=== Explanation ===

Scanning is the lifeblood of wormhole life. We live and die by our knowledge of the connections around us. To promote good scanning habits, WHC pays a small, fixed percentage of ~~its~~ total weekly ~~activity~~ to anyone who bookmarks a signature and records it in our mapping tool. The payout is shared amongst those who scanned in any given week and is proportional to the number of signatures scanned. Scan more, and you get paid more. For new members who may not have the ships or risk tolerance to fly other PvE activities, scout payouts can be a meaningful way of bootstrapping one's wormhole career while also learning an invaluable skill. For veterans who already know the value and wish to give back, they may voluntarily decline to receive scout payouts by contacting a WHC Community Coordinator.

Scanning is the lifeblood of wormhole life. We live and die by our knowledge of the connections around us. To promote good scanning habits, WHC pays a small, fixed percentage (currently 7.5%) of the total weekly proceeds sold through WHC buyback to anyone who bookmarks a signature and records it in our mapping tool. The payout is shared amongst those who scanned in any given week and is proportional to the number of signatures scanned. Scan more, and you get paid more. For new members who may not have the ships or risk tolerance to fly other PvE activities, scout payouts can be a meaningful way of bootstrapping one's wormhole career while also learning an invaluable skill. For veterans who already know the value and wish to give back, they may voluntarily decline to receive scout payouts by contacting a WHC Community Coordinator.

Note: It is convention at WHC for a scout who finds PvP content to receive an additional 50% of all loot dropped (often colloquially called a "Y" for historical reasons). This is unrelated and complementary to the Scout Payout for signature scanning. Pilots may receive both.
