❓Answering Common Questions: What is Whaleshares? 💵
Have you ever Wished you could add More to a Post's Payout than your Vote Gives?
I've heard it come up so many times over the last year, how cool it would be to be able to add more than what your vote is worth to a posts payout. Sure, you would always directly donate some Steem/Steem Dollars by sending to their wallet, or maybe even promote their post...but those don't have the same effect of getting a post up towards the trending pages (where many of us secretly long to be.)
This has been the best options for us...UNTIL NOW!!!
Let me Introduce you to #Whaleshares!!
Q: What is Whaleshares?
Whaleshares is a project created the long time host of the Beyond Bitcoin hangouts, @officialfuzzy. The idea is that you are provided with a token that when used, gets you an upvote from a whale on a Steemit or Golos post of your choice.
Q: What do I need? How exactly does it work?
With Whaleshares being on the Bitshares exchange you will need to have an account on openledger.io or download the Bitshares Wallet Here. Once you have a Whaleshare in your wallet, all you'll need to do it fill out the form on:
You'll simply select if you want an upvote or downvote, provide a link for which post, open your Bitshares wallet, and send the Whaleshares to the memo you're provided with.
Then BOOM!! Whale vote for you!!
Each Whaleshare will get you 1% of a whale upvote on the designated post. So YOU can choose how much it's post payout goes up!
Q: How can I get some?
Even though #Whaleshares aren't for sale on Open Ledger just yet, you CAN still WIN them through different ways right now. Some of these include:
- Simply hanging out on the #Whaleshares discord channel: https://discord.gg/5gWeHR
- Joining the Beyond Bitcoin hangouts on Friday mornings
- Taking part in a Whaleshares logo contest
- Receive a FREE drop of Whaleshares into your Bitshares wallet...just for having one
- Take part in the Whaleshares MEME contest
- Join the Whaleshares Writing Contest
- with MANY more opportunities to be announced!
Q: Can I buy some? How much does it cost?
Whaleshares aren't for sale just yet...but soooon! So it might be worth taking a look at winning/earning some of these redeemable whale votes.
Q: Where can I get some more information on Whaleshares?
Here are a few posts on Whaleshares:

A Convenient Way To Get A Whale Upvote - Whaleshares
There is a lot more available out there by looking in the #Whaleshares tag or hoping into their Discord Channel.
I've been a huge fan of @fuzzy and his constant work to help foster along well intended projects and people! While I'm sure there will be things to be tweaked along the way (like anything else in life,) I truly can't wait to see what this is able to do for our communities here on Steemit and Golos.

Awesome job on giving info about whaleshares!
I noticed a typo. I think it should be "Whaleshares are not for sale yet"
:)
Thank you!
Ahh, yes. I did mean aren't for sale. I was up writing a bit late. Lol. Ty! I've got it edited correctly now.
Just tryna help :)
Have a nice day!
Very much appreciated! Thank you!
You have a great one too :)
On that note, I also noticed you referenced [at]fuzzy toward the end. I'm pretty sure that account is abandoned and you meant @officialfuzzy 😉
Can a dolphin take part in this or is it mainly for newbies and people with very low vote power? Thanks
As far as I know, it's open for anybody and everybody. :)
Much love for Whaleshares !
:)
was a good run on this one :)
Whaaa? You make it sound like Whaleshares is ending or something...
I'm obviously missing something simple.
How do I find that information?
That's a good question. The account "whaleshares" without the quotes is the only one right now. There will be more options in the future (of where to send it to) and will be reflected on the whaleshares.net website. :)
Great info. I am new to Steemit. It's great to have helpful how to posts. Thanks.
Thank you! I'm very happy to help out. :) I've made a bunch of guides/faqs with this kinda of format if you've not seen them.
Can also always ask any questions that come to mind. :)
I will be following for all the newbie posts! I saw a few posts there that contain questions I've asked myself! Thankyou for sharing this :)
Thank you!!
I remember what it was like to be brand new on here. These were all questions I had asked too. Hehe
I'm sure you'll catch on quick and just keep ramping up from there.
Always feel free to ask questions. :)
Another great addition to your "Answering Common Questions" series. Thank you for the information and education.
Thank you! I enjoy these things...and I think they're easier to digest than a fully written guide (which I've also done before.)
Feel free to ask questions anything should they come to mind. :)
wow! thank you so much :)
so nice of you that you include my post too, I could have never imagined my post being referred on your post :)
Very happy to! It was a good one :)
Thanks for helping us minnows with services that you guys are spreading about as well as for making one. I'm interested and would like to have some by joining those contests.
You're welcome!
I had to drop a meme of my own in there just because..well it's memes! Lol
I do hope you take part...even if you don't win, you get exposed to some great people and ideally have a good time doing it. :)
I was hoping to join at the writing contest but then I thought that it's already too late since the winner is chosen using the number of upvotes. That's why I'll give the meme contest a trial. Also to have fun with my fellow enthusiasts of whaleshares. :)
I'm going to look into this! Thanks
Woots! I hope it's a great time for you!
