I don't have an answer to your specific question, but I recommend everyone start a @dustsweeper account - I have found mine to be very helpful!

I have one, so I would be ok. I was just curious as some people still don't use dustsweeper. I think they were talking about removing the dust threshold in the next update. Not sure if that's actually going to happen though.
That would be nice!
I read their post that came out today and it looks like they might be doing something where the VP doesn't get subtracted or something. I didn't really understand. Regardless, the dust threshold seems to be staying. Sorry.
Basically there are two different dust threshold. One is a minimum payout that an account had to exceed or it would receive 0 instead. The second was a smaller threshold that formerly stopped accounts from upvoting at all because it was too small.
The first case is where @dustsweeper comes in and resolves things, and that's not changing. The second is being converted from a minimum below which you get errors to a 'vote tax'. Instead of receiving an error and not being able to vote, your vote is just 'taxed' by that amount instead. ALL votes will be taxed by the vote tax.
Think of it as a super-regressive tax on the SP-poor. They can upvote as much as they want, but instead of figuratively having no value, it will actually have no value.
