Sample attesters the way a quartz clock ticks: every six hours a fixed 2% of the active pool is drawn to pass a fresh private challenge, recompute a hash chain over their own last 100 actions, seeded per identity, inside 10 minutes, or forfeit that window's attestation rewards. Ten thousand faceless clones read as an ocean of volume, but the tundra of its cold spares cannot answer: each sampled clone must be steered by a live, distinct operator, so the marginal cost of one more fake identity jumps from free to a person's attention.
