[Steemgig Contest]Everything You Need To Know About Whaleshares
As Whaleshares contains word Whale so let me explain that to you first.
Who are Whales?
Whales are Steemit users with high steem power, their one full vote can give you huge rewards and reputation boost.
Getting whale votes is not an easy task, sure if you are established author then they might vote even without reading your post.
But, for the minnows like me, it's whole different story.
Someone great once said that :
where there is a will there is a way and then there is a vehicle to reach destination faster.
You can count Whaleshares as that vehicle.
What are Whaleshares?
It's basically tool by using that you can summon Whales to vote on your Steemit or Golos post.
Currently, Whaleshare provides two tokens :
Whaleshare - To summon @officialfuzzy
Beyondbit - To summon @fuzzyvest
How to get Whaleshares?
There are two ways to get Whaleshares:
1.Buy them from Decentralized Exchange (DeX) Openledger :
Make an account on Openledger.
You will see two types :
Account model[Recommended] : Just enter Username and Password whenever you need to login.
Wallet model : You need to login via backup file which contains encrypted private keys, and of course the password.
Once registered you will need some Bitshares to buy Whaleshares token.
Buying Bitshares(BTS)
Go to BlockTrades.us
Chose your preferred trading pair, here in example I have used SBD - BTS.
Fill in the details, in receiving address input your Openledger address and click on "Get Deposit Address".
Now, you will get deposit address, transfer funds to that.
In few seconds you will receive bitshares in your Openledger account.
Exchanging Bitshares to Whaleshare
Go to BTS to Whaleshare market.
Fill the Buy Whaleshare form, click buy, confirm order and done.
Exchanging Bitshares to Beyondbit
Go to BTS to BEYONDBIT market.
Fill the Buy Beyondbit form, click buy, confirm order and done.
2.Second way and my preferred one is to get Whaleshares is by participating in contests.
For this you can join Whaleshares discord group and check contests sub group.
How to use Whaleshares
1.First of all, copy the post address of Steemit or Golos post on which you want Whale vote.
2.Now, go to http://whaleshares.net
3.Fill in the details.
You can choose to upvote or downvote, full upvote costs 100 tokens and downvote costs 300 tokens.
In second input box, paste the copied link we did in first step, the green badge saying "Found Post" means you are good to go.
Now, select the Whales—Remember Beyondbit token will summon fuzzyvest and Whaleshare will summon officialfuzzy, give attention to their voting power—go to http://steemnow.com to know upvote worth. If you think it's really worth it to get vote from them at current voting power then copy the generated link.
Here is an example, how end result will look like, except voted already part.
4.Now, head to the openledger.io.
Go to "Send" tab and fill in details.
To : whaleshares
Amount : Enter desired amount (1 Whaleshare/Beyondbit equals to 1% whale upvote)
Memo : Insert the copied link, we did in third step.
End result would look like this :
Click"Send", confirm transaction and done.
You will instantly get Whale vote vote on your post.
Tips on using Whaleshares
1.Use whaleshares instantly after post publish. Doing so will help you in two ways:
You will have a chance to go to HOT tab.
Curation rewards will not be taken by whales.
However, you will still suffer from the "Reward Pool effect" so you might want to use Whaleshares on the 5-6 day after post publish.
2.Use Bitshares to pay fees, if you pay with Whaleshare/Beyondbit it will cost you ~1$ while paying with BTS will cost you mere cents.
3.You can use Beyondbit and Whaleshare token on 1 post simultaneously since it summons two different whales.
If you are interested in exchanging Whaleshare to Beyondbit or vice-versa then you can do so using given link.
