How many accounts on STEEM blockchain?

in steem •  7 months ago 

The following bot shows the number of account on steem is 3619540 which seems incorrect.

The answer is from the following Python code:

from steem import Steem

steem = Steem(nodes = ["https://api.steemit.com"])
print(steem.steemd.get_account_count())

So, likely, there is a bug with the steem Python lib, which is not under active development/maintainence.

This is a much realistic number, as the accounts are obtained by the steem.api.lookupAccounts from "a" to "z" alphabetically.

Steem to the Moon🚀!

Although the python lib is undoubtedly outdated, this is not the cause this time. It depends on the server you are requesting:

Steemit node:
s = Steem(nodes=["https://api.steemit.com"])
print(s.steemd.get_account_count())

3619629
My node:
s = Steem(nodes=["https://api.moecki.online"])
print(s.steemd.get_account_count())

1894124

However, this is no less worrying because we can now ask ourselves why the steemit node throws out such an obviously erroneous number.

Nice, and I hope someone will deal with it at sometime...

... just like with the Python Lib. I already have ambitions for that. Do you know who has the authorisations for the steem-python repo? Also @ety001?
