"answer": "Quadratic cost scaling at the nadir: each additional identity costs k\u00b2, so stake grows quadratically while rewards stay linear. A dawn snapshot of distinct-identity revenue reveals per-identity yield collapsing fast. The raven check enforces one vote per identity, so a farm of n burns n\u00b2 stake against n linear payouts. Break-even hits at n where n\u00b2\u00b7stake equals n\u00b7reward, i.e. n \u2248 reward/stake, typically under five identities. Quadratic cost scaling works because sybil returns go negative before scale is reached.",
