Ahoi Members!

^{@make-a-whale is a community project to create a whale that constantly supports its feeders. You support it and it supports you. More details can be found here.}

^{To participate you need to post good original content, have a Reputation of 50+ and 500+ Steempower .}

Not accepting new members for now... Need to Beta test some more to see if the concept is viable.

Currently, we have 28 confirmed members and 2 waiting to get their Reputation up / waiting for Steem Power to reach 500.

Steemvoter to Streemian.

Since Steemvoter as failed us many times I feel we should move to another voting system. We currently have 3 options:

Streemians Fanbase Service.
Streemian Trailed Account.
Check in at least once a week and update the posts Steemvoter missed.

1. Streemians Fanbase Service.

This is very similar to Steemvoter. When you are you on Streemian web page navigate to SERVICES at the top and then to FANBASE. From there you can set up an account to vote on. I have not personally tested this so I have no idea how reliable it is. I will be testing it and would appreciate if other members could test it too and see how the votes go with the next MAW post.

Scratch the fanbase option, confirmed that's it not very reliable

2. Streemians Trailed Account

This option is also not extremely accurate but most of the time it does pretty good. This means we will make another account that everyone will follow on Streemian. That account will Upvote MAW's post once a day. So no need to worry that it will upvote or take more of you Voting Power. This will require everyone to have a Streemain account.

3. Check in once a week.

MAW has been keeping up with the upvotes going out and in order to keep sending out the upvotes you need to keep feeding MAW. Most of the members post daily and thus they are on Steemit daily. Checking in and quickly upvoting only takes a few seconds. It takes two to tango in this system. =) MAW keeps detailed tabs on each post and can track all the upvotes and at which weight they come in. We have missed 50+ upvotes and MAW really does not want to keep reminding members. We want to make it as smooth and as passive as possible. The manual voters are all legends and MAW appreciates checking in and upvoting.

What do you think members? Please let me know it the comments below.

Discord

We started a Discord channel and you can join by requesting the link from @scrooger or @gingerninja. It is a bit of a ghost town for now and we still need to add some life and tabs to it, all in good time. Come join in and say hello, make friends, share posts and have fun. Any feedback or concerns about the project can be directed to @scrooger on Discord.

Bot Help

Since the bot we were trying to run failed us it would be greatly appreciated if any of our members know how to code a Steemit bot or knows a friend please try and help out. We might have to build it from scratch. Shouldn't be too hard for someone with some coding experience. What we need is quite simple:

Upvote our feeders' newest post.
Timer for how long it must wait before the upvote goes out.
Be able to vote only once a day per member.
Have an adjustable Voting Weight.

If we can get this bot coded and sorted there might even be some compensation/reward. So please get in touch if you know someone who might be able to help with the coding.

Thank you for all your patience while we keep testing and perfecting the system.
