<h1>Steem Basic Income</h1>
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.

<h2> Enhanced Votes Graph </h2>
We last published this graph that 'maps' the interrelationships in our member pool ten days ago. Here is our graph and analysis from last time we published it:
https://steemit.com/community/@steembasicincome/enhanced-votes-graph-13-february-2019

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, or have high subscription levels for regular upvotes that are too big for our smaller voting accounts to deliver. That makes sense, because we have over 5800 active members that are voted by ten different accounts. All of those interrelationships would be too much for this chart.

I always enjoy comparing the previous graph to the new graph. I like to see what fresh faces appear, along with take note of who disappeared.

<h3> Member spotlight: @marfonso</h3>
One member in the center of our graph, yet not previously spotlighted, is @marfonso. He is a very active member of the SteemitPortugal community, so if you can read Portuguese, definitely check him out! His enhanced graph shows a lot of other Portuguese players, along with a few more promotion services. It's good to see non-English content creators finding a way to make Steem work for them!

<h2> Enrollment </h2>
If you want to get involved, 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 unit in the program. You can sponsor *any* active Steemian (except for yourself), 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.
https://steemit.com/busy/@steembasicincome/transaction-memo-guidelines

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. Confirmation transactions are still manual and typically are sent within 2-3 days. Even if you have not received a welcome transaction, you can check your status using `!sbi status` in any post or comment.
