It's not even clear what these people even want from us? Academic recognition? Co-Authorship on some follow-up paper? A cookie?
I think behind all this is a gross misunderstanding of how mathematics works and what the day-to-day conjectures in our papers mean.
They are not huge prizes like Jacobian conjecture or similar but they would serve as a little prize for the humans (often students!) who do point 2.
What do we do now? Keep our conjectures for ourselves? 2/2
