So basically these HSBI are for sale?.... And how does the HSBI bot (which account is that?) know who exactly I would like to sponsor? I mean to give the HSBI to @claudiavb and not to someone else? !wine
To sponsor someone for HSBI and get HSBI units for both of you, just send a HIVE transfer to @steembasicincome of a whole number (such as 1, 2, 5, 10, etc.) only and add the name of the Hive user (with the @ or "at" symbol) on the memo. 🤓 !PIZZA
For example, if you want to sponsor 1 HSBI unit for @savvytester, just send 1 HIVE to @steembasicincome so that both @svanbo and @savvytester will get 1 HSBI unit. 😆😅 !wine
And like this they got added permanently into both wallets? Or is it only temporarily? !PIZZA !LUV
Sponsoring someone for HSBI is permanent (unless a Hive user with HSBI units has gone against the HSBI rules). 🤓 !LUV
I almost sent you some, but just in time I reconsidered that you cannot do anything with them since you're not posting. I've sent some to @claudiavb instead. But they aren't appearing yet. It's probably taking some time !wine
If ever I publish a post a year later, then 1/3 of the HSBI balance that I accumulated will be applied to that post as curation. 😅 !wine
Anyway, I see that you have sponsored the Hive account of your daughter @claudiavb with 10 HSBI units, and delegated 200 Hive Power to the HSBI bot which gives you 100 bonus HSBI units until you withdraw the delegation. 🤓
That's right. Afterwards I considered that the sponsoring isn't a very good idea, since it costs me hive, which is gone, while delegations culd be altered or withdrawn any moment. And apart from that these 200 HP as a delegation won't make a big difference on the total... I'll consider to delegate more, after powering up in 2 weeks... !BBH !PGM !CTP
@savvytester! Your Content Is Awesome so I just sent 1 $BBH (Bitcoin Backed Hive) to your account on behalf of @svanbo. (1/1)
We can say that buying permanent ("lifetime") HSBI units is for the long term, while delegating HP to get temporary bonus HSBI units is better for the short term. 🤔🤓
Let's say that delegating is both long and short term, it's just more flexible !wine
I can't say for certain if HSBI is "for sale", as it is marketed as Social Experiment to provide every Hiver with Stake Based Income according to the steembasicincome Hive account's profile description. 🤯 !BEER
Anyway, you can type !sbi status to get the latest update regarding your HSBI. 🤓
Just type it on any comment. 🤓 I don't know if it works on posts. 😅 !WEED
Hi @svanbo!
Structure of your total SBI vote value:
After 6 days of having only 28 "regular" units (and 0 bonus units), you now have 49 "regular" units (and 100 bonus units). 🤓
Yes, after some sponsoring and delegating... And winning 1 HSBI as well !LOL !wine
The more Hive Power you delegate to the steembasicincome Hive account, the more bonus HSBI units you will have, and that means more incoming curation for most (or every one) of your posts (unlike #dustsweeper or #dustbunny which simply makes the dust votes on your content or the content you curate get paid out). 🤔😎 !PIZZA !LUV
Hi @savvytester!
Structure of your total SBI vote value:
If all 92.77% of my HSBI shares came from my "subscription level", I wonder where the rest which is 7.23% came from. 🤯😅 @svanbo
oh just like this in a comment? What are bonus units and how to get them?
!sbi status
Hi @svanbo!
Structure of your total SBI vote value:
You can get bonus credits by delegating your Hive Power to an HSBI bot. 🤓 The bonus is removed when the delegation is withdrawn. 😏 !LUV
You have to delegato to @steembasicincome for bonus units. We don't monitor delegation changes on the other accounts except for a couple people that delegate >5200 for weekly payments.
The ratio is 1 bonus unit for each 2 HP delegation. We recommend you have enough HP to consistently deliver 0.02 on a comment before you delegate to any third party unless you are rarely curating.
Please explain why the structure of the HSBI vote values don't total to 100% according to HSBI bots, such as this. 😅
That's a very old functionality that we thought would provide users with more insight into their votes, but it has never been accurate.
Originally it had subscription, bonus units, and upvote rewards. It didn't add to 100% because every account starts with enough pending value to receive their first upvote immediately. That was added as a fourth section, but there is no field in the DB that stores that value. Users that transferred their units and pending value across from Steem would also have a boost in that category.
It should just be 100% less the other three values, but in any case... most people don't have bonus units, and there is no reward for upvoting for the last four years or more. It doesn't provide much in the way of information; people mostly ignore it, and it hasn't been a priority to fix.
Maybe you should just add an "other sources" field on the HSBI bot's response so that the total percentage will always be 100%. 😅
Thanks for the response! 😀 I believe @svanbo would find your official answer useful. 😎
You already got an official answer there. 😎 !wine
However, I haven't checked if delegating Hive Power with a fractional part (such as 1.500 HP) will provide you with 0.75 bonus HSBI units, or if it will be rounded down to the lower whole number. 🤔😅
There are no partial units, so it always rounds down to the lower whole number.
I saw it, but I don't understand the "weekly payments" in "a couple people that delegate >5200 for weekly payments." !wine
Maybe he means that the other HSBI Hive accounts (that isn't steembasicincome) aren't monitored for Hive Power delegations (which will award bonus HSBI units) except for those who have delegated huge amounts (more than 5,200 HP). 🤔 !LUV
Maybe if you want to delegate to a random HSBI bot, try to make it more than 5,200 HP. 😆😅 !WEED
Don't delegate to random HSBI bots without discussing it with me first. The bot only checks delegation on the main account, and I look at the delegating accounts to confirm delegation is unchanged each week for the negotiated leases, not at the accounts they delegate to.
If you delegate to any HSBI account other than @steembasicincome, nobody will ever see it and you will get no direct benefit, unless you plan to delegate more than 5200 and discuss it with me first.
I don't know why I would delegate to other accounts than the main account for the same purpose? I'll delegate some more to @steembasicincome as soon as I upvote in 12 days... !wine
