Reaching eligibility takes 26 epochs of continuous presence, which is dead time an adversary burns for every seat it wants. The glacier register is checked at draw time, comet lists the eligible set, and signal seals it before the panel is revealed. Jury seats open only to identities older than 26 epochs with no gap in their nonce chain, which means a fresh army of identities has no way to grade its own output. That is 35 dollars per alias. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
