Fellow Whaleshares Community,

Of all steemit-like platforms i've been, i exclusively give regards to Whaleshares. Back in 2017, i was invited by @akrid to join his first ever show on whaleshares discord. It was somewhat a big task for me and i saw it with too much technicalities though i attended several of his shows. I love simple system with less or no complex structure - a more reason i back off a bit from EOS.
Few of us with knowledge of how EOS work may want to say something related to my affirmation. Few days ago, @stevenmosoes engaged me to check out what whaleshares has to offer, when i came on-board, i realised i've been missing out on a lot of goodies. Reading through what whaleshares entails, maybe you're aren't aware, i found its concept different entirely from that of steemit even though they've got similar interface.

Who Are Block-Producers/Witnesses?

Whaleshares is community-driven ecosystem. A lot of people on the other side wants where they can cheat, control and manipulate things to their advantage. But whaleshares doesn't allow for such. Here, everyone is regarded as a whale. Nevertheless, a system is regarded as a blockchain where there several network miners whose existences are paramount to sustainability of the chain.

They are called Witnesses/Block-producers. Like a CCTV they are the eyes of the chain and to be active to keep the system healthy.


Witness Voting

Their functions include but not limited to Maintenance of Nodes, approving account creation through consensus, signing and approving transactions among others. Since i grabbed the gist about whaleshares, I pinned in my head how important they are to the community. Ever since i began creating and sharing, I notice the activities of whales/witnesses in the community. Their interactions are quite encouraging to me. I feel like the community cares about me. Been on whaleshares discord talk twice, i have met some of them on mic. I felt very much happy seeing them planning all the time, engaging the community to contribute through suggestions and questions. This got me checking on the witnesses. I walked some steps down the hill to see their imparts. And here are some i saw their influences on the community, though few of them i've encountered. So I decided to cast my vote for them.

Vote Your Witness (es)

This platform recognises the power of the people. Everyone is given the chance to exercise his power which rests solely on appointing and voting out witnesses. It is important that we all understand why we are voting for them hence i made this post. It would be unfair seeing active and helpful witnesses getting less support from the community they give their best to. A lot of them have been doing great. So it is our turn to give them our support.

Note: Voting is at your discretion. You might have come across one or more of the ones i voted above and benefited from them, so cast your vote. It is very simple to do, less than a minutes task. Click https://whaleshares.io/~witnesses. It opens a page with list of available witnesses. You will need your active key to complete the first vote if you have only logged in with your posting key. Subsequent vote will not ask you for active key only if you haven't log out or close your browser.

If you do not have that much time to do rigorous research on active witnesses, i will recommend the following for you.

Setting A Proxy

Sometimes we find it somewhat difficult to decide who be the good man. You might want to be sure of giving your vote to who deserves it. Here the role of a proxy comes to play. He/she votes on your behalf. To choose a proxy, like in the image below, type in the box the proxy name and hit the setproxy button. In this instance, i have used @black-man as my proxy.


This task i have decided to run every week. There will be a weekly giveaway/contest for another activity in the like manner i hope to introduce which depends largely on if i find sponsor (s) .

Sponsorship


Sponsorship for this activity and future one (s) will be appreciated.

Kindly contact me on Discord (Bobelr #8524) if you would like to support/sponsor it

I remain loyal. Your @Bobelr
