Dust and Dustsweeper
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”.
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 then 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.
How to start
Send 1 Steem to @dustsweeper
Put your Steem account name or the account name of the person you wish to give Dustsweeper to in the memo line. That’s it!
Maintenance
When your funds start to run low you will get a memo from Dustsweeper and you can send 1 Steem or amounts smaller then 1.0 Steem to keep it going!
Keep Steeming! 🚂

This is a great service. I use them because a reward worth 0.019 does get paid!
But have Dustsweeper add 0.001 and you get 0.02 for your 0.001 a 20 fold return!
Yes that’s right you pay 0.001 and get 0.02 from a reward of 0.019 which would have been lost as dust. This is a great idea for beginners. Thank you very much.
I am happy to hear you use this service and it is working out nicely for you. I still use it even though I am not a beginner because it’s small gains which add up to big successes

I started using them about a month after joining the platform last year because I was getting a lot of the $0.01 upvotes on my comments. They help uplift my upvotes so that are payable before payout day. They send you a notice when you're running low. I'll recommend them to everyone, you ain't got nothing to lose. Very nice and detailed write-up as usual. Kudos.
