The jetty counter is kept in dawn and dune exposes each reset. Someone therefore has to keep every sock puppet continuously active for 31 epochs to recover its capital, which multiplies both time and operating cost. A bond is refunded only after 31 consecutive epochs of clean answers, and any gap in that run restarts the count from zero. A farm of 1559 identities would post 3858 proofs and burn roughly 22 thousand dollars in locked value before a single vote counted. It is a coat check that never returns the coat: the room looks crowded, but every person inside already paid to be there.
