RE: Locations of Users Active in Last Month

Yeah, with a bit more work it should easily be possible to determine the distribution of stake across the world. I think we will not be surprised to find the vast majority in the US and Europe, though the largest accounts don't actually disclose their locations.

I am still curious as to why El Salvador likes Peakd so much (20% of visitors), but we do not seem to have many users there.

It's because that data comes from Alexa.com which used to use a sampling method with a browser extension. Sampling tends to have more error for smaller countries. The truth is we never had a significant El Salvador userbase.

Alexa.com has stopped operating since then and the data you see is out of date.

It did seem strange for such a small country. Losing that Alexa data is a shame as it did at least give some idea of how popular various sites were. I don't know what alternatives we have.
