Oddbean new post about login | logout I don't think there is anything more reliable, _especially_ when it comes to active user charts, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.
but that’s the thing it’s not reliable bc it isn’t accurate.. and I’m sure nobody has tried to do active user charts bc of the unreliability of it.. remember how much we clowned the numbers we were given when primal tried to do it ?
I don't remember about primal. Some numbers are more reliable, some less, our stats are the best estimate I have seen.
what other estimates are there ? I’ve only seen yours and primals, I didn’t know there were more to be honest.
Also many numbers under npubs/events are probabilistic counters, they are never accurate, but reliably around the actual numbers. Overall stats are different and much more accurate.
idk much about overall stats the only two examples I’ve seen are yours and primals, is there any other place I can look ?
Why or why wouldn't the stats be accurate? Are there different ways to track npub activity and events?
Because of our broken code, or probabilistic counting, or decentralized nature of nostr where we can't be sure we have all the data
Does outbox help this at all. If not does anything. Will there ever be “good” data?
