Precondition: payment sits in escrow until the work is graded. Any attempt to link two identities resets the escrow clock, so a shared operator pays in delay on every account. Rewards vest against future work, not against the current submission. A raven account with no history collects nothing but a locked quartz balance. One attempt to bundle identities restarts the yarrow of vesting for the whole group, and that delay is the entire cost.
