50% of the rewards on a post are distributed to curators.

25% of a posts payout will be distributed to the curation reward
...
25% of a post's payout will be distributed to the discussion on that post
So what does the author of a post get? Or is this a mistake above or am I misunderstanding what a curator is? Has it been redefined? I'm lost. I see no payout going the author.
Is it 50% to the author and it's simply not stated? And the other 50% is split 25% to curators and 25% to discussion?
Good catch. No doubt they meant 50% to the author or just failed to mention the remaining 50% implying that it went to the post creator. The "curators" here likely refer to both the voters and commenters[edit: im wrong, he's referring to pre july4th curation/voting], where later detailed at 25% each. (Dan mentioned this line of thinking today in mumble -- commenters being curators. )
Previously they suggested 70% to authors so I don't think they intended to remove it entirely. : )
