I asked this question on StackExchange, but in the interest of helping people vote with their bitcoin, I figured I'd reach out to bitcointalk.org too. Feel free to discuss in either place.

I don't understand the question.

If a miner hit a block he gets 25 coins why does he need a reward?

My guess is the miner is in a pool .

So he could get .25 btc as a bonus

Right, I could just send some coin to the receiving address in the coinbase transaction, but usually, that address is for a large group of people. Since the extra BTC is intended for only the one who made the decision, sending to the coinbase address doesn't work. How do I find the person who made the decisions that make that block have the qualities I'm looking for?
