RE: LeoThreads: The Micro-Earning Revolution

I just need to point out that comment_payout_update virtual operation only indicates end of cashout process (it has "update" in the name because in ancient times you could actually receive multiple payouts on the same comment, now it only happens once at 7th day after posting). It is generated even if no reward was given due to lack of / too weak votes. This is how actual rewards are indicated:

comment_reward we see here is just a summary of rewards recalculated to HBD, the values actually transferred to reward balances are in author_reward and/or comment_benefactor_reward. There are also curation_reward operations related to that cashout in history of voters.

Of course, even if comment did not receive any rewards in 1st layer, it can still be rewarded with 2nd layer tokens, but that is something I know nothing about.
