RE: Steem Basic Income FAQ Contest - 500 SBI in Prizes

in #contests6 years ago

For the bonus round...

The first is not intended to be in FAQ list but I thought it wouldbe good to have a website.

  • Can you have a website where I can refer to even in the future and not needing to search for very old posts?

  • Can I recall my sponsorship from someone whom I previously sponsored?

  • How is the weekly upvote rate computed?

  • Is there a way for me to know the upvote percentage from SBI based on the number of shares that I have?

  • Is it possible to transfer my shares, either all or partial, to someone else without refunding?

Sort:  

We are planning on a website, but it has not been a priority yet.

Recalling is a tricky area, because we are not able to audit whether units are related to swap agreements, contest prizes, etc. We would be willing to allow a third-party transfer request if the original sponsee has been blacklisted or is inactive for more than 100 days. It would be subject to the 25 unit transfer minimum though, and units can never be transferred back to their original sponsor.

Weekly upvote rate computations are based on rshares, and generally too advanced for the FAQ, which is intended to be a resource document. We will link to the post explaining the calculations.

Upvote percentage depends on factors that we don't have control over (like how often you post, and which account will have the highest VP at the time that you post). It is not possible for us (or anyone) to predict an upvote percentage in advance without these factors. Our !sbi update tools provide an estimate of your next upvote.

Unit transfers are covered in the refund policy. You can transfer, but there is a 25 unit minimum and none of the transferred units can be originally sponsor-paired with the account they are transferred to. (e.g. if they are sponsored by the account or originate from a transaction sponsoring the account).

These are mostly advanced questions, rather than frequently asked questions, but if there is sufficient demand we could add a bonus category for some of them.
