that I love is 2254 new accounts created
Come on steemit board 1 milion users pls
Great statistics
Thank you
i can see the continuous growth in recent months. Go steem to steem touch the sky :-)
More than half is not active?
Less than 25,000 DAILY "active" users to 100,000 "active" accounts.
Less than a 1/4 are active daily, which seems a bit worse.
Now to figure out how many are bots.
Really great job, but if a member just log in today to power down and it's not posting or upvoting is considered to be active? Because it's not so active I think
Great information. With your post we have know how steemit growing. Thanks for your info @penguinpablo
Sometimes stats paint a clear picture and sometimes not . You noted the large amount of created but un active . Would that add to or draw from the overall ?
thanx for shairing the steemit report card...
Followed you only because I can understand you quality of the posts . Getting today all this info will help me alot . Thanks for the hard work you put on . Cheers
great report! where you get all this info?
It's all publicly available on the Steem blockchain :)
There are many possibilities why the account was inactive after it was created. Such as problems with time or not
Understand how to use it. thank you :-)
nice post

Fascinating stats @penquinpablo as always now for the analysis. lol
I'll throw my idea about inactive accounts based on my very own real life steemit experience.
In my household alone four people have joined steemit in the last month.
I am a retired teacher and so have time to poke around steemit.
My daughter has just had a baby and is busy loving the new addition as am I. My son just opened a new hotel and has been working 14 hour days. My-son-in-law is running around like a headless chicken with the new arrival.
So there you go. Behind the statistics we find human life in all it's mundanities.
And that's just as it should be. Great news that steem is growing. Like life it will have it's ups and downs.
Long term as well the future looks good.
I see I wasn't the only one that converted SBD to steem once the price of SBD fell to around $0.80! With the price of bitcoin going back up and the recent steemit issues resolved, I wonder if we'll see an uptick in users again.
Mostly just an uptick in our VESTS value. ;)
.
so much information in one report great job
