Ok, so you go to your wallet, and under steem it will show you now have 1 steem. Click on the little arrow next to the amount, to bring up these options
It will bring up a form to fill in, in the To box, write steembasicincome set the amount as 1, and the memo as @smanuels - so it will look like this:
The click next, and confirm, and it will go through for you. The person who sends it gets 1 share, and the person named in the memo also gets 1 share. Once you have shares, you will start getting upvotes on your posts from accounts that start sbi eg @sbi4 - and voila, you are getting a basic income on your posts! Does that all make sense? :)
Got it! Thanks!
