He did answer your question. Read the last paragraph again.

-- Send with a very low fee, and then you can join the people complaining about it taking a long time. --

So, send all your dust to a new address with a low fee. Takes a lot longer (and hopefully confirms), but then you'll have all your dust as a single new input on a diff address.

I don't get the dust part I guess, what is considered dust? I mean I got over .28 in the wallet so send all.28 to a new wallet. But I would still get a huge fee. I mean I tried sending 80 dollars worth and that was 17 bucks to send.

Or are you saying just send a dollar's worth to myself or something? Sorry just trying to understand.

Dust....

Let's pretend this is dollar.

I have two wallets. Both have $100. They are not the same.
1st wallet has a single $100 bill
2nd wallet has 10000 pennies.

If I go to the store, which is easier to spend?

Dust wallets = 10,000 pennies. Sure, the total you have is .28 BTC, but is it made up of 2800 transactions or a single transaction of .28?

If you send .28 from a wallet with a single input of .28 BTC, then the fee is low. About .00006 BTC.
Now, if you have a shit ton of transactions which add up to .28 BTC then it takes a lot of space ans costs more to account for all the inputs.

If you're not in a hurry, then use a relatively low fee (which you select), and simply wait the possible days it would take to confirm.
Normally, I would say to wait for the weekend; however, the backlog is pretty damn big. So, the standard weekend waiting isn't a thing right now.

My suggestion is to send all .28 to yourself (a different address you own) so that you can quickly move your transactions when you want without higher fees.

If you had to pay $17 to send $80, then I think your calculations are wrong or you simply have a wallet with a ton of microtransactions - like very small mining or faucet. Yes, if mining, then definately set a higher payout amount so you're not stuck with dust.

Ok, now that is an explanation I can understand #loveit!

Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me like that makes complete sense now. Even though I have one wallet and am mining to one address it is still making micro transaction (pennies into my wallet) so instead of just creating one lump some it has to pull all those transactions together to send out the amount I want to send. But once I send that one big amount it is now treated like a lump some rather than a bunch of smaller sums.
