How do we know if we're a Minnow, Dolphin, Orca or a Whale? Here's the breakdown, charts + info / resources that helps the newer user here.
I am not a fan of "Class Distinction" in life, but the terms are used so much here, you need to understand them.
Your "status" is DIRECTLY related to how many VESTS you have:
Plankton = up to 1 MVESTS aka Newbie/User on the charts below
Minnow = >1 to 10 MVESTS aka SuperUser " " "
Dolphin = >10 to 100 MVESTS aka Hero " " "
Orca = >100 to 1,000 MVESTS aka SuperHero " "
Whale = >1,000 MVESTS aka Legend " "
The easiest way to remember this might be to think of MVests (million-vests) as Steem Power - they are directly correlated if you look at the 2 sets of numbers. Further, at the end of this post, I dug up a post from a year ago, just after launch from founder @ned on it also.
You can check your Vests on Steemd.com, just type Steemd.com/@YourUserName & the Vests will show up on the page there for you, currently sitting on the top-right of the page (April 2017, unless they change the layout)
At TOW this, to help you out so you know what you are looking at there - my Vests are at 23.23 Million, and I have 11,177.290 Steem Power. (April 3, 2017)
Vests are something like a STEEM Power Satoshi unit, of sorts, if you know a bit about Crypto and the decimal places.
For example, this link will take you to mine to have a look, if you like. Then just delete my name off the end of the url and type in yours --- make sure you leave the "@" symbol in there.

VESTS WILL BE HEREBY REFERRED TO AS STEEM POWER (SP) and moving from Steem to Steem Power will be referred to as “powering up”; moving from Steem Power to Steem referred to as “powering down.” For example, one can power down their Steem over a period of two years, (( NOTE/EDIT-- this period is now 13 weeks as of platform changes late 2016 -- Barry )) yet one can power up their Steem instantly. Powering up your Steem has several benefits, including automatic and recurring Steem rewards. Additionally, Steem Power gives you voting power, which allows you to earn by casting votes on Steem, and because of this, Steem Power gives you the ability to earn more Steem Power and Steem Dollars.
