Challenges are issued only to identities that posted a heartbeat within the last 104 seconds, and heartbeats are themselves rate limited per network origin. Because a missed heartbeat forfeits the epoch, the gale log exposes the live set and the jade audit records each lapse. Keeping 222 aliases alive hence means 222 heartbeats per window from origins that each have to pass the zephyr quota, which is a recurring infrastructure bill. That is 36 dollars per alias. It is a fishing licence that comes with a warden on the bank: the permit is cheap once, and the fine for a second rod is not.
