Nice catch!

It's pubkeys 😂 The informational website will eventually be merged into the app itself. I'll fix this though and not call it users.

So you’re telling me there are 42 million NOSTR pubkeys? Where does one obtain this data ?

I’d be surprised if it was 42k lol

It's linked on the website, I updated the labels to say "identities", which is more accurate. It's way less actual users on Nostr. Here is the statistics from:

Nostr Stats

But how do you get this data? Where are you gathering it from to make all these charts?

The website lists all the top relays in one chart, that's where it gets the data from.

I don't think we can just call an npub a user, there must be some additional metrix attached to the npub other then registered on a relay, like posts per month or a high WOT score.

You meant 42 :PepeLaugh:

Facts

How do you go into each relay and get that info and how do you know it’s unique npubs? I have a hard time believing we have 42 million unique npubs on NOSTR. If so then yay however it seems improbable based on the biggest users and their followers and the number of daily posts we have here ?

Anyone can generate public keys and there is a lot of spammers. The stats website says: 1,228,201 users 108,384 trusted users It will never be possible to truly get accurate number of real users on Nostr, for multiple reasons.

Just curious why you said 42 million if these are more accurate #s ?

It was initially meant to say public keys and not users. It was changed by AI at some point. Thanks for pointing it out so I got to fix it 🤙 Impossible to make such counts, there are private relays and communities that exists as well that can't be counted.

Sure
