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 share 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/basicincome/@steembasicincome/steem-basic-income-new-transaction-memo-guidelines
The official currency for enrollment is STEEM. We are not currently accept SBD for enrollments. The current delay on enrollment processing is 4-5 days.
Questions?
Please read our recently published FAQ. Most questions are addressed in our FAQ or in the additional resources that it suggests. If you still have questions, ask in the comments section or join us in our discord channel. To review your share counts, we explain our tracking sheet here.

Thank you very much 🙂 @gduran
I alotta great contests posted this week. Great job SBI.
Great job to all of our members! We just provide the platform incentives; they do all the amazing work.
can i use the your name on my post tag?
We try to discourage use of our name as a tag, except for contest post providing SBI shares as prizes, or articles actually about SBI. That way the tag has usefulness to people interested in the program.
okay. I understand. anyway good job man. Good Luck.
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Hello,I sent 1 steem to @steembasicincome yesterday.But I haven't received your upvote yet.Please check.
It can take up to 4 days to get enrolled as it is done manually. This will speed up when its automated
Slightly longer right now. Wife has been in labor for 43 hours.
Blimey. That is a very long labour.
My wife took it easy on me under 5 hours all three times.
I hope everything goes well
Thank you. There were some tense moments, but wife and baby are both healthy!

Do not miss the last announcement from @steemitboard!
Out of curiosity, how does doing multiple shares work? If we send 30 Steem, for instance, does that correlate to 30 shares? Or is there some sort of limit or cool-down?
Thered no limit or cool down.
You can have up to 100 shared per pool. Currently there are 700 pools, this will increase as each pool fills up.
So how would I format the memo if were to send, say, 10 shares each to 3 different people? Would I just use three different transfers?
Posted using Partiko Android
You can do separate transfers or you can put
@name1, @name2, @name3
They will each get an equal amount of shares
This is one I did the other day
Thanks for the help!
Awesome initiative. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for your support!
Hi @steembasicincome, I would like to do a fundraising post to raise money for two Venezuelan Steemit users. All the author proceeds from the post would go to buy equal numbers of SBI (Steem Basic Income) for them both. I would like to get the post to the trending page, get lots of upvotes/resteems, but I don't know if I want to use a bidbot. So two questions, if I was to use a bid bot, how much would it cost to get this to the trending page? Also, is there someone (dolphin/whale) that has a heart for Venezuela that would like to post this from their blog? That way I think it could have more reach. Any responses would be appreciated
I don't really know any dolphins/whales personally, but I do know that getting to trending with bid bots is quite expensive.
I've always wondered about the cost to trend. Thanks for the info SBI
Pick any top 10 post in trending and look at the user in Steemworld to see how much SBD transactions there were to promote it. That will give you some idea of the cost (and whether it was even profitable).
OK, thanks for the info.
Why does it say on your google doc I have not been on steemit since 20/05/2018? Also why have I been moved out of @sbi4? Thanks
The spreadsheet isn't fully automatic and not updated everyday. The date could be still from the last data pull. But it's totally okay, because the voting is still going on.
Also you were moved up from @sbi4 to @sbi3, which is good, because the older pools have a slightly small advantage in terms of SP compared to the newer ones. But that is only now and I think will be less in the future.
The data pull that updates last active date is not currently working. I'm trying to get it back up again as soon as possible. The last active date is only used as a fallback to identify inactive length for members inactive past 7 days. So the inaccurate data there will only affect members that are inactive past 7 days, but have activity more recent than the 20 May update to that table.
thank you both not sure why my weight just keeps going down i have not posted very much recently
Perhaps this has something to do with the falling price of steem?
I thought that but I don't think so the weight if the vote would be the same however the value would decrease. I think. That make sense?
Your weight falls because the pool is growing. If you have 1 share and there are only 100 shares in the pool, you would receive 1% of the total weekly voting weight, or 70% total weekly voting weight. If you post once per day, that is 10% upvote on each post.
Now imagine the pool doubles to 200 shares. Your one share is now only 0.50%, or 5% upvote on each post, but the SP in the pool also doubles. So as your upvote weight drops, the upvote value would hold constant if the STEEM/SBD prices held constant.
The only reason your upvote value is dropping along with your weight dropping is because of the slide in STEEM/SBD prices.
i had not thought about that thanks a lot i thought there was a 100 share cap tbh hence more sbi's being created.
100 share cap per member in each pool, and 500 members per pool.
@steembasicincome is awesome! And it's very cool that people have these contests and challenges to help more people get involved... I've had a couple myself, and will definitely have more; great way to mark a "milestone" in our Steemit careers!
=^..^=
I might give some of these a try. Thanks.
This is off topic but I sponsored several people for shares earlier and I accidentally left the @ symbol off of one of their user names in the memo. Will she still be able to get her shares?
Yes, we will take care of it.
Cool. Thank you. She makes pretty good content so I would like to see her get a little more than I can give with my upvote. I might sponsor a couple of more people if i can figure out who.
👍
@steembasicincome Hey, first of all thank you for your service I'm really happy with it. However I have a question, in the sheet it says I have 100 shares for steembasicincome (sbi1) and then also for sbi2, sbi3 and I have 20 for sbi4 however I don't get an upvote from sbi1 or steembasicincome anymore? Can you let me know if I'm just mistaken, or if something is wrong?
Thanks for your help! :) And again, I love the whole idea of sbi!
Thanks, for checking with us. I thought I had setup all four rules, but it looks like I missed one. It should be working now, but please let us know if it still misses your next post.
Ah thank you so much :) Glad I double checked love your concept guys! :) @steembasicincome
You're welcome. Looking through today I figured out how I missed it. I would have caught it eventually, but I'm glad that you brought it to my attention.
The new weekly raffle has started
