Contests!!

When we launched Steem Basic Income, we started with a contest to make it widely available without people having to pay to join. The Daily Sneak still sponsors 2 to 5 people every day. With this history, we are thrilled to see so many members picking up the baton and holding contests to decide who to sponsor into Steem Basic Income. Great job, everyone!

If you are holding a contest and we missed it, let us know in the comments. There were a few more that had ended or closed to enrollment already when I finally put the list together. So if you want to see more before we mention them, check the #steembasicincome tag in Trending or New and see what's happening!

Enrollment

If this sounds interesting and 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. 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.

The official currency for enrollment is STEEM. We accept SBD at our discretion (usually when they're very close, or when SBD is stronger) but you do not receive extra value or any partial refund for paying in SBD instead of STEEM. If we choose to accept an SBD enrollment, we accept the entire amount. If we choose to reject it, we refund the entire amount and request you to send STEEM instead.

It's fine to send a list, but we prefer a comma after each name. If you send a list, please specify share amounts for each or we will assume equal distribution (e.g. 15 STEEM with 3 names means 5 shares each and 15 for you, unless you specify otherwise).

As we get close to automation for enrollments, we will tighten up the transaction memo guidelines. Please bear in mind that enrollments are currently processed manually, and we are prioritizing regular updates over new enrollments right now, so there may be some delay before you receive confirmation or adjustment to your voting weights.
