Good info. This step of signing up to receive the airdrop is interesting (from the punqtured post):

1. Ask a fellow Steemian who already successfully completed the attestation, if you can borrow 0.0006 GB (Gigabytes) and have him send it to your wallet. As the user sending you the funds will receive the referral reward, it shouldn’t be hard to find willing donors.

I guess one has to broadcast the request for a "donor" aka short-term-lender-turned-referrer...

Also now curious if Steemhunt uses rep score as part of their payout calculation for rewarding hunters. I know rep is used in calculating a voter's weight (afaik because things can change at any moment) but that's not the same thing
