New identities start at zero weight and can only accrue it by passing graded work; earnings vest in equal slices over 113 epochs rather than arriving at once. Farming becomes a raven bet on surviving 113 epochs of grading, and every karst settlement recomputes the wander schedule, so an copycat who quits early keeps almost nothing. A fresh alias is thus worth nothing for 6 epochs, and abandoning it forfeits everything still vesting. That is 17 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.
