# 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](https://github.com/holgern/beem) (by @holger80) in [a script](https://peakd.com/hive-169321/@steevc/automating-checking-for-active-users-with-python) 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](https://discord.gg/ZQK6BFt) 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]([Github](https://github.com/steevc/hivescripts)). People are welcome to use it for their own regional version.

# 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](https://hive.vote/). 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

The number of active Brits on Hive has dropped again. I did find a few more people to include, but  I have a few where I am not certain if there really are in the UK. Some may set their profile location to say they are, but there may be no real evidence for it. I do take it partly on trust, but I want this list to be fairly accurate.

Fluctuations in the $HIVE price can affect activity, but if you think it has a future then it is worth posting or voting to build your stake that could be worth much more later on.

I had a play around at listing users in [Ukraine](https://peakd.com/hive/@steevc/listing-ukrainians) and [Germany](https://peakd.com/hive/@steevc/listing-the-german-hivers) as well as figuring out where [people are distributed](https://peakd.com/hive/@steevc/here-in-the-world-are-the-hivers) more generally. @demotruk has produced some more [detailed numbers](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@demotruk/locations-of-users-active-in-last-month).

I would love to see people doing more posts like this as it can help in organising events. My scripts are there for anyone else to use.

# Meetups

I do not know of any UK events, but @hivefest is happening in Amsterdam in September. That is not too far for most of us to travel. I know of a few Brits who are going and my hotel is booked.

# Charts
This shows the numbers in each category of the active and voting accounts. Level is based on 'VESTS'. 
Minnow equates to a million VESTS, which is about 550HP and each level is 10x the previous.
