Strange... My figures are a lot higher. I count 23,906 distinct users on 2017-07-18. May: 33,655 and June: 89,950.
I also count the accounts that made a transfer, power up/down or downvote, but I don't think that will make such a big difference.
I will count only the active curators tomorrow to see if I have about the same figures as you have.
i think it is correct to include any activity into the active starts.
Thank you for checking in. It is always good to verify data. It seems clear that the 20k monthly users however cannot be correct so i think overall my analysis should generally hold.
But 60k active users vs 100k is a bit of a strange difference if i read arcanes chart correctly?
Definitely curious to hear what the consensus is on the N* of daily active users after these comments.
For the last 30 days (June 20 - July 20)
All active accounts (including account_create): 105,889
Active accounts (excluding account_create): 80,141
Active curators only: 68,614
Active authors only: 53,510
Active curators and authors: 75,436
What does "including vs. excluding account_create" mean? Is the simple creation of an account already considered being an "activity" though?
Yes, that's right. The creation of an account is the first transaction of that account. But it's better to exclude it, because the user hasn't really done anything.
Yeah, I fully agree :)
Great job on putting all this information together! If I wasn't following you already, I'd do it now :))
