Today I would like to discus dust, which is a term for rewards which fall below the payment thresh hold and result in lost rewards.
If you have never heard of DUST you will like both learning about the problem and learning abut the solution.
There is a minimum amount of either author or curation reward that a post or comment must earn for you to get paid. I didn’t know this when I started and wondered why my smallest rewards didn’t show up in my wallet after seven days. If your rewards earned are less then 0.020 you don’t get paid. Those rewards are called “dust”. That’s frustrating because that reward of 0.019 might be your first author reward, but it doesn’t get paid to you. Sadly all you need is 0.001 more to get paid.
Fortunately there is a solution called “dustsweeper”.

You get rid of dust rewards with a program called “dust sweeper”. “Dust sweeper” is a bot; A bot is an automatic computer program which performs a function or carries out a transaction. If you pay the “Dustsweeper” fee, the “dust sweeper” ”bot” checks each of your post author rewards, your curation rewards and your comment rewards on day # 6 and if any are less than 0.02 and it upvotes them enough to get paid. This eliminates the “dust rewards”. So now you get paid a little for each post you write or comment you make. And l think these small payments mean a lot when your new and if you are one of those people who makes 100-500 comments a day, this becomes astondingly important.

You send Hive to Dustsweeper via a wallet transfer and put your name or the person you wish to gift Dustsweeper to in the Memo. The bot uses your money to upvote your posts at the dust reward level until it’s almost gone, then it messages you in your wallet to pay some more.
You might be thinking your just getting your own money back, but that’s not the whole story. The upvote is added on top of the existing upvote rewards which are less than 0.02. So yif your rewards are 0.019 you sepnd 0.001 to get 0.02 rewards, a 2000% return on investment. Remember you get your money plus the upvotes. Which is a net gain every time.
I have decided to give about 100 people the gift of Dustsweeper, and to get one you hsve to figure out how to publish on InLeo and the Bloom Community. This will cover close to 100 posts. Then after that if you think it’s worth it, you send one Hive every so often to sustain it.
