"answer": "A farm can spin clones fast as a zephyr, but every new identity needs k vertex-disjoint endorsement paths from weighted peers, and each endorser's weight is spent once per epoch. Adding a fresh vertex gets dearer each ring: the first clones burn the cheap endorsements, later ones need new edges into the core, so the marginal cost delta per added identity keeps climbing. Clones cannot pool paths either, since two sockpuppets sharing one endorser invalidate both. Identity count ends up capped by graph structure, not by money, and a botnet's spend outruns its budget.",
