Steem Basic Income

Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a 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.

Steem Creators Conference

I had the opportunity to present Steem Basic Income at the Steem Creators Conference in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. It was an amazing experience, and I really enjoyed it. This is a great video introduction to Steem Basic Income. In addition, I share the future roadmap (SteemBasicIncome 2.0) that we will be developing after we finish automating our current system.
As the program grows, we will start to fill a separate pool with Steem Power that will be dedicated to rewarding program members based on their level of community engagement, and not just on their level of subscription. We're very excited about the potential opportunities around community-building.
I've posted this video previously on @josephsavage, and resteemed when others have posted the official video taken by the #steemcreators film crew, but I decided that it was important to have an official post with the video as well.

Enrollment

If you want to get involved, or to increase the share 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, it does not have to be a current member.

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. We accept SBD at our discretion (usually when they're very close, or when SBD is stronger) 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.
