I see @fraenk already provided the correct answer. As a Dust sweeper I would be toast if I got that wrong. 😉

Not sure why you got greyed...but you're BACK!!😁😁

That's exactly how I felt for a few weeks. I was grey, but now I'm back. 😁

ummmm... nope... that dust threshold gets applied before curation rewards get split away.

You are right, I actually dug into the code and confirmed it.
I am not sure why so many people have said this in the past (who I assumed where right as they were big names) and I was dumb to just keep repeating it.

It is clear dust is cleared before assigning curation and beneficiaries.

well, I'm not gonna say I told you so, but in fact, I did tell you so :P jk
