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.
Still Going Strong
We are up to nine pools, so your upvotes could come from 
Pool 1 accounts voted

With so many inactive members, we have only been able to upvote 284 of the members in pool 1! This represents a 29% inactivity rate in pool 1. We will continue to move inactives into an inactive list after 4 weeks or so. Since rebalance cycles take time to process, the exact cutoff for movement to the inactive list is flexible.
When a member on the inactives list begins posting again, we will see that in our data refresh and reactivate them into our lowest pool. From there they may begin moving up through the pools again as we continue our rebalance cycles.
Management shares are created at a rate of 5% of regular shares. Since 
Allocations have also been granted to

We have flattened the premium that higher pools received (it was never much, and realistically made no impact after rounding) and will be gradually removing the share maximums in each pool over the next few rebalance cycles. We are trying to do this in a way that minimizes the number of members that are receiving 100% upvotes and losing some of their value. Expect to see less evenness in the slices of members that had capped out multiple pools, as some of their shares start to migrate toward the higher pools.
More changes will be announced over the next few weeks as we continue to lay the groundwork for transitioning to fully automated system. Keep an eye on our regular updates!

Under our partially manual system, we upvote in full integers (e.g. 1%, 2%, etc) and we usually move people down only when their upvote % drops below 0.50%, so it would round to 0% instead of 1%. As pools grow, the value difference represented by a range of only 1% has grown significantly. This is one of the reasons why we have transitioned from 500 members per pool to only 400 members per pool.

Last week, I suggested that 
Surprisingly, he topped the pool again this week. This indicates that some other factors may be at play, so I will have to investigate further. Even this anomaly will disappear when we move into our new system.

Pool 8 upvotes come from !

Similar logic applies in pool 8. Since most members have only a few shares, the few that have many but have not advanced out yet are represented with large slices. Like 
Pool 9 upvotes come from .
We have been enrolling new and reactivated members into pool 9. Typically the largest slice in the newest pool will go to somebody that enrolls with enough shares for 100% upvotes and has not been moved up. Assuming something unexpected isn't happening here too, we should expect the breakdown to look a little different by the next Voting Report.
Conclusion
Since we want members to receive their full bonuses from upvoting, the goal for how many upvotes are needed to reach the full bonus will continue to be based on our actual number of updates, instead of our target of once daily.
