Checking out @arcange's latest statistics, I noticed that the Steem blockchain is now processing over 700.000 transactions per day.
That's already more than any other blockchain. But what is more important is that we are getting close to surpassing the magical one million transactions per day in the near future.
When that happens, it's time to make sure that everybody knows about it. We should be sharing and tweeting it everywhere, not forgetting press releases to cryptojournals. The goal is to make it the most talked topic of the day in the cryptosphere.
From a marketing perspective, it's perfect. It's not baseless hype (like most of the blockchain marketing), it's the real deal: Steem is the most used blockchain in the world and we are making everybody aware of that fact.
What is needed?
We should have a counter that shows "transactions in the last 24 hours" and also shows what the current record is and when it was hit. And when the million tx line is crossed, the counter should so the timeframe when that happened. Preferably a website or a page in Steem-related website so the link easy to share. It should so the relevant information clearly, not buried under other charts and numbers.
It's not enough to say that "Steem is the most used blockchain". Some people are still skeptical about Steem, so it's best to tell exactly when the record was hit if anybody wants to double check it.
Hopefully what you're saying will one day become true. And we will remember this day, moving forward and look back with admiration and all just that much richer

Hi everyone! I am a newbie. We are in the #homesteading category mostly. In fact, us homesteaders usually only know about Bitcoin and Steemit. We are all bloggers and YouTubers...we are not cryptocurrency people.
So why is Steem so low compared to currencies like Dash, Ether, Litecoin?
For all we can tell...Steemit really is IT!!! But why is Steem only worth $1.84? And WorldCoinIndex.com rates it at 32 out of 100?
Again, we are homesteaders riding tractors and chasing chickens. So I guess I need to read more in the Steem category instead of topics about gardening. haha.
Thank you very much for this post! :)

Mostly because marketing has been pretty much non-existent. Nobody knows how great platform Steem is.
That's why I want to make sure that million tx day won't be missed. It's great opportunity to make some noise.

And I'm following YOU!
I'll have post and tag you in it once it comes true. Any thoughts on if it is smart or stupid to take a couple hundred dollars of Bitcoin and put it into steem? If it makes that big of an increase then that would make sense, right?

Not so much on giving fiancial advice. I do think there will be a little dip in Steem price maybe down to $1 and then we won't ever see $1 again. I'm waiting for that moment. THANKS FOR THE FOLLOW!

Sorry, I shouldn't have asked that. My bad. You just got me super excited!! haha. But...your thoughts on the dip makes a lot of sense.

Not very many people know about steemit. And I think one million transactions will be a real kick in the butt for people who are on the fence.

So there is no direct correlation between volume and priced value? Are you suggesting there should be? I may not be grokking this issue, though.....
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
No correlation because very few people are tracking them. But they should be at least somewhat correlated because usage means that the blockchain is actually doing something right because people use it. Most blockchain communities are just making hype that "someday our blockchain will be used by lot of people".
Steem is different. We are making real results instead of hype.

Yeah, it's there! But we need also the best record and a timeframe when it happened. Preferably on a separate page so that everyone will see it clearly.

Hay @samupaha,
as writte on Steem-Chat I've created a quick and dirty prototype https://steem.bittrade.eu. Please let me know all your requirements and I will try to implement them asap. I am currently only counting the transactions of the past 28800 blocks (1 block every 3 seconds -> 28800 blocks = 24 hours).
From what I've read here you also want some kind of highest value and the date when this max peak occured, right? Something more?
Best regards,
@dez1337

One million transactions a day should get noticed.
Yes... We need counters of all types for steem.
Btw. I really like the busy.org format.

So, what would it mean that there are so many transactions per day?... I think this can happen when more people join steemit...

Mostly this is about comparing Steem to other blockchains. When measured in daily transactions, we are the best.
