Who publishes
The client tag is optional and most listings omit it,
so this undercounts every app. It still shows the shape: no single client owns the
seller base.
The shape of the seller base

There is no expiry in NIP-99: a listing with no status tag counts as active
forever. Only
1,006 of the 20,352 coordinates counted below are ever marked
withdrawn
— 4.9% across three years, which no real marketplace sustains. That is
why the 90-day figures matter more than the totals.
What is counted
A seller revises a listing in place rather than republishing it, so each one is counted
once, at its latest revision, under its (pubkey, d-tag) coordinate —
20,352 of them. From those, six groups that are not someone selling
something are removed, and a product published with one listing per size or colour counts
once. What is left, 10,455 listings, is the pool behind every chart on this
page.
