Now that DTube is up and running, a whole new door has opened for potential users to join Steem and add to the total value of the community. I recently made a post about Whalebounty that offers rewards to anyone that is able to recruit popular figures onto the Steem platform.
For the communities benefit, I created this Google Doc which is able to be edited by all. If you screw with it, I will find you and slap you with a giant fish.
List as of 8/29:
*Note: Its obviously a very conservative/libertarian leaning list, so add some diversity of thought
Rules:
- New user must create an account, write an introduction post AND tweet the introductory post.
- New user must indicate in the introductory post which existing Steemit user introduced them and convinced them to sign up
- Introductory post MUST INCLUDE "introduceyourself" tag AND "whalebounty" tag
- Twitter account follower/following count based on timestamp of introductory post to determine reward
- **"well-known publications" to mean any publication with an established brand and name recognition; subjective decision will be made by @blakemiles84 or @fuzzyvest or @kerp14
- Any subjective decisions of rewards or unforeseen events will be made by @blakemiles84
- No limit to amount of referral rewards to existing users
- Update the spreadsheet and message me via Steemit if I don't notice it first
- Bonus: +20% Whaleshares of state reward if new user includes selfie photo with following items visible on hand-written paper: "Steemit", new user account name, date
Rewards:
- 300 Whaleshares: "Verified" Twitter account (blue checkmark)
- 200 Whaleshares: Current or former journalist of well-known** publications
- 100 Whaleshares: Twitter account with >10,000 Followers AND following < 9,000
- 50 Whaleshares: Twitter account with >5,000 Followers AND following < 4,500
- 25 Whaleshares: Twitter account with >2,500 Followers AND following < 2,000
- What is Whaleshares? A token within the Bitshares ecosystem that allows for variable upvotes of specified Steemit posts. 100 Whaleshares = 100% upvote from @officialfuzzy account (approx. $40 as of 8/2/17)
HOW TO SELL IT
- DO NOT SELL ON THE MONEY. That is just icing on the cake
- Focus on the decentralized nature -- there is no one in charge that can decide what should be censored
- No one can delete content after it is posted to the blockchain -- it stays forever
- The rewards grow as the platform does -- First Mover Advantage
This is great! Thanks for making that list. I added a few personalities / people I think would make great additions to Steemit and DTube.
My fiancee just joined because of me, she has 30k twitter followers and is a verified blue check mark as she is a tv personality, I will be accepting my payment when you are ready lulz.
fair enough. whats your bitshares account name and her account?
I have been trying to get Tim Pool to check out Steemit. He's does great journalism on Youtube, used to work for VICE.com. He has recently had issues with Patreon and Youtube, so I thought this made the most sense.
I'm actually surprised he's not posting here yet..
Add him to the spreadsheet and claim him. if he puts your name in his intro post, you got the reward!
OMG steemit most wanted..lol...but its indeed getting crazy and good with the dtube..thanks for sharing,,upped

Great idea! Can't believe nobody has put Ben Shapiro on the list before me, he's awesome! Also Crowder, funny and smart guy, but he can be a bit repetitive sometimes. #NeverDaily
