Generate your own statistics from the blockchain right now.
You must have seen some generated statistics considering Steemit, right? Like "A more comprehensive look at current payout distribution" generated by @arhag .
Let me introduce steemreduce, which is making it easy to generate your own statistics. True, you need to know some programming since the logic has to be implemented in Golang, but it is worth it. It is fun.
Not to mention that a cool CLI progress bar is included, of course.
$ ./steemreduce -rpc_endpoint="ws://$(docker-machine ip default):8090"
---> Mapper: Spawning 3 threads ...
---> Fetcher: Fetching blocks in range [0, 1909012]
---> Reducer: Getting the initial value ...
---> Reducer: Starting to process incoming blocks ...
1909013 / 1909012 [============================================] 100.00% 51m21s
---> Fetcher: All blocks fetched and enqueued
---> Reducer: We are done, writing the output ...
