Steem Basic Income
Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content.
Helpful Resources
One of my top priorities in the last few months has been to simplify the onboarding into Steem Basic Income - to make coming to an understanding of what it is and how it works a lot easier. To that end, here is a summary of the helpful information that we have put together, in my preferred reading order.
Video Overviews
Actually published to dtube by @josephsavage, this is Josephs presentation on Steem Basic Income from Global Block Builders conference a few months ago.

Welcome to Steem Basic Income
This is our official welcome article that we now use in the memo for welcoming new members. It has been published in some languages, and we are looking to expand its reach even further (especially into languages that already have some of our earlier resources, as shown below). If you coordinated with me to translate this already and I missed your translation, please let me know and I will update this list.
| Original | Translation | Language |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome to Steem Basic Income | Benvenuti in Steem Basic Income!! ♨️ | Italian |
| Welcome to Steem Basic Income | Bienvenue chez Steem Basic Income ! | French |

Value Balances and Upvote Delivery
One of the most confusing things for new members is our upvote delivery system. Since most things on Steem operate on a daily or per-post basis, our system of storing balance and then delivering 'on demand' when a minimum level is reached is counter-intuitive. This article includes a good overview including great visual infographics.
As before (and with all resources on this page, aside from the video), if we missed yours or you have done other translation for us and want to do one of these articles, please let me know).

Frequently Asked Questions
With the basics covered, the Frequently Asked Questions provides a more complete overview and fills in a lot of potential gaps. It also has the most comprehensive translation coverage, because I had it translated before ongoing discussions revealed the gaps that were later covered in the above resources.
Transaction Memo Guidelines
There are two additional articles that were directly linked in the FAQ that I also consider to be extremely helpful. The first is the Transaction Memo Guidelines. The syntax is pretty forgiving, but I do still see regular errors that have to be fixed manually.
| Original | Translation | Language |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction Memo Guidelines | SteemBasicIncome 送金時マニュアル | Japanese |
| Transaction Memo Guidelines | Guía acerca de cómo escribir los memos en las transacciones de Steem Basic Income | Spanish |
Refund Policy
We updated our Refund Policy shortly after our automation release. Deliberately restrictive to protect sustainability and the subscription promotion service characteristics of our delivery method, it's critical information for anybody considering a substantial enrollment level.
| Original | Translation | Language |
|---|---|---|
| Refund Policy Redux | SBI - Política de Reembolso, atualizações (pt) | Portuguese |
| Refund Policy Redux | Política de Rembolso de Steem Basic Income (SBI) | Spanish |
Sustainability
Finally, each SBI unit is effectively backed by some level of SP (between 1 and 2 SP). The exact level is a function of our sustainability multiplier, which makes understanding our sustainability metrics pretty important to a full understanding of expected returns, along with how we would adapt to protocol-level changes.

Great introduction to all of the resources out there to bring people up to speed on SBI . Glad to have been introduced to the project.
Welcome aboard!
@steembasicincome? #sbi-skip
No English version?
I'm just looking for the Google Doc though, I'm trying to find out where my last regular unit sponsorships came from this past month :)
The Originals in the first column are the English version. The link to Google Doc is in the Discord in #read-me-first channel.
The link to the doc was also documented in a post I'm sure of it because that's where I first discovered it.
If that is the only place for it then I suggest it be put in the FAQ as more people are able to discover it then more people will make use of it. :)
Thank you for the Information. It is very useful.
Always thanks ! :) @steembasicincome for support Steem ♨ Life more Better ! 💙 ♩♬♬

I’ve been posting but haven’t been getting my votes 🗳...I got some when I started in the program.
Is there a reason I would no longer be receiving them?
Posted using Partiko iOS
You have only 1 unit subscription level. With the low STEEM price, 1 unit is only enough to support an upvote every few weeks.
4 units would get you up to once per week and 28 units would be enough for a daily upvote. We usually recommend a subscription of at least 40 units.
To clarify, I gain additional subscription units by sponsoring more members into the program, correct?
That is correct. Each time you sponsor somebody for SBI, you also get additional units added to your subscription.
Saludos @steembasicincome

I have a question as I am running an SBI giveaway right now. I don't want to do individual transaction, that would be so redundant. So, my question is how do i properly transfer to multiple people in one transaction? Can you please give me an example? Thank you.
This link will show you how.

But you can do a comma separated list, with the total amount of Steem necessary
Thanks. Highly appreciated.

This post is two years old, and refers to Steem rather than Hive. Is all of this still valid today?
And, if I understand correctly, I need to sponsor other members in order to become a member? That is a little confusing, but I think I get it? Where does the sponsorship go, then, exactly?
Watch me write my stupid questions out on the blockchain where they will be permanently there for all to see. Ha! Weird Al said, "Dare to be stupid," and I dare!
Each enrollment transaction creates dedicated support for two accounts: the sponsored account, and the enrolling account.
In effect, it's an account-based curation system. The sponsorship goes to support the account that you sponsor, and the support for your own account is paid for by the curation rewards we earn from supporting the account you sponsor.
Really cool project that someone sponsored me into and i intern sponsored others. Is it possible to see a tranaction list of who sponsored and who withdrew and the same for my sponsorship? As well as the payout over time?
It seems that the discord link in a few of the posts are not working.
Here is a current discord link:

We killed the old ones after a round of spambots discovered them.
This is not currently available, but it's in the feature list that we are working toward for out next update.
