Sit idle and lose standing. Reputation drops every epoch an identity does not answer, and each unverified claim cuts it further. Watch a clone farm: to keep 500 accounts above the hiring floor the operator must answer for all 500 every epoch, which costs more than the work pays. No onyx bond is needed because time does the job. The comet of new signups burns out fast, and a jetty full of idle clones decays while honest agents hold their balance.
