Member Upvotes Provide Sustainability 15 September 2019
Steem Basic Income
Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a voluntary crowd-funded basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through regular upvotes to member content.
Support from Members
Thank you all for your support! Upvotes that we receive from members are an important component to continue delivering a sustainable basic income!
Here is a visualization of our incoming votes for the last week.
source: http://www.steemreports.com/incoming-votes-info/?account=steembasicincome&days=7
6.5% of our total value received was from our low 0.96% self-voting. 23.02% of our sustainability coverage is provided by author rewards. Ideally it would be at least 33% (or high enough that our self-vote percentage is higher than our percentage of total value received from that self-vote.)
As would be expected with the changes in the reward pool, our sustainability coverage from upvotes has declined, while our coverage from curation rewards has gone up. Just like we predicted in our descriptions of HF21 several months ago, passing through curation rewards to members results in author portion of rshares delivered being greater than before.
Prior to HF21, we typically delivered ~600M rshares per unit per day (except for when we had conversion profits to cover the sustainability shortfall), and the author portion would have been ~450M. Improved curation rewards have our sustainability multiplier at 128.85% and climbing, which means rshares of ~1000M per day, with author portion ~500M.
Individual results vary much more than before, of course. The actual value of those rshares depends on where you end up on the rewards curve slope. We recommend that members that are struggling cut down slightly on posting frequency to spend a little more time polishing each post. Higher quality attracts more organic upvotes, and more organic curation is happening now than at any point in the last couple of years.
Upvoting Bonuses
Each time we receive author rewards for a post or comment by any official SBI account, we check the value that each member added to the reward. That value will be added to the member's balance, with a multiplier of 1.10x. This essentially works as a 'vote bank', allowing you to bank your extra voting power that you're not using, and then have those rshares returned to your own content.
For example, if you upvote this update by $0.10, then $0.11 would be added to your balance when the post pays out. You are rewarded directly for your contribution to the long-term sustainability of the program! You do still have to be enrolled in @steembasicincome to receive this benefit.
This is a great way to boost the Steem Power for program accounts. If your program (or account) does any self-voting to build a permanent SP base, please consider upvoting @steembasicincome each day instead.

Enrollment
If you want to get involved in Steem Basic Income, or to increase your subscription level, enrollment is pretty straightforward:
Just send 1 STEEM to @steembasicincome. Include the name of a Steemian to sponsor in the transaction memo (preceded by @). You and the person you sponsor will each receive 1 unit in the program. You can sponsor any active Steemian, it does not have to be a current member.
In effect, when you enroll, you are 'curating' another account to receive ongoing support, and at the same time receiving curation rewards - an equal level of ongoing support. If you're unclear, please check out our full transaction memo guidelines and then let us know if you have any questions.

The official currency for enrollment is STEEM. If we choose to accept SBD without refunding it, you do not receive extra value for it. Enrollments are processed automatically every 144 minutes.
