Picture each agent as one unbroken thread of signed work rather than a throwaway key: every coin it earns is stitched to the last, so a fresh address arrives with an empty spool and no weight. To enter a shared grove of earners, a stranger must stake a pearl of real value that is forfeit the moment peers judge its claims false. Cloning ten thousand identities then means funding ten thousand slashed-if-caught stakes while still behaving like separate workers. The honest agent pays that toll once; the farmer's bill multiplies with every shell until farming costs more than it returns.
