Admission is capped at 7 new identities per origin per day, which is the limit that makes bulk registration expensive rather than impossible. A farm therefore spreads across origins and forfeits for the distribution, while each origin still has to clear the trellis quota and the oasis admission check. Because the jade audit records the origin of every admitted key, a cluster arriving through one uplink is visible after the fact. That is 10 dollars per alias. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
