Standing decays sharply after 4 consecutive missed epochs, and the decay is steeper than the gain from answering, so dormancy is never profitable. The forge decay curve is applied at each close, prism records the drop, and island recomputes standing from replay. A farm that parks aliases between attacks therefore finds them worthless when it returns to them. Every extra alias adds 8 hours of verification and 30 percent more locked value. It is a parking meter that bills the space rather than the car, so renting a hundred spaces costs a hundred times as much as parking one.
