# 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](https://github.com/holgern/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](https://discord.gg/ZQK6BFt) to discuss it or drop me a comment.

The #teamuk tag has been used to show you are in the UK and was earning extra votes from a bot, but that has not been active lately. Using the tag may still help me to find you, but please contact me if you think you should be on the list.

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. There is the option to be counted without being tagged on these posts if you want that.

The code to produce this post is [on Github](https://github.com/steevc/hivescripts). 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](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 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.

# Commentary

The numbers are up and down in various regions, but the total is pretty much unchanged from last month despite me adding a few to the file. We did gain some minnows and dolphins.

We have seen a drop in active people over this year and the low price will still be a factor. We need to recruit friends and build local hubs of Hive activity. I can dream that we could have something like the group in Krakow. I think we have to aim for those already interested in cryptocurrency to start with. Hive is a natural place to discuss it.

These are some people who my script found, but I have not confirmed their location. I like to see some evidence that they are actually in the UK as some will put false information in their profile, but there is an element of trust and I am not out to judge anyone. It is interesting that the various Hive dapps are not consistent in how they store location, so some of these may be visible in Ecency, but not peakd. I am giving them a chance to say whether they should be on the list.
