If you still don't know what WhaleShares is, it is a project from @OfficialFuzzy. WhaleShares is a token and these tokens have value and usage. Their ability is to be converted to a vote from a whale on post you can choose by yourself. 1 token is 1% of a whale vote. It could help minnows massively. No more of being depressed after you spent days on your amazing post, you put it on promotion tab and it still has been seen just by two people. Later, it will be possible to also be able to resteem your posts with WhaleShares - this could be great way how to promote your content!
People thinks that only way how to get some WhaleShares right now is to join the contests.
But if you are not good in:

Writing about WhaleShares: @jphenderson/whaleshares-writing-contest-submit-your-article-for-a-chance-to-win-some-whaleshare-tokens
there is another way for you and it is a very simple one.

Sometimes Fuzzy comes and give everyone who who is active here some WhaleShares! Just by being a part of something bigger! That is pretty good deal as WhaleShares are pretty damn rare to get!
It is possible to get them on the BitShares exchange already, but who would sell something this rare for cheap? One WhaleShare is worth 50BTS now.

If you are 100% sure that you want to use them, it is a very easy process.
Go to http://whaleshares.net You dont have to use this site, but as it is said, this is a good site to avoid any mistakes! It is very important to have it correct. Do you want to upvote or downvote someone? Choose one.
What do you want to upvote/downvote? is it your post or someone elses? It is up to you. Copy the whole link.
You then see the memo which you will copy and use for your BitShare/OpenLedger transfer.
Now you need to open your BitShares/Openledger account and click transfer.
BitShare
OpenLedger
Now make sure you are sending it to the right person. It is WhaleShares, member #179419. Paste the memo and choose how many WhaleShares you want to use. 1 WhaleShares is 1% vote. The fee can be in WhaleShares or in BTS if you have them on your account.
BitShares
Completely same in OpenLedger
And that is it!
I hope this guide helps you and see you soon on discord!
