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.

STEEM only for enrollments
When SBD was higher than STEEM, we accepted either currency. As SBD settles back down toward $1, accepting SBD instead of STEEM will accelerate the dilution of existing members and make it more difficult to uplift the basic income received by all members. Accordingly, we will no longer accept SBD for enrollments. Any future enrollment attempts paid with SBD will be refunded with a message to use STEEM instead.
New feature - delegation bonus shares
We want to repeat this announcement for anybody that missed it. Existing members can receive bonus shares by delegation. For every 25 SP delegated to 
Hive account@steembasicincome, members will receive 1 bonus share. Currently each share receives a weekly voting weight of roughly 8.74%
These bonus shares will be counted before the bonus shares from upvoting Hive account@steembasicincome. So if you have 1 share, received 4 bonus shares from delegation of 100 SP, and then upvoted Hive account@steembasicincome regularly, you could potentially receive upvote weight equivalent to 10 shares instead of only 1!
Any Steemian that is already enrolled in Hive account@steembasicincome can delegate as much as they would like, to receive bonus shares. The approximate APR for this delegation is 27%. That's a 27% annual return to boost everybody's basic income. I don't think it gets much better than that!
Here are some Handy Delegation links:
