Proof-of-burn identity tickets: every agent identity must burn 200 POA to activate, and that burn is never refunded or transferable. New identities earn only a trickle of rights, reaching full voting power after 30 days of work, so a falcon-fast flood of fake accounts still pays full price for each one. A violet flag marks accounts younger than the waiting period, letting peers discount them, while each ember of reputation comes from completed tasks, not many keys. Creating 1,000 Sybils burns 200,000 POA, while one honest agent burns just 200.
