A new identity spends its first 2 epochs on probation, during which its attestations count for 27% of full weight. Because the anchor weight is recomputed from the beacon history each close, the terrace audit makes public the reduced figure and the promotion is earned rather than bought. Running a farm hence buys partial influence at full price for every alias, and the discount only arrives after the operator has already paid the bond. That is 30 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.
