I always use the stats from @penguinpablo to stay up to date about the amount of active users on the blockchain.
He recently changed it to "Daily accounts transacting" after a comment by @jerrybanfield here.
I never thought about it before but it makes perfect sense that there is a huge difference between accounts making transactions on the blockchain (up-voting/commenting/posting) and users that come across all the different frontends the steem blockchain has to offer (dtube, dlive, dsound, busy.org for instance) and don't interact at all but read/watch content.
I do this all the time on youtube for instance.
I watch content but I don't interact. Yet I am a active user and (most likely) very valuable to youtube.
I just don't know yet how we could calculate 'active users' and if it's even possible.
It's a very interesting question. But it's surely much higher than "Daily accounts transacting".
A couple of reasons apps will benefit from an SMT.
There was a question (by @gikitiki) I got after my vlog from yesterday where I believe steepshot could benefit from an SMT.
The question he asked was why apps would use an SMT and not just use STEEM? here.
Two reasons I gave were:
- Different people trending because SP has no influence. (the SMT will).
- No need to buy/get delegated a huge stake for the app developer to have influence on their own app.
There are more reasons I think off.
I talk about it more in my vlog.
I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.
We build Steemify a notification app for your Steemit account for iOS.

Excuse me, but i couldn’t get the main ( direct 2 reasons ) Why apps Will benefit from SMT better than from steem! Is there something i am behind to understand?
I am glad to see that Active users on this great platform are gradually increasing. Yes, i agree , there are many active users who view the content but don't interact, should those also be placed in active category...
yup! It will be much much higher for sure.
There should be an upvote button for people with no account. A guest upvote. Like if my post on reddit brings a 1000 views here I should get rewards..
Not only apps would be beneficial of SMT’s. I’m certain SMTs drastically improove Steem value. It already did, but it also will. Smart media tokens will expand the powerful steemit platform and ecosystem which could include ICO’s. That’s just the small part of SMT. Can you imagine how enormous Steemit ecosystem could be?
Yeah, I think about it almost every day.
@exyle,
A valuable discussion you are conducting here! It almost covered few things that went to FAQ of my own thoughts! Thank you friend!
Cheers~
I like those two reasons for SMTs @exyle. The sooner the better as far as I'm concerned. Steemit seems to be getting more and more flooded with spam accounts and posts. It's a huge waste of time having to trawl through them. 😢
I would suggest you start muting them. That way spammers will disappear from your posts and others posts and you won't see them anymore.
You're right. And I do mute the comments @exyle. I was thinking about the accounts that follow and unfollow me on a regular basis that clog up my feed in GINA. There doesn't seem to be any way to stop them.
I don't understand why they are allowed to continue. a-0-0 joined in january. It is muted and it has a rep of (-6). All it does is resteem posts, many of which are similar spam accounts so are probably the same person.
It has 36237 followers, has made 57768 posts and is following 373322 other accounts. That's just the first one in the list. There are loads of similar ones.
A friend of mine joined Steemit 10 days ago and has made a decent post every day. She already has 55 followers and every one of them is a spam or bot account. It's getting increasingly ridiculous! 😢
activeness is the major key for any platform and steem blockchain is always on top of that :)
This type of data makes me think that we shouldn't try to find anymore information about STEEM blockchain or steemit, because every data that we find is always saying that the community is bigger than everybody expected, it is ridiculous how big this is getting, and we are losing track of how big this growth is... :D
Don´t get me wrong, this project still very small, but we are talking of millions of people already involved in such a low amount of time.
You covered a lot of info. When are the SMT's coming out? Is Appics already out?
Thank you for these great posts
UP
Great work @exyle but I think in other to calculate active users we still need to consider members that login, read contents but doesn't interact , there must be numbers criteria to used in determining active users and not just by interaction, The way I viewed steemit platform its not design for you to make money alone but also design for you to learn some vital things about life, business, and even how to make money depending on your interest and that is why whenever you post you get new followers that will want to get subsequent post relating to what you just published .
Excitera Me, bit i didn’t get the påmint ( direct 2 resdons ) Why apps Will benefit from SMT better than from steem! Is there something i am behandlas to understand?
by the way thanks for provide another good story.
Great story post.. I love dtube... Thanks for sharing valuable post... I appreciate your writing poetry... there must be numbers criteria to used in determining active users and not just by interaction....The way I viewed steemit platform its not design for you to make money alone but also design for you to learn some vital things about life and even how to make money depending on your interest and that is why whenever you post you get new followers that will want to get subsequent post relating ...best of luck... Upvote and resteemit..
good post

I think the best figure is what we currently have as the daily account transacting in a day. It might not be as high as the total number of users active in a day (those who log in to just read and watch), but it gives us a clear image of people carrying out real activity on the block chain.
YEs we have lot more Active users then we can see just now... but I am sure soon we have app what can see it all.
I usually active here, but I only read and move to another post. This platform is the better platform to read knowledgeable posts.
Very true, sometimes it so happens that, I look lots of beggers post, but interact very little. So active users are much more .Thanks for sharing such an amazing fact. Good luck.
I will suggest active users are selected base on those who are genuine and diligent to the block chain. Excellent comments, reasonable upvotes and good content should be the criteria to judge ...
i am new comer but recently i active in this platform and try to post valuable thing
Nice post...
Your problem was given or very, how to how to over the interoper between the friends with same.
Nice way of explaining SMTs utility, but I think they are becoming somewhat of a mythical saviour at this point because of how long they are taking to implement :)
An honor I can read your post @exyle a tremendous change I see today and competition continues to be created to make it easier for people around the world today, this is a very meaningful science for me in using stats from @penguinpablo to keep up to date about number of active users in blockchain.
Currently I see the competition of marketing continues to happen and all invertor to wave to win the market today.
And a variety of applications continue to be encouraged to facilitate us to a very positive thing
And regarding the developer group @blockbrothers for blockchain Steem.ini something very extraordinary and we become the winner later.
We win together
See youon the top
Really great that users are increasing in number. As long as people are interacting this place will thrive and exist.
The number of active users will definitely increase eventually specially now that the price of steem and SBD is growing back to what it was when it's more than $10.00. It's better to get as much as possible now because it's quite certain price will increase due to developments going on in steem blockchain.
Your writing story is great , good job , keep it up .
Your post is always different i follow your blog everytime , your post is so helpful . I always inspire of your post on my steem work . Thank you for sharing @exyle
Follow my blog @powerupme
Calculating the number of active users can’t be done manually, and that’s for sure so a bot is needed to do that. And talking about active users on steemit , this could be categorized into 1. Active commenters 2. Active Posters 3. Active commenters & posters . A bot is sure needed
Ooooh, ok! SMT's make a lot more sense to me now, thank you for the great explanation. I feel like I finally get why they will exist. Hey, I'd use your "grill" app, even though I'm a Weber guy, lol. Learned something new today, cheers!
