Contests!!

When we launched Steem Basic Income, we started with a contest to make it widely available without people having to pay to join. The Daily Sneak still sponsors 2 to 5 people every day. With this history, we are thrilled to see so many members picking up the baton and holding contests to decide who to sponsor into Steem Basic Income. Great job, everyone!

We have been resteeming contests as we become aware of them, but now we will provide a full listing of the current contests that we could find in the #steembasicincome tag. If you are holding a contest and we missed it, or you announce after this post (we know there is a good one kicking off tomorrow), let us know in the comments. If you want to see more before we mention them, check the #steembasicincome tag in Trending or New and see what's happening!

Checking Registrations

To make it easier to verify your share counts (or figure out who to thank if you have more shares than you thought, we added a Transactions tab (TXIn) to the web sheet that shows all the members. You can search for your name and figure out how many times you have been sponsored (or by whom!)

The link to the Membership Sheet (and an explanation of what all the confusing columns mean) is in this post from a few days ago:

You know how I love complicated! Okay, I actually like to simplify the complicated, but it sure seems like I love complicated, doesn't it? This one seems complicated, but read it twice. It's actually pretty simple and is giving away lots of entries, with daily chances to win!

Enrollment

Sounds intriguing... How do I sign up?

Send 1 STEEM to @steembasicincome. Include the name of a Steemian to sponsor in the comments. You and the person you sponsor will each receive 1 share in the program.

Questions?

We broke down the mechanics for how the program works in the newly updated complete overview. If you still have any questions, ask away in the comments section!

This sounds like a very worthy project, thanks!

I added yours and the edit didn't stick. I'm not sure why.

Ughh.....that sucks. Better luck next time I guess. Sent the first membership fee over a couple hours ago. Where do I go from here with it?

It will be processed in the next batch.

Cool, so if I want my next contest featured, just use #steembasicincome? Cause as soon as I actually enough steem, I'm gonna sponsor two more shares.

yes, if you are giving away shares in Steem Basic Income, use the tag for your post. If it's still running when we do our next contest list, we will include it.

Sweet! I bet that would vastly increase traffic!

Hey i sent 1 SBD and you didn't upvote me till 2 days.

Your upvotes come from @sbi2 right now

Votes are done based on your shares. If you have only one share it is likely you won't get a vote on all your posts if you post daily.
There is only so much voting power regenerating per day ;)

The output is based on shares, not on number of posts. 10 posts per week get the same $ upvotes as one post.

It should still be an upvote on every post, it's just a question of which account it comes from. His upvotes come from @sbi2, so he is not recognizing them.

Great read, I need to start entering all these contests. Thanks for the heads up.

OMG, thank you for the great news @sisygoboom I am one happy camper right now. I really appreciate this great news. 🎉

Would you please resteem my competition as well

Yes. We don't want to resteem too much at once, but yours has been resteemed now.

Thank you. I didn’t want to be annoying, I just wanted it to be noticed :-)

I just signed up and sponsored a friend but I realize I mistyped their name in my comments! I accidentally put a space between the @ and their username. I hope that doesn't mess things up if you're using some kind of API magic to do this...

No worries! We aren't fully automated yet, unfortunately.
