Introduction

You may have seen that I have been compiling the #BritList for nearly four years. I maintain a file of any Brits I find on Hive and then run a script that checks which of them are currently active. I have made the code available. I had been encouraging others to make their own lists, but so far only @michelmake has done this for the Netherlands.

I had some @hivesql queries to find people in various countries so I am adapting my scripts to use those. The first will be Ghana as it has enough users to be interesting, whilst still being manageable. There has to be some manual editing of the user list to group people by area and optionally set their location.

People seem to specify a few cities and regions on their profiles, so I have used those. I do not know much about the country, so please let me know if I get anything wrong. I have not checked all the profiles, so there may be cases where someone owns more than one. It is better to count people than accounts, so the list can handle that. I will leave it to the Ghanaian community to maintain the list. The scripts are fairly easy to use, but I can generate these posts if others maintain the lists of users.

I have added those people I found with a relevant location who have been active in the last year. There may be others who I did not find. I know of at least two who live in the UK, so I have put then under 'expats'.

I will look at doing some other countries soon.

People are listed as active if they have posted, commented or voted in the last month.

Commentary

I have met @mcsamm a few times and seen his posts about what has been going on in Ghana. The building of wells has done a lot to make Hive known and they have held some conferences. It looks like a few people joined recently. I suspect there are a lot more accounts, but I have not found them all.

The two dolphins are living in the UK. I expect that others may need to cash out some of their rewards to supplement their income. That is a case of Hive doing good for those who may struggle to get by.

Ghana has a population of over 34 million, so there is plenty of scope for growth.

I have not found any witnesses in Ghana yet. The script will detect them.
