RE: Steem: Claimed Account Activity Analysis
Hi Asher, great follow-up to your previous analysis! Account creation is still strongly dominated from what 'steem' is doing and the graph on the accounts created per day again shows their change in strategy from creating new accounts once every 1-2 weeks to a more continuous creation process. I like the activity analysis of the created accounts! I think we've seen the blocktrades accounts in average more active than others in other occasions before? You've likely found the reason for the relatively high number of upvotes from actifit-created accounts, but I'm surprised by the comment rate of fundition-created accounts. Do you have any idea on the reasons there? The distribution of posting authorities is a cool addition to the analysis! This aspect can easily make a full analysis on its own, but it nicely shows which apps attract users. Drugwars is certainly a strong driver for new (alt-)accounts in the last couple of weeks. Going through the list of account creator names, there are some who even used enumerated account names for the game. I guess we won't be able to answer the question of how many individuals are actually behind :)

Hi @crokkon
Thanks for the review!
Thanks for correcting me on 'steem's change to the way they create accounts, this looks like a much better approach by them.
'blocktrades' scores really well in all areas, and I think that second only to 'steem', these claims are going to more individual people, and less towards alts.
I agree that a more focused analysis on posting auths and activity would be a worthwhile venture, perhaps with some activity criteria such as last post/comment via that application, and not just related to claimed accounts.
Accounts created via fundition claims is certainly eye-catching, especially considering they don't actually have their own account creation process and redirect to Steemit sign-up. I'm not sure what we would find if that rabbit-hole was explored ;)
Cheers!
Asher
