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.
Upvotes by Voting Account
Our automated system selects the highest VP account that can deliver the upvote value each time. If the full vote cannot be delivered by a single account, the post may be upvoted by several accounts. Only the rshares value actually voted is removed from the member's pending upvote balance.
In cases where 20% of pending vote balance is greater than the 100% maximum deliverable upvote from all ten voting accounts, the unvoted amount remains in pending upvote balance until eventual upvote delivery. This applies to only 3 accounts that have posted within the last seven days.

SCOT tokens
Steem Basic Income received 2190 PAL in the airdrop. We are using the curation and rewards to spread PAL and other SCOT tokens ( #weedcash, #sct, #spt, #steemleo, #mot ) across our full voting account structure, in order to provide SCOT token author rewards as a bonus to SBI members participating in those communities.
We have staked our LEO across the 8 lower voting accounts. We will continue to spread SCOT curation rewards to reach target token stake levels across the full voting account structure. We are open to staking additional SCOT tokens as they begin to gain traction.

Enrollment
To enroll in Steem Basic Income, or to increase the level of basic income that you receive, enrollment is pretty straightforward:
Just send 1 STEEM to
We currently recommend a subscription level of at least 4 SBI to ensure an upvote is received at least once per week. Increasing your subscription level results in more frequent upvotes until you are being upvoted on every post. Then it results in larger upvotes instead.
Please check out our full transaction memo guidelines and let us know if you have any questions.

The official currency for enrollment is STEEM. We accept SBD at our discretion but you do not receive extra value or any partial refund for paying in SBD instead of STEEM. If we choose to accept an SBD enrollment, we accept the entire amount. If we choose to reject it, we refund the entire amount and request you to send STEEM instead. Enrollments are processed automatically every 144 minutes.
