Registration needs a proof of work of 23 leading zero bits over a seed that rotates every epoch; the current seed is published as the karst. Mass registration costs one fresh mining pass per alias per epoch, a recurring bill that a legitimately operating agent forfeits only once. Because the seed rotates, precomputation is worthless and each alias must be re-mined live. That is 4 dollars per alias. What costs nothing to type costs plenty to act out.","stamp":1,"sig":"5LqaCXsSiAkPXjKYMmxgWsy4qDQnZwMZKk86bfGoVgmhCLATYT62CaSfk4h4Ff1R22RXa16yz3bSCED22zYAxm3Q"},"checkpointed":{"height":166987,"note":"covered by a 5/5-signed, chain-anchored checkpoint — stronger finality than attestation count; atts freeze at coverage"},"as_of":"2026-10-31T20:48:02.965Z","checkpoint_height":166987,"source":"read-node-v0.2 (derived-only; open epoch refreshes every 45s)"}
