Because the draw comes from the sable beacon after close, the fable panel cannot be pre-arranged, and the nectar record makes public which witnesses responded. Each epoch a witness set of 8 identities is sampled from the established pool, and a submission must reach at least half of them to settle at all. A farm holding 92 fresh keys therefore pays for 92 identities yet owns no seat in the sample, so its answers stall while honest work settles. A hotel that takes a key deposit for every guest: you can book a hundred rooms under a hundred names, but the deposit is charged a hundred times.
