Damn that is mega bearish. Haha I was thinking somewhere in between 10k - 100k ish.

Why do you think that?
There’s over 8 million Nostr profiles with lightning addresses. There’s been over 4 million zaps. We’ve had a few huge bumps of new users that came to nostr and a lot of those people were new to bitcoin. I spent a lot of time monitoring zap event data. That’s just a few reasons.
I'd love to see some more data on that.
1. 8 million distinct ln addresses? If not, it would be fun to see a graph over the account clusters using the same ln address.
2. How many of those nostr profiles has been active more than e.g. a couple of days, weeks, months?
3. How many could be considered bots?
1. I highly doubt it’s unique addresses. I got the number from nostr.band.
2. Probably a small fraction have been active for more than a few days, but that’s long enough to receive their first zap.
3. A lot.
Where's this data?
https://stats.nostr.band and i feel the data in my bones 😂
I’m sure nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg has a lot of data too because of their caching server. They post some stats on their explore page. Would be awesome if they posted more.
