WhaleShares Logo Contest: Grand Finale Begins!
Whaleshares Logo Contest Finale
The competition has been fierce and the warriors have traveled across the interwebz to compete in an Epic Battle of the Arts. Though many masters have endured these trials (and indeed many have emerged winners in their own rite), I am sad to announce there can only be one Finale Winner.
What is WhaleShares?
Whaleshares is the design of @officialfuzzy to incorporate the first meta-token backed fully by Steempower (SP) and give users the ability to summon a whale to upvote their post by simply sending Whaleshares to the designated account(s). Think of it like DKP for Steem!
Why WhaleShares?
WhaleShares was meant to reduce friction and help end the rule of "upvote bots" on steemit and other static methods that completely take human interaction out of the equation. @officialfuzzy and the Beyond Bitcoin team believe in whales being benevolent sharers of their SP via the creation of an economic tool that promotes powering up and dissincentivizes powering down---THIS MAKES STEEM GO UP IN DEMAND AND PRICE!
We believe the Upvotes can be the basis for an informal economy based on the trust of a community and Beyond Bitcoin, as the community that inspired Steem's very creation, means to use this tool to empower the evolution of the community we all have grown to love. According to my calculations, my whaleshares token can pay out approximately 240k per year WITHOUT me powering down!
Why is WhaleShares important to Steem?
When you give the whales in the community an incentive to stop powering down and instead to leverage a Whale Token to build within our ecosystem, the possibilities for value creation are literally endless! Why power down to build value with your stake in Steem when you can Power it UP and earn the equivalence of 60% your SP value each year to give as rewards to prolific Content Creators and Community Leaders?
With this technology, whales will begin showing the true power of investing their hard earned wealth into the Steem Platform!
An Overview of the Contest..
We have accomplished a great deal with the resources earned from the last year of hangouts. Where once there was no funding to build, it turns out that our consistent unpaid efforts paid off with the creation of Steem and the subsequent showering of upvotes and support from a community we helped build. However, a quick visit to whaleshares.net will show that we still have lots of work to do beautifying our site. With that in mind, we thought what better way to introduce our new service than contests? Contests create a means of ensuring high quality content is rewarded with WhalePower!
