I can scan. Where are new accounts recorded?

Here's the thing.  CfB may correct me, but I suspect that all Nxt accounts already "exist", in that the network has to treat ANY public key as a valid account.  The account only appears in the blockchain once a deposit is made to a given account number.

There's a zen koan in here somewhere... if a tree falls in the forest....

UPDATE:  If you look at the web page for the Blockchain Explorer, you can see that there is an "accounts" field on the "Node" line near the top of the window.  My gut says this field implies there are 1,499 accounts represented in the blockchain right now.

All of those accounts have non-zero balances too.

Ok, I get it! Thanks.
