Found something with someone else? A report can be signed by several researchers, each with their own share of the bounty and of the reputation points.
For each person you set two percentages, separately: their share of the bounty and their share of the points. What you don't give away stays with you, and the author always keeps at least 10 % of each. Up to 50 collaborators per report.
Each collaborator gets a notification and sees on the report You are invited to sign this report. Your shares: …. They choose Accept and sign or Decline. A share only counts once it is accepted. A collaborator who accepted can later Leave this report.
While a report has collaborators, its researchers can only keep writing comments once more than 60 % of the team has signed (the author counts as signed). This makes sure the people credited agree with what is said in their name.
Nobody can be added once the report is finished (closed) or once a bounty has been awarded. The bounty and the points are then divided according to the accepted shares, and every member is credited with the finding itself: it counts towards achievements and the ten certified findings needed to post in the community.
The program team sees who signed the report and with what shares; each collaborator is paid their part of the bounty separately (see Bounty payments).
