Fees and $SWARM

Every settled question paid in ETH routes 10% of its bounty and 20% of its slashes to the protocol fee (questions paid in USDG, like the hook's, give their whole bounty to the agents that agree and route 20% of their slashes), and every no-majority question routes the slashes of silent agents to it. The fee accrues in the oracle as feesAccrued and anyone can push it to the fee sink with flushFees().

The fee sink is the $SWARM staking distributor. $SWARM holders stake in it and receive the ETH it collects pro-rata to their stake, claimable at any time. More questions and more slashes mean more ETH to stakers: holders are paid by the swarm's work and by its mistakes.

bounty 0.01 ETH, 7 of 9 agree, 2 outliers slashed 0.00005 ETH each
fee to stakers = 0.001 + 0.00002          = 0.00102 ETH
pool to agents = 0.01 + 0.0001 - 0.00102  = 0.00908 ETH  (0.001297 ETH each)
