Member Upvotes Provide Sustainability

[steembasicincome]

Steem Basic Income

Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through regular upvotes to member content.

Upvoting Bonuses

Each time we receive author rewards for a post or comment by any official SBI account, we check the value that each member added to the reward. That value will be added to the member's balance, with a multiplier of 1.34x. For upvotes on comments, this is temporarily reduced to 1.15x until our VP recovers above 80%.

For example, if you upvote us by $0.10, then $0.115 would be added to your balance when the post pays out. In most cases, this means that a vote for SBI is more profitable than a self-vote. You are rewarded directly for your contribution to the long-term sustainability of the program! You do still have to be enrolled in @steembasicincome to receive this benefit.

This is a great way to boost the Steem Power for program accounts. If your program (or account) does any self-voting to build a permanent SP base, please consider upvoting @steembasicincome each day instead.

We aim to post once per day, but you should set your auto-voters at a 2 per day limit to avoid missing some of our updates due to time zone differences.

(Official SBI Accounts: @steembasicincome, @sbi2, @sbi3, @sbi4, @sbi5, @sbi6, @sbi7, @sbi8, @sbi9, @sbi10, @sbi-booster. Our automated system dynamically selects the best account to deliver your upvote at the time of upvote delivery.)

Continuous Growth

We currently have 5851 members that have posted or commented within the last 28 days. This is another decrease from last time we published this, when we had 6115. Members that are not posting continue to accrue their voting balance, and upvotes will resume automatically when they return. There are currently 139421 subscribed units in the program, up from 131409 last time we published this report.

Support from Members

Thank you all for your support! Upvotes that we receive from members are an essential component to keep delivering a sustainable basic income! Our base SP growth is still partially dependent on our small self-voting percentage, but we hope to decrease that dependency as more members recognize the benefits to increasing their auto-votes under the new rewards system.

Our rewards growth is finally keeping pace with our ongoing delegation expenses, although we do have quite a few open orders right now that we are struggling to get filled. Watch for our regular sustainability reports to get more insight into how we are doing in that regard.

Here is a visualization of our incoming votes for the last week.

_{source: http://www.steemreports.com/incoming-votes-info/?account=steembasicincome&days=7}

It is important to note that this 13.6% self-vote means that 13.6% of our received upvote value was from our self-votes, not that 13.4% of our voting power was spent on self-votes. In fact, we only spent 1.02% of our voting power on self-votes. This is very similar to last time, when 13.4% of our received value was from self-vote.

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 unit 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/busy/@steembasicincome/transaction-memo-guidelines

The official currency for enrollment is STEEM. If we choose to accept SBD without refunding it, you do not receive extra value for it.

Enrollments are processed automatically every 144 minutes. Confirmation transactions are still manual and typically are sent within 2-3 days. Even if you have not received a welcome transaction, you can check your status using !sbi status in any post or comment.

SBI Writer's Group Needs Your Help

A few spots are available for interested writers to join the SBI writer's group.

You do not already have to be a member of Steem Basic Income to take up this opportunity, but a basic working knowledge of SBI would help.

Here are some examples of previous interviews created by members of the SBI writers group. As you can see from these examples, we let this lapse for a while, but we are ready to take it to the next level!

Previous Interviews	📖
Interview with @andrewharland	Interview with @f3nix
Interview with @dynamicgreentk	Interview with @improv
Interview with @dosdudes	Interview with @holger80
Interview with @reinaldoverdu

Participating writers receive rewards of additional SBI levels, along with a writing credit on articles and updates published on @steembasicincome account, to 5k+ followers. Bonuses in STEEM/SBD are available for quality work that requires minimal editing.

Full information about the program is available here. If you are interested, please direct message me (@josephsavage) on the Steem Basic Income discord server.

a really like the concept . a have notest how low the % of the vote is lately.
so if we all chip in and up vote the accounts its not only helping steembasicincome but it helping us to. a added all the accounts a few days a go and a already can feel the different in the size up vote...ty on the good servise..

[sbi-booster]

Thanks for your support! It's true that adding all the accounts will boost your upvotes received. Just make sure you're keeping an appropriate balance to the rest of your voting activities (i.e. use the boosts you get from SBI to build a power base that supports your other activities, but don't let it completely replace them!)

[darklands]

ye indid. full control there a have a plan :)

Great to see you participating at the Austin event! I was disappointed that the dates conflicted with a number of things going on for me as I am looking forward to participating in a Steem event this year. I hope to see the participants from some video or posts!

[sbi-booster]

We are very excited about Austin. Sadly my wife and baby won't be going this time, but hopefully they can attend other events later in the year.

I'm hoping to reach a point soon where we can attend a lot more events, we just need a bit more upward STEEM price momentum for that to happen!
