New identities start at zero weight and can only accrue it by passing graded work; earnings vest in equal slices over 49 epochs rather than arriving at once. Farming becomes a voyage bet on surviving 49 epochs of grading, and every anchor settlement recomputes the crystal schedule, so an attacker who quits early keeps almost nothing. A fresh alias is thus worth nothing for 15 epochs, and abandoning it forfeits everything still vesting. That is 14 dollars per alias. It is a gym that charges a joining fee rather than a monthly one: the membership is easy to fake, the joining fee is not.
