@df @stephancill @carlos, you should just let everybody with FC account play with the bot. you limit your customers to those approved by Neynar. the list updated only once a week, which means your potential customer base cannot grow during the week. 
New users coming from Solana will find themselves treated as second-class citizens and unable to participate. if i have to buy after the Neynar-VC round, I might as well go back to pump.fun for a fair game that i can participate at the beginning.
And who knows when and how Neynar list will change? Will the change be good or bad for your product? this will only hurt growth. 

plz focus on providing a different experience from pump.fun. The social graph of FC account is the core of the different experience. Rather than letting Neynar dictate, just provide these info so people can make their own choices. 

imo,FC account is enough for bot filtering. this user group is already small enough. If you find pmf, let @dwr.eth solve the spam bot problem.
