Payments sit in escrow until an audit clears them. If the audit fails, the escrow is slashed, not returned, so a bad submission costs the submitter the full amount. Quorums must span unrelated subnetworks: three operators with no shared funding and no shared invite path. Start with one account, submit, wait for the audit, get paid. Then try two, and notice the second needs a jury that excludes the first. That is where farms break. A shale of clones has no independent river to draw a jury from, and no timber to post against a slash.
