That would not work for all statistics like total users, but more importantly, have these relays saved all the old replaceable events?
yes, but a tooltip on the legend is not possible on the charting library I am using. But a tooltip on the point and line is doable!
This removes bots and users who where never active I believe. Other sources like nostr.band and primal seem highly inflated.
Basically, I don't consider users that haven't be added to my database. My program runs 24/7/365 listening to events. The moment you are followed by someone that is highly reputable and, you get added to the database. So, from the 43M pubkeys reported in nostr.band, I only consider the 380k (supposedly real) ones.
The social graph is based on the Pagerank algorithm and the goodnpubs left are those who pass a minimum threshold rank

Cool, looking forward to giving it a full demo. One question so far…how are you obtaining follow counts, and what accounts for the major discrepancy between npub.world and nostr.band?
Thanks, that makes sense. I always just assumed half of my followers were long gone. I built an app to remove the dead npubs that I’m following, but there’s nothing I can do about the count my clients display.
Love it! Consider making it less "in your face" on the landing page. I enjoyed the clean search interface and use it a lot.
One other recommendation. This graph is less useful, just due to the magnitude of difference between total and active users. Could they be broken out into seperate graphs? image
can you add an indicator to user's npub. world profile to indicate whether they are considered a real user? this account is tiny but im 100% a real user and i'd like to know whether i'm recognized as such
There is no clear cut answer to whether someone is "real", of "fake". The whole concept of npub.world is that the user decides it, with the information presented in the page. Take this example. image There are two odells, with the one in the middle being the clear impostor, that btw fooled many other (cc @ChipTuner @HolySats @royster⚑️ ) probably because they use clients that make the two profiles indistinguishible. If I had a metric that says if someone is real or fake based on followers, if you would be real, then the fake odell would be real as well, and vice versa. The information presented should be used in relative terms, meaning between the two odells, one is clearly fake.
Understandable. its a hard problem, but there must be a better solution than having someone "reputable" follow you. i havent put the time in to understanding pagerank yet but it smells of centralization, if you must be followed by someone of a sufficient reputation to be considered reputable yourself
Yeah this happens a lot. You're exactly right, primitive clients (like the one I use) don't even show follower count or "trusted connections" 2 things would be, I either added it to my list a few years ago, and/or followed based on someone else repost. The other issue is this usually when resolving @ mentions, actually selecting the right npub. I don't remember many public keys, just the ones I have to juggle regularly. " off to see how many odells I follow XD
Yes ofc it is centralised. The other solutions are PoW, which means you go back and try with your smartphone to outcompete servers, or payments, which they work but, you know, you have to pay for everything, ever for using a relay
Thanks for the feedback. It's very hard to make charts be great on mobiles, and frankly I am not interested in doing so. If one wants to do some analysis, then he can use a bigger screen.
...it is down multiple times... only means you are still following messed up paradigms. when will you all #NamedDataNetworking #NDN be the network be the data be equal amongst equals stop connecting to servers and domain names start connecting to data instead. #when ?
