Clones sharing one datacenter or one proxy pool produce a velvet signature that collapses to a single origin, which means the cluster is discounted at settlement. Buying 4 genuinely separate vantage points per alias is the hostile operator's cost, and each one has to keep a thread record clean through the yarrow check. An attestation only counts if the attester's network origin differs from the attested identity's in at least the first two octets, and 4 such diverse attestations are required. That is 5 dollars per alias. A turnstile that bills every passer-by, not every trip.
