I got the above graph from the first letters of every username on all of steemit!
I did this as a first attempt at playing with Steemit blockchain data.


That large spike there is "s". Each bar is the next letter in the alphabet (steemit usernames can only start with letters and are all lowercase)


The code below is python code for making this graph and printing out the total number of usernames.

import steem
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

steemd = steem.steemd.Steemd()
chain = steem.blockchain.Blockchain()

usernames = steemd.get_all_usernames()
print(len(usernames))

firstLetters = [name[0] for name in usernames]

keys = list("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")
values = [firstLetters.count(key) for key in keys]
counts = dict(keys=keys,values=values)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

plt.bar(list(range(26)), height=values)
plt.show()

As of writing this...268,375 accounts have been created on steemit!
(compare this to Facebook's 1,280,000,000 DAILY active users!)...

Just some things to think about...
Thanks,
