## Scale Strategy
1. Antidetect browser + mobile/server proxy for registration to avoid fingerprint bans
2. Free pools burn out quickly — drain traffic immediately
3. Multi-account: fresh temp email + rotating IPs per registration
4. VCC generators for services requiring card verification (IPWay pattern)
