RE: How many accounts on STEEM Blockchain? Official Nodes say 3.65M but Others say 1.93M
Also, with his RPC https://api.steem.fans and https://rpc.amarbangla.ne, I get 3.65M

Most likely these 2 nodes just redirect the requests to api.steemit.com
Is there an advantage to making one API simply redirect to another? Doesn't it just cause the owner to lose resources without any benefits, or am I missing something?
If a node just simply redirects all requests/APIs to another node, it would be useless.
Hi, by the way! I made a script to fetch all user accounts on Steem using two different nodes — the official one and another that reports 1.9 million accounts. Since both nodes return the same number when running the script, we can confirm that the total number of accounts on Steem is 1.9 million.
Yes, that is what I thought. I used an api to get all account names, it is 1.9M.
