Introduction

I started compiling these lists in December 2020 to continue something Hive account@pennsif used to do as I think it helps bring the community together. Since then I have found lots more people to include. @HiveSQL has been really useful for this. I was using beem to generate this post, but that is not in active development and I found HiveSQL could do it much quicker. I use Python for most things. Some of the post is manual as I like to include some commentary and I will keep tweaking it. I am open to suggestions for improvements. I aim to do a fresh list on the first Saturday of each month.

I also rely on the community to let me know of more people to include who may not have obvious account metadata. You can find me in the Hive account@teamuksupport Discord to discuss it or drop me a comment.

Those based in the UK can use the #teamuk tag for an extra vote. If you see people using it on non-relevant posts then drop them a friendly comment to point out that is not encouraged.

The list will include anyone living in the UK as well as Brits who have moved abroad. Inclusion on this list does not mean I recommend people, but I will remove accounts if they are known to be abusing Hive or are falsely reporting their location. I can also remove anyone who asks me to. If you have lost control of your account through phishing or other means then let me know so that I can update your entry.

The code to produce this post is on Github. People are welcome to use it for their own regional version. I can help you with that if necessary.

What it means

The numbers above are for those who had posted or commented in the previous month. In the lists below I break each region into three lists:

• Active as above.
• Just voting. I will guess that a lot of these use automatic votes, e.g. HiveVote. Previously there were some that appear to have been compromised as they vote for known abusers. Those are now excluded until I hear that they have recovered control.
• Inactive in the last month, but most have done something since Hive started. We can hope to bring them back.

I want to count people rather than accounts as some have several. I can include those in brackets if you want. Let me know if you want me to update your listing. You can be as specific as you like about your location. Otherwise I will use what is on your profile or what I am told or can deduce from your posts.

Commentary

Firstly, sorry this is a day late, but yesterday was really busy. I am pleased to report a small improvement in numbers this time. It looks like more people are posting lately. That is a good sign as I know a lot of voting is automated and I like to see people interacting with Hive themselves. It is a social platform after all.

I had some issues with the post last month as I managed to paste some parts in twice, but editing it means that everyone gets another notification, so I am being more careful this time.

Looking back over the year the $HIVE price has not really changed. It briefly peaked around 50c and got as low as 26c. It is dropping in the crypto rankings though, so we could hope for better. We know it has a lot going for it and need to get the message out. There are so many ways to earn on this platform and many are fairly low risk. Just having some $HBD savings gives you a much better return than any bank. I assume there is some $HIVE available on the markets, but there have been some issues with exchanges that can make it harder to convert your £s.

We do have less active people than at the start of the year and I have only added a few people to my file of known users. I think we need a recruitment drive next year. That would be helped by having more meetups. If you know people who are already into crypto then talk to them about Hive. It is a natural place to talk about that topic.

I wish you all a happy winterval season, however you celebrate it.
