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.

## Delegation Bonus Shares Increased
After closely reviewing the impact that bonus shares from delegation have on our program, we have decided to **increase** the bonus shares that members receive for delegation!

Existing members can receive bonus shares from delegation. For every 20 SP delegated to @steembasicincome, members will receive 1 bonus share. These bonus shares will be removed if the delegation is withdrawn. Currently each share in pool 1 receives a weekly voting weight of roughly 2.37%. 

If you would like to see how your bonus shares fit into your overall reward, it is provided in our new member tracking sheet. A full explanation is given here:

Any Steemian that is already enrolled in @steembasicincome can delegate as much as they would like, to receive bonus shares. If you are not already a member but would like to delegate, please send an enrollment transaction to @steembasicincome and we will add your bonus shares at the time we process your enrollment.

We appreciate the members that take us up on this!

Let's look briefly at our current delegation sources for pool 1 (all of the delegation for lower pools is leased). The bonus shares shown below are in addition to the total shares in the tables or lists that follow.

## The Daily Sneak Curation Trail
We would also like to announce a new collaboration with [The Daily Sneak](https://steemit.com/@sneakyninja). They provide a daily curation digest that highlights a handful of quality articles, and many of our members have been sponsored by them. The program is run by @josephsavage, who is also the founder and program manager of Steem Basic Income.

The Daily Sneak has launched a [curation trail](https://steemauto.com/dash.php?trail=sneakyninja&i=1) on SteemAuto! Your follow will support the quality content creators that are highlighted in [The Daily Sneak](https://steemit.com/@sneakyninja). It will also regularly upvote the updates on @steembasicincome, for bonus upvote weight! Instead of merely auto-voting @steembasicincome, consider following the @sneakyninja curation trail on SteemAuto!

As an added benefit, @josephsavage will sponsor every Steemian that signs up to the trail for 1 share in Steem Basic Income. This will be added to any shares that you already have! We hope that members will see the benefit of this new service that builds the synergy between these related programs! And don't forget you can always submit your own curation to [The Daily Sneak](https://steemit.com/@sneakyninja) for a nice payout if your submission is published!

## Steem Basic Income Enrollment
Sounds intriguing... How do I sign up?

Send 1 STEEM to @steembasicincome. Include the name of a Steemian to sponsor in the comments. You and the person you sponsor will each receive 1 share in the program.
