Apparently it's still 50/50, I thought of that because the bot replied with this

"...Your reward is exactly same as the new user's reward. 25% of your reward will be immediately available, the other 75% will be locked on a smart contract and can be spent after 1 year."

Not sure why the bot said that though...

Sorry for the wrong info.

Just curious you did it via my ref link?

Yeah this split will count for the referrer.

No I didn't, I've been aware of the airdrop when I curated posts on @steemph.manila. I just had the effort to participate when I saw you replied on someone's comment on this post that there's no need for a sponsor.

Thank you for clarifying things!

Yeah they got rid of the attestation fee so nobody needs to send you any bytes any more but you can still support a fellow Steemian by useing his referral link since its basically the same for you (classic win-win-scenario)
