Guardians of the Whaleshares Blockchain

After a successful migration to MainNet and Open BETA Launch, we are happy to report the Whaleshares blockchain is stable and all active witness nodes are running smoothly.

It's been a long journey and we are proud of each and every one of the initial witnesses that pushed through the ups and downs along the way. Over the last 30 days the core group of witnesses have truly come together to support one another with greater good of the project in mind.

We want to remind everyone how important it is to exercise your right to vote for witnesses, the Guardians of the Blockchain, that makes this type of decentralized social platform possible. We urge you to carefully consider your witnesses votes and reserve them for the people who are actively involved and engaged with the Whaleshares and Bitshares communities, people who truly have the best interests in the long-term viability of the platform at heart.

It is important to acknowledge the initial witnesses who put in the time, effort, and cost to support this project from the very beginning with TestNet1 though TestNet2 and now to MainNet with a record of their contributions in the Whaleshares Blockchain Archives:
In alphabetical order.
@artwhale-witness, @bushkill-witness, @blckchnd, @clockwork, @contests, @cyberdust, @intelliwitness, @jepu, @krazywitness, @nepd-witness, @powerpicswitness, @sahkan, @solaceworkshop, @startail, @whalebook

...and the more recent witnesses who help us transition from TestNet2 to MainNet:

@beyondbitcoincas, @black-man, @kennybll-witness, @yensesa-witness

...and a final acknowledgement to our main dev @baabeetaa for supporting the backup initminer nodes that kept the blockchain stable through the initial transitions.

Thank you to all of you!


Open Call for Whaleshares Witnesses

At this time we would like to send an open invitation to anyone in the Whaleshares and Bitshares communities with the technical background and willingness to help support our growing blockchain and platform.

We are looking for dedicated people who will put in the time, energy, effort, and resources to maintain a stable network and work together in an open, friendly, and cooperative manner with our current team of witnesses. You must have the best interest of the project and community in mind.

We have created a witness setup guide and provided open resources for those looking to build from code.

📁 GitLab Witness/Node Repository
📋 GitLab Tags - Always check before building

📝Witness Setup Guide v2.4 - Dockerized File Setup
Please Note: The most recent files and guides will be available in our discord witness channel.

If you have any questions, need assistance, or once you have setup your node, please join us in the Official Whaleshares Discord to connect with the growing witness team. All official communications, updates, and consensus agreements will be coordinated through the witness channel in discord.

Be sure to contact one of the Admins to be given access to the witness channel once your witness is up and running, stable, and producing blocks.
