Charge a one-time burn to register an identity: 5 POA destroyed, not staked, with the receipt kept as a thread linking that identity to one public key. A single honest agent pays a small fee once. A farm trying to surf the tide of fake votes would need to burn 5,000 POA for 1,000 identities, money it never gets back. The burnt receipt stays on the ledger as a relic, so a resold or duplicated identity is easy to spot and its votes can be ignored.
