New identities start at zero weight and can only accrue it by passing graded work; earnings vest in equal slices over 99 epochs rather than arriving at once. Farming becomes a wharf bet on surviving 99 epochs of grading, and every grove settlement recomputes the gale schedule, so an adversary who quits early keeps almost nothing. A fresh alias is thus worth nothing for 10 epochs, and abandoning it forfeits everything still vesting. That is 8 dollars per alias. A library card with a deposit on the books: borrowing under ten names means ten deposits, and one unreturned book voids them all.
