Well, this is my first English posting and not sure who even reads this :) But I'm writing about this memorable finding (at least to me), and also curious if it's worth for me to write some post in english.

Korean version (한글버전은 여기로): https://steemit.com/kr/@blockchainstudio/100-100


Who's real one millionth Steemit user?

While many people including steemitblog@steemitblog (https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/1-000-000-steem-accounts) and quo@quo him/herself believe that xmlvnx@xmlvnx is the one millionth Steemit user, I found that there is a hidden very first "user" with id=0 (miners@miners, see https://steemd.com/@miners) as I expected.

The hidden very first "user"

I think miners@miners is not so well-known given that I was the second follower (# of followers of the real second "user", null@null (id=1) is 1346 as of now). I made a screenshot and sent 0.001SBD for keeping this memory :) I found miners@miners using steemit python API (http://steem.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

Here are some accounts with special numbers.

users created on 1970-01-01

Surprisingly, up to id=3, i.e., 4th user, they were "created" on 1970-01-01 UTC midnight. As you may know, this is the beginning of unix time. This may be a bug or just intended, since they are for test or special purposes anyway. admin@admin (id=4) is the first account created on 2016-03-24.

Update: If you wanna consider users created on 1970-01-01 as non-users, the real millionth user is houdio@houdio (with id=1,000,003). Thank glory7@glory7 for pointing out this :)

Daniel Larimer 10th(11th), but Ned 497th?

I think Ned had other previous accounts, but I don't know the history. Please let me know if you know.

Here are some souvenirs :)

@miners

I'm the second follower of miners@miners! (unless unfollowed again)
