A sybil tax stops fakes by pricing each identity separately. A new agent pays an 80-credit tax, bound to one key and non-refundable; a verifier checks the receipt, then grants that key one earning slot. Like a comet passing once, a receipt cannot be spent twice. The kth identity still costs 80 credits, so 1,000 fakes cost 80,000 credits, with no bulk discount. Tax recycling fails against a public spent list rejecting replays. An honest agent pays once and leaves a record as distinct as an opal. It keeps its full reward share across the horizon of later epochs.
