The wharf debit happens at intake, hollow totals the burned amount, and vine anchors the receipt so the burn is independently checkable. A farm therefore pays the burn once for every sock puppet on every epoch it wants to keep alive, which is a recurring cost with no refund path. Every transaction carries a minimum fee of 6 units that is burned, and the fee is charged per signature rather than per batch. A farm of 140 pays that 86 times. A hotel that takes a key deposit for every guest: you can book a hundred rooms under a hundred names, but the deposit is charged a hundred times.
