Why I Prefer Whaleshares To Randowhale!! My Opinions
Hello Steemians,
Greetings,
Now, Before going further, please consider that these are only my personal thoughts and I do not tend to criticize any of these projects.
First Things First
Okay, if you don't know what whaleshares and randowhale are, then let me introduce them in brief.
Whaleshares
It's a token backed by steempower to give users the ability to get a whale upvote in their desired post. Now these tokens are in bitshares so you should have a bitshare wallet. To get an upvote from the whale using whaleshares, you must follow these simple steps :
- go to http://whaleshares.net/
- paste the url of the post you want upvote
(that will automatically generate a code for you) - then go to your bitshare wallet and send the whaleshares token to the whale whom you want upvote from
(note: in the memo field paste the code that was generated from that website.)

Randowhale
Let's keep it simple, there's a account name @randowhale which will upvote your post if you send some amount of steem/sbd to that account.
There are following things that you should note :
- you must send some amount of steem/sbd to @randowhale to get upvote
- the amount of steem/sbd you will send will be fixed, as of now it's 2 steem/sbd but that will change with time
- while sending steem or sbd, you should link/write the url of the post you want upvote in the memo field
- you should send the exact amount of steem/sbd, otherwise you won't get upvote and also refund
- you will recieve an upvote ranging from 1 to 100% randomly, you might recieve 6% upvote or 47% or 92%
(terms and condition are subject to change anytime, for instance, the amount 2 steem/sbd is going to doubled today and the voting % will be 1 to 50% )

So, Why I prefer Whaleshares To Randowhale?
Please keep in mind that these are just my personal thoughts and I do tend to criticize any of the project.
Whaleshares is a token on bitshares and is a design of @officialfuzzy. It's a first meta token that is bully backed by steempower. It is design to end the rule of upvote bot and maintain more human interactions. Randowhale, on the other hand, is neither a token nor it mainains human interactions. It's a script that can be implemented on any account. Thus, it's more like a bot.
I've extracted these contrasting points to help you understand :
as a struggling user wanting to get more visibility and go on trending tab
As a minnow, everyone would want a whale upvote for couple of reasons for say to get more visibility, or to get a chance to be on a trending tab, or even to earn more, or some other thousands of reasons :). In this case, when you use a whaleshares token then you guarantee the amount of upvote thereby rewards you will get in return. On the other hand, when you use randowhale then you do not gurantee the amount of upvote and thereby rewards. All you're doing is trying your luck :P Would you tell me how will you feel when you send 4 steem and get 4% upvote in return?? :P
As a user, you might want to use these for other usages too. Using whaleshares you have the opportunity to trade your tokens just like other cryptos. Now, this is not yet on the go, but will soon. Anyway, who can stop anything from trading, you can even trade it on your own with the means of trust, you give your friends some tokens and the your friend will give you some money on return. Yep! anything possible :) . On the side, there are no tokens or anything while using randowhale.
as a community wanting more human interactions
The purpose of whaleshares is to build a better community where there's more human interactions and less bots. It is based on trust of a community and Beyond Bitcoin, which empowers the evolution of community. But, the purpose of randowhale is not to build community. It doesn't promotes human interactions and also it plays no role in ending the supremacy of upvote bots.
Whaleshares is a great initiative and it provides incentive to provide more functionality to a blockchain. These tokens can have value in them just like other cryptos. While, randowhale is nothing but some script implemented to a account. It do not view things in terms of blockchain and value. It can be regarded as a play service like steem dice. And also, you can always lose your money, this is very possible. Some might also regard it as a self profiting service that will gain a person some sbd on every upvote. Think of it as, , , if I were to be a whale I could also implement that service then I would receive every 2 sbd/steem on each of my my upvotes. Let's keep curation rewards aside, I will be getting 2 sbd/steem on my every upvote whether it's 1% or 100%. If many people use this service then it's just.... ah, I won't say anything, you people are clever enough to understand ;)
please consider that I am not criticizing any of these projects, and I do not tend to hurt anyone.
both of these services can be suitable for you depending on your opinion, for me whaleshares is way better
