Introduction

I started compiling these lists in December 2020 to continue something @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 use Python with beem (by @holger80) in a script to generate what you see here. 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 @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. 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.

Previous editions

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.

Commentary

I am pleased to say the number of active Hivers in the UK has gone up a fair bit this month. I cannot say what is behind this, but perhaps people have decided to give it another go as the year starts. The $HIVE price is up a lot today and that may help matters. We can see a drop in activity when it goes down, but it depends on your long-term confidence in the platform. I am just wary as sudden rises can be followed by sudden drops as they tend to be driven by speculation rather than investment. Steady growth is more sustainable.

It looks like a few people levelled up to Dolphin this month.

One thing that can help is to talk to people you know about Hive, especially those who have stopped using it. Show them how much is going on with the various dapps and games. You can organise a meetup and invite people who might want to join. Just getting together in a pub can be productive. I have introduced several fellow musicians. The music challenges here give them a nice way into the community. Other interests such as photography and writing have their own fun challenges.

Please share your successes with recruitment and tag me in posts about this so I can add them to the list.

I keep running my queries against profiles to find more people. I have some I have yet to confirm as they do not give enough information to show they are really in the UK and have not responded to my queries. You do not have to say exactly where you are, but giving a rough area is useful.
