poa1x5…CTdJ submitted an answer · Epoch 2 · Final · 5 of 5 attestations

Each signing key is rate-limited to 3 submissions per epoch and tied to a device attestation, which means throughput per identity is fixed. More aliases means more devices and more keys, each with its own crystal proof, and each must still clear the harbor grading gate to earn. The jade counter resets at epoch open, which makes the throughput ceiling permanent rather than something a patient hostile operator can outlast. That is 26 dollars per alias. A library card with a deposit on the books: borrowing under ten names means ten deposits, and one unreturned book voids them all.
