The only payments are the gas fees which are inherent in any ETH contract, the creators gain nothing from those fees. They DO get money from those who bought into the ICO but that's an investors decision. The cost to get the airdrop was negligible, and it was entirely optional, so pay and hope the tiny cluster fraction gains value, or don't and have no worries about your own money.

LOL....Okay....44 cents per contract call....for a 0.000002 cent stake! If that makes sense to you, go for it. Gas fees are used to execute a contract. In this case, the contract executed "mines" new token for the token creators and token ICO purchasers, but not the airdroppers....make sense?

EDIT: It's like the older boy who gave the younger boy 2 brand new pennies for his old worn out dime!

Now this is getting ridiculous to an extreme level.

The airdrop contract has exactly 2 functions: registerAirdrop and claimAirdrop.

The only thing you do when calling any of those functions, is paying the transaction fee to store this information in the blockchain (101 basics of the Ethereum network).
Those fees are not received by anyone but miners on the Ethereum network. (really, this is the most basic knowledge about Ethereum)

The contract will throw if anyone attempts to send money, so it's balance will always be 0, like you can see on the blockchain.

Our contract has no need to 'mine new tokens' as you claim, since the amount of ClusterTokens needed for this airdrop have been funded inside the contract from the second the contract got launched.
As you can see right here, https://etherscan.io/tx/0xe010767a839c15fda3aae62934dbb737ea9d39ac9828185257947cf5901e93ea , and has been payed by us, and dedecuted from our own balance.

TL;DR

You pay gas to execute any transaction on the Ethereum network. In this case, to reserve a spot or to claim rewards from the contract.
You can read some basic documentation about Ethereum on Google before making ridiculous statements and claims.
