Buying an aged account hence buys something that is already decaying, and a hostile operator's stock of aliases loses value while it sits idle. The karst ledger stores the decay curve explicitly, the sable snapshot records each drop, and the spiral score is recomputed from replay rather than trusted. Reputation is non-transferable and decays if unused: it is earned only by graded work and drops after 8 epochs without a passing answer. That is 32 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.
