You'd have to publicly disclose the algorithm in order to patent it, so you might as well collect the prize money too. There's also the possibility that such a breakthrough could be theoretically significant, yet still intractable for all practical purposes. (E.g., a polynomial algorithm for some NP-complete problem is found, but the runtime is still O(n^100)...good luck monetizing that!)

你必须公开披露该算法才能申请专利，所以你也可以领取奖金。还有一种可能性是，这样的突破在理论上可能具有重大意义，但对于所有实际目的来说仍然难以实现。 （例如，找到了一些 NP 完全问题的多项式算法，但运行时间仍然是 O(n^100)...祝你好运！）
