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 sad to say that numbers are down again this month. The low $HIVE price will not be helping, but if you are playing the long game and have confidence in Hive then you ought to keep on accumulating rewards that could be worth a lot more in future. I never say that people have to invest their money in it as that is up to them and you should only invest what you can afford to potentially lose, not that I think Hive will go to nothing any time. I bought some myself to power up this month.

There is plenty going on with Hive with new projects appearing all the time. Not everyone is a blogger, but you can play the games or take advantage of the many tokens to earn. I would recommend at least voting to earn from curation. If your HP is low then you should mostly vote on posts as comments may not hit the payout threshold. Engaging via comments can be fun and will get you noticed. I always suggest that people find others who share their interests and use Hive as you would other social media rather than just hunting for rewards. Even if you make little it can still be fun.

What are your hopes for Hive in 2023? How will you make them happen?

Meetups

The December meetup in London was great fun with about nine of us there to chat. For some it was their first opportunity to meet other Hivers, but I had met a few of them before. I am looking to organise something up my way when the weather is conducive to outdoor events. A meetup does not have to be anything fancy. Just name a venue and a date to see what happens. You can see from the list who is local, so please make use of that. I will publicise events I hear about.
