The time has come once again to announce our latest edition of the minnow support contest. This is possibly my favorite contest that we run as it really helps new people get established and excited when joining Steemit. We've met some really good steemians through this contest already and it will only get better. This time we have had to adjust the prizes in accordance with the effects of Hard Fork 19. While the amount of whaleshares the winners will receive will be lower, the amount they add to your post payout are still higher.
Speaking of new users, our Discord server has been growing by leaps and bounds. We've had about 100 new users just in the past 24 hours! The more people that we get the more fun it gets too. It has been nonstop laughs 24-7 these days and the best part is there has been absolutely 0 drama! Speaking of our Discord server, be sure to check out the contest I posted yesterday to see how you can win some whaleshares just by hanging out. Also, be sure not to miss the official Whaleshares Hangout starting this Sunday at 7:00 pm on the Beyond Bitcoin Mumble server. Details of joining that are here
Ok, on to this contest. The rules are the same as last time with only a couple differences. To enter find the best post you can find by someone with less than 1000 steem power and post a link in the comments. Our illustrious panel of judges will select our 4 favorites at post payout and both the author of the posts and the people who nominated them will receive 25 whaleshares apiece. Each user may only nominate one post. Good luck and happy steeming!
These tokens are on BitShares! So make sure you have a BitShares Wallet to receive and send them for upvotes on your steem posts!

Can somebody explain me this whaleshare deal???? I have been trying for a week, I don't get this thing.
Pop in to the discord and we'd be happy to explain in great detail.
Basically... win or buy whaleshares tokens. Each can be used for %1 of an upvote by a whale on steemit.
Please join this discord server for more info. If you are a minnow, you should certainly join this and understand it.

I did a week ago, people can't explain anything
come online on discord, we we'll explain you.
wow, you call me to discord and be total jerk to me, and don't explain anything. WTF was that? That wasn't cool.
I tried to send you a guide (not faq) which fully explained about whaleshares. But you surely don't know how to talk to people who are trying to help you. You want to be spoon fed, that's not possible. If you had read that, you would have known what wonders whaleshares can do for you. But, well now I can not help you more. Enjoy!
if you were sharing guide you could have just posted link. You weren't gonna help anyway, if you were you would have done it already. Anyway, good luck to you. Don't worry I won't compete for your whaleshares. I don't get it anyway.
I'd like to nominate this post by @patriot on building a solar car:

Thanks Walrus!
This guy looks like he could genuinely use a break. I think it would be really cool if we were able to help him out. He's having some bad luck it seems.

I'd like to nominate https://steemit.com/art/@mindboggle/lights-of-night-life-at-dusk for the contest. The author makes an amzing combination of painting and writing in her blog posts and that too without any dragging of the subject. Seems like someone who needs some recognition
You win! Leave me your bitshares/openledger username and I will send your whaleshares!

I nominate this post:
It has got already a lot of upvotes, but that's because it is so good, the user doesn't have almost any followers or steem power though https://steemit.com/music/@shakazula/finger-drumming-on-a-mounain-top-d
You win! Leave me your bitshares/openledger username and I will send your whaleshares!
