How busy is the Steem blockchain?
Just for fun, here are some numbers that I collected during the last 4 or 5 hours (assuming no programming errors):
| Operation | Average Ops/Min | Max Ops/Min |
|---|---|---|
| Comment | 8 | 120 |
| Transfer | 6 | 2600 |
| Vote | 160 | 14,080 |
| All operations | 243 | 14,120 |
Two facts that emerge quickly are that something like 2/3 of all operations were vote operations and that the average number of vote operations per comment operation was around 20 ("comment" includes posts and replies).
Note that (for now) the "per minute" number is obtained by multiplying a single block's operation count by 20. It's not a continuous calculation over a full minute.
More about the program that gathered these stats in next week's Programming Diary, I expect...

Hi, can I use your graphics for a Steem Instagram account?
You must be very busy right now because you are not posting your weekly reports. I miss them :)
Hi, sure, feel free to use the graphics.
Sorry about the weekly reports. I touched on that in the closing note, here. The main thing is that SteemDB.io still hasn't caught up after last month's API downtime. It is stuck at September 6 for a bunch of the data links that I was using, so several of my visualizations cannot be refreshed.
Ah, now I understand. Thank you.
Hi, I'm trying to wrap my head around your stats here. They are fun. I'm new to this steem block chain.
Here's my take on an entirely different topic. "Turning Point" in life. Check it out whenever you have time :)
