How Many Zero-Transaction Blocks?

When SteemMonster moved away from Steem, I noticed that the number of transactions in a block has been drastically reduced.

That is not good, the number of transactions shows the activity on the steem blockchain, in a way indicates how popular our chain is.

With a little help, I am able to see how many blocks are having zero transactions in the last 24 hours, 7 days, and 2 weeks.

select count(1) from witnessblocks where number=0 and time>=datetime("now", "-1 day");
select count(1) from witnessblocks where number=0 and time>=datetime("now", "-7 day");
select count(1) from witnessblocks where number=0 and time>=datetime("now", "-14 day");
select count(1) from witnessblocks where number>0 and time>=datetime("now", "-1 day");
select count(1) from witnessblocks where number>0 and time>=datetime("now", "-7 day");
select count(1) from witnessblocks where number>0 and time>=datetime("now", "-14 day");

Results

Zero-transactions blocks (24 hours): 263/28257=0.9%
Zero-transactions blocks (7 days): 2000/197666=1.01%
Zero-transactions blocks (14 days): 3425/367386=0.93%

On average, there are 0.9% to 1% per day blocks are containing zero transactions. More investigations can be done once the blocks are fully re-played.
