Dust What are Dust rewards? Why are they lost and How do I get paid my dust rewards?
The first thing you have to do when you first start as an individual or a community is stop losing dust rewards. When you write a post you get author rewards and when you comment on a post you get curation rewards. When either of those rewards are less then 0.02 dollars, you don’t get paid. Steemit rules call all rewards for a post or comment which total less then 0.02 “dust rewards”. It seems like small a amounts of money, but for a newbie it seems all their rewards for their articles the first month may be this small. So many new members write good posts, earn some rewards, but get paid nothing. 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. The “dust sweeper” ”bot” reads all the posts on Steemit looking for rewards for posts or comments of “dust sweeper “ members, which are on day number six and are less then 0.02 and it upvotes them enough to get paid. This eliminates the dust, so you or your community members now gets paid.
How does it work, you pay in a certain amount, 1 SBD and 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.

To join Dust Sweeper you simply transfer SBD (or STEEM ) to @dustsweeper .
Dusty will drop a $0.02 upvote on any post in your account that has STEEM DUST. The total number of upvotes is based on the money that you send to your account. Essentially, if you given him $0.10 SBD, he will give you 5 upvotes on posts below the dust threshold.
In my first year of SteemIt, I lost rewards on about 150 posts. Since I started using dusty, he has upvoted 191 posts (mostly comments) and saved me $1.16 in STEEM DUST.
There is another service called @dustbunny . To join this program, you need to contact the author through his discord server.
BTW, the best way to avoid STEEM DUST is simply to avoid upvoting comments ... unless, of course, the value of your upvote is over $0.02.
Thank you, those are good points.
Very clear and informative. I think Steemit Inc should get rid of the dust thing so small newbies can get paid their little steem :)
Thank you, and that’s a good suggestion for the Steemitblog!
This will be of help to many newbies. Wish I knew about this when I was starting.
Thank you
