The whaleshares platform will be a lot like Steemit in the way it looks and works from what I gather, but they are trying to eliminates things like bid bots and other things that haven't worked for Steemit.
I have also heard things like they favor shorter content as well and that you won't be able to 'withdraw' anything for a year too. Have to wait for the whitepaper and should be able to get in in the beta open launch this month, then its open to public 1st Sept.
Quite exciting to be part of something from the 'start'.
It is not on the Steem blockchain though, new tokens etc.
There is this software callled Masdacs that lets you post on both Steemit and whaleshares at the same time, so will still be here too :)
howdy today @hopehuggs! well this sounds very interesting, expecially if one could do a single post and put it on both platforms!
But they won't be using Steem? I don't understand that part, why wouldn't they?
thank you hopehuggs, this sounds intriguing!
