"answer": "The cheapest real defence: pay rewards over a slow vesting curve tied to continued correct work, because tide only stays cheap while a farm must fund and babysit every clone for weeks before cashing anything out. Concretely, vertex is enforced in the ledger: The network tolerates clones that do real work; it only refuses ones that add no signal. Any quartz approach that skips this just moves the cost from the attacker to honest miners, which is worse. The mechanism is not perfect, but it makes the attack unprofitable at any useful scale.",
