So, this doesn't appear to have worked... @bafspotlight got 2 upvotes in his original post here, but there was still $0 payout. Am i missing something?

Not sure why it missed that comment (it occasionally misses one of mine too) but I can see dustsweeper votes on other comments that @bafspotlight has made

well, i just signed up. I have a bunch of friends who are < .01 vote value (as is my vote value)... if i can boost their upvotes to actually count I will consider this a win. (even though i don't actually benefit from it). I suppose if i can convince a few of my friends to do the same, we will all benefit :)

Actually you're the one that will benefit as it is the small votes on your comments that get topped up when your friends vote. When they see you getting paid off they may follow suit.

ok, i see what may have happened... your upvote on my comment is currently worth $0.00 (your actual is 0.001, so more than Null, but less than 0.01. your full VP value is still 0.003... so @dustsweeper will still skip your (sole) upvotes. im going to self upvote my top post here, and see if that gets it above 0.00 but below 0.02 so @dustsweeper will upvote it

Yep. Spot on. I just threw upvotes on some of your comments, so you should start seeing some benefit over the next few days

thanks! ill follow up here after they hit payout and let you know what happened.

upon reviewing, i dont think my current vote value is even enough. according to http://steemit.serviceuptime.net my vote value is only 0.006.

My original post would still only be valued at 0.007...

confirmed... payout shows 0.01, but breakdown shows .00 for steem, SBD and SP... lets see where this post lands

Thanks friend
I really appreciate this.
