Is there a graph of the bitsharestalk.org member count ?

As you are not interested in unique users you could also just poll the members page once a day and read the number of total members there.

This is the node/coffescript i was using to pull data from the forum and create a csv. You need to disable cookies in browser to get an up to date session id you can use. If you want to do it regularly you probably should change the url to sort by date of registration and always just poll the last page or something like that.

Code Select Expand


async = require "async"
cheerio = require "cheerio"

parsePage = (url, target) ->
  setImmediate ->
    request = require("https").get url, (response) ->
      filedata = ""
      response.on "data", (chunk) ->
        filedata += chunk
      response.on "end", ->
        target (cheerio.load filedata)


url = "https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=b330a0f58442be2a1e469f4436e&action=mlist;sort=real_name;start="

dates = []
async.timesSeries 195, (id, cb) ->
  parsePage url+(id*30), ($) ->
    $("tr td:nth-child(7)").each (i, v) ->
      dates.push new Date($(v).text()) / 1000
    cb()
, ->
  max = 0
  dates.forEach (date) ->
     max = i if i > max
  regByDay = {}
  days = dates.map (i) ->
    Math.floor (max-i)/84600
  days.forEach (day) ->
    regByDay[day] = 0 unless regByDay[day]
    regByDay[day]++
  list = ""
  for k of regByDay
    list += k + ";" + regByDay[k] + "\n"
  console.log list

That clear bit of acceleration at the end looks very exciting  :D

Is there some url that regenerates a more up-to-date graph? I would like to keep tabs on this.

 +5%  Awesome! This community rocks.

+5

Left one is registrations per day right one is cumulative.
289 is today 1 is day of first registration.

It would be really interesting to correlate the recent price rise to the forum membership.
