I can say that ~10.000 workers mined DarkNote last month on average.

We expect 2000-3000 active miners and more that 10000 persons who have some XDN. That is an approximate value.

Do you mind me asking how you figured that out? Are you taking the hashrate and using the 2000-3000 miner number to represent the average hashrate per user of the network? That's what I'd do, divide the hashrate by the average hashrate obtainable by a standard computer owner I guess. What do you think?

Maybe he means that he has a botnet of 1990 computers, so there's gotta be at least 10 other people mining? Tongue 

I kind of doubt the 10k persons number. I wrote a python script yesterday to parse how many posters there were on a bitcointalk thread, and on the duckNote thread there was a total of 287 different people who posted, and less than 150 people who posted more than one message. That would indicate almost a 100:1 lurker to poster ratio, which seems kinda high. I would be interested also in how the 10k persons number was arrived at. I will post some data tomorrow or the next day comparing btctalk activity amongst the different cryptonotes (along with the source code for anyone interested).

Thank you! very useful stats, would be nice to see it. Lots of people who mine DarkNote do not know about btctalk, or just do not post here.
