RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues ๐ - STEEM prizes & steem-bounty available! ๐
First off congratulations to everyone, special congrats to @paparodin, with as many comments and depth of comments some of you may have run across him. 31 days on steemit, and making a big splash in engaging people. what a way to start guy. 2nd big congrats to @davemccoy, if you all just cruise by the League 1 Curation, take a look at who is in 3rd place there? Why I think it is Mr. Dave McCoy. I actually made it back onto the league 1 list also, barely but it means I am learning. I love looking at this page. Number 97 in league 1, and number 6 in league 2.
All made possible by my account protector:

Great work as always @bashadow, and thanks for your support of the Leagues :D
Thank you for providing the easy to follow tracking. I stayed pretty level with last week, a slight improvement here, a slight decrease there.
That's a pretty groovy little thing you have there @bashadow! Especially the fact that it's the first time I have even seen colored text on Steemit... which I thought was impossible to render. Nice promotion of Dusty... one of my favorite Steemit tools!
=^..^=
I can not remember who had found it, someone left a comment to my wife, or she saw a comment on someones site, so I had to find it for her. As far as I know it is the only other color, and not super usable because you need to use the
<div></div>to use it so midstream changing colors can be a bit tricky.I missed that altogether, about @davemccoy hitting third place there! Nice job Dave; now I know where you've been spending your time!! Congratulations to you too @bashadow! Nice job!
I am always thrilled to see my name in league 1, it means I am learning, not sure how, but still it is always fun, not as fun as league 2 but fun nonetheless.
haha "not sure how", that's exactly how I feel :)
Congratulations๐๐๐, how to set up that account protectors?
Hi @cicisaja, pretty simple actually just go over to @dustsweeper, they do a good job at explaining their program, in a quick nutshell: you send $1.000 SBD to @dustsweeper, and that creates a bank for you, they add ! SBD to your account, so now you have 2 SBD worth of lifting dust level votes to a payout level. A dust vote is anything less than $0.020. So that vote someone took the time to cast on your content or your comment will now be paid out, and the vote caster will get a curation reward also. Before @dustsweeper your payout level on both post and comments needed to excede $0.020 for you to be rewarded. So it is like a vote saving bank. With the price of steem being down, you really need an account with @dustsweeper.
Already have one a month ago and do the top up too, but I can't see something like this comment is protecting by @dustsweeper things, beside.. nobody update the @dustsweeper FAQ even though @danielsaori has made an announcement about giveaway dusty 2 weeks ago.
Didn't read something like your explanation here anywhere on dusty posts? Or am I missing something or being not engaged? I still see dusty votes my comments sometimes.
So sorry, I misunderstood your question. Yes @themanwithnoname is correct, it is just a line of code I use in some of my comments to to generate questions about @dustsweeper, and to let those that know about dustsweeper know that if they are tight on vote poser and want to give my comment a vote they can do so at a lessor value than they normally would. I apologize for the confusion. Here is the code line that I use.
<div class="phishy"><sub>This comment protected by @dustsweeper</sub></div>Hahaha..@bashadow๐ you're incredibly creative! I've never thought about the code too. But, it's true that dusty FAQ is not revised yet. Maybe I need to ask our Mr. Dave McCoy @davemccoy about it. Because Dusty is available as a giveaway now.
Thank you so much for the code, I think I need to use that for some reasons too๐, but I can't use that while commenting on Pay It Forward announcement post๐ what do you think?
I don't see why you would not be able to use it there. I see it as not only advertising dustsweeper, but as getting the out about dustsweeper. I don't use it on all my post and comments, but I try to remember and use it in places where people may not have seen @dustsweeper.
Everything dustsweeper does is behind the scene's, so I feel that a small advertisement every now and then is worth it. They are not flooding steemit with advertising bots or anything, or auto look at what we did for you comments, so I like to sometimes give a dust gift, and advertise/promote them on occasion.
So it's for the sake of Dusty and newbies too๐, aahh.. that's cool. If everyone on the pif has dusty account, that will be nice because she will sweep all my dust vote on them. Wheew... the true pay it forward act!
I got your point๐ and I will be glad to use it and another frequent paste to add to my dictionary๐
That's exactly where I'm going to use it as well @cicisaja. I did get them to donate to our contest and @bashadow was kind enough to do the same, so it's no problem using it.
OIC... that's going to be another "arsenal" to engaged with.. when people also wonder about the code like I did in @bashadow's post... hahaha. You've just gave me another idea now @lynncoyle1... thank you๐ and I think I love you๐๐
awww you're so sweet!! :)
Such an incredibly awesome idea @bashadow!!! Do you mind if I use it as well?
i wish more people would use it. With the price of steem I am only able a $0.010 on a 30% vote, and I still like to vote before commenting, so in a big quandary, raise my vote or comment less. So pretty much just decided to push on standard wise and upr vote power from the 20% I used to use to 30%, @0% used to be a solid $0.020 vote, Such is life though. Up a bit, comment a little less, maybe try to stretch the comments out?LoL.
@bashadow I've found that I comment as much, but just without the upvoting, which doesn't make it nearly as fun ๐
I'm just guessing, but I'm assuming that's a line of code that @bashadow added so people would know that he's using dustsweeper. If you're getting upvotes from dustsweeper, then it's working. It doesn't add the line to your comments (unless they added a steemconnect option to allow posting through it).
As long as you're getting votes, you should be good. :)
Thank you @themanwithnoname (which is also the name ๐) yes, that's exactly what I mean. That's so nice of you to clear the "discord" too. I only need a 0.001 vote value to get dusty rushing in, so the generous steemians who want to vote 0.003 will set their vote lesser.
2 cents is the official dust threashold so .019 doesn't pay out and with current falling prices you shouldn't count on any .02 display votes paying out either as the price is fixed for display, but for payout it's dynamic and changes based on the price feed. 0.03 display is safe typically, but don't trust anything below this to payout IMO.
The display amount is also messed up as it rounds up, so .016 rounds up to display 0.02 making people think they have a non dust vote. Another reason to target 3 cents.
I missed that I put $0.010 up there, fixed it. Thanks, some time my eyes and fingers don't agree on what is supposed to be done.
Know how that is for sure. Even after reading a post 3 or 4 times I end up finding things to edit after hitting post. A couple ago I completely forgot the photo...how does one even do that?
I love your dustsweeper tagline.
Thank you. I was trying to find a way to let people know with out the big advertisement and also let those that do know in the falling steem price, a full vote is not needed. People need to try and maximize their votes to make any headway on steemit if they do not have money to invest.
I also like the fact it tells me that my vote won't be wasted no matter how small it is at the time.
Do you mind if I "borrow" your idea for myself?
Not at all. here is the code I use:
<div class="phishy"><sub>This comment protected by @dustsweeper</sub></div>Awesome, thanks
I'll congratulate everyone in a separate comment but firstly, Huge Congratzzz to you, @bashadow. You are at #6!!!
And Thanks for the shoutout re @paparodin. I haven't seen him in my Steemit travels yet but will certainly check him out.
Doing so well at engagement at just 31 days old???!!!! That's amazing. Huge Congratzzz to him too.
As for Dave? @davemccoy will always remain 'The Man' to me. So if he didn't do well.... except for emergencies of course... I'd have to fling a dutch pot from way over here in Jamaica. NOT good when a Jamaican woman flings dutch pots. ;)

Looking forward to being checked out by you.
I took the freedom and did the same with you myself. I see that you are interested in the topic of SBI. So am I since a friend told me about it. I intend to get a couple shares over the course of time myself and I also plan to do some more contests in the future. If you are interested in that sort of thing and a whole lot of other things, you are invited to visit my blog at any time you want.
Hey @paparodin,
Great to meet you here and via @bashadow's intro above. Sorry it took so long to land.... actually went right over but voting power was low.
Made up by hitting two posts instead of one just now, upvoted and commented on both of course, but also resteemed your @DustSweeper post. Thanks for writing that. Intended to do one up but haven't.
Also, in case you see this first... as I said in one of the comments on your posts... all the best with the procedure tomorrow. Be safe and be back with us soonest.

Yeah, I have seen your engagement just now. Thanks a lot for coming by!
And don't worry about me, I am invincible and will live forever after all.
31 days on steemit and a huge engager? That's a really impressive feat. Most people would whine about not getting the votes. Good job he's doing. @paparodin. Been inconsistent last week myself. Lol.
Bad steemian, bad bad bad steemian.
I am pretty down to earth and know that if you want things to happen the way you want them to, you gotta put in the necessary work.
Thanks for pointing out the bit about Dave. I'll admit that I don't even place in the first league, so I normally just give it a cursory glance, if at all. Then I skip down to the engagement league. :) It's nice to see @davemccoy doing so well in both places. He's doing something right!
You did well this week too, so congrats!
I started doing a quick scroll of it about a month ago when I first saw my name make the list, just like this time at place 97.
Smart. I have scrolled through, but I don't even remember making the list once. I tend to vote early, so I don't get much in the way of curation. It's all good though. I just focus on what I'm good at. :)
Its easy to see the top 4 or 5 and the bottom 4 or 5, all of them in the middle, not so easy to pick out.
Yeah, that's an issue too, but the main thing is that I just don't do good enough to get on the list. I think I got around .10 SP per thousand. That's not even close to getting on the list.
I am surprised every time I see myself on there, this I think is only the second time I made it. Dustsweeper made it possible, I think. All those dinky throw away votes I would get suddenly started counting.
Interesting theory. I haven't thought too much about the implications of dustsweeper on my curation. Hmmm.
