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 regular upvotes to member content.
Support from Members
Thank you all for your support! Upvotes that we receive from members are an important component to keep delivering a sustainable basic income!
Here is a visualization of our incoming votes for the last week.
source: http://www.steemreports.com/incoming-votes-info/?account=steembasicincome&days=7
4.5% of our total value received was from our low 1.79% self-voting. We are coordinating self-voting across our multi-account voting system. Across the program we are only up to about 4.29% self-voting, with a target level of 10%.
Our rising VP has reduced the number of members receive maximum deliverable upvote on each post from our peak of 30 down to only 3.
Due to a glitch and me being away from home and not following my normal daily processes to catch it in time, we did not claim any rewards today on the main account. That means that tomorrow's will jag back up and the overall trend is not as bad as it looks here. It had been flattening out though so it might actually be negative. Curation rewards have been steadily falling over the last couple of months as more and more people are using SteemRewarding and other curation optimizing bots instead of steemauto and steemvoter.
Upvoting Bonuses
Each time we receive author rewards for a post or comment by any official SBI account, we check the value that each member added to the reward. That value will be added to the member's balance, with a multiplier of 1.10x.
For example, if you upvote this update by $0.10, then $0.11 would be added to your balance when the post pays out. In most cases, this means that a vote for SBI is more profitable than a self-vote. You are rewarded directly for your contribution to the long-term sustainability of the program! You do still have to be enrolled in @steembasicincome to receive this benefit.
This is a great way to boost the Steem Power for program accounts. If your program (or account) does any self-voting to build a permanent SP base, please consider upvoting @steembasicincome each day instead.
(Official SBI Accounts: @steembasicincome, @sbi2, @sbi3, @sbi4, @sbi5, @sbi6, @sbi7, @sbi8, @sbi9, @sbi10, @sbi-booster. Our automated system dynamically selects the best account to deliver your upvote at the time of upvote delivery.)
Steady Growth
We currently have 4896 members that have posted or commented within the last 28 days. Members that are not posting continue to accrue their pending upvote balance, and upvotes will resume automatically when they return. There are currently 211033 subscribed units in the program, up from 206477 last time we published this report seven days ago.
Sustainability Coverage
Sustainability Coverage is currently at 74.81% and rshares reward rate is 591,038,220 per SBI unit per day. In a 50/50 curation environement, we expect a swift increase in our sustainability coverage, resulting in members earning rshares for their upvote balance at a much faster rate (offsetting most or all of the author reward reduction from 75% to 50%).
You can help increase the sustainability coverage (and the rshares reward rate on regular units) by delegating to @steembasicincome or by regularly upvoting our updates and upvote reports.
For more information, please read Into the Heart of Sustainability.
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 unit 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.

The official currency for enrollment is STEEM. If we choose to accept SBD without refunding it, you do not receive extra value for it.
Enrollments are processed automatically every 144 minutes.
