Dustsweeper Issues
After the blockchain issue this week, and the needed upgrade to version 0.19.5, many of the public RPC nodes had to replay, putting a higher burden and overloading the existing active nodes. This caused several @dustsweeper crashes and Dusty struggled to keep up with normal operations.
We even hit 100% VP yesterday!
To avoid wasting our VP we gave out random votes to active Dustsweeper accounts. These are free votes not deducted from your balance.
Hopefully we will be back to normal again in the next day or two.
Gifts and Donations
We have received some very generous donations, but busy times have prevented us from properly acknowledge them.
As you might know, we need SP to be able to operate. The majority of the SP we are renting, using the MinnowBooster market. The other part comes from donations from fellow Steemians. And recently we received an awesome 3K SP delegation from @gamer00, aka. Jaro. A big Thanks and Kiitos to you!!
@johndoer123, a very generous and caring minnow, sent a gift of 2.5 SBD to be distributed to other Dustsweeper users. Please read more about that below.
We also have a remaining 5 SBD donated by @jackmiller. Jack donated 10 SBD in total where the first 5 SBD was used in this Refer A Friend Game.

Dustsweeper is an initiative supported by Witness @danielsaori. Daniel is also one of the co-founders, together with @davemccoy. Their shared vision is to help newcomers grow and prosper in the STEEM universe.
Seeing a 2 cents profit turn into dust doesn't sound like much, but for someone new, it can make all the difference. @dustsweeper is trying to prevent that potential disapointment by helping protect those tiny profits.
Do you like Dusty? Please give a Witness Vote to @danielsaori
