It is the simplest thing in the world. You send them 1SBD via a wallet transfer, (or .5SPB, thats what I started with because I don't accumulate SBD's to much), I put in the memo part "Dust Bank". They will send you back a wallet message deposit received and they tell you what your account balance is.
1SBD will raise approximately 72 votes that were at the dust level, or very close (about $0.020 or less) to just over $0.025 level so that you will get paid for that vote, and the voter will get a curation reward, and @dustsweeper also gets a reward. At 17:14 today I got three votes in a row of 2.83% which equalled $0.030, and raised the one vote I highlighted to a payout of $0.050:
So a very fair deal I think. Three votes received that without dustsweeper I would not have gotten. so using that example 1 SBD 72 votes times 0.050 equals $3.60.
If it helps users find the prizes in my game, sure. Sending it now.
anything that would've turned to dust, will now be claimed as it "sticks" to the dustbuster vote and gets paid along with it.
It helps a lot of people, I most view and visit new user accounts, and that is where most of my commenting happens, and well a lot of them like to vote the comments, and when the ir vote does not register a value, they do not get any curation reward, their vote just disappears come payout time, and then no payout. So it is very helpful for them, and for any one that gets a comment vote from them that has the backing of dustsweeper, gets rewarded also.
Getting new users onto steemit is something I am passionate about. I will certainly try it out and see if it is something I would suggest.
Hello @bashadow Bro
Do you mean If I Send 1 Sbd to @dustsweeper It will give me $3.60 Upvote in return.
And How much it take time for Upvotes after sending my SBD?
Not really. On steemit there is a price level where a vote does not count for a reward if it is the only vote you got on a particular post or comment.
If you have a post and three very low SP people vote on your post, yet the post payout does not make it past the $0.020 price range, then those three votes go away, and you get no reward, and the three people that voted for you get no reward for curation.
Now if as a participant in @dustsweeper, on day five or day six, it will detect that your post payout is at the dust level (won't receive a payout) @dustsweeper will come and provide a vote to raise it over the dust level so you get a reward, and the three people that voted on your post get a curation reward. @dustsweeper is not an upvote bot, it is a dust level vote rescuer.
The absolute largest vote you will ever get from @dustsweeper would be something like $0.025. All @dustsweeper does is, like I said, rescues low level vote that would have been burned by steemit.
@dustsweeper will not vote on your post that have no votes. It will not vote on any post or comment that has a payout over $0.025. It will vote on any post or comment of yours that has a vote that is below that reward level.
As for how soon after sending in 1 SBD to help lift those dust votes, it happens pretty fast.
I hope that cleared up the difference between an upvote bot, and @dustsweeper. You are not buying anything. If all your post and comments that get voted on always exceed that price level then you will see no results from it, that is highly unlikely to happen.
Also they do have measures in place to prevent people from gaming the system, example a second owners account giving lots of little votes just so their other account can get the dustsweeper vote.
It was designed to assist new users receive rewards from the votes of other new users, instead of those votes and rewards being burned up by steemit.
excellent job @bashadow :) Thank you for your wonderful efforts once again!
@bashadow explains it well below... we give out a $2.00 upvote for each $1 sbd in deposit or 2x... you don't make money off our bot... It is a service to help you pick up your own dust... so we use your sbd, turn it into a payable vote, and then your dust sticks to it.
It happens on the 5th or 6th day after the vote or comment was made.
