We've had around 2.8k signups so far (launched in October). We have about 200 users active per day. I just checked and 89 of them have been active in all previous 5 days. We have a few outspoken believers in the concept (< 10). We just solicited feedback from our base and got only 20 responses, so probably could do better there.

Got it - is it growing? How quickly?

Just generated this graph:

We had 38 signups yesterday, grew ~44% in the last 30 days.

EDIT, mathfail: grew 79% in the last 30 days.

Cool. Is your transaction volume growing at the same rate?

Here's a graph of the transaction volume:

The big spike in the beginning was before we implemented fraud checks (eg, users directing botnets at the shortlinks).

Since then, the transaction volume has been growing at a similar rate, at 70% growth in the past 30 days (compared to 79% user growth).
