Are you receiving regular votes from any account named @sbi2, @sbi3, @sbi4... or any other like that? If so, you're already in the program.
If that's the case, you can follow this post and find the tools to check your current SBI balance:
https://busy.org/@steembasicincome/steem-basic-income-membership-update-pulling-back-the-screen
If not, you need to enrol in the the program first, either by waiting for someone to sponsor you... or by joining yourself, by sponsoring somebody else.
This costs 1 STEEM and both you and the user you sponsor will get a share. For example, if you want to sponsor @liliana.duarte, you'll need to sent 1 STEEM to @steembasicincome with the memo @liliana.duarte
Both you and her will get 1 SBI added to your SBI balances.
Voting for @steembasicincome with 100% every time, that basically doubles the shares you own. If you stop voting, that bonus will also drop...
I hope this has been helpful. Please check @steembasicincome's posts to clear any doubts.
Yes, thanks, Ricardo. I did all of that, sponsored 3 persons and voting 100% but no sbi nothing until now..... Shall I wait? because only completed everything today...
Oh, yeah... it takes a few days for the registration to complete. Since it's the first time you get SBI shares, you'll receive a wallet message when it's active. After that, you'll have to keep an eye on the xls document, to keep track of your SBI shares.
But you'll probably realise it sooner, when the upvotes kick in.
Ok, my friend, but what xls document are you talking about? They post it on a regular post? And I guess @melinda010100 has transferred on behalf of me some while ago, but I haven't seen anything.
Anyway, I will wait for their memo and to get some steem available and make a share on your behalf ;))))
Thanks, my friend!
Yes, they share the link regularly, but for simplicity, I just keep this page bookmarked:
Steem Basic Income - Membership Update: Pulling Back the Screen
On that page, the link to the XLS is at the beginning of the page and the rest of the page is an explanation of that XLS file: Membership List Sheet
Thanks a lot! Little by little, it grows...
By the way, you should have received the SBI confirmation already, since today your name is already listed, with 6 shares, under the @sbi7 pool:
Hope you didn't wait too long.
Aw, thanks, my friend, so much to learn... first, to bookmark the pages. Do you do it on your laptop? I mark them but maybe I should mark the blog page and not the particular post, right?
Then, how do you select the part of my post to reply to it?
I will check it out, what do you mean by "Hope you didn't wait too long."?
Thanks!
I will check it out.
Aw, and I haven't received any confirmation.
sbi 7 is what? I mean, it's better be on a low sbi number or high?
And do friend get notifications when you sponsor them?
I can bookmark individual posts, since I am using Busy.org instead of SteemIt.com.
It's a very handy feature. Even more useful, it's the notifications feature.
To quote someone, just start a line with ">"
@sbi7 is the SteemBasicIncome account which is voting for you. The lower the number, the better, as @sbi2 gives more votes per day than the others. You'll get there soon enough. Don't worry.
You should have received a message in your wallet welcoming you to the program. At least, I got one of those.
Only if they are not on the program yet. Otherwise they won't even notice it.
I hope I have cleared up your doubts.
Completely!
Maybe I have to use busy instead of Steemit... I used for a while but I felt weird, it wouldn't look like Steemit, lol!
I won't ;)
