After the blockchain issue this week, and the needed upgrade to version 0.19.5, many of the public RPC nodes had to replay, putting a higher burden and overloading the existing active nodes. This caused several Hive account@dustsweeper crashes and Dusty struggled to keep up with normal operations.
We even hit 100% VP yesterday!
To avoid wasting our VP we gave out random votes to active Dustsweeper accounts. These are free votes not deducted from your balance.
Hopefully we will be back to normal again in the next day or two.
Gifts and Donations
We have received some very generous donations, but busy times have prevented us from properly acknowledge them.
As you might know, we need SP to be able to operate. The majority of the SP we are renting, using the MinnowBooster market. The other part comes from donations from fellow Steemians. And recently we received an awesome 3K SP delegation from Hive account@gamer00, aka. Jaro. A big Thanks and Kiitos to you!!
Hive account@johndoer123, a very generous and caring minnow, sent a gift of 2.5 SBD to be distributed to other Dustsweeper users. Please read more about that below.
This is a "Suggest-a-Contest" Contest. Your task is to suggest a contest that we can run linked to Hive account@dustsweeper.
What kind of contest would you like to see?
Give us a short summary and describe how the contest would work.
Please use your imagination and come up with a great contest idea. We will use the donation from Hive account@johndoer123 and hand out $1 of Hive account@dustsweeper upvotes to the 5 best suggestions.
Write your suggestion as a comment to this post.
The donation from Hive account@jackmiller will then be used in prizes when we organize a contest from one of the winning suggestions.
Things have not progressed as fast as we had hoped and we are still preparing to get the changes below released. Please stay tuned and we should have news in the next few weeks.

Dustsweeper is an initiative supported by Witness Hive account@danielsaori. Daniel is also one of the co-founders, together with Hive account@davemccoy. Their shared vision is to help newcomers grow and prosper in the STEEM universe.
Seeing a 2 cents profit turn into dust doesn't sound like much, but for someone new, it can make all the difference. Hive account@dustsweeper is trying to prevent that potential disapointment by helping protect those tiny profits.
