State of EOS onboarding, October Update
As it's the beginning of the month it's also time to take a new look at how EOS is doing, as of new accounts and active accounts.
Since my last update, when there was a significant spike in new accounts (based on the mainnet launch snapshot), nearly 2 months have passed, so are there new users coming?
In my view, the numbers are still very good, but not breath taking:
There are, as of October 5, 354 094 EOS accounts, so that's more than double from the Genesis Snapshot counting 169 930 accounts.
It means that on average there are 1473 new accounts created daily, which again, isn't bad, but it is less, than what the report figures showed mid August, when it was at impressive 2370 accounts daily (maybe that was the point, when many new account creation tools and wallets jumped up, which didnt exist before).
As some have pointed out, of course, there are many folks which hust created additional accounts, but i guess, this is becoming less and less of a factor, because who needed it, or wants to hord, has already done this.
Take a look at the detailed stats yourself:
Current figures Taken from @eosnewyork account snapshot service, Thank you
Just recently i stumbled over another stats service, that compares active crypto accounts.
If you compare BTC, ETH and EOS, its apparent, EOS with its 65 8283 active accounts, has way to go. But it also demonstrates the steep increase of accounts used actively:

Finally to another number, that of user accounts that are voting: this is still at a meager 33,558 accounts (provided by EOS Authority)
This is certainly the figure that needs to improve most significantly!
All EOS wallets should try to be like EOSlynx, because it's too confusing for the beginner to set-up an account. They want their EOS off the exchange, if they've any sense and in their own wallet and then they can receive the airdrops, sharegrabs etc.
Yeah it should be simple as that. I guess it will be the norm. The issue is trust. I personally would never let my keys be created by any wallet app. But for this you need knowledge. I have to admit, i have been using the bitcoin QT app over 3 years until realising, i can export my private key... but also all this will soon be common knowledge, and the bar not so high. Now its the gamplers, tomorrow it's the gamers and soon it will be all the real world dapps.....
Good to see growth but its still pretty low really eos needs to be in the 100s of millions . i think its still abit hard to make a new account and thats holding back adoption. If you know nothing about crypto it would all be super confusing.
I think since Lynx made the desktop and mobile wallets it's a whole lot easier.
Well, the majority of tokens of tokens is still on exchanges, there you have one wallet for hundreds if not thousands of accounts. I found the number of active accounts impressive, it also gives a good comparison to whats the benchmark form BTC/ETH.
Thats a good point
