If you haven't heard of @dustsweeper, it's a new service that will upvote your dust comments!!!
My Dust comments!?!? What the heck does that mean?
We have decided to tackle a problem that disproportionately affects newbies and minnows alike. It might seem small, and it is. In fact, it is so small we refer to it as dust. But just because its small, doesn't mean it's not meaningful. It adds up economically, but even more important it makes users with lesser vote values feel like their votes don't matter. This is especially true on comments.
How much does it cost me to clean up the dust???
There is no membership fee whatsoever, but there is a charge of $0.014 SBD for every dust vote we cast. That is half of the value of the upvote of $0.028. The way we keep track of it is that you send about 1 SBD/STEEM or more, we double the amount and keep the balance on hand. Every time we upvote your dust we will just take it from that balance. For example, you will get 71 dust votes before your 1 SBD runs out. When you get low on your balance, you will be notified so that you can top-up your @dustsweeper balance and be sure you don't miss any votes.
Who do I thank for such an awesome service???
Dustsweeper is a community bot run by witness @danielsaori
This is a joint project by @davemccoy and @danielsaori and it's supported and operated by witness @danielsaori. The goal behind this service is to help the newbies and minnows get paid on the votes they already have, not to make a profit. The fees we charge should equal the cost to run the service and lease the SP to make those votes. If the bot makes a profit, then the surplus will be used do other things to help the community.
The logo was inspired by this awesome new service, I have been creating new logos and banners for another group @thehive and decided when I found out there was an awesome service just beginning I had to give it a go. So I made the logos for @dustsweeper to use if they would like. A gift from me to you!!
Here are a few others for you all at @dustsweeper to have as well! If you would like me to change anything for you I will happily assist!!!
I have already gotten my dustsweeper started!!! So far the votes are coming in and I am one happy steemian!!!
@charisma777 its people like you that steemit the wonderful place it is. Beautiful job on the banners and logo thanks for being one of the wonderful steemit people. I found you because of your comment on the @dustsweeper post.

Well thank you!! I have enjoyed creating them!! Also reading through your blog a bit and I've been looking into the clouds for years the sky isn't what it once was! I know it's of the topic here but always one I am interested in! Check this picture out!! Strange clouds
The strange thing and it's not showing much in this low quality image but they almost looked animated In a way. Just those above the trees...i take so many pictures of the sky. It truly is an ever changing beauty. Aside from the spraying.

The lower clouds are Strato-Cumulus clouds and the ones showing some billowing and vertical development are Cumuliform or Cumulus clouds of fair weather. Not at all unusual.

Yes there is something about the beauty of the natural things that we can never replicate even with he best pictures. I still takes pictures of the sky just not as often as I used to. I now live in a place where I have more woods. So the sky pictures a not the same because of the angle. Sunsets and rising or storms coming in are the most beautiful of all.
I have a ton of awesome pictures that are fpx format I have not converted. I had Kodak digital camera DC200 when it came out. 1MP pictures lol. I took pictures with it for 6 years. Soon I will try to convert them and start posting.
Thanks for the reply. I am glad we found each other.
Maybe I can hire you to make some banners and Logos for our new online store we are trying to get off the ground? Were having problems finding the right companies to dropship for us. We want to have an online Organic clothing store that covers all Organic clothing and linens. We have everything ready just need to find the right products.
I joined your discord as well!

Very nice logo, I like it. And while we are talking about @dustsweeper, I would like to share this thought with people thinking about it:
"When we sign up for @dustsweeper it is not only ourselves that we are helping, more importantly it is the vote giver that we are helping also. If their vote is dusted away, they receive no curation reward, if it is rescued they get a curation reward. We all win."

I think when they first came out with it, people were seeing it as a selfish thing for people to join, a new way to buy votes, I don't think they saw it as helping the voter at all. That is what I saw when they first came out with it, I get a reward, and the voter gots their reward. I think it is great, I looked back on my comments almost most 3 days worth, and I saw 14 $0.01 votes, that was 14 people that were going to lose out on a vote value, so even though I did not have much SBD saved I still sent it all in. So I don't look at them as paid for votes, more as "Rescued" votes. I think what @dustsweeper is doing is great, I hope they are able to maintain the momentum.

I stopped upvoting comments too when i heard about dust votes. I was actually kind of pissed that all my 1 and 2 cent votes disappeared. Where do they go? It was a lot them. A lot of people got nothing and i wasted my time and voting power. I admit i don't understand this service. I don't get any votes on my comments and i only vote on peoples posts now. I like what you're all doing but wonder if it would be any point in me signing up? I apologize for being so dense! :)

Why would Steemit adjust algorithms to do that and hurt the entire minnow community? Even though I have some voting power, if I want to adjust my slider to .02, that should be my perogative! Where is all this dust going?

Just heard about this last night and I am SO EXCITED about it. It's coming at a perfect time right now because I'm trying to throw votes at everyone entering my contest and my SP is right on the edge of what will pay out, so otherwise I'm sure half of them would turn to dust. I wasn't upvoting my comments and showing appreciation for my followers, either, because there was no use, and I felt really bad. This is fixing a huge problem for me that I've been up against with Steemit. Thank you thank you thank you @danielsaori!

My only issue is how some people are advertising it. Don't comment off topic advertising for services. It creates spam. Someone did that to me yesterday and I think this is great for minnows whose vote is worth very little but he didn't seem to get I have my slider and if I have a little dust here and there I am not worried about it. I like what the program is about and thought about donating some steem to them in the future for it. But I don't want signed up for it. I am not worried about comment dust. And I have only had one or two dust posts. So please tell people not to spam comments to promote this project. It will turn people off and get the project flagged for comment spam if they don't stop. Making a post about @dustsweeper the way you have is the way to do it.

This just occurred to me--and I think I'm going to write up a post about it, maybe. @dustsweeper has the potential to change the game for newbies in a totally different way, which is that if you have @dustsweeper enabled, greeting newbies in #introduceyourself could potentially be very profitable. Newbies don't know not to upvote all of their comments, so they tend to start off by upvoting everyone who greets them. I know this sounds diabolical and manipulative, but it's a win/win because it might get more people in the habit of greeting people in #introduceyourself, even if only in self interest. (Tagging @danielsaori, @beeyou, and @davemccoy.)

Hello! Yes if you go to your wallet to the steem dollar amount there is a tiny triangle next to it, if you click on that a drop down menu will appear, click transfer, in the send to box that pops up you will send to @dustsweeper then the amount you would like to send, for now 1 sbd will suffice. Then you will put in the memo register or clean up the dust, anything really. Then you will be prompted to put in your password and then you are on your way to getting that dust cleaned up! Once your balance is low @dustsweeper will kindly remind you too top off if you choose!! Glad you have found this service and hope that I was able to help!
