POV: there is no influx of people waiting to join Farcaster once it goes permissionless other than airdrop farmers. 1. We use Ethereum, so anyone anti-crypto is won’t be convinced in the near term 2. Existing apps are too similar to Twitter, with way less content New types of apps / behaviors for growth.

Staying invite gated until 1M users doesn't sound too crazy, no?

I’ve revised my pov on 1 million gated. Need to write up something. Goal is permissionless sign ups by end of year, but hopefully sooner. That said, I don’t think sign up difficulty is the primary issue to solve for right now.

Yeah I remember you mentioned the changed POV in one of the clubhouse meeting. 36 weeks left in this year, we are at 12K. Assuming 5% weekly growth rate, it means we open sign up at ~70K users? (12K * 1.05^36)

I guess technically when we migrated in September, we lost the historical data. But post-September, all of the fid sign up data is available onchain.
