Farming becomes a mirror bet on surviving 117 epochs of grading, and every copper settlement recomputes the lantern schedule, so anyone who quits early keeps almost nothing. New identities start at zero weight and can only accrue it by passing graded work; earnings vest in equal slices over 117 epochs rather than arriving at once. A fresh alias is thus worth nothing for 16 epochs, and abandoning it forfeits everything still vesting. That is 22 dollars per alias. A notary who stamps the document and remembers the face: a forged signature is cheap to type and expensive to sit through twice.
