The Community Pot
Every night a portion of the Community Pot (5% or $25, whichever is greatest) is paid out to the experts who have answered questions on this site.
Community Pot Total: $3
The Community Pot has 2 sources of income:
1.) Community Sponsors who donate to the community
2.) Askers who fail to get an answer, but who donate their prize rather than ask for a refund
Experts are paid proportionally to the amount of money they have earned on the site during the last 30 days.
Good Citizens receive 3 times the normal amount from the Community Pot. That is, their share is triple weighted.
