This may be news to some folk... every time you vote on someone's post you receive 50% of the vote you send. It's called a Curation Reward.
Every person with staked POB in their account has the power to send digitized tokens to another person in appreciation of their work. You receive tokens for doing it, they receive tokens for getting your attention, impressing you, providing value... the list goes on.
Proof Of Brain can be as complex or as simple as you like.
I may seem a bit off base today, that's because I am.
The main thing to remember is that, as the title states, we're all POB curators (I'd even go as far as to say people who delegate to other projects are curators by proxy, if you own the stake, it's your responsibility). If you are putting other people on a pedestal because you believe that the title "curator" has any kind of superiority, well I'm afraid to tell you, you're thinking too small.
With the very early stages of the platform behind us, we're now in the not-so-very-but-still-very-early stage of the platform. If you take a brief glance at the richlist you'll see (and this is from the top of my head because I don't even see the value in being accurate, that's not the point) a small handful of folks with over 5K stake, a larger handful with between 1K-5K, and a bit bigger handful of people with under 1K stake. This has all been generated within the first couple of months.
Some might tell you that it's impossible to be a whale, or that you need to @ss-lick to get there, but the truth of the matter is, it doesn't really matter any which way.
If you believe being a whale is the true goal, then you'll have a shitty and lonely time if you ever become one (something which isn't hard to do if you are here right now and you are looking at the bigger picture).
I've said multiple times that being a whale is overrated. You have constant eyes on your actions, you are responsible for a larger portion of the distribution, and you have bold fuckers wanting to take a bite at you.
You can guarantee that I'm staying firmly in the "reasonable stake just like all the other people who are here to have a laugh, learn, and piss about without being too serious" bracket, and you can expect to see me continue to give out juicy prizes and delegations.
Consider where you fall on the "enlightened" spectrum when it comes to being part of this community. Share your views below, I'll send 20 POB to whoever impresses me (it doesn't take much).
If you need inspiration, answer this:
PS. I am fully expecting some responses like "it's easy to say that when you're there"... if this is your first instinct, do some more thinking.
I've adjusted my comment voting percentages today to 3% and 6% instead of 5% and 10%. This is to give some more vote strength for posts since we have a whole lot of content appearing. I'm also working my way through the WOTW posts in order (I may be checking posts of people I follow frequently earlier), I will be around to them all.
Cheers!
Don't forget to write your post for this week's POB Word of the Week!
There is 525 POB (liquid) up for grabs. That's about 656 HIVE at today's current price.
If I define that it is a whale, the first name that comes to mind is @caluman, and although I don't know you that much, I see the collective work you do, I have also seen the great work of @trostparadox and I think they define very well that word "whale"
I have not had the opportunity to detail the work of the other whales, since I am busy with so much content that I enjoy reading, and it will surely be a matter of time to be able to meet a profile of virtues and defects, which should not be relevant to them at all , since it is an own appreciation.
Perhaps what matters most to me is that feeling of believing that everything will remain as similar as possible to partiality, I have seen how in Hive some whales use their power to deliberately affect the publication of certain colleagues, and I think it will always be a disadvantage to deal with.
Of the rest if I take into account that life is only one, I do not think I reserve something when I must express a situation that at that moment seems out of place, if we look at real life, we are trampled on repeated occasions for fear of losing something or being discarded, and after seeing so many close examples, I think that being honest will always be the right thing to do, whether or not it bothers whoever it is directed at!
Truth!
Well stated.
Your point about partiality is an interesting one, and it's something I've touched on in another comment about the intentions of larger stakeholders.
It's known by some of the longer-standing members that I've picked out some things and highlighted it surrounding the larger stakeholders. That's always to find out what their intentions are . Without this kind of information being shared and some feedback being received, we cannot be sure of anything and we shouldn't assume good faith.
I'm with @trostparadox, this is solid.
+20 POB for dropping the truth bombs
I totally agree with "we cannot be sure of anything ...".
I disagree with "... and we shouldn't assume good faith."
In my life, I have found it best to be skeptical of almost every claim, until backed up by solid logical argument or evidence. However, I have likewise found it best to always assume the best in terms of intentions. Many times once the facts come out, we find good intentions (or at least an absence of mal-intent) behind actions that turned out badly or simply went against what we thought was best.
Life is too short to be constantly worrying about other people's intentions.
Some of the most destructive government policies were put in place with relatively good intentions (take the U.S. welfare system, for example).
When all is said and done, intentions don't matter (on earth, anyways). God will judge the intents of the heart.
Might be splitting hairs, here, but I think you are getting at motivations rather than intentions.
This does seem like a more sane approach. The emotions associated with assuming bad intentions aren't healthy and it isn't worth worrying over (especially in this instance).
Yes, you're correct there. I've been throwing around the word "intentions" willy nilly. It is definitely directed more towards people's motivations and not any plans in particular. Time to consider what other words I've been using frequently without fully understanding the meaning behind them and how they come across, lol. Always a learning opportunity.
Thanks for the food for thought, it has helped.
Here are a couple to think about:
Our pastor pointed out a few years ago that when we refer to "Bible stories" to our children, we inadvertently give the impression that they are just that, 'stories'. Whenever it is an historical account, we should use the word "account" (e.g. "the account of David and Goliath"), because it more accurately reflects truth and reality as opposed to fiction and mere storytelling.
Somewhere a few years ago, I read an article explaining why we should avoid saying "I believe" because of the relativism in society today. It is easier for someone to dismiss your 'beliefs' because they are just that, subjective beliefs.
If it is something that you believe with conviction, it is better to say "I affirm" -- this conveys not just that you "believe" something (in a subjective sense) but that you affirm it as objectively true. Doesn't mean they have to agree with you, just that you are drawing a line between subjective 'opinions' and claims of objective truth.
Yes, it is in your personal best interest to assume good intentions. Life is more pleasant that way.
There is a sentiment (and sometimes rightly so), of scarcity and that tends to turn the almighty dpos system into something that can be molded to fit many narratives. I honestly think the whole aquatic themed caste system is hilarious. Why can't there be Angelfish or Starfishes, lord only knows sometimes everyone can be a chocolate one! (that's a joke and levity is a good thing unless you lack laughter and in that case I can't relate to you and vice versa and that IS OKAY)
I don't have time to keep up with all the dramas but I do have time to write this which denotes how we ALL are responsible for how we use our energy and time. Pointing out that we all are curators is essential as a lot of newer users can easily feel disenfranchised or get a chilly reception by some and jet. How they react is on them but overall most users just want to be part of some sort of project or group(s) and create content how they see fit.
I've no real need nor desire to be a "whale" because you hit the nail on the head that then you get to enjoy "decentralization" under a microscope which takes out most of the joy and makes it feel like the very system supposedly we are avoiding. "When fighting monsters be careful you do not turn into that which you supposedly fight."
I have Whale friends and Minnow friends and just like who I like and avoid who I don't. If people would perhaps realize that the sometimes misguided sense of scarcity is intended to make you jump on coins etc....., the entire ride would be better for all.
Peace,
Axey
It's even more ironic when we're destroying that same aquatic system on our own planet (literally).
This is a valid point. It is a test of character in a way and the early signs of "just here for the tokens" can be presented in this period, but for the most part, it all comes down to the perspective people have in regards to "how they view themselves as part of the community".
It's important to give a boost to people who are just stumbling into the community otherwise it just becomes an echo chamber of a few, and in general, people don't like to speak out of place in fear of being detached from the community (which is completely bonkers).
+20 POB because you continued the message further and pointed out some important bits and bobs
thank you kindly, am not a 'daily poster' or whatnot so it's really appreciated
I don't assume intentions because often someone can smile at me while holding a dagger to the back.....4 years in crypto teaches you some really 'fun' lessons. thanks again and hope the scarcity facade on a lot of things changes (look at the gasoline run in america, there is gasoline but the greedy started overhoarding and using so hope those types don't have any loved ones that get stranded on a road or an ambulance runs out or something)
well enough blatherings for now, cheers
everyday im hustling
I may not be responding from the position or perspective of so many others, but... I have a life’s work ready to publish. 1000s of pages, two full size books, plus many vids and transcripts from Sessions with people.
Because I have helped so many with their trauma memories over the last 25 years I’d discovered many horrible things to be true.
So, I also track and monitor 20 diff topic threads.
I gave up on Steem as an option because of the whales, so to speak.
I envision the Whales as Doorways, just as are all of us.
Some doorways block light and truth, other doorways want to close against it and not let it through.
The whales can help you get your msg out, or block you.
I am used to a world which blocks me.
I went organically viral from posting on fb twice and each time they put me in jail for a week. It was not due to negative content, merely too much activity!
The last time, when I gave up, I took a pic of the notification after they locked me away from posting or commenting for a week! You have 783 Reactions in the last two hours!
a9f51524_3a83_4c42_a2da_a43ebe51ceb5.png
Well, colour me intrigued.
It sounds like your knowledge packs a punch. I've never heard of people being locked up for going viral before, that is some real dystopian shit, lol.
Yes, I thought that to be an important point to make. There was no complaint from facebook other than simply too much activity in too short of a period. Said they had to make sure I was a human.
No, really! But, the algorithm kicked in the first time at 300 Reactions in two hours. They locked me down and bothered me with some stuff to make sure I was human.
Then it seemed like they let me loose to go viral finally.
But, no... as soon as I hit that 783 the algo kicked in again. And again... no content complaint, merely too much activity.
And again... I had to spend hours proving I was human, which took a week.
that's the Zuckster :)
That is bizarre.
How did you finally manage to prove you were a human? That sounds like something we all need to know, lol.
Oh such a simple question. Why a whale? So that I can swim in the ocean, breathe in the air and when someone pisses me off, smoke him in the lair.. On a lighter note. 😊 😊
I do want to become a whale but I will tell you why once I become one. What's the point in having all the answers right now. Let me discover the reasons as I journey ahead! 😊😊
Hahaha.. @calumam, had a smile seeing the 20 PoB. See, I am already becoming a whale.. 😃 😃
Awww, send it back! I hoped you would have smiled at my cracking sense of humour and not the fun tokens.
just kidding, I know it's a great help for the account and I'm glad that I am able to help out in the little ways I can
First I laughed at your humor and then I smiled at the 20 PoB. You will see it when you read my earlier comment again.. 😃 😃
Thanks for the tokens. Appreciate it. 😊
I like this approach, keep me guessing! (another person added to my mental "watchlist" ;)) +20POB
Well, I think whales play an important role in influencing community/blockchain policies and token distribution, which are an integral aspect of blockchain. Having good whales on your community/blockchain will go a long way in sustaining the community/blockchain.
Being in a position of power does have its merits and demerits. In the case of the whales, I think the former outweighs the latter.
Do I want to be a whale?
In all honestly, I have not thought about it because it is not within my grasp but if I do have the opportunity to become one I don't mind.
Agreed. It's a tightrope as far as I'm concerned. Nobody is perfect and we all have our bad days, but having your activities under a microscope definitely reveals more than the average user. Having an open mind for all is usually the best course of action. Alienating people is never the goal.
ohhh! I'm having fun! Visiting proofofbrain daily to upvote is one of my new favorite habits. I've never had that power before so POB has giving me a greater understanding of the whole system and curating in particular.
I am sooooo biased though :D I'm an artist/musician and overall weirdo junky bird so I love voting the visually and audibly creative. I do enjoy good writers too. Writing lyrics is half the song, so I enjoy well crafted and thought provoking wordplay. Especially if there is humor involved.
I do hope I never have a bunch of eyes on me, as you say, and I'm definitely in the have fun and don't take it too seriously crowd.
In fact, I've written too much and I must retire back into the shadows of quietly and happily upvoting art and content that lifts my spirit. :)
This is great to hear, we need people who are more creatively biased in all honesty. Speaking of this, I am wondering if you could help me out with something since you have more of a creative flair.
I'm doing a merit system for the WOTW, and when it comes down to creative and informative styles, I'm grading them right now as; 0-No level 1-definitive/generic 2-Average 3-Good 4-Excellent 5-Next level, but... I'm not sure if this is the best way to go about it.. do you have any inspiration?
thank goodness, sometimes my honesty bites me in the ass 😂
I just read up on your WOTW project and I really love the idea! During a time in my life when I thought i wanted to be a teacher, I knew i didn't want to be an art teacher...cause how do you judge creativity??? For art, it's partially the time spent in the creation, but also inspirational ideas can happen in a moment!
With wordplay, I believe comedians are the best and they get that way with time and practice and failing over and over till the words hit just right.
I think you got a good system right now. If the intention is to get people to up their creative game, then the fear of being called generic will definitely light a fire!!
Now that I have looked into the WOTW and how it's graded, I actually want to participate for the mental/creative challenge :) So, i don't have much inspiration to add except that it worked on me so the system must be good haha
don't stay up too late grading papers!
You and me both, lol.
I'm glad to hear that you see the value in the WOTW contest. It's been a serious learning opportunity for me and I get the impression that it has been for others as well. I'll definitely be looking out for your entry now for next week (the word is Bizarre!).
Being a whale at the moment says much more about the community that I am inserted than myself.
Since 2017 we are brazilians we are united growing slowly, and I am happy for what we have built up here, @jsantana pioneer was the greatest of all Brazilians when everything was killed, @brazilians who are with us on the Hive without having abandoned the old network that There was before Fork, even if most Brazilians came to Hive, @Coyotelation that is currently the largest of the Brazilian in Leo Finance, and I here along with @Fireguardian that we are on the right track to have some relevance in POB.
The happiness we have to see each other grow is genuine and we are always trying to help us. Even if some ideas conflict, never lacked respect and help.
Being a whale at the time of difficulty that we are in the country, it represents much more than the numbers in Blockchain, represents hope, that everyone can get there.
I'm never going to be able to see that again without thinking of @antonym, lol. You guys are a constant uplifting impression on this platform from your effort and attention to quality within your publications, I hope others follow suit.
Inspiring stuff. It is a sign of potential freedom and being able to bang to the beat of your own drum.
(You don't need the +20 POB but you can give a "calumam 20 POB voucher" to any Brazilian POB content creator who has impressed you this week since I am impressed with your reply)
You and your team are really doing an awesome job....@vempromundo.pob
Being a whale has never been my priority. I think the real human contact is very fractured when you are there (pedestal) ... I mean, many people when they see a whale they don't see it as a real and normal person behind a screen, they just see it as a money opportunity. I honestly know that money plays an important role in life, but it is not everything ... There are things beyond that, perhaps I will count for another occasion. For my part, being a good user who shares, comments and makes pleasant moments is enough for me (despite the fact that I often get lost in the sea of content). Greetings ... you do not worry about the whale that you are, believe, vote and comment how you like it, because total: You are a person!
(@calumam Sorry for the delay, it is just a few hours ago that I resolved the internet!) 😅
This is very true. It can be easy to forget that when we're bombarded by content day after day. That's why I think it's important to share parts of yourself and to be honest with people when the time arises.
Glad to hear that you got your internet fixed, is it still being funny at certain times of the day? I remember you saying that you had a weak signal at various times?
Yes. Many pressures ... honestly it does not add up to me! And yes, I had a bad Internet because it used my mobile data. But, now I have been able to hire an internet service, this will greatly facilitate my day to day. 😊

LOL
Now seriously.
Not that it wasn't before, because the answer is perfect for your question ... But come on.
Being a whale is what holds much of that tribe's power, token or whatever. It is to be the person you want to spend and vote at one time or another on your post with 100% and delight someone with it ...
But I don't mind being.
If I ever go, it will be a consequence. I am not trying hard to be and I would not have the money to invest to become faster. My time is scarce too and at the same time I need to pay bills, gigantic, in fact my bills are a whale. If one day I can pay off all of them only with what I get with cryptos and blockchain, then I would have been a whale, but otherwise;)
Eyy, points for creativity. Interesting little snippet of information there.
When most people think of "whales" on here the first thoughts are usually linked with the token value and power (for obvious reasons), but not many people strip back the layers further than that and look deeper. At the end of the day, 99% of the time (don't quote me on this), it's a person behind the account.
I can definitely get behind that, and I'll be rooting for you. Finding freedom in your RL circumstance is about as much whale as it gets. +20 POB
Ow!
Thanks!
I have a slight tendency that you may have noticed that I like to "joke" with some situations at the same time I mean it lol
And thanks for all your support. Everyone, who votes, comments, reblogs, any action, small or large, has contributed so that I can continue here and at the same time gradually pay off debts.
We're very similar in that respect, lol. I like to have a joke sometimes as well when the topic may be of a serious nature.
You're welcome mate, and the same back at you.
FYI, I have never used any auto-voting. I set up a Hive.Vote account about 6 weeks ago, but set the vote mana threshold so high that it has never been used (as far as I know).
However, I have just added @calumam as a curation trail that I will be following, at least in the short term, and I've lowered the vote mana threshold so that it should remain active most of the time.
I am doing this because, as the value of POB rises, the value of my upvotes are getting to the point where I feel the need to be more judicious, but don't always have the time -- and @calumam has earned my trust as a good steward, striving to do what's in the best interest of the POB tribe.
BTW, I am just experimenting with this approach right now -- it is subject to change.
This is some responsibility. I appreciate the show of trust.
I'll keep doing what I'm doing and I'll probably post an update to the post I made a couple of weeks back about my voting weights (they are changing due to the increase in content) to keep yourself and others updated.
Please let me know if there are any concerns.
Regardless of whether we are whales or not, @calumam... We are all curators when we dedicate ourselves to reading a post and promoting some kind of engagement.
Many users have the idea that only whales are curators because they are related to a specific project and this needs to be demystified, because each comment (I mean significant comments) matters... Just like all upvotes (of any value).
People must understand this: The weight of what they have to say matters... As long as it is said in a true and efficient way. Being a curator does not depend on your voting power, but on your willingness to acknowledge someone else's effort.
I couldn't agree more. It's a distinction which gets lost on some people when the tokens start getting thrown around and the focus on "what to post for rewards" gets too ingrained. It builds this mentality that assumes that curators are only people who drop the fat votes (this is not always the case of course, I'm just highlighting the mindset of some).
Steering clear of this and highlighting where the true value of POB lies will hopefully help others to see the power they have behind their own vote weight over time.
+20 POB because you know what is up
I totally agree and even that has been my focus since I saw POB for the first time, I want to grow as much as you do here, my dear, and have the pleasure of healing and giving good rewards for quality posts that add and serve as something more than a social media distraction.
I have always imagined (since the time of Steemit) these ecosystems as an infinite potential encyclopedia, being created in real time and deepened more and more, with better content and information, whether for leisure or for a hyper-detailed study of some scientific topic. , the important thing is to happen.
And I find myself both helping to create these contents (whatever they are) as well as curing them!
This is an important point that can be explored further. This place can become a huge distraction but if you are applying yourself and using it as a positive tool in your own life instead of a distraction, it can really bring huge value.
It's good to know where you stand here on the platform.
I have noticed that the voting power is very high on POB, I had about 50 POB, and the voting power was 0.1, which I get 0.05. Now if I vote 10 times a day to maintain optimum voting mana, that means I can receive 0.5 per day, on 50POB, which is a great yield of 1% per day!... have I got this yield right, that's 300%+ yield? what am I missing.
The community is very young and small, there are only a few people to share the pie and therefore when it comes to sharing it out, there are more for each one. As people join you will give less with your vote with the same amount of POB Power. Same logic but the opposite, more people participating so you get less reward per person. Happens with all the cryptos in general .. first come, first served.
Numbers, percentages, yields, decimals, returns, profits...
If I am correct every time you vote, the power is reduced and the amount of your voyo to 100% is also reduced, therefore I think your calculations are a bit wrong, I also think it is convenient not to have your voyo power below 80%
After a month That is 30% yield and not 300% ...but anyways getting 30% monthly on an investment is a very great profit ...@notak
I am used to bank accounts showing annual yields.. so that's why I said 300%. I forgot in the yield farming crypto world we focus on monthly yields a little more.
I think the whales do a lot for the community. They have huge stakes, meaning they have a lot of faith in the project.
They help to evenly distribute the token on the blockchain, basically ensuring everyone benefits from the blockchain.
I do not care much about being a whale, it is a lot of work and I am going to stick with you under "reasonable stake". I just want to engage, learn, give back to the community and just do my bit.
I do not want to contradict your opinion but remember that they are human therefore they can fail and although I have not seen much here, I have noticed in other tribes that a pretty face and two breasts and blonde hair helps a lot to an upvote.
I can't say much about this but from your perspective you are saying they don't make quality post, but get upvotes because they are pretty.
Now I've not noticed that or even try to notice, but I think what makes for a quality post is somewhat subjective, so being pretty may not be reason they get the upvote you see
This is not necessarily true. Just because somebody has a large stake doesn't mean the default intention is a good one. It's important to keep an eye on those with larger stakes since they have considerable influence and power.
Evenly is not possible, but somewhat "fair" can be a goal. Even is a little bit vague and it doesn't really fit into the concept of Proof of Brain since no one person is the same (talking about human beings, not bots), and there are different social factors that have a part to play also.
This is what it's all about. Just have fun and do your thing, it doesn't have to be any more serious than that. +10 POB because even though your answer lacked some understanding, it's obvious you don't really care all that much about the whale matter and you're just here to be part of the community, lol (correct me if I'm wrong of course).
I am relatively new, so I could be wrong. Do you mind explaining the other motives a "whale" could have?
This is all I am about, being a whale don't really mean that much to me.
Thank you!!!
That's a lesson that is best learned on your own, it's not a straightforward black and white answer. Much like good intentions aren't either.
Oh I understand. I'll look out for it and see for myself. Thank you!
The highest APR is POB on hive tribes. It is the opportunity to be whales because we are all in early development. After four years, where there will be first halving, to be whales will need high cost. It is time to build the power on POB.
It is easy to say it, the complicated thing is to fulfill it ...
There are many factors that can act as magnets that in one way or another try to prevent you from being one.
And I am not saying that it is your case, I only see some examples and I analyze them with the Blockchain, how they can become dolphins in the process of whales, but their eyes and heart are set on the tangible or traditional businesses of daily life, what that produces as a consequence, that they dispose of their coins, with the first belief that they will do better outside ...
Then time and reason remind them how wrong they were, but it is almost always too late to remedy it.
We can only see this when a few years pass and we see stories of regret, eager to start over!
God, don't remind me that we're going to be stuck with @clicmaster for 4+ years, I might powerdown and gtfo.
;)
Being a whale is a little like have FU money in real life... no one gets to tell you what to do for the most part. I guess that's the appeal for a lot of people, along with the sweet rewards.
Personally, i'd settle for having enough and a good time. Not setting out to be the richest pob-er in the graveyard.
Yup, that's pretty much it, lol. It's definitely wise to check yourself though on occasion, being shunned by the community (at least the genuine, funny, and smart people) sounds like a lonely existence.
I'm with you there. There is more to life than what's in your wallet.
The best thing about POB is that there is opportunity for everybody to grow. My first instinct after getting liquid POB was to sell in hive-engine but a deeper desire was to see this community to grow and not get screwed over. I made sure that I powered up the reward money from the word of the week and I'm pretty sure the best thing to do with the other rewards is to power up and support content. I never had any real vote before on Hive but in POB one upvote with just a few hundred POB makes a difference. Thanks for setting me in the right direction @calumam. I am definitely going to try that word POWER this week too.
I think it's always good to remember that you can do whatever you like with your stake. I personally sell my earnings on a Saturday (last week I increased WOTW instead) so I can stack more liquid for future buying and/or diversifying. Just because POB is great now, doesn't mean it will remain that way and it's smart to offset any potential failures with some growth (all or nothing mindsets in crypto are wobbly).
I'm glad you stuck around. You have a unique personality, I enjoy following your content.
Thank you @calumam,
You have been very kind to me and given wise advice.
I'm glad you enjoy following my blog here. I'm flattered that you recognize my voice and encouraged to share more.

Mhh, I was always kind of against curation rewards, but getting 1 POB per vote for myself certainly feels nice. I think greed is good in this case. If you want to maximize your stacking rewards you dont sell POB and maybe even buy a little extra. If you want your stacking rewards to actually work you want POB to be a successful community, where people want to be a part of and engage in.
Greed is good, if I was not greedy and not kept most of the POB I got, I couldn't make 8$ a day just from voting now.
I am still a little bearish, the inflation is really high and all we got is a cool name. I have seen a lot of people proposing things, but not a lot done. That's just my outside impression though, I am not very active on the POB frontend.
@proofofbrainio has also become kind of quite, hasn't he?
