The rules on this one are a little unclear, so maybe @madstacks can clarify. It looks like if you upvote it adds your name to the list, and whenever the post rewards add up to enough, they sponsor a member from the list. This is an interesting concept that has already sponsored several mmembers."
Hi steembasicincome, i certainly can clarify! I am a curator for upfundme
upfundme is a community on steemit where users can crowdfund for items and projects - as a community incentive I run a steembasicincome reward program - active upfundme users are entered into this program for being part of our community.
I looked at it and I'm still confused by the system.
Do one become a member with upvoting #upfundme posts? Or upvoting the mentioned posts from steembasicincome (so your post)?
Or do we have to start our own crowdfund? And how to start even one? What can be funded?
I could totally use a faq right now. 😂
Hi takowi, its is our community members running a upfundme crowdfund that are entered, however, those who regularly upvote my post can potentially earn more steembasicincome shares as once the list is complete for that month any remaining shares will be distributed at my discretion to those I feel have contributed.
you can read the upfundme rules here.
Thanks for coming back to clarify. So it sounds this is an upfundme crowdfund to sponsor shares for anyone that runs an upfundme crowdfund.
So running an upfundme crowdfund gets you on the list, and then upvoting your upfundme crowdfund is what funds memberships for the people on the list?
It's a little complicated, but who am I to judge? Something about glass houses...
Thats exactly right, regular posters of upfundme crowdfunds will be entered on the list, and those who upvote my "Upvote Crowdfund - Community Steembasicincome" posts regularly may earn extra shares. General community contribution (ie upvotes on others upfundme posts) is also taken into consideration.
Its a pretty simple system right now but as upfundme grows it may be refined a bit.
Thanks for the answer, but I don't think that I would have something crowdfunding worthy. 😅
Maybe some other time.
You can crowdfund a trip to Vegas for the Steem Creators Conference to see me speak. :D
That might be a little ambitious to crowdfund before April 13... but if you have a good backup plan you might get some upvotes.
Great idea, but really hefty ambitious.
But it would be really funny to tell my friends : "The internet crowdfunded me cryptocurrency for a trip to Las Vegas." 😂
Maybe I'm going to start less quite ambitious, money for a new computer or crowdfund myself over the FVL from shadowbot which is right somewhere above 645 SP. 😁
We have members funding all sorts of things from drones to raspberry pi, cameras to motorhome parts! Charity funds may get more organic upvotes but almost anything can be crowdfunded;)
