Re: Mersenne: Rewards for prime stuff??

[Chris K. Caldwell]

Kidding aside, suppose there was a real prize.  For example, suppose a
third party offered a real prize, say $314,159, for the next Mersenne
prime.  How would GIMPS split the money?  Should it all go to the
individual?  Seems that a fair amount should go to Woltman for writing the
program.  Perhaps also some to PrimeNet and some to those clearing other
exponents...  

How could it be set up so that a large prize would unify rather than
fragment the search?
