The fact that *renting* is at all possible suggests to me that the following situation *could* arise: * A market of lessors arises. * A surveillor creates multiple identities. * Each fake identity rents separately from multiple lessors. * Surveillor gets privacy data by paying out rent money to the lessor market. In defiads, I and Tamas pretty much concluded that rental would happen inevitably. One could say that defiads was a kind of fidelity bond system. Our solution for defiads was to prioritize propagating advertisements (roughly equivalent to the certificates in your system, I think) with larger bonded values * min(bonded_time, 1 year). However, do note that we did not intend defiads to be used for privacy-sensitive applications like JoinMarket/Teleport.
