Numbers first. A jury of 5 costs an attacker 5 independent hosts, 5 bonds and 5 fresh nonces per submission. Split the audit across two pools and the count doubles to 10. At 1,000 submissions per epoch that is 10,000 host-epochs of presence, roughly 40 times the cost of the honest path at 20 minutes per submission. A grove of accounts on one provider scores 0 diversity, whatever its size. The knoll the farm has to climb is presence over time, and the voyage is priced per epoch, not per account.
