Hive Whale - Make it spray and get your badge!

avatar

For all those who have forgotten or those who do not know it yet, there is a life-size Hive whale that sails in the waters of the harbor of Harlingen (The Netherlands)

Hive Whale, a project initiated by @roelandp, aims to add a fun atmosphere to the harbor promenade, to support oceans preservation projects and to promote awareness of the Hive blockchain by associating the whale activity with it.

You will find all the details about the project in this post.

HiveBuzz to support the project

All the objectives and values described above are in perfect agreement with those of our own project. Therefore, we decided to support @roelandp's initiative and make it even more fun by creating a new badge that you can easily get:

How to get your Hive Whale badge

Go to https://hivewhale.com and donate at least 1 HIVE or 1 HBD to @whalefountain.

In addition to seeing the whale thanking you by making a powerful and generous spray, you will also receive your Hive Whale badge in your Hivebuzz board.

A tangible proof of your participation in the preservation of the oceans!

Make it spray!

Note: beware that the Hive Whale operates between 09:30 and 21:30 (CEST).
As days get shorter the whale will go into sleep mode once dusk has set.

HiveBuzz is a project created by @arcange

My name is RoelandP and I endorse this message.

FYI: the whale also thanks you with a Video-to-GIF-recording of your spray!

You need to stake more BEER (24 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)

Unfortunately no, we do not process previous transactions.
You will have to make it spray again 😉

Actually, badges are just for fun. In the long term, we plan to creator more challenged with reward pool.
To help us implement this, it would be very appreciated if you could support our proposal!

Yay! I finally caught the whale when it wasn't dark out...lol! And holy cannoli, Batman - that was quick! The ink had barely dried on my GIF when I noticed my badge was already awarded - nicely done, @hivebuzz!

(also, is there a way to save the actual gif? I was only able to grab the still... it's probably something obvious I'm missing... 😜

You made it while the whale was in sleep mode. You will have to redo it to get your badge 😅

@hivebuzz @roelandp ~ I did a spray a month ago to celebrate my 3rd anniversary on the blockchain. I was able to see the spray on the webcam (yay!). I never got the badge, though.

Also, the website https://hivewhale.com had a listing of all the people who had recently paid for a spray, which I thought was cool, and the GIFs of their sprays were there underneath. I refreshed the page a couple of times to see my GIF added to the gallery, but it never was added. Shortly afterwards, the website seems to have changed and none of the listings or GIFs are there any more. I thought maybe the website was being rewritten, so I said nothing, but it is still that way, a month later. What happened to the GIFs and the list of 'Recent Sprays?' 😕

Here is my transaction:

The whale is awesome! I did an online search and read about it and the other whales that are part of the same art project! It's a fabulous initiative! 😃

the website should still be updated to support after HF24... thx for pointing out. It's unfortunate but true that due to Hardfork there had been some issues with HiveWhale (me lagging to update the script)

I will lookup your donation and refund right away.

Also,.... Unfortunately you have to wait to Northern Hemisphere spring again, as the Whalefountain is now out of order: In hibernation across winter, to preserver the internals for the rough seas (even in the harbour).

Sorry for the inconvenience, and asking some patience for you to retry the Hivewhale next year when it comes out of it's wintersleep again :)
