Nice plots. Great to see more decentralization in terms of recovery accounts. I think this is representative overall of the less decentralized nature of Hive. There is no single entity like STINC that most accounts depend on in some way.

.

The high numbers for @guiltyparties are because my Hive Blue account creation process generates accounts from @spaminator's claimed cache but then, for the ease of future processing of any recoveries, changes the trustee to @guiltyparties. It's a C that tripped up the A -> B correlation.

To get accurate values for me do: exclude if created by @spaminator

.

Great job! I was wondering how many users decided to change its recovery account after my post and now I know :)

Likely the same accounts that changed their recovery account on Hive. What do you think?

I bet it's the case. People still trying to use both chains so they probably changed recovery account on either Hive and Steem.

I know I changed mine.

If anything, definitely on HIVE because there isn’t anyone gonna operate the @steem account for the people.

.

Could the Steem account actually go and request recovery for all the accounts on file? So just hypothetically? That would already cause quite a mess?

No it's not possible (unless if they have a private owner key or password used in the last 30 days of the account being recovered).

Ah well, that makes sense. Thanks for the answer.
