Hive Stake Based Income
Hive Stake Based Income (Hive SBI) is a social experiment to bring a voluntary crowdfunded basic income to as many Hivers as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Hive SBI is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content.
Transaction Memo Guidelines
The Do's
- Including the @ before each name is optional. It works fine with or without.
- It's fine to send a list, with or without commas after each name.
- Please keep a balanced unit count per member if you send a list (i.e. 2 HIVE with 2 names, 6 HIVE with 3 names, 9 HIVE with 3 names, etc.).
- If you want to sponsor multiple members with different share counts, please break it into separate transactions.
- If you are copying a list with line breaks, please ensure each name has a space at the beginning or end. The line breaks will not be included in the transaction memo, and will cause the names to run together.
These examples are perfect! Comma separated @ list, with the number of sponsees matching the amount of HIVE, or separate transactions with 1 HIVE sent for each member are both perfect. Model your transactions after these and you will be fine!
The Do Not's
Please do not include any other wording in your enrollment memos, especially names of other users that are not the persons being sponsored!
Please do not sponsor yourself. (Self-sponsoring is not recognized at all. You will get the normal 1 for each HIVE that you send, but the unit normally assigned to the person you sponsor will be assigned to somebody else.)
Helpful Hints
If you are sending a list manually, you should chunk it into shorter lists, such as 5 or 10 names per transaction. If any name in the list is misspelled and does not match an active account, the entire transaction will be flagged for manual review. With a lot of names, this can be tedious (resulting in enrollment delays for you and for the members you sponsored).
If you have a program sending the transactions, longer lists are fine. We have had transactions as large as 75 HIVE (with 75 different names) processed without any issues because all of the names were spelled correctly and the transaction followed our syntax perfectly.
Use whole numbers. Every transaction received is rounded down to a whole number, and you will not receive a refund of your excess amount. Even 1.999 would be treated as 1, and you and your sponsee will each receive only 1 unit added to your subscription level.
Third-party Sponsoring
We also support special sponsorship transactions. Many members for their contests have asked about setting a separate sponsee as the 'sponsor' for the second unit. This is supported via
@sponsor:@sponsee
, or sponsor:sponsee
Look at this transaction from @mastergerund, with memo that reads blockchaininfo:rambutan.art
. This results in 3 subscription units each for @blockchaininfo and @rambutan.art, even though the transaction came from @mastergerund. We currently have a few members that use this format regularly, and it works flawlessly as long as the syntax is followed. When there are spaces between the names and the :
symbol, it results in error.
You could also use this to submit enrollment transactions through @blocktrades or other exchanges. If you withdraw to @steembasicincome with your transaction memo in this format, you can still receive credit for sponsoring (or sponsor people anonymously by having neither name be from you!)
The official currency for enrollment is HIVE. If we choose to accept HBD without refunding it, you do not receive extra value for it.
Enrollments are processed automatically every 144 minutes. Confirmation transactions are only sent for initial enrollment.

Hey guys, how much are SBI tokens? How may I acquire them? I'm looking to spend a bit over the next few months. You can email me - [email protected]
Thanks!
It's still 1 HIVE per Hive SBI to sponsor accounts, and the sponsoring party also receives Hive SBI. (In effect, for 1 HIVE, both accounts get 1 Hive SBI).
We generally recommend at least $20 worth for consistent upvotes (weekly or more frequently), and higher subscription levels result in higher vote values on each post.
OK, so how long does it stay in effect? What would I look at in terms of like $150-$200 a month? I have sbi in steemit, like 10 or something i cant remember, its been years. I wasnt doing to bad, but had to take a few years off for personal life related issues and lost alot of the retained information i had.
It's a lifetime subscription. Your membership from Steem is still in effect (and in fact you received some Hive SBI from it also). Both have been steadily building up some pending upvote balance while you were gone- which is why you started getting some chunky upvotes as soon as you started posting again, but they are dropping in size as you use up more of your pending upvote balance.
If you will be posting on Hive but not on Steem, you can consolidate everything into Hive SBI also.
For the $150-200 a month question, I think I need a little clarity about what you're asking and looking for. If you're on Discord that's the easiest way to reach me. https://discord.gg/aCmMKR5W
Alternately I can send you an email, but I think a quick conversation in Discord may be the best bet here.
The SBI bots don’t seem to have done any voting for 24+ hours. What’s up?
We've been having a lot more node issues lately. Thanks for letting us know!
Hey @josephsavage,
Sorry to jump in with an off-topic request.
I am very grateful that you currently support the HiveBuzz proposal, but it will expire in a few days.
Do you mind to cast your vote for the renewal proposal we made for 2021 so we can continue with our work?
Thank you. Wish you a happy Xmas 🎅

Aren’t most sponsorships effectively pseudoanonymous since confirmation transactions are only sent with the initial enrollment?
As most do not bother to check previous transactions to see who sponsored them, yes...
but there are certain parties that like to downvote people for supporting others via SBI. In such cases, anonymity may add great value.
In my case, too late for that. 😅

Enrollments are processed automatically every 2.4 hours. You cannot get a response on the status call until after you are enrolled.
Posting the same comment in multiple places, and then upvoting it yourself, is a good way to get yourself noticed by people that will make your Hive experience very unpleasant.
As a general rule, you should never upvote your own comments.
I didn't know my behavior was bad, thanks for letting me know

in your text to have us skip any post or comment.This circle jerk was just too good not to bring it over to HIVE eh?
You have to cast a pretty wide net to categorize Hive SBI as a circle-jerk. In fact, it's an account-based curation model that is partially inspired by Patreon.
Account-based curation stabilizes rewards for smaller accounts, and results in substantial retention improvement. That's why many dedicated members continue to use Hive SBI in support of causes they care about, in spite of being aggressively downvoted by hostile former bid-bot owners.
Blah Blah. Users pay, they get a vote. Doesn't really matter if it's for themselves or someone they like, it's pay to play and merit has nothing to do with it.
You've just obfuscated it a bit to stay under the radar and you have strong PR and marketing. I'm a bit surprised you made it past HF21 because you really should have been cleaned out with the bid bots, but people are starting to catch on. For the sake of HIVE I hope you don't succeed here.

Another questions though:
What about Sponsor for Sponsor deals (or however you might want to call it), are those still tolerated? At least it seemed the last time I checked for it.
Thanks, I reviewed for accuracy and updated anything that had changed, but forgot to update the currency information.
While we do require sponsoring somebody, we do not police sponsor for sponsor deals.

While we have record of enrollments for you on Steem (starting with initial enrollment on 14 July 2020), we have no record of enrollment on Hive. Hive SBI became a separate program from Steem Basic Income when Hive forked from Steem.
If this is incorrect, can you please share a transaction confirmation link (hiveblockexplorer) that dates more recently than the Hive/Steem hard-fork so we can investigate?
