The Script bases itself on the Top 60 Steemit Active Users (better known as 'Whales'). It analyses the amount of posts within past hour (pwh) and the weight of that Whales potential up vote power. realup = (Vesting Shares*(Voting Power/100))
- Script excludes whales that don't upvote
The Script then determines potential chance of catching a Whale (Getting an Upvote) for the upcoming 5 minutes.
The Script outputs a number (Whale Catching Score) which starts at 0 (no activity) and increases depending on, you guessed it, Whale activity. wcs = realup * (1+(pwh/10));
- wcs is still in 'Beta' or 'pre analytics version 1' as I call it. Essentially I need to figure out the right formula or even a combination of formulas that will give the best representation of the data.
Most of the data that is pulled and organized from steem is displayed on the page and using this data proves very helpful when determining when best to post!
Enjoy & feedback is more then welcome.

Thank You!
Sweet! Do you think most of the whales are using bots to vote for them? Or do you think they do it manually? I just put up a great post but no whales or even dolphins yet. I just made a post about this. Please consider upvoting me. I just upvoted you! https://steemit.com/steem/@brianphobos/linux-distributions-aren-t-confusing-but-crypto-forks-are-why-is-that
Manually is far more fun.
Your voting style is unusual, in that you go into a thread and "make it rain". Users are like "WOW WTF IS HAPPENING ITS RAINING DOLLLAAARRRSSSS"... I bet you have a blast with this ahahahaa.
Next thing you know, blueorgy makes a script just for predicting which threads berniesanders will visit and make it rain... :D
Lol :D
Hello i'm Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC.. So I see you have come here to spend a night with a whale.
@berniesanders upvoted my comment the other day so I penned a poem in his honour…
Bernie is a whale like no other.
His generosity knows no bounds.
His votes no prejudice.
He makes it rain on the thirsty, unrecognised, Steem-starved masses.
Rejoice, for he is a whale of the people.
If only bernie's supporters understood how jewish he really is
I made people angry Hillary. I thought the dnc glass ceiling hype was a bit much. Sorry if I insulted you. =(
Dude that's uh... yeah.
Chill out.
Yeah, whales vote manually. And its very clever knowing that they vote for thereselves.
Hi @berniesanders can I have your vote? :) https://steemit.com/steemit/@akiregor/tools-that-will-guide-you-for-your-content-formation-10min
@berniesanders @akiregor I really want to help this community grow, I am trying to focus on marketing and creating a billboard for Chicago. Once we have the first one up in south africa, we will be working on the one in Chicago! :-)
I know posts go so fast on here nowadays, but I did a post about Ethereum Classic.. check it out and please let me know what you think :D
https://steemit.com/ethereumclassic/@stealthtrader/is-ethereum-classic-replacing-ethereum
@berniesamders All ethereum classic did for me is lose thousands of my USD. I should have converted it to sbd... Smh =(
Have you looked at ETC today? You might want to check that balance if you still have any.
@berniesanders @williambanks, I dont have any ETC. My eth was stuck in the DAO still, they didnt issue ETC. Totally screwed me over. I am just trying to take deep breaths, hah... it is what is it, this too will pass
tell me about it, my GF drives a stick shift
I made somebody upset with me Bern lol
I think that you are not right accusing every whale for botting.
Im sure 90% of whales got it to their stage thanks to their brain: they were doing hard work to get here right?
And you are saying like magically they just went whale without any effort made? Or money invested?
I dont like people who are saying that whales are bad just because they are big here.do your shit , work hard and maybe one day you will get on their level.
Whales got to be whales by buying in early. It's easy to hold 100k of something when it's less than a penny. @stellabelle is the only exception that I know of and she's more of a dolphin really.
I think when I get a solid amount of data from my tool I will have some great insight into this question.
I like the idea behind this, but I also want to say that for most of us, we shouldn't be focused on "chasing that whale," but rather on consistent informative articles and postings, or other creative content. This to me would be the best way to catch a whale; maybe it sees a bunch of minnows in one spot and comes over for a look.
I agree. "consistent informative articles and postings, or other creative content" is defiantly the way to go and should be the goal of every blogger. However knowing the right time to post your great article can really help get it noticed by those whales ;). I am personal extremely interested in the analytics and will be getting those up by next week
Wow! This tool is awesome! I can't even make it justice!
It says 0 upvote in the last hour but it also says he vote 33 minutes ago. What does it mean?
@steemed Last Upvote: Monday, Jul 25, 2016 7:07 PM (33 minutes ago)
WCS: 0 | 0 Upvote(s) within past hour
Thanks I'll look into this! Could be a bug ;)
I completely agree, creating awesome content and knowing when to post said content are NOT mutually exclusive. Passion for the content is important, that said a proper launch is really, really, really important. Ask any business owner. Timing is everything. Thanks so much for the post and creating this tool. I was really hoping someone would!!!
This is a great tool!
I want to try this out, not because I want to be noticed by the whales. I'm actually conceptualizing something for another design that I will make for #steem and would really love to see the analytics on when people are mostly active here :)
Very Good Point.
Yes you are on point Sir
I agree, I also feel that it's logical most users will do this. I think some things will need to change, especially how much SP whales earn for curating. I mean we shouldn't discourage curation at any level but sometimes it's clearly a "the rich get richer" situation.
Whale <3
Join me in search of SteemWhales @bullionstackers
I would agree with you if curation rewards were paid after the first payout. Right now, the inventives are stacked against whales looking for older articles that were "missed" on their first payday; you can write good stuff for a long time and suffer a decent chance that you never get paid for it if you don't get whale attention early on.
Have to agree - consistent, quality content over relying on whales is the way to go - sooner or later if your posts are informative and a great addition to SteemIt you will be rewarded - power is in the numbers, in that case Steemians - it might not happen over night, but sooner or later we could all get a chance.
PS. That domain is just to catchy to not upvote this post :) - to bad RideAWhale.com isn't available anymore :D
https://steemit.com/steemit/@minion/youtube-vs-steemit-enemies-or-siblings
[IMPORTANT] This post covers the Similarity between YouTube and Steemit as well on How to use Steemit and It's OFFICIAL CONTENT RULES.
I completely agree @streetstyle .
Ideally @blueorgy, if i am not mistaken, in order to increase your chances of "catching a whale" one would need to keep firing away at the prime directive. That is to generate new, genuine content while simultaneously aiming to do so in a way that brings value to yourself and others in SteemEcosystem, or winning a whale over by providing content or a solution that specifically caters to a whale's interests and investments. Timing is important, but generating genuine value would increase your chances much more I would think.
Things often do get buried and even with 100's of votes can't manage any traction
Exactly the point of my #minnowcodeofconduct post. Focus on the value not on the whale. That said it may be difficult for minnows to school if no whale is present. Wonder what the best performing post (upvote count) that DID NOT get a top-500 user was.
I agree with streetstyle, in that I like the concept but also want it to work out with just posting good content consistently and hoping for the best. I hope I'm not being naive.
Wow I missed that one, this is amazing. Great job!
Thanks man! I will be adding a ton of functionality and analytics to the site soon. I will also be making some very cool info graphics based on my findings , do you mind If I use some of your data ? I will reference you and your posts of course! More data the better
You can use my data of course! Can't wait to see the new version.
great!
Speaking of whales, which ones are powering down? Found out with my new #steemapp SteemDown. https://steemit.com/steem/@bitcoiner/steemdown-com-which-whales-are-powering-down
@bitcoiner
To catch a Whale: Blueorgy edition
while this post is trying to catch a whale, all its caught is 225 tiny bacteria
I actually posted this while my app told me I had a low chance to catch one ;) thought to myself, why not! Also Whales aren't out to catch a Whale, you guys are! Good Luck!
lul xD
Ok, seem like you did caught a whale, lol, congrat
Ok, now this is something we should add on the steemtools! go and request to be added!
I'm happy that people are getting inspired by Steemit to create but I'm more happy that over the past week the user-base is spending more and more time here taking part in the comment section of submissions.
Haha, this is awesome. Clever and funny, both. Perhaps you can track history and work out trends when whales are most active across time of day and day of week?
Already ahead of you ;) will collect a week or so of data then get some good analytics to share right on the site
Nice! Looking forward to it. Disappointed but not surprised to see no whales voting for this thread.
Well... my app did tell me not to post ;)
Potential chance of currently catching a whale is
low (Consider waiting a while longer for more Whale activity!)Haha. Perhaps you should have trusted your app. ;)
Really feel helpless, I think your post deserves to be trending! It's not just useful, but made me laugh.
Ill put it to the test, when it says a high chance and ill get back to you ;)
nice one
Good luck to catch a whale bro, I did not catch even sardine until now lol
The information it gathers will be interesting to see.
Cool project. I like whale watching, why not try to catch one ;-)
Lets Sing the Curation reward song! and also
Tank you @blueorgy for not waiting for whales!
YES!
I'll be swimming with whales in Jamaica on Friday. :)
It is my understanding from this post that you should attempt to catch one.
Let us know how it goes.
That would be blessed bro, I like the big fat obese ones. ;)
Very cool! That should be a great post , can't wait!
For sure man :)
Im gonna catch a whales soon ! Come to papa whales !
Ha ha ha @rainchen
Catching a whale is much harder than searching for one
Checkout my blog, In search of SteemWhales @bullionstackers
WOW! Something new.
Nice one blue!!
Wow, this is the beauty of steemit. so many people coming up with useful programming stuff. i cant program, so i have to stick to stories, but this is 1000% helpful.
yesterday and today i was hoping and waiting for a whale to come by, but it didnt happen, maybe with your tool the chance will be a bit higher ;)
https://steemit.com/steemit/@knozaki2015/my-upvote-was-worth-5-06-usd-25300-or-how-to-earn-the-maximum-curation-reward
thank you ! upvoted with 1.2$
What's good about the curation reward on this post is that since I posted it with no Whales online. (according to my tool ;) The base upvotes are all mostly minnows, so if more Whales do come by, the rewards could be great :) Good Job Guys!
Upvote for Blue
Join me in search of SteemWhales @bullionstackers
I think your app is broken, if the curation here is to be believed. Cool incentive
its cool Bro
Nice! A coding fish finder. Pretty neat
I just really want to catch a whale ! Thank you
Hello maxim ,
A whale is a myth!!!! They don't exist
Checkout my blog @bullionstackers
Potential chance of currently catching a whale is high (The Whales are really jumping now!)
Creative! God bless u my friend for the charity! upvote and following.
Hey blueorgy! love the tool!
What time zone is the graph in? OOps, just realized that other asked this. Can you edit the post and let everyone know.
Get that question a lot. Its based off the blockchain so therefor its
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)are the timestamps local time? or some other timezone?
Sorry missed this comment.
The timestamps are consistent with the steem blockchain
Thanks for the reply! Do you happen to know if that would be UTC? It would be helpful to know what timezone your Upvote Hourly Analytics chart is in. Anyway, really good job on your web app!
Get that question a lot. Its based off the blockchain so therefor its
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)Got it. Thanks for clarifying! Anyway, @blueorgy, you creating this #steemapp has motivated me to code up my own. I've release SteemDown - https://steemit.com/steem/@bitcoiner/steemdown-com-which-whales-are-powering-down. If you would check it out and let me know what you think, I would be much obliged.
@bitcoiner nice little bit of information , I actually had something similar in works to add to catchawhale just a little side information, you should make it mobile friendly and also the single vote information from steemdollar is inaccurate I am actually working on a better formula ;)
Major props just for securing that domain...
Nice !!!! check my post out
https://steemit.com/steemit/@basicstepnetwork/steemit-whales-whale-fishing
One does not simply "catch a whale". The whale condescends to grant you their approval.
;)
Yeah turns out it was over here...

Thanks @blueorgy!
@blueorgy
Thank You!
I really like this idea as well. Nicely thought out!
Why haven't i found this article earlier? Come whales, come....
great post
Don't be a whale hole licker
https://steemit.com/investments/@vapekings14/don-t-be-a-whale-hole-licker
Potential game changer!! Thanks!
all about whale, please whale come to papa :D
awesome tool!
Who needs upvotes from whales when you can abduct them with UFOs.
https://steemit.com/area/@steve-mcclair/area-51-steemit-has-arrived
I'm all for catching whales. Seems we're all turning into Captain Ahab's overnight! haha
Or you could just post better content to get more upvotes. Aiming for one big upvote vs actually trying to get your info out there to as many people as possible, in a way, defeats the purpose of blogging at all.
Cool tool though, nice build.
Yes, many have brought up this point. This tool doesn't show you what to write about merely when to post it. If you feel what you wrote is compelling to a particular Whale and that Whale isn't even online nor has been for some time... and you miss him/her. Well you missed out on an opportunity to get you article
out there to as many people as possiblebecause that one whale vote brings attention.Now as many others have discussed, dolphins and minnows have been doing a good job as of late to get posts noticed, but a whale is where it's at right now.
@blueorgy since steemit is new, the Whales are giving "encouragement." But I believe that in a short period of time, it will be the minnows and dolphins that will carry more upvote weight collectively... People are seeing the dollars signs at the moment, and that's whats driving some of these stories For Now!
Full $TEEM Ahead!
@streetstyle
@blueorgy This is really interesting, it kinda shows how the community handles the existence of whales. Thanks for the read!
Nice idea. Will see if from the beta version till the final would be possible to analyse the correct post to write!
Best regards
@webdeals
Very good. I'd like to be able to read their minds .
Great work, great post, and great cause for your donations! Hopefully the platform soon matures to the point where breadth of interest in a particular topic becomes more important than catching the eye of the biggest fish in the pond.
Interesting!
Just for clarification, this tool is suppose to help publishers to find the perfect moment for posting on steemit, right?
Essentially yes. The highest likelihood that a whale might see your content.
Thanks for the clarification. Then this is definitely a very useful tool for publishers.
Okay.. now we here looks like a paparazzi, which looking for a star.
Now someone will scream -- @berniesanders is a whale! -- and a panic will raise :)
P.S. blueorgy is a talent. Thanks for this post!
Congrats! I just used it and it works fine. A good feature to add might be that we get notified when they upvote as well as knowing which on them upvoted in the past 12 hours (for people who check the list once a day or so).
Good Idea. I have a bunch of cool features in mind and expanded stats coming in version 2
It's awesome. Clever and funny, both. Perhaps you can track history and work out trends when whales are most active across time of day and day of my week?
Already ahead of you. Will post a article about my results / findings and have it available on the site
