RE: Dustsweeper FAQ

in #dustsweeper6 years ago (edited)

@danielsaori @davemccoy I have seen the dustsweeper name around for a while but today read a post about it (by @curatorcat) and finally understand the concept. I am confused though. Some posts and comments do in fact pay out even if they are under $.02. Although I already knew this to be true, I ran a quick SteemSQL query to pop up some results to show it - see screencap for examples of comments that paid out recently well under $.02

Have you checked if it was in fact true that posts/comments under $.02 don't pay out?

EDIT - now that I am poking around more, I am not seeing payouts of less than .01 though. There may be a minimum .01, checking into that now. But there are definitely payouts between .01 and .02

EDIT 2- part of what was confusing me is that there are apparently two different "dust threshold" terms on Steem blockchain :) I was familiar with the voting dust threshold that is being changed under HF20, which has nothing to do with a minimum payout. But I am still confused as to why I see comments paying out under $.02 :)

cool thanks for explaining! I knew I had seen payouts smaller than $.02 when I was looking at payout history. Cheers

Hey Carl, its what he said :P .... The STU is what we mean by what has to be above 0.019 in order to pay out. So if it shows .02, then it might be only .016 and there would be no payout. :)

Thanks for the great answer!
