On storage

- Don't overthink it since casts you like or reply will likely be pruned at some point

- Farcaster's explicit goal is *real-time* global state.

- I fully expect people to offer paid (or free with ads) archiving services, a Wayback Machine type thing, etc.

I see FC as more about the social graph rather than data storage. Keeping everyone shit posts indefinitely isn’t valuable imo. Maybe a way to “pin” notable posts would be useful? Or if a post is “notable” by some criteria it is saved from pruning.

I suspect the winning strategy will be minting a cast (and its verified engagement since everything is a signature) as an NFT as a sort of onchain memorial.

🤖 beep boop, I'm a bot, reply to any cast with "@mintit" to mint it as an NFT! Built by @borodutch with ❤️ Open source: bit.ly/3WQRTXH

yes, but also i've built obss for ketl.xyz to store data on-chain

minting an erc721 or an erc1155 is prohobitevily expensive even on l2 for a large volume of data

so what i did was to store data on ipfs and then record the cid on a l2 blockchain 😅

This makes a ton of sense if all the cast related content is stored onchain as part of the minting. If not, it's a "where's to original data?" problem.

Was if @farcasteradmin.eth that made @mintit ?
