If you still don't know what WhaleShares is, it is a project from @OfficialFuzzy. WhaleShares is a token and these tokens have value and usage. Their ability is to be converted to a vote from a whale on post you can choose by yourself. 1 token is 1% of a whale vote. It could help minnows massively. No more of being depressed after you spent days on your amazing post, you put it on promotion tab and it still has been seen just by two people. Later, it will be possible to also be able to resteem your posts with WhaleShares - this could be great way how to promote your content!
People thinks that only way how to get some WhaleShares right now is to join the contests.
But if you are not good in:
- making a logo for WhaleShares: https://steemit.com/beyondbitcoin/@officialfuzzy/beyondbitcoin-bounties-whaleshares-logo-contest-round-1-3-1000-s-of-steem-in-prizes There will be next round soon!
Rapping: https://steemit.com/rapchallenge/@rondonson/are-you-a-rapper-on-steem-it-join-the-rap-challenge
Making a good meme: https://steemit.com/whaleshares/@jphenderson/meme-contest-submit-your-meme-for-a-chance-to-win-some-whaleshares
Writing about WhaleShares: https://steemit.com/whaleshares/@jphenderson/whaleshares-writing-contest-submit-your-article-for-a-chance-to-win-some-whaleshare-tokens
there is another way for you and it is a very simple one.

Sometimes Fuzzy comes and give everyone who who is active here some WhaleShares! Just by being a part of something bigger! That is pretty good deal as WhaleShares are pretty damn rare to get!
It is possible to get them on the BitShares exchange already, but who would sell something this rare for cheap? One WhaleShare is worth 50BTS now.

If you are 100% sure that you want to use them, it is a very easy process.
Go to http://whaleshares.net You dont have to use this site, but as it is said, this is a good site to avoid any mistakes! It is very important to have it correct. Do you want to upvote or downvote someone? Choose one.
What do you want to upvote/downvote? is it your post or someone elses? It is up to you. Copy the whole link.
You then see the memo which you will copy and use for your BitShare/OpenLedger transfer.
Now you need to open your BitShares/Openledger account and click transfer.
BitShare
OpenLedger
Now make sure you are sending it to the right person. It is WhaleShares, member #179419. Paste the memo and choose how many WhaleShares you want to use. 1 WhaleShares is 1% vote. The fee can be in WhaleShares or in BTS if you have them on your account.
BitShares
Completely same in OpenLedger
And that is it!
I hope this guide helps you and see you soon on discord!

So you could sell one WhaleShare for 20 BTS just 7 days ago? I just checked and the highest bid now is just 2 BTS. Is it because of BitShares succes in last couple days?

Yes you could do that if you had some in that time.
I think right now, as the whaleshares project is very new, the demand and supply is still trying to find the equlibrium. We are just getting started!

So 5 dollars = 50 bts = 1 whaleshare = 1 steem = 2.3 dollars...
Should I buy? I don't know

It is probably better to get whaleshares by being on discord or take a part in contests.
Till supply and demand are not met, the price will be very over-valued or very under-valued.

I saw a lot of people rant about Whaleshares, most famously @fyrstikken.
I am far too new to Steemit to judge the situation, but I tend to agree with the points he made. Nonetheless it is never bad to explain to the "common people" how something works, so I upvoted ;)

I don't know if that Whaleshares.net is working like it should in the lower memo it will only show "Invalid URL! This will not work!"
Is there any other tutorials? I just got 100WS today and I wanted to give it a little try... But I want to make sure I am doing it right.
