We have seen an overall growth in the crypto industry in the last months. Is this affecting the numbers of new account joining and engaging on Hive? The last report on new accounts was two months ago. Let's take a look how are things standing now.
Apart from the numbers of new accounts created, we will take a look how are they engaging on chain. We know that gaming is taking a large part of Hive now. How many of the new accounts are gaming, how many postings, or maybe both?
Which dApp they used for to create their account?
We will be looking into the following:
- Number of accounts created per day and month
- Who created the accounts
- Type of operations made by the new accounts
Number of accounts created
Here is the chart for the overall accounts created.
More than 60k accounts were created from the start of the Hive blockchain.
The daily average is around 193 accounts.
There was an increase in the number accounts created per day in the first months, and then a slight drop. In the last period we can see an uptrend again.
The monthly chart for new accounts looks like this.
We can see the trend form above here as well. An increase in the new accounts created at first and then a slight drop. In the last three months there is an uptrend.
Who created the accounts?
Below is a chart for the account creators in the last month, January 2021.
@tipu is on the top with more than 1800 accounts, followed by the @esteemapp and then @threespeak, Splinterlands and then Leo.
I believe @tipu is creating accounts for hiveonboard.com.
These five are the main creators on accounts in the last month.
What are the new active accounts doing on the blockchain?
As mentioned above, posting is no longer the only option on the blockchain. The new accounts can play various games on Hive as well, without engaging in posting at all.
There is some overlapping in the activities from the new accounts. For example, a new account can make a custom json transaction (gaming) and post as well. Maybe do some curating and transfer funds around.
Here is the chart summarizing the new accounts by the combination of operation they have made.
From the total of 6300 accounts created in the period, around 3k don’t have any activity or, 50% share.
From the 50% active, accounts making custom json operations (gaming) are on the top with 1300 account making only that operation. Then a combination of posting and custom json operation.
In total around 1500 from the newly created accounts in January 2021 made a post operation.
A voting/curating operation made around 1000 accounts, even lower than the number of posts. This might not be as surprising since the new accounts usually don’t have large stake and are not curating as much. Around 500 accounts made a transfer.
The overall conclusion from the above is that new influx of users is coming more from the gaming category than blogging. Splinterlands is dominant in the gaming sector and with these with the overall onboarding of new active users on Hive.
There is significant number of new active accounts that started gaming and blogging at the same time. This is a very attractive aspect of the Hive blockchain. We all know gaming is huge on social media.
The posting side is still active with more than 1500 accounts started posting. Will be interesting to see how this develop if Hive finally is recognized as the social media blockchain that is censorship resistant and allows creating of immutable communities, that can reward their members.
All the best

This is why I have been praising the games so far. It is easier to convince someone to play a game than to convince them to write a blog. Existing bloggers are an exception. I have called @dbuzz "The Gateway Social Media DAPP" Users can easily share few words, videos or links without spending an hour infornt of their computer.

Nice work @dalz :)
Wondering if you could split out the 'not active' by creator - is it tipu producing most of these accounts?
Here it is
Non active accounts by creator.

Thanks!
More spread out than I thought. Are these created accounts going into a pool ready to be issued? I guess if they are not being created on the fly then the pooling 'waiting for action' could be why we have a lot of new creates that are seemingly doing nothing at all.
Not sure about this .... I was under the impression these accounts are created directly by the owners .... overall 50% retantion rate is not bad ... these are all new accounts, some of them created a few days ago, probably still lurking around.... probably a better way to look at the new active accounts is after some period, like a month or two after they were created
that would be really interesting to see :)
Done!

Yes, that would be good stats to check!
Check above :)

The growth has been steady (and this is great).
Nice work with the report, @dalz.

Hi @dalz don't know if you already did but it is possible to you make a chart with post per community or main tag?
For one week posting for example, I think that would be interesting.

Hey, yes I'm doing this type of posts from time to time, the last one was more than a month ago

What are the leofinance transactions? Are they posts or jsons because of hive-engine? Or both?
You mean what are the new accounts created from leofinance doing?
Mostly posting, but some other operations as well.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What I mean is: what happens when someone makes a post on leofinance (or any hive-engine community. I know it counts as a post, but is it also a custom_json or not?
Same question for votes and transfers with hive-engine tokens, are they custom_jsons on the hive blockchain or are they votes and trasfers.
Post on leofinance, hive.blog or any other frontend are posts, and they are eligible for votes and rewards distribution.
Custom json is also basically a text and you can store whatever text inside those.
The main difference between custom json and posts/comments is that jsons are not eligable for votes .... they are like a side nodes on the blockchain.
Votes on hive-engine tokens are not json. HE tokens transfers are.
The voting mechanics on the Hive engine is called scotbot (basically trails the Hive votes) and that one is the only closed source softwere that Hive Engine has. The other is open.
Thanks, that clarifies many things.

Hi mate, I have been looking for someone that might be tracking Hive-Engine token supply issuing history... any database you know of?
Cheers and thanks in advance. !BEER and !WINE while I salivate some hope on a reply. =)

Hey .... for what token exactly?
You can find the total supply on
https://leodex.io/token/SIM
As an example ...just change the token name
There is no specific tool for issuing tokens over time .... I can look at some of them manually :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Nop.. not that... I wanna know exactly when the token issuer issued "any quantity"... overtime.. for the history of the token... for all tokens if I wish. =)
I can't find anyone that is recording this. With exception of Hive-Engine... that probably has this recorded somewhere. But I haven't asked them yet. Wanted to know if anyone was recording those events
that now that I think about it (while writing) are not recording on HIVE blockchain right?... they are just Hive-Engine... so no one might have them... bugger...Ha! After all, is recorded!
So, yeah... my question maintains... has anyone recording this into a database for easy search... etc...
Yes, they are recorded on the Hive blockchain .... I can give you a report for a specific token
SIM... =) for a trial... are you getting this from @arcange HiveSQL DB?
dcitygame issue SIM to dcitygame from time to time.
Then it distributes to players on a daily basis.
I making dcity stats, probably will do one soon with more details.
Tag me when you do that one please.
Yes ... I use the hivesql database

Many people who make statements by feelings have a lot to learn from you 😂
About your table of
Non active accounts by creatorthat I saw in comment, it doesn't seem that the 50% of non-active accounts come from a problem of the funnel of account creation in view of the well balanced repartition. Where do you think we are losing them? Complicated use of keys? Complicated use of the frontend/game? Or people who were just curious? Did you see a specific pattern in the names of these accounts?@mintrawa: Witness FR - Gen X - Geek 🤓 Gamer 🎮 traveler ⛩️

Thanks!
I actually think 50% is quite good retention rate. Usually its way lower than that. Have in mind these accounts are created in January, so some of them will take some time looking around before making some operation.
People sign up for something and never open it.
Yes, you're right. It will be interesting, I think, in a next post in a few months to see how many of the 1500 who made a post operation continue to do it, same for gaming 😉
