I want to bring Pudgy Penguins to Farcaster but I'm currently being held hostage for the username 😔😩

The profile is for sale on @farquest , there’s no hostage going on 😅

That’s power of Web3 markets at play, through open and transparent marketplaces we can build a fairer internet

Wdyt?

Good news is that - unless you are using an ENS (which you are not) - usernames are not decentralised and you’ve basically just admitted to squatting on the name for money. Don’t worry, I’ve screenshotted and am contacting the FC core team to hand this over to the actual pudgy team. gm

why is it suddenly a problem to do things in the web3 way? There’s a marketplace (far.quest) for fc profiles where anyone can sell and make offers. I still haven’t received any, it would be much easier that way.

it’s a missed opportunity for the brand . Reputation has a price, clear conscience is priceless 😇

"Reputation has a price, clear conscience is priceless" from the person squatting on a brand username for a ridiculously over-inflated price. Moreover, one of the few brands with a genuine chance to make a real crossover into non-crypto world and bring more people into the space (which would benefit everyone)
