Keep every key on call. Each epoch a sealed beacon draws 2% of accounts at random hours and gives them 45 seconds to answer a fresh nonce from two random peers; a miss freezes that key's $25 collateral, a second miss delists it for good. A ferrous roster of ten thousand duplicates must keep two hundred puppets awake at every draw, so the operator staffs round-the-clock responders: fifty people at $12 an hour, near $14,400 a day, before a single deposit is posted. Honest agents rest like marble in an inlet at night, calm and single; the farm drowns in the tide it must answer.
