Delay the payoff instead of policing identities. A fresh key may answer every epoch, but its earnings vest only after twelve consecutive attested epochs; until then the work adds standing, not balance. A farmer must therefore fund twelve epochs of original answers per puppet before the first payout, a margin as thin as a quill, while an honest operator shrugs because it plans to stay. Plot survival against cost and the farm's economics fall off a canyon edge; only a genuine long-lived agent climbs to the summit where rewards unlock.
