FAQ Contest
For the first time ever, Steem Basic Income will do a massive contest of its own, with a pool of 500 bonus units available as prizes. (These bonus units will come out of the available pool of management units.)
Earn points for contributing to a crowd-sourced FAQ! Win SBI bonus units based on the number of points you earn. You do not have to be an SBI member already to participate.
This post contains questions that come from our previous FAQ that was published 9 months ago here:
https://steemit.com/steembasicincome/@steembasicincome/steem-basic-income-frequently-asked-questions
- Each of the FAQ questions will be repeated as a top-level comment on this post.
- Submit your clear, accurate answer as a comment in response to the appropriate question.
- You can answer as many questions as you would like.
- @josephsavage will mark each response as accurate (qualifying) or inaccurate (not qualifying).
- If your response is inaccurate, comments for why the answer is not fully accurate will be included, and you can resubmit a revised response.
- You can score each qualifying response (but not your own) for clarity from 1 (not clear or helpful) to 7 (very clear and helpful).
- For bonus points, you may also explain why you gave the score you did.
Categories:
Each FAQ question will be its own category, with answers to it scored separately.
Bonus categories:
Do you think we missed a question that should be answered in the FAQ? Share your Question that you think should be included. If enough members reply that it should be included (or provide answers to the question as provisional contest entries), the question will be officially marked as an additional category.
Points:
Each qualifying answer will receive (up to 7) points based on the average clarity score it receives. Winning answers may be included in the final FAQ.
Participants can receive 1 point for each answer they score, and 2 bonus points if they explain their score. Unexplained scores may be discarded (no points) if @josephsavage has doubts about their authenticity.
If you submit a new question that receives at least 5 supporting comments (agreement that the question should be answered in the FAQ), you will get 4 points for 'creating' the new category, but only if the category receives at least two response submissions. If multiple members submit similar questions, the 4 bonus points will be split among those members at @josephsavage's discretion.
Infographics:
Questions that receive responses with good explanatory infographics can have a regular winner and an infographics winner. The same participant can win written response and infographic points for the same question.
Winners:
Total points will be tallied for each member. The prize pool of 500 bonus SBI units will distributed proportionally to the top 50 participants, based on their total point distribution.
Helpful Hints:
Read the 'Vote Value in Steem Basic Income' series (see helpful reading below). Many of the documents in Helpful Reading may be considered useful. Some things have changed over time. If you see conflicting information, consider the newest resource or explanation to be definitive (or cite both versions in Discord and ask us for clarification).
Write your own answers. If your answer is copy-pasted from previous FAQ, from a Helpful Reading article, or from another member submission, it will be disqualified. Multiple attempts to submit plagiarized responses may result in full disqualification (no points, even from scoring other responses).
Submit your answer to each question as a response to the comment announcing that question category. Links to posts will not be considered valid entries. After you have submitted your answers and had them accepted as accurate, it's a good idea to do your own post telling your followers about the contest, sharing your answers, and reminding them to come enter the contest too!
Deadlines:
Answers are due before payout for this contest announcement. Bonus category answers are due when the top-level comment opening the question as a bonus category reaches payout. Clarity scores are due when the comment from @josephsavage (or @sbi-booster) accepting the response as a qualifying entry pays out.
Effectively, every qualifying answer gets a full week from acceptance for members to score that answer. Keep checking back to see if you can get more points from scoring answers that come in close to deadline!
Points will be finalized after the last qualifying comment submissions reach their deadline.

What is your refund policy? Can I sell back my units?
SBI has had a number of refund frameworks since our inception, and our intent has always been the complete satisfaction of our subscribers. Currently our most comprehensive refund policy yet, which is available to read in full, refunds units through an accelerated upvote schedule. The refund process is final.

While it doesn't give a short summary about the refund policy this answer is so well written and I don't mind this is the one put on the final version.
Accurate. Response accepted as a qualifying submission.

In my humblest of opinions, all links should be relative, like the one in my answer above, and should not point to any specific front end such as steemit, busy or steempeak.
It should be within the technical capability of each condenser to scrub leading characters for any Steem permlink and replace with their own while rendering the page (e.g. Steempeak can replace all Steemit links with Steempeak links). My understanding is that Steemit does not do this (and does not render permlinks without the leading domain as valid links) so we try to use steemit links for our readers to have a better overall user experience.
That said, we usually post our updates through busy.
This is a really interesting answer!
Rating 6 - Happy with this answer and a link in the FAQ, the policy is complex and too much for a simple answer. This does the job.
I rate this a 6 - I would probably be happier if I didn't have to click a link to read more.

6 clarity point
The user needs to go to the link to know about the refund policy but this answer reads so nicely and it's good.
For eligible accounts, the new refund framework will keep enrolled units at a 2 STEEM potential value but will grant a 0.50 STEEM potential to all sponsored units. In effect, the total potential ROI under this framework is 250% for each 1 STEEM enrollment. Refunds would be delivered through an accelerated upvote schedule:
Since our system tracks pending upvote values using rshares, we will deliver the accelerated upvotes through our normal delivery system, by manually removing your units from record and increasing your rshares_balance with any surplus value you are due.

Good job on the summary, this isn't an easy one!

The refund policy is pretty difficult to summarize in a few words but you can read the lastest version of it on this post; https://steemit.com/busy/@steembasicincome/sbi-refund-policy-redux
NB: I have my reservations about embedding links for public purposes. Some noobs would not click on embedded links with the fear of it being phishing.

Summarizing with our own words is better than just putting a link to sendusers to. While I agree that it's hard to summarize it well. Saying it's hard to summarize refund policy of all things on FAQ answer doesn't sound encouraging for potential user, does it?

You mean sell your units back to @steembasicincome? I guess I am not clear with this second question.
Rating 6
A great attempt to summarize this stuff. This category isn't the easiest of the bunch.
Accurate. It's okay to be confused by the second question. The answer is no, because units represent a subscription level. Would you call a magazine and ask them to by back your subscription? It would be a ridiculous question.
The question comes from some members getting confused and thinking our shares are an unregistered security instead of a subscription (which would be something you could own and sell back). This is why we are moving toward saying 'units' or 'SBI levels' instead of 'shares', but every term is awkward in it's own unique way.

Accurate. We have had only one refund request since bringing everyone's attention to the available options. Response accepted as a qualifying submission.
Don't forget you can also earn points by scoring the clarity and helpfulness of other qualifying responses.
Rating 5 - contains more detail than other answers, wording is difficult to follow. Focusing only on 250% potential ROI is oversimplifying the policy, as it could appear from this that you could send 1 steem and then get a refund of 2.5. the policy is much more complex than that.
I give you a 6. Simply explains the policy but in a complex way.

Good attempt to summarize the post! I thinks it's funny there are 3 points of answer when there's only 2 questions...

I’m hosting a giveaway contest. Do you have a banner I can use?
We think that the best banner to be used is the one made by yourself, expressing your own creativity.
(For example, this is my last self-made banner created with canva.com: I hope it could inspire you! ;) )
Is this one that others are also free to use? I was just reading your latest giveaway post, and thinking that I should do some SBI giveaways on my Actifit updates too (maybe that will motivate me to actually use actifit a little more).
OH YEAH! :)

If this is a free to use banner I give it a 7. ;)
Yes, it’s free to use, simply mentioning @amico as creator. 🙏🏼

Rating 6 - there are other banners to use, but marks because I love the banner itself. Maybe a tiny suggestion my friend would be to change "share" to "unit" to fit in with SBI's preferred terminology. Well done @amico.
Oh, thank you very much for the suggestion and for the rating, mate! ;)
5 clarity point
I think this question exists so the user can use a template/standard banner instead of making it themselves and I believe the SBI team has one for asking us to answer this question... The better answer would be a layout for SBI to put that banner. Inspiring users to use their creativity is still nice.

While self-made banner is ideal, I think this question is on the FAQ because the team has made a banner to be readily used by the users on the FAQ. Giving an example nice though.

What are the different types of units?
There are two types of shares that are relevant for all participants of SBI:
Both types give equal benefits in upvotes.
I suggest to replace "units" to "shares" in the question. "shares" is more unique and identifiable term for a basic income program and it's more consistent with explanations from all participants on this whole contest.

Accurate. Management units (created at level of 5% of standard units) are also counted as bonus units. The prizes from this contest will be management units (bonus units), but they will be perpetual like regular units instead of dependent on delegation.
We are actually trying to move away from 'shares' as an SBI term to prevent our program from being misconstrued as an unlisted security. We originally said 'share' as shorthand for 'share of our voting power', but there has been some confusion around it.

Perfect answer.
Units is the more preferable term to use because potential legal issues cmiiw.
I suppose units also mean shares? If yes, then here we go...
Standard share: This is what you get when you sponsor someone.
Bonus share: This is temporary reward for delegation.
Management share: As the term implies, this is for the management team and set at 5% of the existing shares.
Temp shares: Management share that are temporarily awarded to members who help improve the program.
Accurate. Technically management units and temporary units still exist, but our database groups them with bonus units, which is why I am also accepting simplified responses that only have the first two categories.

The one we get from getting sponsored is also the standard share...
There are 3 main types of units in SBI.
Type 1. Standard units.
These are the most common and are allocated as 2 units per STEEM. 1 is alocated to the account paying the STEEM, and 1 is allocated to the account sponsored by the payer.
Type 2. Bonus Units.
These are allocated to those that delegate STEEM Power to SBI. 1 unit is granted for every 2 SP you delegate. These units remain in place while the delegation remains.
Type 3. Management Units.
These are allocated to the SBI management and writting team. There are also "Temporary units" which are these management units that get allocated temporarily to another user.

There are a few types of shares that Steem Basic Income uses.
Accurate. Very comprehensive, too! We only differentiate between standard (enrolled) shares and sponsored shares with respect to the refund policy. For all other purposes they are treated the same.
rshares are a whole separate deal... you do earn rshares by upvoting posts by @steembasicincome (the rshares value of your upvote * 1.34) but you also earn rshares at a fixed rate based on your SBI units (each unit earns 800M rshares per day) I was planning to leave rshares out of the FAQ as a more advanced topic, but there has been some call for clarity around them, so it will probably be broken out into a separate question (bonus category!)

Short and precise answer... Uses shares instead of units though.
We typically refer to 1 as 'standard' or just 'SBI'.
2 are not available through upvotes anymore, as that system was not as sustainable and we have shifted to upvote multipliers instead of bonus units as reward for upvotes.
You are welcome to edit your submission and I will review again (or you can resubmit if your edit is substantial.)
Rating 5 - a good effort but some terminology is not the current prefered usage.

"Lasting shares" isn't the preferred way we call the "standard units" or "SBI units". Looks like good effort in explaining.

Category 10:
If I upvote @steembasicincome, do I get anything?
Yes. Each time you upvote a post or comment from the @steembasicincome accounts (@steembasicincome, @sbi2, @sbi3, @sbi4, @sbi5, @sbi6, @sbi7, @sbi8, @sbi9, @sbi10) the rshares value of that vote is multiplied by 1.34 and added to your vote balance. This means you are getting the full value of your vote added to your account even after the 25% curation is removed.
Example: 1.00 vote x 1.34 = 1.34 added to account. The 1.34 vote back to you is worth 1.34 x 0.75 = 1.005 returned to you. Added bonus you should get some curation on the vote given to SBI meaning all votes given to SBI should be profitable to you.

Firstly, upvoting @steembasicincome helps to contribute to the sustainability of the program. This importantly helps protect the value and longevity of your investment in units, and helps sustain the flow of benefits to the overall SBI community.
Secondly, the value of your vote is multiplied by 1.34 and added to your "account" to add to your future votes received from the SBI program. The multiplier is in place to cover curation.

Yes. Before mentioning any math, I would like to mention about a different program which I used to upvote. What happened then? The project owner gave me sponsorship because he thought that those who upvotes his program's account post are those who believe and support the program. I believe that should be the same case for @steembasicincome that any upvotes to their post will help the program going and growing, thus will continue to give upvotes out.
Regarding number values, your upvote to any @steembasicincome and its relative accounts (@sbi2, @sbi3, etc.) can become a 1.25 to 1.35 multiplier to the upvote value for your posts.
This is actually our old system. The Vote Values Part Three has a summary of the new system, although we later boosted the multiplier from 1.25 to 1.34x, where it is now.

If you upvote posts from @steembasicincome you get rshares added to your SBI balance according to the upvote weight multiplied by 1.34. This is better than upvoting yourself in the long term!

Outdated, not specific enough.
Technically Accurate. Response accepted as a qualifying submission.
There are not static pool assignments anymore, and the voting account for each upvote is dynamically selected when that upvote is delivered. It uses the highest VP account that can deliver the full upvote, and we are gradually scaling the accounts onto a fitted SP curve so that eventually members will mostly be upvoted by the same account every time and increasing your units, upvote multipliers, etc. will move you up the SP curve to be voted by a bigger account.

Yes, a million times yes. It is to your benefit that you do so and it helps keep SBI sustainable and help them grows as well. Screw it, setting up an autovote through Steemauto through the “Curation Trail” will help you yield an upvote bonus. So they are rewarding you for your loyalty and generosity. To go and reference what I posted in Category 9:
Rating 4
Informal and unsuitable for FAQ. Steemauto curation trail has nothing to do at all with this.
I accepted before where the reference to Overview post was more of a footnote, but on this question that is specifically about the upvote bonuses, the Complete Overview contains outdated information, so the reference to it makes the response technically wrong.

Thank you for explaining I have updated and love taking part in this I am learning things I didn't know.
Rating 6 - the multiplier is fixed as i understand at 1.34, not a range. A good attempt at simplifying the Rshares topic.
Edit
Rating change to 7 - with the edits, I like this answer now.
I will need to have him confirm that cause they reason I changed to a range today was that @sbi-booster told @macoolette above that it was a range. I will also look into that because everything I found said it was 1.34 now but in that comment he said it was that range.
It was 1.25, but it was boosted to 1.34x. We could see how this might be incorrectly interpreted as a range and we accepted her modified response (and yours) because the current (fixed) value is within that range.
When we say technically accurate instead of just accurate, it's usually because we interpret the wording as being correct, but potentially confusing. These responses could still win (because the clarity/helpfulness ratings are up to the participants) but we might tweak the wording a little before including in the new FAQ. (i.e. i could say 'from 1.25 to 1.40 and it would be technically accurate because 1.34 is within that range, but just 1.34 is more accurate because it's not actually a range)
We originally announced at 1.25x and it was at that level for a few hours after our initial release. I had a conversation that day with @thedarkhorse from @pifc and @minnowbuilder about the calculation and its intent. From that conversation I realized that for the multiplier to work as intended, it actually needed to be 1.34x. I updated our configuration file and it has been set at 1.34x since.
Thank you for explaining that. I have changed it to show the correct 1.34 again.
That was super fast! You got to it before I finished with the @sbi-booster replies and moved on to the @steembasicincome replies that have not been reviewed yet.
This is a 6. An example would have made it perfect as it would provide more clarifications.

"Bonus units" and "market orders" may need to be given short explanation. Other than that it's clear and bringing up Minnowbooster market order might be helpful so users don't mistake delegating via MB also gets bonus shares.
@fuadsm let me know what you think of the changes. IMO anyone that is leasing SP on minnowbooster should know what the term Market Order means and those who aren't don't need a long explanition about it. But did clean it up a little. As for Bonus Shares, I included that it should be linked to as there is no reason to repeat what is already covered in another bullet point of the FAQ.

Explanation about delegation via MB are missing on other answers. Good job for that as many will think they would get double benefit (MB APR and bonus units) when delegating to the main account via MB.
I recommend to change the question to "Do I get any benefit from delegating Steem Power to @steembasicincome"?
Yes, you get temporary "bonus shares" when you delegate to @steembasicincome. These bonus shares give equal benefit compared to regular SBI shares. Currently, you get 1 bonus share for each 2 Steem Power delegation to @steembasicincome. Bonus shares will be removed if you pull your delegation.
To me this is the answer 7. The minnow booster leasing seems like an outside case - but perhaps is worth a foot note, not a full entry.

Bonus Category 2:
What is an rshare and how does it influence my votes i receive from Steem Basic Income?
rshares are the unit that steem uses to calculate rewards. So when you vote for any post the witness check your VP% and SP to calculate how many rshares your upvote is worth. This is what value you really add when you upvote a post. @steembasicincome gives your membership a bonus for each upvote to any post from any of their accounts. Your will get a bonus equal to 1.34x the amount of your upvote to your @steembasicincome rshare balance. That balance is used to give each upvote from your membership a bonus. This bonus earned is always higher than if you voted your own post. So it pays you back to support this project. You can check your balance with the !sbi status command
There's actually quite a bit more to rshares than that. rshares are not unique to Steem Basic Income. Actually they are the base unit that Steem uses to calculate rewards. (the r stands for 'reward')
When you upvote a post, your front-end client tells the witnesses your upvote %. The witness checks your VP% and mVests (SP) and calculates the actual rshares of your upvote. Those rshares are stored by the witnesses as meta-data for the post. You can see all the rshares rewarded to a post on steemd, by changing the 'it' in any steemit post url to a 'd' and then clicking 'Vote Details' below the raw markup for the post.
for example:
(img capture from https://steemd.com/contests/@steembasicincome/steem-basic-income-faq-contest-500-sbi-in-prizes)
When your post pays out, the witness checks the total rshares rewarded to the post against the total rewards pool (pending rewards not yet paid out) and converts your rshares into SP/STEEM/SBD.
Since the total rshares that that you can vote are directly driven by your mvests (SP), they are the most accurate possible unit that we can use to calculate the upvote values that we owe our members. As such, we use them for all our balance tracking. Each unit (and bonus unit) earns 80M rshares every 2.4 hours (800M per day, 5600M per week).
That amount would round to 0 if we used SBD or SP. When we started our program, STEEM was at $8 and 800M rshares per day was enough for an 0.01 upvote every day. Now it's only enough for an 0.01 upvote every 25 days (which is why we recommend 25 units to get a daily upvote). If STEEM price continues to rise, the value of rshares will go back up and the SBI needed for a daily upvote will go down.
Your rshares rewards are stored in our database as a 'pending upvote balance'. Each member also earns 1.34x multiplier on their upvotes. This part you got dead on - you give us rshares through your votes, we multiply those by 1.34 to cover the curation we will get from our returning vote, and we add them to your balance to give back to your over your next few posts.
When we deploy our system to redistribute outstanding vote balances from inactive and blacklisted accounts, that will be calculated using rshares too.

Hi @stever82!
I rate this response as 6. Not sure I understand clearly how rsshares work but I think this makes sense though it can be explained better for a 7.
Rated 5 , i think it is well explained but can be completed with more deep agregated value such as a graphical explication. Anyway good work!.

Rating 7, full package. Has all that's needed
This is definitely a 7. Very simple to understand and well presented. You seem to be a honorary competitor lol.
To receive larger votes on your posts there are a few options which are free and one which requires investment of steem.
Free Ways to Increase Your Vote:
Don't forget that your vote is based on 20% of your total vote bank and then that amount is removed from the bank. So a few back to back posts can quickly drain your account which will lower your vote value or on the flip side if you take a few days off your vote bank will grow larger and your next votes will be larger. This has nothing to do with the value of each SBI share, but entirely on how you choose to use your vote bank.
Rating 6
Great answer with redirection to other FAQ question. It's a little bit too overwhelming in my opinion and I don't think other FAQ question inform the user that "your vote is based on 20% of your total vote bank and then that amount is removed from the bank.". That's not common knowledge.

I rate this 6. Detailed, covers all the main ways to boost your SBI units and upvotes. Lost point for the "you know the program" considering the FAQ section is aimed at members or potential members that are not familiar with the program.
I give you a 5 this time. You're not exactly on points with your answers and obviously, we wouldn't want to have those quotation of another user and sbi booster on the FAQ page.
To get bigger upvotes, send more STEEMs to @steembasicincome to increase your share. You can also delegate to @steembasicincome. In the past, you will receive 1 bonus share for every 10 SP delegation. As @steembasicincome continues to grow, they also increased the bonus share to 5 shares for every 10 SP delegation.
Close. We have improved the delegation reward from 1 bonus unit per 10 SP to 1 bonus unit per 2 SP delegated (so 10 will you give you 5 bonus units instead of only 1.)

Okay, I have updated my initial response. I am just curious, is there a specific timeframe for the delegation? And will the SBI shares be revoke when the delegation is stopped?
I haven't find a topic similar to this in the FAQ so maybe it can be an additional entry.
When you initiate a delegation on Steem, it is perpetual until you change it to 0. Bonus units are calculated at the time of delegation, and then left alone unless the delegation changes, at which point they are recalculated. If the delegation is set to 0, the bonus units would also be set to 0.
Rating 4 - a bit confusing, a clearer edited version stating 1 bonus unit for every 2 SP delegated would improve the answer in my opinion.
Befriend a whale! Power up and self vote!
... But seriously... For SBI, More shares means larger votes. Also the more often you post the more your votes are diluted by averaging.
Apart from that, engage other people... If you are interested in their work, they might get interested in yours!

Rating 5 - from the "but seriously" part. Good basic info without being technical, doesn't cover all ways to boost the vote (upvoting SBI for example)
I score this a 4. It doesn't look presentable to applear as a FAQ response and it doesn't answer the question completely.
There are four ways to go about it
Send more Steem along with username(s) of the person(s) you intern to sponsor. A trick will be to look for someone to exchange sponsorship. That is someone you will sponsor and he/she in turn sponsor's you back. It will be a win win situation for you and your friend.
Delagate much Steem Power to @steembasicincome. For every 2SP delegated, you get one unit.
Upvote posts made by @steembasicincome. For every post that you upvote, your upvote value is multiplied by 1.34 and added to your potential upvote balance. You can simply add @steembasicincome to your fanbase on steemauto.com to make it easier.
Participate is contests that give sbi units as a prize or prizes. This way you will increase your sbi units and hence upvote value.

Accurate. Response accepted as a qualifying submission.
Don't forget you can also earn points by scoring the clarity and helpfulness of other qualifying responses.
Rating 4 - technically, so long as the user is not spamming or plagarising or blacklisted for whatever reason, SBI doesn't really take in to account "quality of content"
I give a 2 for this reason. It simply doesn't answer the question.
The main way to do this is to get more SBI shares. You can sponsor more people. Or you can enter contest or host contest as a good way to grow your shares. If you post every day and change to voting every other day this also should increase your vote as it is giving out with a weekly share. Only do that if you are forcing yourself to post when you don't want to. SBI doesn't require daily post to earn your full share.
Did you mean 'change to posting every other day'? A change to voting every other day would decrease your upvote, because you would be getting less upvoting multiplier reward.
It's weird that this is wrong but also sort of correct. We don't calculate anything on a weekly basis anymore... rshares accrue to member vote balances every 2.4 hours. But looking at your upvote value from a longer time-frame (like a week, a month, a quarter) still seems to be the best way to help members realize that over time their total upvote values received are independent of their posting frequency, while their upvote per post is extremely dependent on their posting frequency (and may look quite volatile if their intervals between posts are irregular).
100% accurate, and the key underlying reason for why our system is so complicated. We do not believe that forcing a daily post to achieve ROI is the right way to encourage quality content, and tracking everything using rshares balances has proven to be the only consistently accurate way of upvote delivery that allows for a consistent STEEM APR over time, independent of posting frequency.

How do I join (or increase my units)?
For a start, you can jon by sending 1 STEEM to @steembasicincome and include the name of who you want to sponsor in the memo.
To increase your units, you can keep sending more STEEMs to @steembasicincome with the names of those who want to sponsor. You can sponsor one STEEM per person or multiple STEEMs for one person.
But instead of just sending STEEM to @steembasicincome, I think the best way to earn more shares is to host contests and use SBI shares as prizes. In this way, you will hit 3 birds in one stone:

Rating 6 - generally covers the main points - with a big focus on contests.
5 clarity point
The encouragement for contests is neat. Generally a well done answer but for a question as basic as "how do I join?" it's better to give short and to the point answer.
This one is 5. Leaves out another method of joining which is by being sponsored otherwise it's a great reply.
Firstly, you can simply send 1 STEEM (or more - full amounts only, no part units can be allocated) to @steembasicincome and include someone else's account name as the transaction memo.
Second, delegate STEEM power. 1 unit is granted per 2 SP delegated and remains in place until the delegation is removed.
Thirdly, participate in some of the many contests run by fellow SBI members. This is not only a great way to potentially win some units sponsored (free units) but also can help you network and grow your following. Have a look at the @steembasicincome account and find the most recent Contest listing post for a great starting point.

In my opinion from the way you write the answer it would be major improvement if it's presented with bullet points.
If you own 40+ SBIs, you can link your account to steemit.com using GINAbot with the SBI channel to discord and use # on-demand-boosting. Use of this channel is limited to once in 24 hours
This is helpful information, but not applicable to the category. You could suggest 'What is @sbi-booster, and how do I use it?' as a new question category, and then this is a great response for it!
If you this article will look good, you can use it in new FAQs
This would be a question for the faq.
There is a risk to long responses, in that you are more likely to say something inaccurate the more you say. Since you do say 'theoretically anyone' you should clarify 'except yourself'.

Your subscription may be terminated because of plagiarizing or spamming or if they assessed your account of not being worthy because of illegal activity
It's not so much 'not being worthy' but we need to avoid upvoting illegal activity to protect the rest of the members from legal risks.

Yes. If you are found guilty of spamming and/or plagiarism and being blacklisted by @steemcleaners @buildawhale your subscription maybe terminated.

Rating 5 - clear answer, but a bit oversimplified, reasons like "illegal activity" not mentioned.
Yes, they can. Members that are terminated for plagiarism or other illegal activity will still receive a partial refund of any enrollment fee they have paid (enrollments paid by the member, not enrollments where the member was sponsored). So while you are removed SBI does not take the money that you invested.
Rating 6 - I like your other answer better.
That is some lag issue I thought I edited it not put in two.

This is a 6. Does not provide an in-depth of why a subscription can be terminated others it's perfect!
Category 4:
How long do my units last?
SBI Shares do not expire. So as long as the Steem Blockchain is running they will continue to support your account. There are ways to close your account but you have control over that. However if you act in bad faith on steem it is possible to have your account with SBI terminated.
While true that SBI subscription does not expire, we may stop supporting an individual account if it is blacklisted. At that point the user would have control over closing their account (they can request a refund under the original refund framework), but we do only process those refunds on user request. We have not had any blacklisted accounts request a refund yet.

Rated 4. Didn't talk about the possibilities of both standard and bonus units been terminated thus, it is misleading!
4 clarity point
It's also possible SBI somehow shut down even when Steem is still running. It's not account with SBI that gts terminated as there's no way to delete accounts on blockchain, the one that gets terminated is only the SBI account.
Simply put, if one is not blacklisted for any and all reasons and if the Internet (including Steemit with @steembasicincome) will be here for the rest of your life, then the units of SBI Shares should last forever. Of course, theoriticals aside, as long as technology stays, then the SBI Shares are their for life until you refund or get blacklisted (or the world ends simply). Units of SBI Shares "don't decay" nor get taken off over time; so enjoy that sweet SBI Share.

Raating 5. Good information, a bit informal for an FAQ but that is down to different personal styles.
Rated 4. Looks more of a lecture than a simple answer. Still it doesn't covers bonus units been terminated. It's wack for a FAQ response though.
Standard units last forever. These are the most common units gained by sending STEEM or by being sponsored. The only exception to this is if your account is blacklisted for spam, plagiarism or illegal activity. If you become inactive, the value of these units will decline over time, but they remain yours and will return to normal when you resume activity on your account.
Bonus units gained from delegating STEEM Power remain in place until you cancel the delegation.

5 clarity score
It's not the value of units that decline, it's actually rshare balance in the account. Talking about that is not even necessary here.
This is my answer 7. Of course all answers from partiko users will need to have the footer removed ;p
Accurate. Technically the rshares balance from inactives will decline, but the units will continue to earn new rshares at the same rate. (Eventually, your daily rshares increase would line up with your daily rshares 'tax' and your balance would remain in an equilibrium with 100 days of stored value waiting for your next post.

As long as you do not spam or plagiarise on Steem or try to game the system, your Standard units will last till the lifetime of the project.
Also, bonus units gotten by delegating Steem Power to @steembasicincome would be terminated upon an undelegation of the Steem Power.

Why am I voted by a different account than the person I sponsored?
@steembasicincome has many different accounts @sbi2, @sbi3, ect. Your vote will come from the most available account at the time of your post. The vote will always still have the same amount that your account was due at that time no matter which account is used to cast the vote.

Possible Improvement: 'the best' account can be clarified, perhaps as: 'Your vote will come from the most availalbe account at the time of your post'
Actually members are not explicitly assigned to pool accounts any more (although that used to be the case). Now we dynamically select the best account for each upvote right when the upvote is delivered.

Wow I was wrong on this one thanks for the update I have changed the answer.
It's one of the things that changed with our automated release. It even changed from our initial announcement, when we still wanted to have semi-static pool assignments. Over time we came to realize that this was a much more elegant solution code-wise and when we eventually fit our accounts to our SP curve goal it will result in a similar outcome (semi-static pool assignments).
I'm happy to talk about how that outcome will eventually happen if you're interested, but it gets pretty technical.

Rated 6. Great reaction to correction(s) though I still feel this response doesn't still tell the basis on which the multi-accounts give out votes.
Rating 7 - The edited version is on point, clear and accurate.
SBI has multiple accounts/pools for upvoting. Upvotes to your post or sponsee's post can come from the main account @steembasicincome or one of other SBI pools (@sbi2, @sbi3, etc.). Getting upvoted by different SBI account doesn't imply a different treatment on your subscription.

Rating 5 - a bit too short and general - answer is accurate however.
Simple! The sponsored person doesn't do the upvoting. But of course may not be the actual q. To rephrase the q: "why do I see SBI X upvoting me and not @steembasicincome themself?" That's because @steembasicincome has many SBI Bots doing much of the heavy lifting of upvoting members and ensuring they get the upvotes they deserve. That and the SBI staff has to delegate resources and ensure the @steembasicincome account doesn't drain it's upvote power with its many, many members. While ensuring their many, many members get their upvotes as they have rightfully deserved. But to return back for obscenity's sake, @steembasicincome doesn't use other accounts to do the liking; they do the liking as their front-service.
@steembasicincome has related accounts and they all upvote differently based on the voting power available and the vote value to be given out at a particular instant.

There are a few ways to do this the fastest is to use "!sbi status" in the discord in the bot command room.

To use this you will need to save a copy before you can edit it. New shares may not show up right away.
Hi @stever82!
This is close. The discord version uses

Yes someone can sponsor you. It can be your friend/relatives. You can ask them to sponsor you and the great thing is both of you will get a share. The other people that can sponsor you are the steemians here in steemit that runs a contest with sbi prize. Just search for those kind of contest. You can exert your efforts to win that share or sometimes you just need to test your luck because most of the sbi contest uses random generator to pick the winner.

Rating 5
Contests are great way to earn free units but don't forget your friends!
5 clarity point
Contests are important to SBI community but being directly sponsored without contest really should be mentioned.
Yes, anyone can sponsor you. Keep an active blog and provide valuable content to your followers and other in the community, and someone may choose to sponsor you.
Alternatively, the @steembasicincome team makes a list of giveaways in which you could win SBI units. You can find these on our blog twice a week. You could also search for more contests in the #steembasicincome tag.
Some of these contests may be a great way to gain exposure for your blog within the community; requiring photography, writing and other creative mediums to enter. Just remember to play fair, only using your own creative content when taking part.

Mentioning several methods to get sbi shares is a great idea. This will be helpful for those who want to get their sbi shares.

Category 2:
I just sent a transaction sponsoring someone and I’m not seeing an upvote on my posts, did you miss my transaction?
(You may propose a rewrite of this awkward question with your response if you believe it will improve clarity)
On the old system usually it is because you have to wait 7 days to update your data on the list. This uses to happen before the automated system. Now with the new system this is updated with a delay of 3 hours.
Also can be that you misspelled/wrong write the name and because that you
get any upvote
Rating 3
The answer have some grammar issues and outdated information shouldn't be appearing on FAQ answer, that's a waste of everybody's time.
Response blends the old delays with the new system, but even under new system it's up to 3 hour delay, rather than immediate.

Who cares about the old system? That's two sentences wasted. Also new member's posts aren't being upvoted is because they start at zero rshares balance and there's a minimum threshold to get upvoted.
I bought my first share or was gifted a share and haven't seen an upvote?
It can take time for the system to update the share that you bought or won. Please wait and post again after a few days if you are still not seeing any upvotes please reach out to an admin in our discord Or you can reach out to @josephsavage about the issue. Discord is preferred contact.
Rating 5
Great addition of means of contacting SBI. However, one of the most common reason someone with low amount of units not get upvoted is due to the minimum vote threshold and in my opinion that's the most important piece the answer of this question needs. Should've included that.
Accurate. It should be noted that with our new minimum upvote threshold (to prevent dusting of upvotes) that many members may not have a high enough enrollment level to receive an upvote on every post. Your submission has been accepted as a qualifying response.

Rating 5 - helpful answer, but mention of those points noted by sbi-booster would increase the score.
Rated 5. Clear enough but needed to explain threshold vote value and I allocated 2points for that.
Suggestion on rephrasing the question: I just sent a transaction sponsoring someone and I’m not seeing an upvote on my posts. How do I check that it was not missed in processing?
Yes, it is possible that your transaction could have been missed but before concluding to that, check first your rshares and ensure that you have enough for the threshold of $0.011. If you have low rshares, there could be missed days of upvote because your upvotes can either have been accumulated for one "big" upvote or divided into few days of smaller but significant upvotes. This is rather than daily upvotes of dust value.
If your rshares are clearly enough or even more than the threshold, your transaction could have indeed been missed. If that is the case, I suggest that you contact @steembasicincome through Discord.
This used to be accurate. Since we released our automated system a few weeks ago, enrollments are processed automatically within 2.4 hours. The confirmation transactions are still manual and typically sent within 2 days. New members start with enough balance for an initial vote, but after the initial vote the frequency depends on their enrollment level. Members with only 1 unit will see upvotes very infrequently (sporadic upvotes of $0.011 instead of regular tiny upvotes).

I initially answered the question based on my own experience and not going through the old posts. With your reply, I reviewed the documents and found the answer that is almost the same as my initial answer. That tells me, the post is outdated and a new one is out there. I guess this is where the importance of a @steembasicinome web page comes in so that we users will just go to that web page instead of digging very old posts.
I have updated my response. 😊
Yep, there is a lot of old information, and we know that a lot of important updates get missed for various reasons. That's the purpose of this exercise: to help people better understand the new changes and create a new FAQ in the process.
We do have a web-site launch in our roadmap, but it's not our top priority.
Rating 5 - a good attempt, details are ok but it is technical and difficult to follow for a new user. One of the harder questions to create a simple, clear summary.
Rated 6. Very accurate but I just feel you can better explain or present that for the sake of a common user or noob. Explaining with rshares will make it confusing to a noob.
Within 24 hours of sponsorship, check your rshares with sbi status. If the value in dollars exceeds 0.01, you will receive an upvote
This is worded oddly. I think you meant to say 'if the value in dollars exceeds 0.01, you will receive an upvote'. The suggestion to check with !sbi status is a good one!

Yes. At present, the threshold is $ 0.011.
That's why I write in my comment that it's worth $ 0.01
Rating 5 - Accurate with the edit, but use of jargon (rshares) without context is confusing.
A detailed description of rshares is in this article
Rated 5. Describe the bot command to check the units/rshares
Again what happens if I say my potential upvote value is $0.02 and I have not received an upvote? In short, you needed to include how to reach the team.
There are two ways to control SBI units.
The first option is to enter the "!sbi status" command anywhere in the comment or article on steem.com. In response to this command, one of the sbi pools will be reported with a detailed description.
Second option:
log on to the discord SBI, using Ginabot on # requst-verification to register your steem account. Next choose the channel # bot-commands and | Use !Sbi yourname to check your SBI units, or !Sbi-a yourname for rshares detail|
Hi @bucipuci!
With this additional info, I change my rating to 6.

They didn't miss your transaction unless you typed in the wrong name. They might be just updating their databases and processing the share to be added to your account. You just have to patiently wait

Nice and short but seems like the question is directed more to the fact that the user have no rshares balance when they just joined...
Transactions take a maximum of 144 minutes to be processed by the system. So, if you did not see a vote, it only means that your potential upvote value is not up to the threshold value of $0.011 and you simply have to wait until it accumulates to that amount.
Try checking your sbi unit details on Steem or on the SBI discord server and confirm if you will see a similar message to this;
If you do not see a message like that, quickly reach out to the team on discord.

This is mostly accurate, but to reduce server load we are processing transactions every 144 minutes (right before each rshares accrual cycle). There could be up to 2.4 hours delay between when an enrollment transaction is sent and when it shows in the member unit counts.

Wait....
After writing a new post, in a day or two you should start seeing upvotes from @steembasicincome or is associated @sbi accounts. If you don't screw many shares, it will take some time for your vote value to be high enough to trigger above a low point threshold. After this point, your post will be voted on. Below this, the vote will not register (this the reason for the threshold).
This is mostly accurate. We didn't announce it very well, but new members start with enough rshares balance for an initial vote now. Members that actively post should see an upvote shortly after enrollment (typically on their next post, sometimes on their most recent post). The next upvote could still take a while.
The threshold is set at $0.011, which is much higher than the threshold below which votes don't register, but that 'tax' on small upvotes is why we set a minimum upvote threshold.

Rating 6, the actual threshold should be mentioned

Category 7:
I know I am enrolled and I didn’t get an upvote!
Low rshares value (at least $ 0.01)
Editing:
$ 0.011 is a threshold amount that is still paid as a reward. Lower amounts do not pay for authors. This is the most common reason for non-payment.
The black list is also an option, but the honest author does not have to worry ;-)

Rating 5, a little unclear overall, should say SBI doesn't vote under 0.011 as the vote would be lost as dust - a difficult topic to word clearly.
The SBI economy is set to pay more than $ 0.011
With the implementation of Resource Credit that came with Hard Fork 20. SBI had to change their voting principles to be able to cope.
For someone with fewer units, your vote will be accumulated and only be given when it reaches the threshold of $0.011.

Answer is delivered into easy-to-read points. However, this seems to not distinguish between SBI rshares balance and actual rshares we can distribute by voting on Steem. Wording in this answer can be improved too.
6 clarity point
While the wording isn't exactly top class, this answer mentions more possibilities compared to other answers that mainly only mentions rshares threshold. Great!
Steem Basic income has a few different accounts to manage the votes so make sure you are looking out for any of them. If your share count is low it is possible a post was skipped because your current value was too low. So wait a day and post again and see if the vote comes back. Lastly, it is possible for the bot to have issues and miss a vote. You can always reach out to support on the discord when you feel a post was missed.
Accurate. If membership level is very low, it may take more than a day for upvote to come back. We currently recommend 4 units (about $1 worth if not swapping) to get a weekly vote and 25 units to get a daily vote.

Well written answer but may cause confusion
How many is considered low share count? Current value of what?
There might be something wront with the auto voter that SBI uses or because of the implementation of Resource Credits, usually rshare balances are checked if its insufficient the post might get skipped and then it will receive a catch up vote when it accumulates
Technically Accurate. We only grant catch up votes if the rshares accumulate enough for an upvote while their is a post less than 24 hrs old. Otherwise the balance will keep growing until the next time they post.

Rating 5 - Resource credits aren't really the issue here, but the other points are valid.
First, ensure that you have an active subscription by checking the number of units that you have using the tools I mentioned here.
here.From the !sbi status result, check if your rshare balance is less that $0.011. If so, you need to accumulate more shares to hit $0.011 before you get the upvote. If you reached this threshold but still do not get the upvote, contact the @steembasicincome team through discord

Actually, the only coded exclusion is self. (You cannot sponsor yourself). There is a pointlessness to sponsoring some accounts (they never post or comment, so why? just why?) but they can still be sponsored. Blacklisted account can continue to grow their unit levels, they just don't get upvotes.
We are working on a system that will redistribute the accrued balances from these scenarios (blacklisted and inactive) to the rest of the member base.

Hi White List Author!
Thanks for being part of our contest community.
Here is a 100% upvote from @contestkings
Official Discord Server: https://discordapp.com/invite/SMSNk7w
Thanks, @contestkings!!
I know there's a FAQ but reading all this comments is just as helpful to update my own knowledge.
Resteemed for that reason. :)
Thanks, we're glad this has proven to be helpful. After this contest has finished, we will be taking the best answers and publishing a new FAQ (and then forever stop referencing the old FAQ, because it has a lot of outdated material).
Don't forget you can get contest points (and potentially a share of the prize pool) by the qualifying responses for clarity/helpfulness).
Question for expanding the FAQ:
I send 1 Steem but I misspelled the name. What can I do?
Can I sponsor myself?I agree that your first point about misspelling the persons name should be included. Its a common error (I have been guilty) and an easy answer should be accessible in the FAQs.
Posted using Partiko Android
The query about self-sponsoring is included in the enrollment questions so i don't think there is a need for a separate category.
The query about misspelling is a good one, there is some support, and I agree that it should be included separately.
Officially accepted as a bonus category (a separate comment opening that bonus category will be made).
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?
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.
Can I sponsor multiple people with one transaction to @steembasicincome?
Yes, you can. In the memo field, enter all sponsors and enter the SP amount by number in the field. Number x 2
Response to this will be included in the existing questions about enrollment, unless there is sufficient demand for it to be a separate question.
How much return of investment (ROI) can I expect from participating on SBI?
This is not a question that we can answer in the FAQ, since ROI calculations are dependent on factors that are very much outside of our control. Even the STEEM APR (which is much more consistent since the base is measured in STEEM) is dependent on the overall rewards pool equilibrium.

Suggestion for extra question:
"What is an rshare and how does it influence my votes i recieve from SBI"
Reason: I see so many answers referencing rshares, however this is a foreign concept to many Steemians, especially new or potential members and could cause confusion. It is technical jargon that needs an explanation in laymans terms I feel.
