0.000 HBDHow to keep every bit of your vote rewards?
 I learned that there is such a thing known as *dust threshold* in Hive. Recently, I learned that there is basically a $0.02 payout threshold. If the payout from a post or comment does not exceed $0.02 (in USD), the curation reward for that post or comment will not be paid out. All these thanks to [comments](https://leofinance.io/comment/@svanbo/re-kenny-crane-20221126t193534279z) on my earlier posts as shown below.  As I look back at some of my older comments, I realised that I did not eventually get any payout even though I have some upvotes then. 😭 I basically wasted those rewards. Then the next question is *How to keep every bit of your vote rewards?* I guess I could manually make sure those I upvoted clearly exceed the threshold. But hey, there is the **dustsweeper** bot on Hive which will automatically monitor those posts that are upvoted by you, and upvote them if they need some push over the threshold! There is a fee of sorts to be paid, though. Basically, you need to send a small amount of Hive to their account - dustsweeper. Whenever there is a need to top up the dust votes beyond the threshold they will deduct the amount of Hive you sent over. According to them, we never really lose anything as we earn it back through the curation rewards. Otherwise, our reward payout lesser than $0.02 will be lost anyway. I do not guarantee that my interpretation is 100% correct. Therefore I leave the link to the dustsweeper tool here: [https://peakd.com/dustsweeper/@dustsweeper/dustsweeper-s-faq](https://peakd.com/dustsweeper/@dustsweeper/dustsweeper-s-faq) Let me get back to crying over my spilled dust votes for a while more, and I will fix this up. 😭  P/S: This is not financial advice, and please do your own due diligence before investing. **If you read this far... and if you are a like-minded Hiver who is on the path to learning more about Hive and crypto investing, and if you like to be tagged when I write such posts, I welcome you to leave a comment below and let me know.
