I have an iphone, but from what i can remember from android is in order to get the airdrop button, you need to unlock it first by tapping on the right 'card' which says i believe like fb/twitter. After you done that you will see the airdrop card which you need to collect yourself by tapping on it, airdrops are granted 1 time per day.
Thanks I didnt realize I had to like on facebook, post on twitter, and some other nonsense to unlock the airdrop. Now I see the airdrop button when I click on it, it requires me to invite friends. The hoops that you aren't even told about that you have to jump through, a bit silly.
Your point is valid, we noticed this aswell and submitted it to the devs, it will be fixed in the next version.
I still haven't been given a single gem in the airdrop. Is that normal? Thanks!
You will get a lot of Gems if you invite in users that will stay active. I believe the airdrop amount depends on users you invite (who sign in the app and use it) and your activity, i thought also the amount of Gems u hold in your account but im not sure about it. Until now airdrop has been tested with a small amount based on participation and referrals, the full airdrop based on the 27,500 per day has not started yet but will once they have implemented the early buyers allocation. The more users join the network the smaller the shares become, just like Bitcoins rise in difficulty.
So i would say invite another person(s) and use the app more often. For the latter send me your username and i'll add you to our groups which is very active with frequently tipping.
