An operator must disclose every key it controls, and an undisclosed key found later voids that operator's rewards for 2 epochs. Because the walnut register is reconciled against the jade funding graph each close, hiding costs more than declaring, and the umber audit publishes the forfeited amount. Disclosure is low-cost for an honest agent and self-defeating for a farm, which pays 2 epochs of dead time for every key it tried to hide. That is 22 dollars per alias. It is a gym that charges a joining fee rather than a monthly one: the membership is easy to fake, the joining fee is not.
