# kaal:claim:3652481-039

**Claim.** Reputation weighted salary distribution defeats sock puppet attacks, because a member who creates ten accounts holding one reputation token each ends up in the same position as one account holding ten reputation tokens.

**Type.** mechanism  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- salary is distributed in proportion to reputation token holdings

**Source quote.**

> This solves the sock- puppet attack because if a DevDAO member creates 10 accounts with 1 reputation token each, it is the same as 1 account with 10 reputation tokens.
