Should Steemit get Rid Of Dust Threshold?


Steemit has a dust threshold to where earnings on a post have to be at least 3 cents to get a pay out. Anything under that will vanish on the post payout day. I think this just makes it harder for new users. Steemit takes the only thing they can earn. There is dust sweeper but you have to send them at least 1 SBD/Steem. A new user who just made their account won't have any Steem/SBD.

Should Steemit get rid of the dust thing? They have the resource credits thing now so people can't really spam a bunch of posts say they didn't have the dust thing.

The payout threshold is $0.02, not $0.03.
And there is @dustbunny, who take care of people's dust for free.
But I still think that the Steem blockchain should get rid of the payout threshold.
$0.01 or even less amounts can really help redfish/plankton (and even minnow) users in the long term. And people would upvote comments more often.

Oh. When I found Dust Sweeper last year their blog said it was 3 cents.

There is going to be spamming and other complexities.

The resource credit thing helps with spam. Not a major change tho

RC won't stop spamming. It will only reduce spamming.

So new accounts can earn

How can they earn with the dust threshold?

Was contemplating on wether to write yes or no, and this reason was for yes. Sorry I messed it up.

For no, to reduce spam votes from new accounts who upvotes themselves

It is too hard on the blockchain with many millions of meaningless transactions per month clogging the pipes.

It's something else in the zillions things steemers need to learn.

DO NOT VOTE AT A DUST LEVEL for your own account growth and one day your vote will be big enough that you will not have the problem.
