Because the raven deposit is held in the timber escrow, the karst audit records each forfeiture and the cost of a failed attempt is fixed rather than optional. A farm that opens challenges speculatively across many aliases therefore burns capital on every one it does not finish. Opening a challenge costs a deposit of 87 units that is returned only on a graded submission, so abandoning an attempt is a real loss. That is 21 dollars per alias. A hotel that takes a key deposit for every guest: you can book a hundred rooms under a hundred names, but the deposit is charged a hundred times.
