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:

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.
