which witnesses want to raise this dust level? i just learned about that too and its kinda messed up they dont tell people that. I want to know what witnesses want to raise the dust level so only rich people can reach the threshhold, that way I wont vote them for witness.

I first learned about the dust level on a @timcliff, I don't think he was one that wanted to raise it, but he did want to let people know about the dust level. A ton of comments on that post so it may take you a little bit of time to read them all. Here is the first post I learned about the "vote dust level" on - https://steemit.com/steemit/@tarazkp/ashes-to-ashes-votes-to-dust-making-votes-count - there are about 134 comments. And here is where he learned about the "vote dust level" and where I saw the proposal to raise the level, I am not sure if he is serious, or just wanted to get a conversation going about spam and what to do - https://steemit.com/steem/@timcliff/proposal-to-make-spam-less-profitable - 401 comments so your looking at a bit of reading. between those two post. The road to hell is, as the saying goes, "paved in good intentions".
thank you! i definitely will read it then probably make a post about it...
im trying like hell to figure out why i get only .001 for curating, the most ive gotten so far was .003 i think, talk about ZERO incentives for the peasants to curate at all. (and ive tried all different types of voting strategies, voting before 15 minutes, after 30, vote on posts without very many likes, vs tons of dollars and likes, ect) sheesh.
That I have yet to figure out. As far as I know the curation reward is also tied to how much SP you have, and how much vote power you use. Over the course of the last 24 hours the largest curation reward I received was $0.011, all the rest were in the 0.001 to 0.008 range, and only three above 0.003. So if you ever figure it out, let me know. I vote a lot, but I really have no strategy. if you have not seen it yet @abh12345, has two curation leagues, easy to join, and every Sunday he puts up a list of how well people are doing, one of them is a straight Curation List, who is making money on curations, https://steemit.com/engagement/@abh12345/6bzkhk-the-curation-and-engagement-leagues-sponsored-by-carlgnash-and-paulag - this is a link to his last weeks post 12 days ago, and on this sunday he will have a new lsit, I don't know very many of the people in league one, but maybe you can get some insights from one of them on how they do it.
Thanks for the publicity! I've replied to the above with an old post of mine you might find amusing :D
A few posts on the subject say curating is based on the sq root of your steem power... im going to read those links you both gave tonight.
Now im confused regarding payouts, trying to figure out why my last payout seems wrong. The post payout, 75 percent of approx 99 sbd only paid out approx 37.5 sbd and 9.5 sp? I had transferred 45 sbd into the post, and did not lose any of the bids. So how did i end up losing money?
The posts are listed in sbd, so it should have been 75 percent of 99 sbd. Im confused.

I forget who had the post about that but they explained about it by converting the SBD's into what they called STU. Something about converting SBD to dollars to STU to steem, it was hard for me to follow. But basically there is a price difference between SBD and Steem. I don't think this is the post I remember reading, but he does explain how it works, it is somewhat complicated. https://steemit.com/steemit/@youngjerv/s-t-u-steem-token-unit-steem-and-how-rewards-are-been-split-between-authors-in-sbd-steem-power-and-usd-explained
thanks, i posted the question to him, see what he says. its odd, i spent over 46 sbd, valued at 161, to get back 166. doesnt make any sense whatsoever. It seems like for 75 percent of 100, 75 STU you should get 37.5 sbd and 37.5 sbd worth of steem power, not 37.5 divided by steem power price.
It's tough! This is how I felt 10 months ago with 900 SP :)

There is an alternative approach inside too :) Good luck! (And join the leagues using the link in the reply from @bashadow :) )
