Whaleshares is still a fairly new idea here on Steemit. It is quite simple to use and understand and I hope I can help...

What is Whaleshares?

Whaleshares is a token offered on OpenLedger that can be used in order to get a vote from a whale on Steemit. How a  person uses Whaleshares is up to you but there are two main ideas that I wish to share...

• Use one share at a time.

This is done so that you can get the maximum benefit from your whaleshares. Using more than one may lead to a smaller reward from the vote. (Per share value)

• Use as many shares as you can.

This is done when you are more interested in visibility than the actual reward. Using multiple shares will increase the vote weight that is granted.

Using Whaleshares

• Find the post that you want upvoted.
• Log into OpenLedger
• Once logged in, navigate to the send page

• In the to field, add 'whaleshares' as the recipient.
• Enter the amount you wish to use and remember to select WHALESHARES as the currency.
• Next, you will need the memo. This can be gotten here:

http://www.whaleshares.net/#

1. Input the post URL in Step 2.
2. Select your vote type (up/down)
3. Copy the Memo from the bottom of the page

• Once you have the memo, paste it in the Memo field on OpenLedger and send.

That is it! After that you should receive a vote on the post. Each WHALESHARE is equal to 1% worth of vote power.

As a small incentive, I have 5 Whaleshares to use. I will pick 5 random people from the comments and they will each receive a vote worth 1 share...
