RE: Steem Basic Income - A Waterfall of Sustainability
Dear @steembasicincome. I am new here and happily excited to be part of a basic income experiment, as I am interested about the idea already for quite some time.
I have a few beginners questions:
1: Is there a discord chat for communicating and joining in the discussion? I would be very happy about a direct communication channel.
2: Is there a way to see how many people make part of this, what their names are and how many shares they have as that is very important for transparency.
3: Instead of using SteemVoter, do you have the possibility to program your own bot and maybe even link it to a simple graphing webpage that runs by itself to make daily / weekly / monthly summaries for all members to gain insight? That would be amazing!
4: To make this really work it must be possible to receive the income also without doing anything, otherwise we are nothing else but a vote bot and can really call it basic income. So how can we pay EVERYONE making part of this? Maybe through a steem transaction?
We have a channel within the @earthnation discord now. https://discord.gg/fpSnkFM
We previously published this every couple of days and now will be publishing this weekly. I'm working on it right now and it will come out in a few hours.
This is part of our long-term plan.
What you are suggesting would require us to have an outside source of income that would create a STEEM flow that could be directly paid out.
In fact what makes @steembasicincome work is that the income is paid out through upvotes- meaning the income is newly created SP/SBD. That doesn't requires us to have outside cash flows.
When we program our own bot, we will enhance it to deliver to comments along with posts, so that active Steemians that register as inactive because they post infrequently can still receive their upvotes. It will always pay out using upvotes, not STEEM transactions.
Thank you for your answers @steembasicincome. Very much appreciated!
