Is there a party planned for the one million user milestone? Technology grows exponentially and Steem grew to 500,000 users to date. That is approximately 21 months since Steemit was launched in March 2016. The Wikipedia article claims there were 170,000 users as of May, 2017

170,000 users in first 14 months.
330,000 users in last 7 months.

We should see approximately 650,000 new users in the next 3 months if this pattern continues.

Yeah, social websites tend to grow exponentially, so I have no doubt that we get even more new users than the number you calculated ;) I think the incrising value of Steem and SBD will also attract a lot of new people here.

I've read that only 30 000 active (it's actually cool).

You are right. We reached half a million total accounts. Its just a simbolic mark, what really matters is the numner of active accounts! But I think its pretty cool thar we reached that before the end of the year!

It's symbolic, but it's still nice to be able to celebrate milestones like this one! All websites have problems with low retention rate, and while Steemit's retention rate is a bit too high, it's still a nice number to reach.

Yeah, I was pretty frustrated with steemd.com, then while researching a steem api to get the data that I was looking for, I found this website! And they also have some charts at:
https://steemdata.com/charts

Oh nice, those look great! Now I don't need to check out the daily reports that I read all the time here on Steemit anymore.

Still ~40 Millions Pageviews per month.

Where can one see the number of registered accounts?

You can usually find it at https://steemd.com/distribution, but it is down for maintenance right now..

@oyvindsabo, @valth
steemd/distribution its always down for maintance! I recomend using https://steemdata.com/stats

Oh, I didn't know that. I remember using it maybe 6 months ago, but just found it again for this post. But thanks for linking me to a working site! :)
