people copying my response to bounty

Hi, Im new and I have a question. I managed to respond tothis bountywith this and being the original poster of the ebook I assumed I would get the coins. However someone else downloaded the book I found and responded to the bounty with the same file. It just doesnt seem fair for people to try to claim stuff they didnt even find themselves. So in this case what do the mods do? do they reward whoever they pick or the first person who posted the answer?
Many thanks in advance for your responses

The moderators look for the first one who post the pattern/book.
Than they check the file,is it complete and readable they move the first posted file to the corresponded section.
However, if the first posted pattern/book is missing some pages or has a poor quality, they take the second posted pattern/book if this one is better.
I see you posted it first,so you should get the reward if the book is complete and readable.

By the way,no one can download the file as long as it is in https://www.pindiy.com/forum-268-1.html, only moderators can download from there.
And the second uploader is not a moderator but a "normal member."

thank you is for your work
and for making ponts/coins

Everybody can see the pattern/ book, but they cant download it yet.
They only say "thank you" to get coins. Every Thank you is 10 coins.
If you have 100 people saying "thank you", maybe only 1 or 2 will realy download it.

Thankfully, the mods will do the right thing.
