How many accounts on STEEM blockchain?

justyy (82) in steem • 8 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.

Although the python lib is undoubtedly outdated, this is not the cause this time.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

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

3619629

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?
