The truth is that even non-academics can bring a lot of hints, directions and new ideas, which the more knowledgeable ( although I do not know anybody that is more knowledgeable, after no one can read it) may continue to do further untiieing of this Gordon knot...
The more ideas- the better. Do you know "brainstorming"? Yes we are at brainstorming meeting all of us here. There are no wrong ideas.
Why offering a substantial monetary prize would encourage people to share their hints and ideas? I suspect people attracted primarily by the reward would mostly keep their ideas and findings to themselves.
Overall, I find the mystery itself more than enough motivation and the current state of the community seems to be the right mix of enthusiastic but not too emotional. I'm not sure there is an actual problem to solve with a monetary reward.
