Added PIF Support! Dust Sweeper & @bashadow - Misc Notes
The Pay It Forward Curation Contest is now in it's 11th week and it's great seeing the additional support we have been getting lately. The last couple weeks we have been able to award the featured bloggers of the Judges Choice winners SBI shares.
Now to add to this all of the entry winners from Week 11's contest are getting a bonus! First one to step up was @dustsweeper with an offer of 4 starter packages for the winners of the Judges Choice. Then @bashadow has transfer 1.5 SBD to cover the cost of starter packages for the random winners from this week. Talk about an amazing bonus for the winners all because a couple more people decided to Pay It Foward!
| Thank you @dustsweeper and @bashadow |

So What is Dust Sweeper?
In the quest to find ways to "give-back" to the community, @davemccoy and @danielsaori happily presents our latest project. A project supported by the STEEM Witness, @danielsaori.
Dust Votes are ones that steemit ignores when it comes time for payout. If your posts or comments have votes on them below the Dust Threshold they will not pay out. Here is an old post of mine that covers the issue.
This issue effects the smallest members of steemit at a disproportionate level as each vote they receive is a larger portion percentage wise of their earnings then when a larger member has a few comments loose their .01 in earnings. With that said this program might be one of the best things to happen for minnow and plakton that I can think of.
Why Now?
I'm not just talking about @dustsweeper because they gave a sponsorship to the contest. It would be easy to make that assumption, but before the sponsorship came in I started using the service and love it. There were some comments that would have gone unpaid if not for the votes from dust sweeper. The program is fully automated so the only thing you need to do is send some SBD to @dustsweeper and then they will start saving your dust. I love automating things that can be automated to save me time, save me money, or earn me money without effort. Any automation that can do one or more of those things is worth talking about and Dust Sweeper fits the bill!
Misc Notes
This week I was slammed with work and want appologize for not being very active with the contest entries. Each time this happens there is a drop off in entries and sure enough it was a light week. This just means increased odds of winning for those who entered! Next week life should be a little more normal and I'll be on top of things again.
@pifc account now has 3 Account Builder posts up and needs your support. Your votes will allow for the account to lease SP once we start using it to host the contests. The stronger this account becomes the more it will be able to give the minnows and plankton the account is designed to help. Please jump over to @pifc and give some votes to these posts and follow the account to keep up with new announcements.
Special Thanks!
Once again @lynncoyle1 has gone above and beyond by arranging not one, but both of these sponsorships. Her willingness to take the time to find new sponsors to help reward those who are taking the time to curate and enter the contest shows why I keep saying she is one of my faviorite steemians! Thank You Lynn!

The @dustsweeper logo was designed by @charisma777. Like it a lot and think that it's time for @pifc to get a logo...anyone else use @charima777 in the past?
Dust sweeper is such a great concept. This is one of the things I love about Steemit. Problems arise and somebody finds a creative solutions that makes sense for everyone. Great idea.
@davemccoy and @danielsaori I can't say enough for their support . Its a huge benefit for the minnows who receive their award , a gift that keeps on giving .
To @bashadow who's continual support has helped make pifc a successful endeavor . Thank you
This is awesome! Nice to see both projects working together! Keep up with the good work!
She does all of @thehive logos, I really like them, she has done a lot for the @IFC also, and she has a display room in the hive discord chat room. So real easy to see her work. it is here, a discord link. Okay that worked took me right to here display room
Didn't take me to the room. Maybe because I'm not part of that room. I'll check back in the morning.
I really do not understand how discord works, may have worked for me because I was there. Sorry.
So pleased this all worked out so well; it simply took asking the right people to help out :) What an awesome addition to the prize pool and @charisma777 I'm sure would be a great choice for the logo if she's got the time!
Thank you again to @bashadow, @davemccoy and @danielsaori for the support!! Dusty is the best bot going :)
Your continued efforts to help the contest grow amazes me. Thank you very much for helping to arrange the added sponsors. Absolutely would not have happened without you!
You are most welcome! Paying it forward is something I've based my life on and am happy to be a part of something so worthwhile here :)
well thank you @lynncoyle1 All i have is time lately lol😊 @thedarkhorse I would be honored to help with a logo. I am still a rookie so shoot me some ideas and we can see what we come up with😊

There is always some hidden positives in the posts recently...Pifc was one such thing and now the dust votes..many people are not aware of the threshold vote level and this automatic voting system from the dust bank makes even a fraction of a penny worth.
This must be a blessing for all the minnows and planktons like me and Thanks for this @thedarkhorse and all others who are working behind @pifc
