Wow. I didn't know about all of this. I'd really love to reach that level where I can obtain great curation rewards and give out vote as well because my voting power is still quite low.
Thanks a lot for this anyways. But which authors are called whales? Is it that each reputation has different names? And how do you obtain leases?
You will have to sacrifice a lot to get there.
Whales are those with 500,000 Hive Power and above. To obtain lease then you go to dlease.io
