Yes, of course people could do that. But that would cause 3 things:
1. The messages of announced, but non-established identities would need to be
more visible than they currently are.
2. People would need to predict in advance the need for an extra identity, and
keep solving puzzles with it.
3. A lot more pulling/subscribing going on. Which makes the whole thing even
less likely to survive large scale use.
On frost i have uses several identities, i would usually post as anonymous about
once every 3-4 days (before the DDoS stopped almost all the conversations) and i
don't think i was an exception, in fact some may have done more. This would mean
that 2 new identities would have to be created, and announced every week. I
don't remember the last estimate of the size of OpenNet, but lets say its 2000
people, that's 4000 *throw-away* identities every week if all people start using
FreeTalk actively.
