Greetings steemians! Today I am announcing another way for you minnows out there to get some whaleshare tokens--- a writing contest! For those of you not familiar with whaleshares you can read more about it here. Since we've been talking about it, people have been asking how they can get their hands on some of these tokens. Since they aren't being traded on the bitshares dex yet the only way to get them is through our contests and giveaways. So far, the only contests we've had are the logo contest and this one where the lovely and talented @patelincho has offered to buy the winner a full upvote. I have also donated enough to @the50's lottery announced here but we feel like that is not enough. So, with that in mind, I am announcing our first writing contest!
How to enter
To enter write a post on why you like the idea of whaleshares. As an image, choose your favorite entry from the official whaleshares logo contest and make sure whaleshares is the first tag. Then, upvote, resteem, and comment on this post with a link to your post and your bitshares or openledger username. The winners will be the 3 comments with the most upvotes. First prize will be 500 whaleshares, second prize is 300 whaleshares, and third prize is 100 whaleshares! Winner will be determined at this posts first payout in 7 days.
Official Discord Server
For those who don't already know, we have an official whaleshares discord server here: https://discord.gg/RRDzn6c. Join us for the latest news, contest announcements and to chat with your fellow steemians about anything and everything. The voice and text channels have been extremely active and they are a great place to converse with some of the best steemians on here. Hope to see you there! Happy steeming!

Right now @officialfuzzy is the only one set up for it while we're in beta. The bitshares account to send to is whaleshares. Are you familiar with the process of using them?

Great post! You need to edit your comment here by adding a space after the URL of your post because it makes it impossible to click the link BTW.

Very nice and very well written. Good luck. One thing I wanted to point out is that you don't upvote the whale's post... you copy the link to the post you want them to upvote and transfer the token to their bitshares account and they automatically upvote that post.
