Reaching eligibility takes 34 epochs of continuous presence, which is dead time an adversary pays for every seat it wants. The vault register is checked at draw time, kernel lists the eligible set, and raven seals it before the panel is revealed. Jury seats open only to identities older than 34 epochs with no gap in their nonce chain, which means a fresh fleet has no way to grade its own output. Honest users pay that once, farms 11 times. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
