How do I join Steem Basic Income?

Steem Basic Income

Steem Basic Income is a voluntaryist social experiment to bring a crowd-funded 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.

Members regularly accrue pending balance, and when their pending upvote balance is high enough, they receive an upvote on their latest post (or next post if their latest post is older than 24 hours), from one or more of our curation accounts.

How do I enroll in Steem Basic Income?

First, you can simply send 1 STEEM (or more - whole numbers only, no fractional units will be allocated) to @steembasicincome and include someone else's account name as the transaction memo.

Second, delegate SP to @steembasicincome. 1 bonus unit is granted per 2 SP delegated and remains in place until the delegation is removed. Bonus units are only available to existing SBI members, so you need to send an enrollment transaction first!

The official currency for enrollment is STEEM.

I have SBI and receive upvotes.

How can I give SBI to someone else, enough so he receives those upvotes in the future too?
How many units are needed for an upvote of let's say 1$?

Thank you.

Enroll others by sending 1 STEEM (or multiple ) to @steembasicincome with their name in the transaction memo.

The units required for various vote values depend on STEEM price along with posting frequency. It was recently benchmarked at 60 SBI for daily $0.021 upvote, so $1 would be about 50x that. That's about 3000. That's an estimated APR of about 24%

Thank you. This is the clear answer/calculation I needed to promote this.

@wakeupkitty.pal Can you do me a favour and enroll me 😊

I can if I upvote you this way but with my Hive I only want to reward stories. If you write a good story you can tag me.

You have no SBI yet?

I think this is what you are searching for right.

This is the right command, but you have to be enrolled for it to work.
