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 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 @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.

Other Countries

I have produced similar lists for the following countries. Active numbers are from the last time I ran them. These have used simpler queries than what I use for the UK, so they are likely to miss people. What it needs is for local communities to take up this work. The data and scripts are all on my Github for anyone to make use of. I can do other lists on demand.

• Australia. 66 active.
• Ghana. 28 active.
• Germany. 103 active.
• Indonesia. 154 active.
• Ireland. 23 active (2022).
• Netherlands by @michelmake. 44 active.
• Nigeria. 507 active.
• Portugal. 25 active.
• Romania. 10 active.
• Scandinavia. 31 active.
• South Africa. 31 active.
• Spain. 52 active.
• Turkey. 12 active.

Commentary

Not much change again this month. I found a few more accounts, but others have not posted recently. The current low price will not help matters as people will feel it is not worth their time, but it can depend on what future you expect for Hive. Some of us will keep stacking HP. Even if you automate your votes you can be earning passively.

I have had a good response to my lists for other countries, but nobody is offering to take on maintaining them apart from the Netherlands. I will not have time to re-run them monthly like I do for this one. I think it is better for local communities to do that anyway. Venezuela would be a lot of work and so would the USA, so I have yet to attempt those.

I would hope to see a few Brits at @hivefest. Having been to several previous events I can recommend the experience.
