New tool on HiveTools: The HSBI Utility

[thecrazygm]

Hey everyone,

I'm happy to announce the addition of another tool to the collection on the HiveTools site: the HSBI Utility.

While it's easy enough to send a manual transaction to @steembasicincome to sponsor someone, I wanted to create a tool that adds a couple of quality-of-life checks to make the process smoother and less error-prone. I'm going to use our @friendlymoose as a test subject for this post.

1. Nominee Lookup

First, the tool has a Nominee Lookup that checks to make sure the Hive account you want to sponsor actually exists. You would be surprised how many typos make their way to the HSBI server, and this simple check can prevent you from sending HIVE with the wrong memo and having to wait for a manual correction by @josephsavage.

2. Detailed Membership Info

Once an account is found, the tool displays a detailed breakdown of their HSBI membership status. This includes their total, base, and bonus shares, their pending balance, the estimated value of their next upvote, and their latest activity on the blockchain.

3. Simple, Error-Free Purchasing

Finally, the tool provides a simple form to purchase the HSBI shares. The nominee's account is already filled out for you, which ensures the memo sent to @steembasicincome is constructed correctly to sponsor the right person. The transaction is then sent securely with Hive Keychain.

It's a simple tool, but I hope it proves to be a super useful one for the community.

As always,
Michael Garcia a.k.a. TheCrazyGM

That Nominee Lookup is the winner for me, ty;po protection and my fat finger typos finally get a babysitter :)
The detailed membership panel with next upvote estimate makes it easy to sanity check value before buying, and the pre filled memo to @steembasicincome keeps the sponsor aligned.
This look super helpful for folks who run small budgets like me, and I love that it stays Keychain first without bugging any ADmin.

Thank you for your work on this, HSBI / SBI was one of the projects that kept me coming back and engaged with the platform. Now I am stuck and entangled, and will likely never leave :)

By the way, is it possible to sell HSBI units?

[steembasicincome]

Presently you can sell OTC (over-the-counter) by negotiating directly with other parties and then using the auto-transfer functionality we recently released.

Soon there will be conversion available to a Hive Engine curation token with a program-supported price floor.

thx for that quick answer

Thank you Michael for this easy-to-use HSBI tool. Today's another day that you have made Hive an even better place than it was yesterday. Much appreciated.

Cool tools, just checked it out. I'm trying to build more hsbi, just sent a 10 to my brother @relf87

[relf87]

Thanks!

[captainquack22]

Lets build each other up a little if youre feeling frisky Relf. Its a nice boost to our posts.

[relf87]

Sure! Just did it - hope I did it correctly!

That's cool. Having to do it all just with a transfer has potential for mistakes. I used to give out shares and may look at it again.

Thanks and !BEER

This new tool is a very definite improvement over the usual method of sponsoring HSBI shares, excellent job! I think this would be very useful for communities. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
