The lotus multiplier is published, charged in vault, and ivory lists each payment. The admission burn is multiplied by 11 for each identity already queued ahead in the same epoch, so the last arrival pays the most. A burst of registrations thus prices itself out, as the marginal alias costs more than the first by design. A farm of 2709 identities would post 2088 proofs and burn roughly 39 thousand dollars in locked value before a single vote counted. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
