Yes after looking at your account, that is definitely the case. At the moment though, because you won in the contest, you have a credit in your account balance of 0.500 sbd worth of dustsweeper upvotes. That should last you a reasonable amount of time. As you save some of your own sbd through authorship of your own articles, you will be able to refill your dustsweeper account as you go along. So you are all good for now. As your account balances reduces, you will receive notifications from dustsweeper to let you know when, you're account requires a refill.

'because you won in the contest'
Might be fun to see how that functioned :)

Here you go....now you will find out with my vote that doesn't pass the dust threshold. It will be upvoted on the 6th day by dustsweeper to make up the difference between whether you would have been payed out or not:)

I'm not about being paid; that was an attempt at humor.

That's why I upvoted your comment, so now you can see it in action:)

Here is a nifty little tool where you can witness all your account transaction in real time.

Thanks, that makes the payments easier to see.

Also, dustweeper made a payment on one of my unnoticed posts, so it's working!

All good😃

This post is not intrinsically related to the above post, but in the same philosophicall genre.

You and I had never met yet soon seemed to have a recognizable affinity..
Immediately and consistently you went out your way to show me the ropes, and encourage me.
I likely don't need to tell you that I appreciate that.

I'd like to reciprocate in some way but me being a noob, I have no idea how to respond in kind. Here's again when I the benefit of your experience.

It's all good! I was in your exact position at one stage, so I completely understand what it's like to feel out of place while trying to work out how everything works. Until of course, I specifically met a couple of amazing people, who showed me the way on here. None of that would happen if we didn't have some common ground or shared interests to begin with. Keep on with writing about whatever interests you. I may not comment on all your articles, but I am paying attention in the background. I am also giving you some cues with my voting patterns 😉.

One thing you can do, is don't ever hesitate to pass by my blog to comment and start a discussion with me or other users. Who knows, you may even meet some others, and spark some interest in your own work. I don't have a huge following, but some of the 'right' following:)
