# 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.

# RPC Node Issues
Please note that there were RPC Node issues again yesterday with the voting services we use. It appears that everything is working again now. If you still miss votes, please verify whether you were restricted by posting frequency first. (Pools 8 and 9 are limited to one vote per day, and pools 4 through 7 and limited to only two votes per day).

We do not normally catch up missed votes because of the manual effort it would involve. When we move into our new system, we will calculate whether each member should start with value that was previously missed. 

In the new system, missed votes will not result in any lost value, as the 'balance' will just roll forward to the next votes. A full post explaining how the new system works will be coming out soon.

# Enhanced Support Graph
We first published this graph that 'maps' the interrelationships in our member pool a few months ago. Here is our graph and analysis from last time we published it:

And here is the graph from this week:

*(img source http://www.steemreports.com/votes-graph-enhanced/?accounts=steembasicincome)*

It only shows people that regularly upvote each other or @steembasicincome, but with multiple shares for bigger upvotes. That makes sense, because we have over 3500 active members across nine pools. All of those interrelationships would be too much for this chart.

There continue to be a lot of interrelationships in our cluster this time, which we believe is a healthy development. I'd like to think that the opportunity to talk to each other in our [discord channel](https://discord.gg/VpghTRz) contributes to that, along with the amazing contests that so many of our top members enjoy hosting! 

No comparison today, because I wanted to get this out quickly (along with the RPC update).

## Delegation Bonus Shares

Existing members can receive bonus shares by delegation. For every 10 SP delegated to @steembasicincome, members will receive 1 bonus share. Any Steemian that is enrolled in @steembasicincome can delegate as much as they would like, to receive bonus shares. 

### Here are some Handy Delegation links:

## 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 are not currently accepting SBD for enrollments. Please allow 6-7 days for enrollments to be processed.

## Questions?
Most questions are addressed in our [FAQ](https://steemit.com/steembasicincome/@steembasicincome/steem-basic-income-frequently-asked-questions) or in the additional resources that it suggests. To review your share counts, we recently released a new [member lookup tool](https://steemit.com/steembasicincome/@steembasicincome/new-sbi-member-lookup-tool).
