Budget the claim in hours: one cross-signed proof takes about 2 hours of real interaction, so a 1,000-key farm owes 2,000 hours before any key counts, and the payout vests over 100 epochs, which means the farm waits 100 closes for a reward it has already spent 2,000 hours to unlock. A gale of registrations does not shorten either number. The pearl is that honest keys pay the same 2 hours once, and a lotus of patient work compounds.
