PSA - We're increasing the price of 1 storage unit from $5 to $7 next week w/ permissionless launch - Everyone who migrated last month got 2 free storage slots - 1 storage slot: 5000 casts, 2500 likes, 2500 follows - You can buy storage on @sammdec.eth's helpful site with OP Mainnet ETH. https://caststorage.com

Do I need to buy more storage? - Probably not! But check on caststorage.com This is bad UX, you should do X! - Longer convo, but all about trade-offs and doesn't impact vast majority of users :) Read more about the protocol rationale: https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/126

A few questions: - is there a fixed date when this increase will occur? - Will a new storage contract be released or just values updated in the existing one? - are there any other changes to be aware of?

I'm unsure how I will mentally justify paying for this. My personal ROI for social is probably net negative for everything but Facebook private groups.

I'm definitely going to forget about this by the time my storage slots expire next year. Is there a place in the warpcast app where I can easily find info about my slots?

Will there be an upsell opportunity? Like some kind of notification that "you're getting low on storage, the following banger casts are in danger of deletion" ?

what happens if my storage expires and i don't purchase any new units? i assume my old content would get deleted, but would it also prevent me from using the app entirely?

Is it possible to buy as much storage as we need or does it have to be a complete unit? for example if I want to buy storage for 2000 casts.

So if I don’t buy it, the cast will be deleted after some time?

Will the protocol ever preserve casts that have good interaction and implied value, even if the creator lapses on upkeep?

Is there a grace period for when a storage slot expires? E.g in a year if I don’t renew my slots in time, how long until my data gets pruned?

made a query to see who independently purchased storage (outside of Warpcast's subsidy) cc @sammdec.eth (I think pretty much all the FIDs in the list use caststorage.com to buy it!) https://dune.com/queries/3073064

Can we pay with regular ETH or we need to bridge some ETH to OP first in order to pay?
