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 providing regular upvotes to member content.
Current Membership
We are up to 1590 shares, with 645 members. There are 125 inactive members, and 394 bonus shares from delegation and from upvoting @steembasicincome. If you believe your share count to be incorrect, please let us know and we will happily check it again. There are no more paused members. Any member that would be paused in the first pool has been moved into the second pool so they can get their basic income upvotes from @sbi2.
With the members that would be paused moved into pool 2, all the new members are still being slotted into pool 1. Any members in pool 2 can still move up into pool 1 by increasing their share count high enough that they wouldn't be paused in pool 1.

Enrollment
Sounds intriguing... How do I sign up?
Send 1 STEEM to @steembasicincome. Include the name of a Steemian to sponsor in the comments. You and the person you sponsor will each receive 1 share in the program.
Questions?
We broke down the mechanics for how the program works in the extended introduction, and we hope to provide an updated overview soon. If you have any questions, ask away in the comments section!

I just send 1 steem to you to increase my share and @roldamn by 1 each.
I'm curious to know what software you are using to distribute upvotes?
We currently are using @steemvoter to distribute the upvotes.
Great work. I'm a long way off being able to delegate SP, but give me a few months to build some up :) As always, I'm thrilled to see you and @scottsantens bringing awareness of basic income to steemit.
Thanks for your support!
I see that you're growing exponentially .. Congratulations and keep it up, this is a powerful tool for eliminating the barriers and discouragement that many minnows feel when seeing the poor outcome of their hard efforts 👍👍👍
Growing too fast... everybody stop! J/k we're happy with the rate of growth. The absolute growth is high (number of new members each week), but the percentage growth is slowing. That's actually good for the long-term sustainability. It's much better to grow quickly and then slow so that we have a chance to fine-tune the components before it gets too unwieldy. We're really happy with the current condition, though we will continue to monitor and make changes if necessary.
I think that the slowing down of the curve is just physiological and can be found in several economical phenomena. I'm thinking of a catchy initiative to further promote the steembasicincome within the freewrite community.. maybe if we'll see on discord I'll talk about it with you :-) My only curse is the timezone (i'm in Europe).
I'm listed under single share members, but i've delegated 200sp. Shouldn't that raise my number of shares or is it reflected in a different way?
That's reflected in a different way. These are the actual shares from sponsoring/being sponsored.
We posted the delegation bonus shares here, below the announcement about Discord: https://steemit.com/basicincome/@steembasicincome/steem-basic-income-is-on-discord
We will continue to post an update about bonus shares from delegation at least once a week, but it will usually be a separate update. I will plan to at least link to it in the full member list next time.
Thank you for including me. I am in the second pool with a single share. That is quite a list. I recognize several of the members. I will be sending 1sbd and the name of the person I want to sponsor. Thank you for this opportunity.
Actually, can you please send enrollment transactions in STEEM? We will send the SBD back to you. Thanks!
OOPS. Sorry. Will try again.
Thanks for the report. Very happy to have injected more Steem into this. Will inject more as profits roll.
How long does it normally take after sending the membership fee before it's active?
I process entries in batches, usually once a day, sometimes every two days if things get a little busy. I just finished a batch so all enrollments are current now except for 1 that had a misspelled user name.
Ok, I had sent in for memberships for @beeyou and @lildebbie and wanted to make sure they got set up. Thank you!
I have @beeyou with 4 shares, @lildebbie with 3, and you with 5 shares. The current weekly weight per share on pool 1 is 3.87%. Weekly weight on pool 2 per share is 20.15%. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Sorry, to bug you again. I'm writing an article to show that it makes sense to get a membership. Trying to make sure my math is correct.
So if someone is in Pool 1 they should get a vote on their post that is worth approximately $0.05 per share? And they get 1 vote per day if they post an article?
The weekly upvote per share is the same for every share, but each user has their own weekly upvote weight calculated based on their natural shares and their bonus shares from upvoting @steembasicincome or providing delegation.
Each member then has their weekly voting weight divided by their upvote frequency. It's not 1 vote per day, it's one vote per article, although we will move to 1 vote max per day later.
The actual value of each update varies based on the prices of STEEM, and SBD, as well as whether people post at 50/50 or 100% (50/50 posts get more value). We target an effective SP per share that would recuperate the cost of each enrollment within 180 days (in pool 2) and even faster in pool 1.
Currently new members are being slotted into pool 2, as pool 1 is full.
That's really helpful! Thank you for your help. I appreciate what you do.
Thank you! That's great
Thanks for confirming for us @themanwithnoname!
Actually, while I know you're online (creepy!), what is the current vote value of 1 share? :)
I think a mistake was made. I sent 1 Steem and you returned 1 SBD to me saying I should send Steem? Please see the following image.
Yes, sorry I read the wrong line. It was the person before you that send SBD instead. Just send the SBD back (or sent a new enrollment transaction) and we will expedite it.
I have returned the 1 SBD re enrollment @sequentialvibe.
Thanks.
Thanks! Your enrollment was processed. Sorry about the mixup.
Thanks For Informations.... friends @steembasicincome
Cool, how do I access the program?
Followed
Wow, that's a list! Happy to join as one of the newest baby members.
Good job! Thanks to @sbi2 you have planted 1.57 tree to save Abongphen Highland Forest in Cameroon. Help me to plant 1,000,000 trees and share my Steem Power to the others. Selfvoting is prohibited, but that should be the reason to spread the world to protect our precious environment. Check out profile of our conservation association @kedjom-keku and the founder/coordinator @martin.mikes to get more information about our conservation program. My current SP is 18375.94. Help me to plant more trees with your delegated SP.
Thanks a lot,
your @treeplanter
