The Brit List: June 2023

avatar

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

A small increase this month. Some regions are up and others are down. We need to get more social events going on around the country to keep people motivated. The $HIVE price is not changing too much. If it shot up then we might see some people return, but some of us just keep accumulating it regardless. Anyone will a Hive account can be earning even if they are not posting. Just set up automatic votes on specific accounts or follow some trails to get curation rewards. You will get counted as active on this list.

I have been saying I will do a meetup around here and I will set a date soon. Now the weather is improving we can go for a walk somewhere and I plan to start it from a convenient point, plus we will end up at a pub.

I know people complain about Hive lacking marketing, but it is up to us to do something. We can be raising awareness by sharing posts on other social media. If we each recruit a couple more people then growth could take off. Having your friends on board makes it more fun.

In my queries I run to look to find Brits there are just a few turning up who do not respond to comments and lack real evidence they are in the UK. We do get accounts with fake locations. My script will miss some people who make their location less obvious, so let me know of any you find.

Let me know of anything you are doing to promote Hive and I will mention it.

It's great to see the list growint man, especially since it's doubled since Dec 2020, also, it would be interesting to see on bracets the numbers including duplicate accounts.

Also, yeah I don't understand why people become inactive when Hive is down, I think it's a great oppurtunity to accumulate some extra HP, along with being able to buy some more at the reduced cost.

I have a friend from Norwhich who I'm trying to get on here, he's looking to get himself a laptop, so fingers crossed. I'll send him your way when/ if he joins.

I try to count people rather than accounts. I have a few myself.

I think a lot of people join via a friend. They tend to need some hand-holding.

I was speaking with Shadows before during an interview and she spoke about the Welcome Wagon, I don't know of there is something like that these days, but I think there should be for new people. There is The Terminal Discord which helped me a lot when I joined, but maybe a community page on Hive itself just for hints and tips.

I know some people greet new users. I do my searches for new Brits and try to welcome them. Personally I think we should do more on Hive rather than on Discord.

Thanks for this @steevc . I am still looking to see hivers in Milton Keynes or closer so we could have a continual meetups. Looking up to any hints for meetups anywhere to join.

Yes, it reminds me that I need to gather some information to give to a lady next Tuesday.
I think she'd have some great stuff to contribute to the platform:)

FB is so crap these days. I just see stuff I don't follow. All I really need is the Jammers stuff as my family don't post much.

I myself don't understand today that as soon as the price goes down, people stop working altogether. They will have many coins collections. The way we have seen it became very popular in the bull market because then people were getting more money so they start working on it again. I should go along.
