The Top 5 Accounts that have Accumulated the most "Pending claimed accounts"
Hello Steemians! After HF20, if you have enough Resource Credits (RC), you will be able to claim accounts for free. There is no need to use the account immediately after claiming and it can be stored as "Pending claimed accounts".
So I have been thinking, if I want to create an application on the Steem platform, one of the things that I will do is to accumulate a good number of accounts so that I can build a sign-up process for new users. So in my opinion, the accounts with large number of accumulated "Pending claimed accounts" are probably planning for something big. They are likely collecting these accounts so that they can onboard large number of users in a very short span of time.
Being curious, I started searching on Google on any existing services that have ranked accounts with the most "Pending claimed accounts". Unfortunately, I am unable to find any of such service (do let me know if there is one). Without an existing service, I guessed I had to take things into my own hands. Thus, I wrote a script to find out for myself.
A Simple Script
The following script is written with Beempy and it is just a simple one which searches through all Steem accounts, check the "pending_claimed_accounts" attribute and keep track of the top 10 accounts.
stm = Steem()
blockchain = Blockchain()
topten = {'1': 0, '2': 0, '3': 0, '4': 0, '5': 0, '6': 0, '7': 0, '8': 0, '9': 0, '10': 0}
accts = blockchain.get_all_accounts()
for acct in accts:
account = Account(acct, steem_instance=stm)
print(acct + "," + str(account["pending_claimed_accounts"]))
if account["pending_claimed_accounts"] > topten.get(min(topten, key=topten.get)):
topten.pop(min(topten, key=topten.get))
topten.update({acct:account["pending_claimed_accounts"]})
print(topten)
And after running the script against more than a million accounts (which took me days), I found the top 5 😎. Without further ado, here are the top 5 at the point of writing this article...

The Top 5
First Place: @smartsteem with 9010 "Pending Claimed Accounts"
Second Place: @steem with 8405 "Pending Claimed Accounts"
Third Place: @appreciator with 7218 "Pending Claimed Accounts"
Fourth Place: @postpromoter with 5494 "Pending Claimed Accounts"
Fifth Place: @buildawhale with 5028 "Pending Claimed Accounts"
It is going to be interesting how these accounts will be using all these "Pending claimed accounts". I hope they have big plans in mind. Did any of them surprised you? How do you think they will use these accounts? Thanks for reading!
Projects/Services I am working on:
You can find me in these communities:
We used to pay some steem for creation ok steem accounts, eg anonsteem. So these thousands of claimed accounts are probably worth a lot.
They are worth a lot for all of us not just the people that claimed them. Because now we can give instant Registrations(almost?) Just like Facebook/Insta/twitter. So we are a step closer to Mainstream. It enables to have momentum for the next Influx of new users. At least that's my opinion.
Indeed. I see them as a step towards mass adoption. Now it is accumulation phase. Previous sign-up process was too difficult and took too long. These accumulated accounts can be used to instantly create new accounts and onboard new users.

Interesting. What is this about claiming accounts... are these abandoned accounts?
Also, how do we check are resource credits... or accumulate these?

After the recent Hard Fork 20, any account with sufficient Resource Credits will be able to claim accounts for free. You can check this guide for more info.
If you are interested to see how much resource credits you have, just head over to Steemd.com. For example, here is your current resource credits information:
Scroll further down and you will be able to see the "pending claimed accounts" attribute. Below is the current numbers for @smartsteem
I have zero, zilch ! (-: But anyways, what are claimed accounts?? ty
Claimed accounts can be used to create new accounts. Having large amount of claimed accounts means that you can later on onboard many new users to Steem. It is important if you are planning to build an app running on Steem :)

oh, sounds pretty sophiscated ...i'm glad there's a metric thinking ahead to that / peace
