RE: How Steemy is Whaleshares - A Guide for Steemians
Hey, that's why you haven't been around that much. I better check whaleshares then. Thank you for this!

Yes that is right, sorry for that. There is more life in the community on whaleshares than here on Steemit. I am still around but pretty busy on discord as well.
You should check it out if you haven't done this already. There is a new signup tool online you could be writing your introduction post in a day. Hope to see you there.
I'm having multiple issues at the same time, for instance my computer doesn't want to work with me all the time, and of course the "where to find an extra hour or two to a day" problem. Yesterday I made it to the point where I validated my e-mail and got stuck with the fact that I don't have a Bitshares account and the fact that I would have had to come up with a convincing introduction post right there and then. I just wanted to look around a bit first.
But hey, some day. Some day. :)
Nah, you don't need a complete introduction. Just say you know me, and that I am driving you crazy because I want you to join. You can also mention your Steemit account so they have an idea of what you are up to.
This signup system is actually pretty neat. There is a team that came up with the idea of Whaleshares and there is a team that is actively building it. In the future, more and more of what is being build will be handed over to the community. There is no Ned or Dan who is going to decide what will happen to the platform, the community will decide on that.
This signup procedure is a first step in handing over de system. We want to verify you are a human being, that is what the bitshares account is for. It may not be perfect but it is something. You can signup at bitshares for free.
Once you have send your request, it will endup in a queue, the top 20 witnesses will take a look at your request and validate it, I am not sure about the exact number but let's say it needs two validations. When that is done, you receive an email with info to create your actual account.
On Whaleshares it is pretty important to use your witness votes correctly so the right people end up in that top 20. There are already great people there, but I hope there is room for my name some day. My witness server seems to be running pretty smoothly so far.
There is another reason for signing up with bitshares. When you win a contest, or get a gift from someone, you will receive tokens, these tokens will be send to your bitshares account. You can then decide to use the tokens to increase the payout of one of your posts.
More and more people from Steemit are coming over. It is a real nice place to be. If you have time to join the Discord server you will have even more fun. Really hope to see you there soon. We could use your humor.
Thank you for this extra explanation. :)
It is good to have friends in high places! :) And when I join, you will definitely be on my witness list! Now I just have to find some extra time.
Once you are infected with the Whaleshares virus, you may just switch platforms instead of needing more time :)
Know that you are welcome at any time. Also know that I can reward you way better over there :)
Did it. I said you forced me. :D
I just noticed you voted for me as witness. YEAH! you made it, great to have you on board. Start writing that introduction post (use the introduceyourself tag), so I can reward you.
Done. :)
