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. We will have limited computer access from 7 July through 13 July. We will try to catch up enrollments before then, but the delay will extend out to 6-7 days during that time.

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 always @josephsavage for giving visibility to my contest. It's growing and gurgling like a pot in the hell's kitchen..and what's cooking? You guys will tell us in Wednesday's 20th edition of the Finish The Story Contest, with 72 SBI shares distributed so far!

I really like this initiative. I'm always fond of social experiments. Just gave about 50 shares to people recently, and I'm going to keep doing it!

Thank you for your support!

Hi, I send 6 steem for sbi shares 4 days ago it does not showed up yet .thanks

There was a longer delay due to some family travel. This was announced in the last couple updates leading up to the delays. Enrollments are now only 6 days behind.

How long does it take after you send your steem to get enrolled?
I sent my first steem to get shares yesterday, but I haven't received any upvotes yet. Just wondering! :) Thank you for providing this service! It's truly a wonderful idea!


Also, if anyone would like to sponsor me, it'd be GREATLY appreciated, as I live paycheck to paycheck and it's a bit hard for me to get by with bills and food costs/gas and all. Thank you so much! I will try to sponsor you back as well, once I am able to afford more shares! I have a few steem right now that I won from a contest, that I'd be willing to use to sponsor someone in return! :)

I've also sent another share over, so I hope they were both recorded! :P

Query is addressed in this post.

Longer delay this week, but currently down to 6 days.

Thank you very much for the reply!
I'm new to steem and I was just curious as to how the process goes, exactly.
I've read the posts on the main account and I'm a bit more informed now.

Thank you again for providing the service! It's a great idea! :)

Hey, the account @nevelspoock isn't getting any votes from my share. @nevelspoock used to get votes but sbi suddenly stopped upvoting... Is it possible to look into this? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for letting us know. We looked into it, and the account was not included in the data pull list. I will add it to the list and it will be reactivated after the next data pull.

Awesome, thanks!

Just to let you know: looks like this is fixed, just got an upvote from sbi8.
Thanks for following up and quickly sorting this out!

Great to see so many contests underway! I just posted about my bicycle-themed photo contest, with 3 SBI in prizes. More info at https://steemit.com/bicyclephotocontest/@jctdesign/bicycle-photo-contest-3-steem-basic-income-shares-in-prizes
bicyclephotocontest.jpg

Thanks @steembasicincome #steembasicincome for sharing these amazing contests with us
I hope to win while participating

Nice list, I didn't know that you pulled these together, I do love giving SBI shares as prizes, its a win win :D

I try to get lists out as often as my time permits. Usually 2 per week, but that can vary a lot.

Time is always limited so I understand that.

Hey there -- I sponsored @runburgundy for a bunch of shares the other day, and haven't gotten an update saying it has gone through. Just want to ensure that it wasn't lost in some kind of funky node error or something. Or is there a certain date that new shares get added?

A message isn't sent each time shares are added. I just looked at the total @runburgundy has and it's 12. No way for me to see when they were added. Joe is on vacation and has very limited internet so I would expect a reply when he comes back. He has checked in on the discord room today if you are there it might be an easier place to ask this question.

No worries. 12 sounds about right -- so I think that puts that all to bed. Thanks for taking a look!

I am a lucky person who thinks that you are very much aware of your information. According to your information, I want to earn a normal income, thank you.

Hello, @anarchyhasnogods recently posted a SBI. It’s essentially a writing challenge asking people to simply define a concept amd research it thoroughly. But I’ll let the post speak for itself: https://steemit.com/steembasicincome/@anarchyhasnogods/steem-basic-income-contest-writing-topic-15-shares-rewards

I have a simple contest that's still going for one more day! Come check it out if you make under ~$1 per post and know someone else who does!

We've received no up-vote on the past two posts @averageoutsider (?) I know things can get overwhelming at times, especially with 'manual' registrations, curation etc. Please advise.

I am not sure about your upvotes but I know steemauto are having some issues. They are the auto voting system @steembasicincome use. They are seperate and its out of SBI's control.

Stick with it all bots seem to be having issue since Steem went down.

Okay...Thanks for reply.

@steembasicincome why is that from @sb3 I was suddenly tranfered to @sb5?

They move people sometimes. It shouldn't effect you upvote value

Unfortunately it did. Before I could atleast get 0.01 now I get 0.00. What's up with that?

I think I read somewhere that they adjust it based on how much you post per week.

They base your upvote on a weekly value. They have a set sp per share per week.

So you vote is devided by however many posts you normally do per week. So if you increase your post rate you decrease your persentage upvote per post. Speading your weekly upvote more thinly.
There are three ways to increase your upvote from SBI.

  1. Buy more shares
  2. Post less frequently (unless you are in pool 7 or 8)
  3. Upvote all @steembasicincome posts to get up to100% bonus shares.

My original bracket was actually @sbi2 but because I've posted 2 to 3 article a day I was downgraded to @sbi3 a few months back. And now I was directly downgraded to @sbi5 and not @sbi4 just because I start posting 2 article a day, again. Are you saying that if I keep posting 2 article a day I would be eventually downgraded to @sbi6 or @sbi7? Is that how your system work?

Its not my system but you have a set amount of sp per share. So if your upvoted from any pool the value would be the same.
The reason they put you in lower pools is to make sure you are getting a good persentage and not a dust vote.
In the higher pools you could drop below 1% and steemauto doesn't accept a persentage lower than that, so they put you in a lower pool. This brings your persentage back up again.

But if you start posting to the point that even @SBI6 is below 1% you will go into @SBI7 or @SBI8. In these pools you only get one upvote a day. This helps to keep those who post a ot from going below 1% upvote.

The main thing is what ever pool you are in your ROI is the same based on a weekly upvote value

If you were getting 0.01 upvotes at your posting frequency, then your upvotes were actually too high, and that's why you were moved. Your estimated WEEKLY value is 0.02 per share (with upvoting bonuses).

As pools grow, members that are not keeping up may be moved into lower pools. This is one reason the lower pools are now rate limited (one or two upvotes per day, depending on the pool).

Question! Yesterday I sent 2 Steem and sponsored 2 people for a SBI share. They haven't recieved notifications about it. Are things running slow, or did I maybe do something wrong?

They have a delay at the moment. Its around 7 days. Plus the owner is away camping.

Thanks!

Your balance is below $0.3. Your account is running low and should be replenished. You have roughly 10 more @dustsweeper votes. Check out the Dustsweeper FAQ here: https://steemit.com/dustsweeper/@dustsweeper/dustsweeper-faq
