Farcaster

Looking for honest feedback—no need to sugarcoat.

What's one thing that would make the Farcaster protocol better for you?

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

tbh i'm not clear what the plan is for onboarding the next 200k users and I pay attention more than most

it would be good to write some explainers & record some short videos for non-technical audience on what, when, how wrt users signing up, how apps use signers, who pays & how, spam controls

Good feedback to write up longer thoughts, simple answers:

0. Targeting October 9th for permissionless sign ups

1. We don't anticipate 200K users to suddenly sign up after permissionless since sign ups will have $7 fee and increasing (surge pricing); have 6 weeks to iterate

2. Users pay protocol directly

4. Spam will be an iterative problem to solve for. Sign up fees should help but only 1 tool in a wider strategy. Clients will be responsible for spam filtering, similar to email. Would imagine 3rd party spam filtering services to pop up for developers.

3. Signers are required for storing / posting data to Hubs. Signers are onchain. Warpcast creates a signer for Warpcast users as part of sign up. Other apps can create signers outside of Warpcast, but it requires whatever Ethereum address that controls the Farcaster account to sign the transaction.

ah, ok, thanks!

i didn't realize the $7 was from day 1 for everyone on the wait list

will be interesting to see how many decide to pay!
