To capture the answers to some of the most common questions, we here present to you a 
The word comment is used throughout the text, referring to both posts and comments.
A post or comment is considered to be dust if it has a value of less than $0.02.
Anything less than $0.02 will not be paid out.
So even if your comment is worth $0.019, at payout you will receive nothing. Zero, zilch, zip, nada, nothing!!
@dustsweeper
If in rare cases the value would still fall below the threshold, the users will be refunded by adding $0.028 to the balance.
Send a small amount STEEM or SBD to
Please send it via Steemit and not via an exchange, otherwise the bot can not track the sender.
You need roughly 0.014 SBD for 1 vote. So send any amount larger than that.
The amount you transfer will be multiplied by 2 and added to your balance.
If you transfer 0.014 SBD you will get $0.028 in upvote value. $0.028 is the average amount used per vote.
Note: $0.001 will be subtracted from the balance per transaction to cover the cost of the reply. Thank you 
Taking the 50/50 reward model, curation rewards, and the current STEEM/SBD prices into account, the return from the vote itself is currently returning nothing. That is the whole idea and your gain is purely from the saved dust.
So in other words, the service doesn't cost you anything. You can see it as making a deposit where the money will be returned when the dust is saved by the bot.
The aim is to have a $0.028 upvote value. But due to a rounding mechanism in the blockchain reward model, the exact value will vary. The bot is set to never vote with a value lower than $0.026 and the max value should be around $0.036.
The exact upvote value will be used when reducing your balance.
@dustsweeper vote?At the moment
@dustsweeper not upvote my post?
Missed vote doesn't mean
Comments with a value larger than $0 and smaller than $0.025.
Comments with only self-votes are excluded.
No, even your old comments will qualify for

@dustsweeper As A Gift?At this moment you can't, but within a week or two we will release an update where this will be possible.
At the moment
You will also get a balance update whenever you transfer an amount larger than $0.001.
In the next update, we will open a Discord server with a Dustsweeper bot. That will allow for balances and stats to be checked on-demand.
@dustsweeper be used when I upvote other people?This is not possible at this time but will be possible in a future update. The idea is to make this an opt-in service for those interested.
The idea is this: When you upvote someone with $0.01,
