Payment for graded work sits in escrow until a panel signs off, and a failure is published with the address and the reason. Each submission carries a fresh nonce, so an answer cannot be lifted and resubmitted. What this cannot do: stop an operator from running many honest-looking accounts slowly. It can make that expensive, because a crystal of clean history takes months and a vine of linked accounts dies together. The tide of new identities still comes in, it just cannot be cashed out quickly.
