Dustbuster! - Send Me Your Posts Or Comments (At $0.01 or $0.02) And I Will Upvote To $0.03

in #steemit7 years ago

I was thinking about how I could creatively use my extra Voting Power delegated from @krnel and decided to call attention to a topic that not many people realize. Dust!

Dust!

Dust is what happens to any post or comment that doesn't meet the minimum of $0.019 upvote. It vanishes... poof!!! No payout, no curation, nothing. Simply gone!

To Be Safe, A $0.03 upvote is needed

I won't get into the technical aspects, I am just bringing this issue to your attention. So to make the point and increase awareness I will upvote any post or comment that you drop a link on in this post if it is at $0.01 or $0.02 (the only caveat is that you are a 60 or lower Reputation).

So if you are a 59 and lower Reputation, and if you have 6 day old or less posts or comments with $0.01 and $0.02, then tell me about it and I will bust that dust and make it payable!

How To Send A Link To Your Comments

Sending a link to your comments is easy. First go to your comments section (see pic below)

Then find your comments that have $0.01 or $0.02 and then right click on the time (see pic below)

dust.JPG

Then come back to this post and paste the link in and I will go upvote it and make it at least $0.03

That's It, No Upvoting, Following, Resteeming, Or Even Talking Required!

I want to help people get paid on something that has already received votes, but might fall into the "dust category". So, I am happy to use my Voting Power for today and tomorrow to make sure you get paid! There are no limits, it will be first come/first serve until I have no more Voting Power (or until Monday arrives).

I love projects like these and hope we can do more as time goes. Right now our membership club just helps our members, but one day maybe we can do so much more like initiatives like this!

Nice initiative @davemccoy! Those small amounts mean a lot to those who are just getting started, as do a decent upvote on a quality comment... especially when you're stuck at getting 30 cents for your original posts!

Thank you very much, its nice to see you supporting this effort! I agree with you, I counted every penny when I first started and knowing that I got paid was very motivational! Thanks again for the support! :)

@tipu upvote this post

Thank you so much @nikema! That is an awesome thing to do! :) I'm stunned that you would do that size of an upvote! :)

You're very welcome. I support your dust cleaning initiative :)

Such a creative idea to help! We need a ‘dust bot’ that upvotes to 3 cents if a post hasn’t been downvoted after let’s say 6 days! I’d follow that trail :D Keep up the good work!

I agree that is a fantastic idea @soyrosa! I will try to think that one through, but yes it would be very helpful! :) Thanks for the comment and the idea!

Great idea

Loading...

Love your work @davemccoy I don't have a tone of sp here, but I'll join in and give some upvotes as well to help clean up the dust.

You did good @beggars! Thanks for the help, it was refreshing to see :)

Another great initiative, @davemccoy.
I admire the fact that you never seem to run out of ideas to help people :0)

Thank you @simplymike! :D ... I appreciate that very much :)

Swung you an upvote on your linked comment, hopefully it helps you out.

you did it right as far as giving me a link, but the comment had a $0.05 already (so no dust)... I upvoted anyways because of your effort ;) Now go through your comments and find me some of your $0.01 and $0.02 and I will make sure you get paid! ;)

when I dropped the post in the commentary above, two kind votes came in! lol the comment was only 0.01 $

there you go, another one! Keep them coming, lets get rid of that dust! ;)

I love to comment on publications, I have 200 of them without votes hahahaha would spend all night here, thank you very much for helping me with the dust

well here you go for being so nice @melvadg! Have a great evening!

Swung you an upvote as well. Remove all the dust.

awesome! Glad to see @beggars :)

Very cool! 😎 Thanks @beggars !!!

If you need any help let me know in chat . I can do a little :) to ease some of the burden

awesome @wolfhart, I will definitely do that... thank you for the offer :D

Whoop! Whoop! I see ya :)

You are so awesome @davemccoy!!! What a great idea :)

Thank you @lynncoyle1, I'm glad you like it :)

ps... your two posts on my page have been getting fatter by the day ;)

a bit like me :)

just kidding...I just thought that was funny haha

I was just explaining to Brian the whole "dust" concept and together we were sharing out admiration of you and your selflessness here! I'm not sure if I told you, but we moved apartments yesterday and today I am wiped. I was going to skip steemit, but got thinking of my delegation from @krnel and what everyone has done for Brian and I, and decided to get off my butt and get to work. I'm judging @thedarkhorse's Pay It Forward Curation Contest for the third week in a row and will go spend my extra delegation over there :)

It feels great to give, doesn't it? I've read through the comments on your post here and can't help but smile thinking of all the people you are making happy today! :)

I am glad you had a break yesterday and frankly if I was moving, you wouldn't see me for a week... That has to be one of the worst things to do... For me at least because I hate to make any mistakes or break anything. Anyone who has ever moved with me has said, lets hire movers next time. lol

Glad to see you're helping out @thedarkhorse... that's an awesome project and glad he has a star on his team!

I hope you have a wonderful rest of you weekend and don't work too hard as this is Asher's week off :P

@davemccoy if you still have spare power later consider stopping by and giving a little boost to the featured bloggers from the entries. Every little bit helps motivate the newer members of steemit.

ok @thedarkhorse, tell me where to go and I will come give you some boost!

https://steemit.com/payitforward/@thedarkhorse/pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-4-win-sbi-and-steem-bounty

Take a look at the bottom of the post and I have listed all the entries to the contest. Lots of entries this week!

I will be happy to, I will see where I sit tomorrow around noon and if I still have plenty, then I will come help you for sure!

I started with answering all of the comments to me and that's what I'm still doing :) First thing tomorrow, thedarkhorse gets my attention. And now I just noticed my delegation is gone, so tomorrow it is because my VP is already suffering. What's new? :)

I'm still holding 50, but we will see how the night goes :P

@davemccoy I loved your idea and made a post in portuguese language I will do the same as you voting the posts and comments sended to my post completing for 0.03
I mentioned your post and the credit of your idea.

Awesome @pataty69! If you need any help let me know... If I have any spare VP I will be happy to use it on helping you out! I love that you did this, its a great way to spread the message :) Thanks!

Valiant effort my man. Just upvoted the post, hopefully it helps remove the dust.

You're doing great @beggars, thanks for jumping in ;)

I got it for you, thanks for helping someone else out ;)

I gotcha @norwegianbikeman! If you got anymore, remember first come first serve.. scroll through those comments ;)

you have no comments that are dust on that page... But on this page you have dust so I will get you here... scroll through your comments and find the dust and come back with more... First come first serve ;)

new follower here and upvote
good to meet you

Its good to meet you too @rebeccabe! Thanks for the upvote and if you have any comments that are at 0.01 or 0.02, let me know and I will get them out of the dust range ;)

A generous offer, @davemccoy! And I really like that others are trailing and helping out-- THAT is "community spirit!"

These are "comments on the edge," meaning they are generally $0.02 only thanks to rounding up (via steemblockexplorer):

Thanks!

=^..^=

Got em! And don't be shy, if they are at 0.01 or 0.02, I'll make sure that dust turns back to money! ;)

Thank you @wholeself-in! Its done! Thanks for helping someone else, that is very cool :)

done... always happy to help out my good friend @glenalbrethsen

Well, thank you. I'm probably not one that needs the help on dust as much as others, but I appreciate both you and @wholeself-in considering my comment to be dust buster worthy. :)

Well you didn't need the help, but you are always appreciated for what you do! Thanks for the upvotes to me too :) Have a great week! :)

Thanks @davemccoy. I wrote a post about this too and have been replying to commenters who have left small upvotes on my comments, alerting them to the fact.

It's a bit tricky because I don't want them to think I'm asking for more but, so far, people seem to be taking the message in the way it's meant. 😁

A couple of people have told me they use their vote as a sort of marker for replies they've read. Only one person didn't mind and would continue voting as usual.

I told everyone the threshold was 0.02 but then amended my post to 0.03 after reading @thedarkhorse's post.

It's great that you can get the word out as you have a much bigger reach than I do. 😍

I agree that it is best for everyone to understand this. I always suspected it, but never knew until a week or so ago... Now I think we should all be aware, and as long as people know the facts they can adjust their habits to what works best for them. Always good to see you Gillian and thank for backing me up on the issue! Have a wonderful week ahead! :)

Thank you @davemccoy. Wishing you a wonder full week too! 😁

I think only @davemccoy can get such creative ideas!! Here is my 100% vote to support your creativity and a little support to the posts you are gonna vote to burst that dust :).

Great going Dave.

Have a wonderful day :)

Thank you @coolguy123! That's awesome to hear that you like it. Thank you very much for the support and thanks for the encouragement! :)

Awesome service !

Thanks for providing it and spreading the information about the 0.02 threshold.

I couldn't get that one as it was too close to payout, but I did go through you comments and get rid of all your dust in there ;) .. You should be good to go now :D

Wow, that was really kind and awesome of you! Thank you again! :)

Thank you very much again for doing this! This is a post of mine that is a bit dusty. No worries if you don't get to it, you have helped me more than enough already!

you don't quite understand what dust is @obest... It is when you get an upvote that says $0.01 or $0.02 and you might not get paid on it. I am upvoting those so you can get paid. I did upvote 2 of your $0.00 votes just to be nice, but they normally wouldn't qualify. Also 2 of your comments were at $0.10 and $0.07 so they will easily get paid.

So long story short, none of these 4 would qualify as dust, but I upvoted 2 of them so that you were rewarded for trying!

Done, my pleasure :)

What a nice iniative. To be honest I only read this happens 2 days ago. I still wonder what hPpens with the payouts that do not hPpen. All together it must be a high amount. Untill now I haven't been that busy with checking out my payments. I do not know really how to understand the financial part of Steemit. So I will have a look at it know (first step)

Hey @wakeupkitty.. first thank you for the nice words... And the payouts that are below 1.9 cents turn into dust (they don't get paid anything)... So the only way to be sure is to have a .03 vote on your post so that you know you get paid. Does that make sense?

And if you want me to help you with any other financial topic here, I will be glad to do the best I can to explain it to you! Just ask, I'm here to help :)

I am very gratefull if you can tell me how I know what the value of my vote is. I understand now it's useless to vote if it's worth nothing. Mostly I see it was zero. So how can I figure out about it and how/when will that change?

the way the vote values work is they round it... so if it shows 0.00 then that means it is 0.004999 or lower... once it hits 0.005 then it will show up as 0.01 because the system rounds... To find out exactly how you vote is calculated, you can go here and type in 1000 x your SP... and then divide it by 1000 to get the decimals.

https://steemnow.com/upvotecalc.html

so if you have 30 sp, then put in 30,000 and see the value (30,000 would give you $7.96) so if you divided that by 1000 you would get 0.00796 ... and that would be your vote value!

I helped you out with this one Dave. :)

thank you @danielasori! Great teamwork!!! :)

Hey @sparkesy43... its done... You also got an upvote from a witness helping you: @danielsaori... I don't know if I've talked to you yet about witness votes, but he is one you should definitely vote for! If you don't know how to vote, let me know and I will show you how to do it very easy! He also runs the big game #steemitcommentchallenge which you played in the Play 4 a Newbie Challenge!

And thanks again to you @danielsaori! @sparkesy43 is going to be good here and a good one to know!

Thankyou Gentlelmen. I have just changed one of my witness votes across to @danielsaori. As I get to know more about the witnesses I'm refining my votes.

Good... You will be happy you selected @danielsaori... and there are others out there that are awesome too... We will be having more discussions coming up in the future about what witnesses think and believe so that you can get the best information possible!!!

That sounds excellent. I have my witness vote blocks filled at the moment so they aren't actually idle, but I do change them as I learn more about the witnesses that are out there and refine who I choose to support

Keep your eyes open, its coming :)

Maximum Awesomeness!!!

I will happily step in and support with some of my VP. Don't let your VP drop below 80%, so please let me know where I can help.

that's an awesome offer @danielsaori! I will let you know and don't worry, I will let it recharge for a couple of days... It just means I have to type more messages instead of upvoting for respect :P...

Thank you :)

Hello Mr. @davemccoy .I don't usually ask for upvote, in fact this is my first time asking for one
suggested to me by @beeyou . At first i gave you an upvote, since it's the minimum i can do for asking an upvote. I worked hard on the article on the link but somehow it didn't make an impact. I even resteem it using the 're' instead of http// and spent 0.1 sbd, still no effect. Thank you in advance. From @triplef

https://steemit.com/food/@triplef/food-plates-full-menu-10-photos-sheraton-hotel

Hi @triplef. You caught me while I'm online so I'm able to reply. It can take me days to get back to a reply on typical days. :)

That's great you reached out to Dave! He is always happy to help newbies. Since I'm here, I will happily help make the post reach that 0.02 dust threshold. Plus help upvote/resteem with the @newbieresteemday account. You are welcomed to use the #newbieresteemday on your posts. We have a group of people helping with that account. If one of us see it, we'll be happy to give that 0.02 sbd upvote so you can be rewarded.

As for the resteem services, my suggestion would be to hold off on paying for resteem services. At least until you grow your account some more. I've never tried them myself.

Ouh i see, you run the @newbieresteemday too.
Well i can't find words to thank you enough @beeyou . Yesterday i surpassed my first steem and by the end of the week i will get my second steem. Oncey vote power can reach at least 0.01$ value, i can contribute to the group too. I used resteem because i saw most of them made a profit (+1$) but that wasn't the case for me. Perhaps bots will do a better job in the future in that prospect. I was suggested to join discord , of which i know nothing about. I will try that

Here is a link to join discord, that is newbie resteem and you will definitely find people you like there!

https://discord.gg/D8UpWU

And you can contact me anytime via direct message at davemccoy#2479

Thank you Mr. @davemccoy . I will try accessing with mobile. If that doesn't work, then i will choose pc.

I gotcha on that one, but don't pay ever to get a resteem... I have never seen a service deliver... On resteemable, it is just a "donation" so you can donate if you want, but they will still resteem any post you send them... So while you are a minnow, just use the service and wait til you are bigger to tip them.

I see, but they didn't resteem
the first time when i didn't donate.
That's why i threw some 0.1sbd .
How about bots, i saw the list of safe bots
and have bookmarked a few.

On the resteem, it is just a donation... So if they didn't do it, it could've been for several reasons... one they weren't there, two they didn't like the post, and probably most common, three the system hit a glitch and needed to be reset.

As far as bots, there are 2 kinds... 1) fixed bots and 2) bid bots

I suggest you use the first kind until you really understand how the prices relate to the vote values... The one that I use the most is Minnow Booster... but you can also use @bumper and @flagship...

If you want to talk about bidbots, you need to message me on discord as that is the easiest way because they are more complicated. My discord name is davemccoy#2479

I hope that helps... and feel free to contact me anytime!

I heard so much about minnow booster.
I checked the list but my choice for bots
is influenced by the price they require.
I can't use so much sbd. There are some bots
which offer also upvotes and resteem together, but they are expensive. I will create my discord and contact you there

yes get me on discord and I will work with you and come up with a plan for you

Thank you. Ask me whatever you need and i will support the team and you. I am sorry for my late response. I was at work, no phones allowed. Are you online after half an hour? I will be on discord after 30 min

Thank you @headchange... I may have to cut it off at some point, but for now I will take what comes in! Thanks for trying to help others!

Well I better hurry then so I give you plenty to vote on before you run out of Steem. JK I actually enjoy watching you bop around Steemit leaving a path good cheer. You are like the Steemit Santa or something.

haha... thank you very much... that's great! Steemit Santa is funny :)

I think two days back is enough. I try to vote those dust votes also when I find them on pages I visit. Nothing like someone trying to reward a comment and then learning it was dusted away.

yes exactly... I upvoted both of yours! I agree with you 100% on the issue! In fact I have a plan working to solve this one ;)

Thanks for the upvote lift. Not easy to earn a few pennies when they keep getting dusted up. I could be careful and only vote on accounts that have valuable vote power, but then that would completely leave the redfish in the dust forever. I have a few that give me rewards that count for real rewards, so I grow slowly, that is okay. I can not see not voting for something just because I would get nothing in return form them. Redfish are like everyone else, they want to reward people/content that they like, by my and yours and other peoples help they get to give that reward, and they also get a small curation in return.

I think you should always do what you do @bashadow... You have earned the respect of so many people I wouldn't ever want to change a thing you do! :)

Done @wakeupkitty and you're welcome! I hope you have a terrific day!

Thanks I wish you the same... will rest a bit since I will leave tonight for a drive of 1600 km in one piece (at least I hope so).

yes be careful... that is a long drive!

Well I arrived and tomorrownight I drive back. Another 21 hours or...

I'm happy you made it there, it seems like a lot of driving for such a short trip :P But glad you made it safely! And same on the way back!

It is but I can not leave my dogs long behind. At least I can load my car full of good stuff now. Time to sleep a bit now. Thanks, I will.
