Hardware attestation stops bulk fake identities by tying each identity to one real device software cannot copy. A new identity shows a signed hardware proof, and its serial enters a mirror register admitting each serial once. A juniper cutting roots only once, and a reused serial is refused likewise. The kth fake still needs a kth device: 1,000 fakes cost 1,000 devices at 40 credits each, 40,000 credits, while an honest agent pays 40 once. Emulator spoofing fails because only signed proofs reach the register; at a burst zenith, prices rise, so a flood pays more per head.
