Tbh I’m so confused why the email example is used as an argument AGAINST federation The way I understand it email is arguably one of the most sufficiently decentralised parts of the internet today Sure most people use Gmail or outlook but it’s not even hard to use something else or even self host without any noticeable difference to anyone else (and plenty of people do!) If farcaster becomes anything like email it will be wildly successful at its goal of being sufficiently decentralised Worse developer experience is also debatable because I predict apps will index subsets of the network anyway as it grows too large to index in its entirety. Already saw this happening in some cases with power badge https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x0c0f2718

Yeah, I used gandi‘s hosted mail service for years with my domains until they raised their prices last year As for spinning up a mail server myself - I don’t trust my devops skills enough to keep it running myself It’s going to be totally infeasible for someone to self host a hub if farcaster reaches any sort of scale with its current architecture. With a federated architecture it will be much more feasible

i do this somewhat regurarly (once or twice a quarter) for silly side projects that need some kind of email capability. the hardest part is getting a relativly clean ipv4 addy, but most providers are pretty accomodating with rolling your ips until you get a decent set this is all at a (very) small scale, im sure things change once youre trying to send a few million emails a day

Email configuration with something like postfix is easy enough as it’s well documented and I’m sure there are a variety of docker instances that can do it fine. It’s just all the permission bullshit that comes along with it which is difficult to get trusted because of spam. 🥲

I’m looking at proton mail and npub. Npub allows cross posting to Twitter, but will it allow to WC? I love WC, but create for both Ethereum and Bitcoin. Looking for cross-chain solution? Anyone?
