60,000 of those are Atlas' accounts.  Another 7,000 belong to goons.  Subtracting scammers and their related sock puppet accounts, bitcoin has 5 legitimate users.  Last year there were four, though; so at this rate it will only be about 43.5 years before there are 68,000 legitimate users. 

In your calculations, did you take into consideration the increase in difficulty due to Atlas procreating?

That would likely cause the end of the world as we know it.

That's actually funny.

It would be funny if it were not so sad. Seriously, there are at most maybe 5.25 legitimate users. So the ECB has nothing to see here and should just continue ignoring Bitcoin.

That would require Atlas to have sex.  My calculations are correct.   Smiley

How would a dude from other side of town know how many people visited your house through a secret underground passage? Cubestat reports site age of 2 months, nuff said.

Number of registered accounts isn't reliable neither, as typically 80-90% of forum visitors does not register.

At this time, this forum alone has over 68K registered members.

Any metrics on daily/weekly unique users logging in? (ie active users).

In the Auction forum the "Advertise on this forum" threads, e.g:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/advertise-on-this-forum-round-57-121372

there is a link to the ad stats https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adstats, which gives some relevant stats for the period the ad was running, typically ~1 week.

....due to Atlas procreating?

Pictures or it didn't happen.  I'm not sure I'd believe it with pictures.

...or would ever be, more than 10K people


Someone actually thought that?

Yes, we had a great many hecklers on this forum in the first year at least.  Some are still around, I think.

the bad news: the official punishment for not reading what you quote is being hanged by the balls.
the good news: ignoring half of what you quote only gets you hanged by your left ball.

Maybe it was two years ago.  I'm old, so a year, give or take, isn't all that much anymore.

...there was much discussion on this forum about how many bitcoin users there were, and many doubters questioned whether there were, or would ever be, more than 10K people who used or cared about bitcoin at all.

At this time, this forum alone has over 68K registered members.  While that's certainly a far cry from a 'critical mass' of users, the number of people discovering Bitcoin each day is rising exponetially.

about a year ago this forum already had >30k users and the network had way more nodes than it has now....

in terms of good news regarding adoption i value torrentleech and ogrr using bitcoin much higher. the >1000 registered merchants bitpay has is nothing to sneeze at either.

Email users vs email servers. Ignore nodes when contemplating bitcoin users.
