I did an analysis today of the new users coming to Steemit by using the information on https://steemd.com/distribution.
What I found was that we had a very consistent flood of new users which I will lay out.
10:17 AM - 63,194 (+/- 0)11:14 AM - 63,342 (+148)12:14 PM - 63,504 (+162)2:14 PM - 63,614 (+110)4:01 PM - 63,744 (+130)5:06 PM - 63,805 (+61)6:02 PM - 63,834 (+29)7:05 PM - 63,900 (+66)9:35 PM - 63,976 (+76)Total was 782 new users in 11 hours!
Now obviously our users are spanned across the world so times will vary. (My time is CST)
This actually was not even the time for most of our new users when looking at https://steemle.com/charts.php
And here is the data I collected for my analysis above.
