I published a new post on natural remedy for ear pains/problems need some whale touch...check it out guys... what is the simplest way to go about it without need for much protocols or download...
what is the ROI like...
thanks and good job!
welcome back to WhaleShares... well done!! I know how much hard work it means
yeah sue..thanks...publishing a good post on steemit blog is no ordinary task...needs a lot of work and careful editing... and being under valued does not encourage us new members all but with your concept, there is a ray of hope...keep it up
What does bitshare means?
Hey guys, how's it going. I introduce myself, Im a graphic designer based in Uruguay, working as a free lance for the last seven years. I want to offer my services as a designer, if you want I could make a logo and a banner for you, you don't have to pay me if you don't want to, and I don't want to put a price on it either, cause Im not trying to earn money this way. Im offering this to my contacts as my way to contribute to the community and to an specific steemian as well. So if you are ok with this just let me know, and I will prepare a logo and a banner for you. thanks for reading and have a nice day.
I was wondering about this. I need to block out some time and learn how to get involved. I owned bts before poloniex froze steem. i liquidated all my assets on polo back then and have not gotten back in yet, but now is a great time to buy
Good lessons! Thank you, keep posting!
Thanks for updating. Thankfully it did not took forever!!
Can it be done with the bitshares web wallet?
yes it can... works equally well with the web wallet or the software.
Thanks for the info. Love that everyone is in this together and as a whole we all profit.
Whale to go guys
I'm relatively new to crypto and Steemit and have heard about this, think I'm going to check it out as soon as I post this. Thanks.
ohh...then have my welcome message to steemit. wish you success here since you commented you new. Steemit is a place to be and where we help one another succeed like this whaleshare concept
Okay, just signed up and I can tell I'm gonna spend a LOT of time there. Super cool!
Finaly its back :)
Is it possible that some one Can help me to get it Whaleshares?
Whaleshares seems like a bad solution to a valid problem.
People post good content and want it discovered. A whale-vote helps elevate that content in the short time frame when it matters most on Steemit. If Steemit had better content discovery features, new users wouldn't necessarily need to rely on whaleshares (or pay-to-vote bots) so much.
I'm sure they would still exist, since whales still want to turn their steam power into something liquid without powering down, but the entire whaleshares system seems like a way to game the steemit system.
We only release them through contests and by rewarding people that have helped us create the various tools we're making to benefit the system so we're not really "gaming the system". We just thought it would be a good way to create some synergy between bitshares and steem while providing a valuable service to new steemians and help spread out the reward pool a little more fairly. Unlike all the pay-to-vote bots all we make off it is curation rewards. Basically, it's a novel way to maximize curation while benefiting 2 ecosystems that we love.
so, what exactly do you have in mind that would be "better"? you may also want to join the discord chat, where WhaleBoT and @RawbinHutt's "Looking For Niche" feature are some additional ideas we are also pursuing (that all go hand-in-hand) to help fellow steemians match interests, thus leading to "better content discovery". For example, if we have the same interests, perhaps we'll also be more interested in each other's posts!
As for building up a "presence" on STEEMIT, you may also find this great article of interest as well: "The Most Valuable Steemit Post Begins In Your Head - Tips To Mazimize Your Social Currency On Steemit".
Some random ideas for better discovery:
Thanks. I'll check out the looking-for-niche room.
As for building up presence, it seems really odd for a blogging platform that only incentivizes blogging during a small window of usage.
i.e. If you are a new user, you are not incentivized to blog. You are expected to comment, interact, and get to know the community.
Only have you've grown a following, than you can post whatever you want with decent success, regardless of quality.
And once you've become a whale, you earn more from curation awards than you do writing posts. These curations mean that Steemit is trapped with a small handful of tastemakers instead of opening up the long-tail by allowing people to discover the posts and authors they like outside of the whales or powerful self-votes.
Hence people's current solutions are the follow-for-follow nonsense, the pay-for-vote bots, and the begging-for-whale votes. The system is trying to find a solution, but I think it comes down improving the general UX to fix it.
Thanks for the mention @alexpmorris!
And thank you @somethingsubtle for checking us out! If you need any help with the community and the tool, please feel free to message me on Discord, and I will be happy to help. In short, Looking For Niche is a "matchmaking" community and tool to help you find like-minded people based on similar interests in tags.
I think you have quite a few good ideas in regards to UX design. I'll urge you to either write a post about it and/or find the right people to start building your own design, if you have the code- or design-knowledge, which is totally possible with the open-source code of Steemit.
Thanks. I'll definitely check things out and see where I can be helpful.
In fact, I've already turned my rough comment into a post!
5 Ideas to Improve Steemit's Discovery Features
There's all sorts of apps that have been built to look at STEEM data in different ways, from busy.org, chainbb.com, Zappl (twitter for steemit) and others. I believe the next hard fork 20 may also try and address this somewhat with some new "Community" features:
https://steemit.com/hf20/@samupaha/thoughts-and-alternative-proposal-on-hf20
Also, you have people like @papa-pepper who offered a bounty to be able to search a user's posts by tag.
https://steemit.com/bounty/@papa-pepper/the-steemian-username-tag-search-engine-500-sbd-bounty-paid
I've also tried coming up with a few additional things myself. Besides WhaleBoT, I also released the "Hide ReSteems" STEEMIT add-on (via TamperMonkey) that lets you toggle resteems on and off so you can more easily see a user's own posts on both people's feed and profile pages. I also have some ideas on how to possibly monetize beyond 7 days as well, that I have yet to post (as I'd like to also build a small demo first as a sort of "proof of concept").
And of course, it sounds like you've got quite a few more ideas there yourself, maybe you want to consider building a "cooler" interface as well! That's how I believe many of these other projects started out as well. :)
Yea, I'm optimistic from all the projects coming down the pipe. I think the Guild/Community ideas will help a great deal. Ultimately, I think people are aware of the issue, and in the long run, I definitely think they'll be corrected without the duct-tape.
As for building my own tools, time is the one currency that you can't get more of via upvotes. :D
I dunno, depends how much those "upvotes" are worth! Have you seen some of the payouts on @jesta's chainbb posts?! lol
