The dust vote threshold will change in hf20, but the dust payout, minimum payout, will not change.
So hf20 will only make it marginally more expensive to operate Dustsweeper, I think something like 0.5% more expensive with the current amount of SP.
@dustsweeper's purpose is not letting upvotes turn into dust. This is not possible in HF20. Any upvotes above the dust threshold will grant rewards, while every upvote below this threshold will hold no value! This is regardless of who has already / is still going to upvote that comment / post.
Total post/comment value isn't what counts anymore, but the upvote value in itself.
It is, and it will be interesting to see what changes take place when it does.
Well it has already been announced, but it definetely renders @dustsweeper useless as a service.

The dust vote threshold, the one for individual votes, will change. It will be like everyone is voting with around 1.2SP less.
But there is also a minimum payout value, and as far as I know, that will not change. It will stay at $0.02.
I hope you don’t know something I don’t, otherwise I would have to kill Dusty... 😉
My understanding is this minimum payout value has been replaced with the 1.2SP rule. Please check it out.
It is two different things, dust votes and dust/minimum payouts. Please see my earlier reply to Ropaga as well.
I will check it out, thank you for your reply.
