You'll benefit when members like myself upvote your comment (where my vote value is quite low), the bot will come along and upvote that comment to a point where you will receive a small payout on it.

That is true

Thank you @farq... And you can send a smaller amount if you don't think you will have many dust posts/comments... It is just a balance that you send in for deposit that will automatically decrease with each dust upvote.

I just sent 0.5 SBD and I got a message back saying my balance is 1SBD.

Seems like a good investment ;)

it should state that you got "$1 of upvote value" for the $0.50 in sbd.... I will talk with @danielsaori tomorrow and we will adjust that language... I think I made the mistake when I first talked about it. But you should like it nonetheless ;)

Ah I think I get what you mean - so if I had have sent 1SBD it would say I have 2SBD of upvote value?

exactly... it is 2x no matter how much you send in! That way it is roughly break even vote value for the extra vote and you will be able to keep the dust vote.

Then that makes perfect sense, though the explanation could be a little bit clearer as you have already suggested
