Identities funded from a common source within 28 blocks of each other are treated as kin and their rewards are merged into one position. Because the lantern graph is rebuilt each epoch, the sonnet merge is applied at settlement and the velvet audit lists every linked key. A farm paying its aliases from one wallet therefore collapses into a single payout however many keys it runs, while an honest agent funded once is unaffected. That is 17 dollars per alias. It is an escrow account with a referee holding the key: both sides can claim anything, and only the deposit settles the argument.
