You see the permanence of the sponsored HSBI units as a disadvantage, though some Hive users would see the same permanence as an advantage because they no longer have to (temporarily) delegate their Hive Power to the HSBI bot, where the HP can be used for curating (and claiming free Account Creation Tokens if the HP to be delegated is at least 5,000). 🤓 The main idea of HSBI is lifetime upvotes into your account, and the HP delegation to the HSBI bot provides only "bonuses", and that's only 1 HSBI unit for every 2 HP delegated unlike 2 total HSBI units for you and your selected sponsee for every 1 HIVE sent. 😏 !LUV

Anyway, you can request a partial refund of your "permanent" HSBI units, where you will be provided the amount of HIVE that you got for your own Hive account (which excludes what the other Hive accounts that you sponsored got which is 50%) which you haven't "earned" yet through upvotes. 🤓 That means when initiating a refund, you will get more HIVE back the earlier you request the refund. 😏 !wine

Partial refunds are dependent on the age of the account. Refund eligibility is triggered by major changes to the program. Since the last major change we made was at the time of Hive fork, only members that were with us before that are eligible to request refunds. That's quite a long time ago now.

There are a few whales that will pick up units in over-the-counter arrangements, and they usually go for around 0.50 (since each 1 HIVE creates 2 units). We have some long-term plans to improve liquidity of existing units, but there is not currently active development in that direction.

Looks like SBI unit holders that got their units after the Hive blockchain existed are no longer eligible for refunds (until such time that existing units become less non-liquid). 🤔🤯

Thanks for another long reply! 🤗

The refund policy has always been contingent on material changes in the program. If we change how it works, it's only right to offer people an out, but otherwise it's supposed to be a long-term commitment. We haven't made any material changes in years.

According to their official website: 🤔 !wine

Hive Stake Based Income (Hive SBI) is a social experiment to bring a voluntary crowdfunded basic income to as many Hivers as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Hive SBI is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content.

Looks like you are one of the few Hive users who see that getting temporary HSBI units by delegating Hive Power (which wasn't part of the original plan for the SBI project) is better or more advantageous than the permanent lifetime units. 😅 !LUV
