EOS Onboarding - Number of accounts created since snapshot
EOS price goes down and down again, and bad news and controversy doesn't seem to end. But apart from the financial aspect, i wanted to know, how the low key interest is in the EOS blockchain, and if there are folks who join this newly created mainchain.
This figure would show, if people come to eos to explicitely use the chain, if its about mere trading opportunities, this is certainly better done on exchanges.
We do know from the Genesis Snapshot on 2.6.2018, there have been 169930 accounts been identified.
Just recently @genereos has drawn a new snapshot for their poort token, and based it on the data from 10.7.2018, their result is: 196134 accounts in total.
This means, a mere number of 26204 new accounts have been created since the original snapshot.
Given the time-frame of June 2, 2018 (until July 10), weh have 38 days, so this means, they handled roughly 690 accounts / day
So ist this good or bad?
At first sight, this doesn't look too bad given the fact that there were not really any infrastructure available this shortly after the event. On the other hand EOS promises to be the chain to introduce mass adoption, and at the current rate, 251850 accounts would be created within 12 months
Let's have a look at the steemit platform:
Here @PenguinPablos provides his daily updates on the Steem-Blockchain, so we can look how steemit fared in the meantime. If you dont know it here is a reference:

The onboarding on steemit is really slow, but it seems, not all were avaible to fullfill.
If i take the average of the daily figures between June 2 and July 10, i get a surprisngly clear reponse: steemit is able to an has created an average of 1286 accounts per day. So there is clearly a greater up-pick to be seen, nearly the double figure of the maker / DAo masses,
I think the key distinction here is that Steemit is on boarding users to STEEM. They are also delegating STEEM to “pay” for the accounts. Right now on EOS no such system exists yet. If you don’t have an account on EOS you must pay someone to create it for you. Once EOS has useful dApps willing to open free accounts to on-board users usage will pickup. Let’s wait and see how good the dApps are.
You are quite right! Steemit lends users the steem power required to run an account, whereas in eos you would need to sponsor the ram purchase. To be fair steemit had much lower onboarding rates at the start of the year yet. But as long as ram costs are not insignificant, onboarding will remain an issue
A differentiation needs to be made between new accounts and new users. There is an incentive to create new accounts by people who are already invested in EOS because they could have potential value because of the name system. Unfortunately this value will not be realised unless
But I digress. There is currently a barrier for new users of EOS and I believe that unless something is done to remove that barrier we will screw our ecosystem.
Very good points added! Currently the incentive for actual new users isn't that big, and if you just want to have the coin and a few airdrops.
