Hello all! I’d like to endorse a fantastic initiative called @dustsweeper and it’s creators @davemccoy and Steem Witness @danielsaori, to all of my diehard screaming fans out there (all 337of you while writing this, half of them probably fake). Please also consider voting @danielsaori as a witness just like me! I recommend that anyone stumbling upon this post, go and check out his profile to see for yourself at how many great community minded projects he is involved in on steemit, that benefits us all.
But before I begin with the hard sell, please allow me to share a couple of completely irrelevant stories about my childhood. Why? Well why not…
When I was a tiny movable object, I realised from early on that my father was a tyrranical dictator. He was constantly on our backs to help with his home ‘projects’. His favourite hobby was to smash the door down at 7am on the weekends, and say “It’s midday, why are you still sleeping? We have things to do!!!” Yep, that is called Greek dad ‘time’ folks, where somehow their clock is completely out of sync with reality. Those ‘things’ were moving used bricks from one corner of the yard to the other every week for about the first 12 years of my life, because we just had nothing better to do! Funnily enough every time those bricks moved, they constantly got in the way of the next project he had for us. It was a neverending cycle.
So finally one sunny morning, he told us to move the bricks to a completely different and new location. He told us “Today, a bricklayer is on his way to build us a new fence”. My brother and I had smiles from ear to ear. We thought FInallllyyyyyy it’s over!!! So we asked him him why are we building a new fence, when there’s nothing wrong with the one we already have.
He said “We need to make room for the new bricks that are being delivered tomorrow”. WTF…. 😠 😣 😡
MORAL OF THE STORY…Dusty bricks have value, so use them to build a fence.
Now onto my dear mother….She had a duster at her diposal within arms length at all times.. Why? It was a damn conspiracy! Everywhere she looked there was dust. If she could have surgery to attach a duster to her hip permanently, she would have done it, guaranteed! So one day of course, I asked my mother “Why are you so obsessed with dust?” She smiled and said, “Without dust, there would be no new life”.
So the other day, I told her about steemit for the first time, and about the @dustsweeper idea, and she got all excited with the very mentionng of the word dust, of course. She was so into the idea, that I ceated a steemit account for her called mummysweeper, so she can see it in action first hand. @mummysweeper loves it!
MORAL OF THE STORY….To regenerate life, you must first sweep away the old dust.
So there you have it…’Old stuff’ can be recycled and re-used for many purposes, and you may even profit from it! Which is where we come full circle and back to the original point of this post:- @dustsweeper!
Here is a very brief explanation of how it works and how it can help everyone, but in particular newbiews and minnows. @dustsweeper finds any upvotes attributed to your account up to 6 days old that are considered ‘dust’ (below the thresholed that is considered for payout) and sweeps them with an upvote, to turn that same 'dust' into a profitable vote. How cool is that!
Here is the original post, where you can find an in depth explanation of how it all works from the official account of @dustsweeper itself.
I have personally committed myself to this initiative by becoming a life supporter. I will support it until I kick the dust!
Until the day you kick the dust, they will sweep your dust (but don't worry they won't clean you up).
am using this it works perfectly. :) its nice to get the dust out less frustration
good to get more user aware of this to. feels this should be common knowledge.

Son of Zeus knows he won’t be getting any curie support. He has the healthy support of a whale some days. Plus, real life politics is a no no with curie and that’s his interest.

Hi @yogajill, happy to see you here! That is so sweet how you always think of me when you come across a witness post. I haven’t seen that post, but will make some time to stop by and read. To be honest, real life is so busy that I haven’t been on Steemit much lately. I can’t wait until life gets less busy so I can come back and enjoy the convos on here.

Finally made my way back. Mummysweeper would be proud how you’re making dust great again. I’m surprised you didn’t grow up to be a bricklayer given all that childhood experience with bricks. Or perhaps you are one but just enjoy the world of politics too. 😉
This post reminds me of your Greek Easter writing style. Fun & entertaining, not at all tainted with the sarcastic humor we all seem to develop after some time on this lovely platform.

I love dust sweeper but I love that brick story even more. That kind of thing is only so funny because of the grain of truth. People like that do exist and I know where there is a pile of bricks to prove it. 😏

My dad also had a pile of rocks we moved from one side of the yard to the other every time we said we were bored or had nothing to do. It sucked. We lived in Arkansas where the old saying is for every rock you pick up 2 more grow back. It is true. lol.
