Thanks! I fixed it!

A typo, July instead of June, please fix it.
You forgot to update OP, and there is a typo in OP, too.

Added statistics for Jule and August 2019

Month	Registered	Total at the beginning of the month	% increase	First user of the month
July	18 913	2 638 589	0,71%	First user of Jul, 2019

September	??	2 673 954	??	First user of Sep, 2019

All in all these are strong statistics in terms of the brand value and recognition of Bitcoin as the average monthly registrations for 2019

have been steadily above the months' in 2017 preceding Cryptocurrencies' parabolic increase in value that year;

so the interest remains robust despite a full year of heavily bearish crypto markets.

You already can …. If you single click on any of the dates on either side of a date filter slider, a calendar should appear to allow you to select the desired date. Alternatively, after performing the single click, you can overwrite the date by simply typing in the new date to filter by.

The date filter on the screenshots you provided allow you to filter by account creation date, but not by ranked-up date. The idea is to allow us to see what accounts created in a certain timeframe have managed to do in terms of ranking.

Currently, I display the aggregate and detail of all those that have ranked-up needing merits in the process, but I do not calculate the specific date when one ranked-up (I calculate the fact that they have ranked-up, but do not track the precise when). Nevertheless, for Legendries and Heroes, I do detail, on the weekly post, the names of the accounts that have ranked-up (see appended weekly posts on this thread: Bitcointalk Merit Dashboard).

DdmrDdmr has his merit-data-tracking and analytics on this, but results are real time, and I don't know how to trace back to previous months results. Maybe, if you want to have it, you should ask him.
I think you can ask him for help, here: Bitcointalk Merit Dashboard
Or you can play with it, here:

For example: Please look at figures for Full Member rank.
By defaults, results displayed for 4/24/2019.

If I scroll the timepoint back to 1/16/2019, I will have this one.

By the way, if @DdmrDdmr see this post, and have spare time, I think a new option to manually type timepoints will be great. It is hard to get exact timepoints we want by scrolling mouse.

Btw, this is a little bit off-topic question since this is about the ranking/merit system. Do you have also some data or thread already about newly ranks up?
Like, are there any way to know how many jr.member ranked up to sr. member/ sr. member ranked up to hero by monthly?
Because I'm just curious, since the users' registrations on Bitcointalk decrease in the year 2019 compare to the year 2017 or year 2018, maybe the merit system has also effect on registrations.

Looking at the statistics of user registration on bitcointalk, you will find out 2019 has the lowest registered members compared to other years. Since the introduction of merits, many individuals has stopped account farming to join bounties because each bounty requires a merit to be able to join. Opening new account is quite challenging to get a merit cos you really need to work hard for it

I partially use your data, and make this one:
Assumed monthly statistics on registered accounts of bitcointalk.org (2009-2019)

Is it a contest called "find the difference in topics"?

For the first time since may 2018 recorded an increase in the number of registered users in relation to the previous month.

For new registered account figures, I suggest to exclude all newbies, that registered, and almost have no activity count, or even got banned or nuked.
Those sort of bot-created or farm-accounts don't represent true trend of new users in the forum.
They are extreme outliers, and should be excluded all.

Registered accounts is on a steep descending trend, although we need to take into consideration that many are registered and never active at all. If we look at some data I interpreted back in November 2018 (see Analysis - Bitcointalk Accounts – Date of Register vs Last Active per Rank), there is an interesting table that speaks for itself:



As we can see above, as of November 2018:

- Brand New accounts that stay as Brand New accounts are massive, and have been steadily increasing over the years

- Most of those Brand New accounts stay baron on creation, not being active (login-in) in the years after their creation. Take for example 2017: out of the 434.487 Brand New accounts, 348.196 did not log-in during 2018 (only 86.291 did).


The above just goes to show how many accounts are not active in terms of posting, and likely many of them are bot created accounts that the creator managed to create but did not get on to the next step: exploiting them with automated posts in campaigns. Current reduction monthly figures are therefore subject to what trend these type of accounts have. Nevertheless, reduction is noticeable.

Clicking on the profiles of OPs listed first user of the month, for each month, kind of hints what is going on behind the scenes: out of the 27 listed profiles, only 11 made at least 1 post, and out of the pre-2019 profiles, only 2 out of the 24 have been active during 2019.


Another complementary reading can be taken from the number of posts created per month:



The number of created post per month is dropping to similar numbers as those around the first half of 2017. There is an obvious correlation to crypto hype and value variance, and the numbers are interpretable according to one’s perspective. For a person signed-up during early 2018, things are really quiet now. For a person who signed-up in 2016 or before mid 2017, numbers seem to be training back to those days.

Note: Number of posts reading for the 25/03/2019 is a linear projection of todays reading minus the reading on the 23/02/2019. Actual value may differ and I really expect it to be lower.
