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.
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. Due to our current VP drawdown, this applies to 22 accounts that have posted within the last seven days.
For more about how upvote delivery works, please read Value Balances and Upvote Delivery.
This shows the total number of upvotes (without respect to size) delivered in the last week. 6920 total upvotes, 1988 accounts upvoted, 10 voting accounts! 49.8% of supported accounts have never sent any STEEM for enrollment. They have been sponsored by other Steemians that support our vision of creating a crowd-funded voluntary basic income.
SCOT tokens
We have decided to simplify our SCOT tracking by consolidating all tokens into the new @sbi-tokens account which trails the other voting accounts. The transition is ongoing, but here are the tokens currently staked on @sbi-tokens.
| Token | Staked | VP |
|---|---|---|
| PAL ( #palnet ) | 112.665 | 44.24% |
| NEOXAG ( #neoxian ) | 78.95 | 75.66% |
| SPORTS ( #sportstalk ) | 757.189 | 91.4% |
| #SCT | 6.593 | 92.7% |
| #SPT | 569.312 | 96.75% |
| #BATTLE | 24 | 96.48% |
| MOT ( #mediaofficials ) | 395.448 | 100% |
| LEO ( #steemleo ) | 148.126 | 97.92% |
| ZZAN ( #zzan ) | 38.015 | 100% |
| #INT | 34.953 | 99.72% |
| #ACTNEARN | 200 | 100% |
| CCC ( #creativecoin ) | 24 | 100% |
| GG ( #steemace ) | 7.71 | 98.64% |
| #JAHM | 503.451 | 100% |
| NATRL ( #naturalproducts ) | 254.762 | 100% |
| #STEM | 28 | 100% |
| #AAA | 259.136 | 100% |
| UFM ( #upfundme ) | 17.031 | 100% |
| WEED ( #weedcash ) | 51.87 | 99.14% |
We will continue to keep tokens staked on @sbi-booster as an added incentive for members to reach the 40 unit target that we believe provides the best user experience.
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 @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 share in the program. You can sponsor any active Steemian (excluding yourself), it does not have to be a current member. Multiples of 1 STEEM are also fine (e.g. 5 STEEM with one name means 5 SBI for each of you).
We currently recommend a subscription level of at least 6 SBI to ensure an upvote is received at least once per week, and a level of 40+ SBI will help you get the best results. 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.
