Hello, fellow Blurtians!
Blurt, a blockchain platform born from the Steemit.com ecosystem, often remains a hidden gem for many users from Steemit and Hive. In addition to a communication and marketing problem, it's also partly due to access to the data used as a benchmark is not easily available, as another post I read 2 days ago shows. This time it's @offgridlife's post How many Blurt Blogs are there ? Over 1.24 Million
Note: This post was started over 2 weeks ago with the intention of further development, but due to time constraints, I've decided to share it in its current form hahaha. Some of the questions raised here were also addressed in @justyy's recent post How many accounts on STEEM blockchain? and its discussion with @offgridlife in the comments of this post.
So I put on my best Blurt developer shirt, my Blurt blockchain witness tie and my analyst lab coat to dive deep, right into the heart of my database parsing Blurt blockchain blocks in real time for answers.
So the questions of the day are:
- How many Blurt blogs
- How many Blurt Blog posts
- How many Active Blurt bloggers
...
Today, I’m excited to share some fascinating data that sheds light on our vibrant ecosystem.

thanks as always for sharing this valuable information, one question related to the communities; how many users might be actively posting in the communities? how many posts are made in the communities vs. not in the communities? Regards
Thank you very much. This is very useful Information. I know that when I mention Blurt.blog on Steemit people are very surprised to learn that they have a Blurt.blog already set up … including lots of $$$$ via the Fork from Steemit in 2020…. They are very happy about this and start blogging on both Blurt and Steemit. Earning $$$$ on both Platforms.
Thank you so much for sharing this data with us.
Btw, I've always wondered if we can upvote posts that are older than 7 days? Will the author and the person who upvote still get the reward?
You can upvote posts that are more than 7 days old, but neither the author nor the curator will receive any rewards, this just uses your voting power. It's the same on Hive and Steem.
Thank you for your explanation.
Just a correction there. Voting on a paid out post doesn't use any voting power, but it does incur a transaction fee.
That is a staggering number of accounts 1,396,169 wouldn't it be nice if they were active bloggers would certainly make a huge different to the platform.
