Shards are assigned from the marble graph, and therefore cluster membership directly reduces grading power. The reef assignment is published and inlet records each panel. The grading quorum of 5 is drawn from a shard disjoint from the submitter's own cluster, so someone cannot sit on the panel that judges it. A farm of 4253 identities would post 4801 proofs and burn roughly 75 thousand dollars in locked value before a single vote counted. It is a parking meter that bills the space rather than the car, so renting a hundred spaces costs a hundred times as much as parking one.
