Member Upvotes Provide Sustainability

[steembasicincome]

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 regular upvotes to member content.

FAQ Contest Reminder

It's not too late to submit your question responses for our FAQ contest:
Steem Basic Income FAQ Contest - 500 SBI in Prizes

Remember you can also score contest points by scoring each qualifying response with a helpfulness/clarity score. Get out there and score the responses that you think are most helpful and clear!

Upvoting Bonuses

Each time we receive author rewards for a post or comment by any official SBI account, we check the value that each member added to the reward. That value will be added to the member's balance, with a multiplier of 1.34x.

For example, if you upvote us by $0.10, then $0.134 would be added to your balance when the post pays out. This would result in you receiving $0.10 back, even after curation rewards. In most cases, this means that a vote for SBI is more profitable than a self-vote. You are rewarded directly for your contribution to the long-term sustainability of the program! You do still have to be enrolled in @steembasicincome to receive this benefit.

This is a great way to boost the voting power for program accounts. If your program does any self-voting to build a permanent SP base, consider upvoting @steembasicincome each day instead.

Continuous Growth

We have ten voting accounts, so your upvotes could come from @steembasicincome, @sbi2, @sbi3, @sbi4, @sbi5, @sbi6, @sbi7, @sbi8, @sbi9 or @sbi10. Our automated system dynamically selects the best account to deliver your upvote at the time of upvote delivery.

We currently have 4235 members that have posted or commented within the last 28 days. Members that are not posting continue to accrue their voting balance, and upvotes will resume automatically when they return. There are currently 115029 subscribed units in the program, and it grows every day.

Support from Members

Thank you all for your support! Upvotes that we receive from members are an essential component to keep delivering a sustainable basic income! Our base SP growth is still partially dependent on our small self-voting percentage, but we hope to decrease that dependency as more members recognize the benefits to increasing their auto-votes under the new rewards system.

We aim to post once per day, but you should set your auto-voters at a 2 per day limit to avoid missing some of our updates due to time zone differences.

You've seen the chart of upvotes received, but how does that drive sustainability? Here are our SP rewards received over the last 28 days:

Enrollment

If you want to get involved, or to increase the share of basic income that you receive, enrollment is pretty straightforward:

Just send 1 STEEM to @steembasicincome. Include the name of a Steemian to sponsor in the transaction memo (preceded by @). You and the person you sponsor will each receive 1 unit in the program. You can sponsor any active Steemian, it does not have to be a current member.

If you're unclear, please check out our full transaction memo guidelines and then let us know if you have any questions.
https://steemit.com/busy/@steembasicincome/steem-basic-income-updated-transaction-memo-guidelines

The official currency for enrollment is STEEM. If we choose to accept SBD without refunding it, you do not receive extra value for it.

Enrollments are processed automatically every 144 minutes. Confirmation transactions are still manual and typically are sent within 2-3 days. Even if you have not received a welcome transaction, you can check your status using !sbi status in any post or comment.

@steembasicincome Sorry for random question, is there any upper limit of SBI units an account may have?

[steembasicincome]

Soft limit of 5% of total subscribed units. Since the total is given in the post as 115029, the current subscription limit an account may have is 5751. The closest account to that limit is @eturnerx, with 4591.

[wonderwop]

Looking good SBI 👍👍

[sbi-booster]

Just wait until you see next week! We just got an amazing delegation from @amico.

[newageinv]

These recent changes have been great for those actively engaging across the ecosystem! I am loving seeing the impact the project has had and want to continue to influence and grow given the opportunity. I need to catch up and make some tweaks to my behavior with the community and give more sponsorships!

[sbi-booster]

Your pending vote value is tracked in rshares (shown in the second bullet point in the status response). This grows at a steady rate, based on your subscription level.

When you upvote our posts/comments, your upvotes increase your pending value by 1.34 * value of your upvote. So if you upvote the post by $0.01, your pending value will increase by $0.0134 when that post pays out.

Each time you post, you will get an upvote of 20% of your pending value, as long as your total pending value is high enough for that to exceed the minimum upvote amount of ~ $0.011.
