Just minutes ago, at block number 22,492,022, the millionth account was created on the Steem blockchain.

steem create account xmlvnx with delegation
The account is @xmlvnx and the user appears to be human, judging from the activity at https://steemd.com/@xmlvnx
However, we need to keep in mind that a lot of the Steem accounts are botnets, duplicates and squatting accounts, i.e. non-organic. Nevertheless, it's very exciting to this place going forward and growing.

Woohoo! So exciting! I can't wait to see what happens!!
so glad you pointed out the obvious. Although 1m is an awesome number - churn rates are to high. I know many dont agree with me that this is a problem but I have to stand my ground. Now if the churn is just spam, bots and cheaters then good ridden
welcome on board @xmlvnx
I think our churn rate will go down. I'd estimate we will be at 180,000 actives at 2 million and have a higher Steem price as well.
All them folks telling their friends not to bother cant be helping our bottom line.
Is there any way to work out just the 'real people' numbers?
Probably need a few hundred thousand more to make up for all the fake accounts
But most of them are bot/sock/abandoned accounts. I would rejoice if the platform actually had new user retention.
i am very happy to part of this
Sigh.. I really want to be happy about it. I'm left wondering if @xmlvnx is going to be another bot..
From the looks at the activity, doesn't seem to be a bot.

Just the beginning, there is more to come, this platform deserves more than this.
Lol I toast the champagne with you. Irrespective of bots and other pitfalls, we are making progress and that's the most important thing.
@eurogee of @euronation community
Is there any way to easily seperate the data on bot accounts vs "real" accounts? Some website to track that? What stops people from creating new accounts just for the free steem delegation that new accts get?
I cant wait till we are celebrating 100 million accounts.
Awww. Someone should congratz him. @ned personally i think if hes not a bot. Thats quite a big deal. I was probably some stupid number like 674839. π..
Being 1 milionth anything is lucky. 1 millionth buyer of a dish washer detergent brand is lucky, let alone milionth user of something like Steem.
Ok, not lucky, happy?
Ha? Not getting what you mean. π
Im just saying that its a super cool thing being the person to breach a milestone for something. On airports when they reach like the 1 mil passengers that year they give the person flowers and a gift so i think it would be cool if Ned did something like that.
Cheers!!! Hereβs to a million more!!!
Letβs keep βem coming indeed, good Drakos !
Excellent achievement for the community. Looking for the next million members to join and I hope the infrastructure of steem will hold steady :)
Yeh, speaking of infrastructure and scalability, I didn't go into those details so I don't spoil the party.
Oh yeah. We are hoping for the best.
Lucky blast share of the millionth user. Welcome.
This is a time to celebrate.πΉπΉπ§π§πππΊπΊπΊπ»π»this community is growing at a good pace, however, with growing number of users, bigger challenges would come.
I hope our developers are prepared for those challenges.
Cheers!
There's no logical reason a crypto this fast, free and high capacity shouldn't be at least $50 to $100 a piece... It defies all sanity and I can't wait for the crypto world to get over its irrational love affair with slow, pricey, weak-ass bitchcoin...

Bot or human, 1M is something worth to celebrate on any platform.
Taking into account the amount of accounts that will be used to create spam, which you stop using for certain personal reasons, it is incredible the number of people that day by day are registered here, I think they should be more stringent with the requirements
plus what is an actual retention rate?
I'd be curious the actual ratio between human and bot accounts on Steemit.
Has humanity in its hubris simply made a decentralized platform for robots?!
It's not a bot, it's good news!
It must be super to be the millionth user.
Steemit has so many things to offer!
For me it is a school and it grows every day, millions more are missing!
The witnesses do a great job in maintaining the platform well
Thank you!!

user appears to be human
That's a rather ominous sentence, sort of sci-fi
It could be, it could not be... LOL very sci-fi
How many active accounts are there? but yes, the more the better :)
