Here a special preview for you of the monthly values, where "active" means made at least one post, comment or upvote. I will add it to my next daily stats.

That looks more in line with the data from @penguinpablo but still not 100k.
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 :))
To calculate the "active" accounts, 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 calculations for the month of June:
Total active accounts: 89,950
Active curators only: 52,750
Active authors only: 42,124
Active curators and authors: 58,904
Good to see we have almost the same numbers :) The difference is, how to define an "active" account. I have included the creation of an account even if the account won't be used thereafter. If I exclude the 'account creation' I count only 62,532 active users in June. To my surprise. It seems a lot of people sign up without using their account thereafter. I did not expect that. I will exclude those accounts in my calculations from now on.
@penduinpablo, we could talk endlessly on the definition of "active user" ;)
I consider authoring (posts and comments) and curation (up/down votes) as the main activity with added value for the platform, hence my definition of "active" restricted to that.
