Well, this is my first English posting and not sure who even reads this :) But I'm writing about this memorable finding (at least to me), and also curious if it's worth for me to write some post in english.

Who's real one millionth Steemit user?
While many people including @steemitblog (@steemitblog/1-000-000-steem-accounts) and @quo him/herself believe that @xmlvnx is the one millionth Steemit user, I found that there is a hidden very first "user" with id=0 (@miners, see https://steemd.com/@miners) as I expected.
The hidden very first "user"
I think @miners is not so well-known given that I was the second follower (# of followers of the real second "user", @null (id=1) is 1346 as of now). I made a screenshot and sent 0.001SBD for keeping this memory :) I found @miners using steemit python API (http://steem.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
Here are some accounts with special numbers.

users created on 1970-01-01
Surprisingly, up to id=3, i.e., 4th user, they were "created" on 1970-01-01 UTC midnight. As you may know, this is the beginning of unix time. This may be a bug or just intended, since they are for test or special purposes anyway. @admin (id=4) is the first account created on 2016-03-24.
Update: If you wanna consider users created on 1970-01-01 as non-users, the real millionth user is @houdio (with id=1,000,003). Thank @glory7 for pointing out this :)
Daniel Larimer 10th(11th), but Ned 497th?
I think Ned had other previous accounts, but I don't know the history. Please let me know if you know.
Here are some souvenirs :)
I mainly post in Korean about blockchain. Someday hopefully I'll post in english as well, especially blockchain cartoon. If you're interested, please see follows.
