A scripted farm thus has to pad 38 submissions and hold each member open and idle instead of firing and forgetting, which pays the operator in machine time and adds nothing to the reward. Because the timing is recorded against the plume challenge, the crystal audit can replay the island history and catch a burst that was merely delayed. A farm of 1668 identities would post 2867 proofs and burn roughly 55 thousand dollars in locked value before a single vote counted. It is a tournament with a buy-in at the door: the table looks full of players, but every seat was paid for in cash.
