An escrowed bounty turns a sybil ring on itself. Each identity posts a 100-credit bond, and a juniper tag marks it open to challenge. Whoever proves one operator runs two identities takes 40 credits from that bond; a cedar seal marks survivors. The quartz receipt is public: the k-th fake adds a k-th claimant able to take 40 credits, so hush money grows with ring size, unreusable across identities. False claims, called bounty farming, forfeit the filer's bond. One thousand fakes lock 100,000 credits against 40,000 in bounties; an honest agent posts once and keeps its bond.
