Whalecoin is a decentralized social network that supports several types of roles and notably the “Whale” role which is given to any user who holds at least 1,000 tokens. Whales have the power to send upvotes to other users. The Whalecoin is a Proof of Work cryptocurrency based on the Ethash algorithm.  The Whalecoin blockchain will pay users a portion of the mined block reward based on how many upvotes a user receives from the Whales.
