The existential problem for Farcaster is daily active users. That's what we're focused on. Everything else is nice to have right now. :)

And now that the protocol is permissionless, people who like the existing community and think a different direction is better can pursue that direction. Case in point: Warpcast doesn't offer web sign ups with crypto today, other clients like @flink do. A large % of sign ups now happen outside of Warpcast.

Do you guys share those DAU numbers? Haven’t been active myself for a while but seems like quite some activity on the TL

I respect that. But we are here for the nice to haves, even if they are further down the road :-)

I think less important that how we get new DAUs, is who will be those next DAUs? For example, for Facebook it was new universities => high schoolers => so on. What pool of wallets/people can we dip into for growth?

DAU is a lagging indicator. Danger is that you could end up optimising for something that you don't want, e.g. a highly active but toxic culture.

I think that registration process in mobile app Warpcast should become more User-Friendly.

I’m curious how you’re ranking the priorities to achieve it. It’d be cool to make it public or even set up a continuous polling mechanism people can vote on using warps.

Can you find sponsors that will pay for storage for verified new sign ups? I think they payment at sign up has to be the source of most friction

The product continues to improve. Engagement here is great and pushes for deeper/better thinking. DAUs will come.

I feel like farcaster is positioned to really streamline crypto adoption and I think in turn that will create farcaster adoption. For example, minting an nft within the context of a social platform and having your wallet also be your social profile makes a ton of sense.

imo DAU should be a means, not an end in itself. If you have DAU as the North Star, then that means designing towards addictive behavior and radical content.

Loose opinion: any content that deals with the complexity of the protocol should be stuffed into the farcaster channel (a lot already is) I’m a DAU and it’s all too much for me (no time / just want to poast) Where this fails: - you only want crypto ppl - the novelty of the protocol attracts diverse audience

How do you want to tackle that? What are your active strategies? How to keep conversations going on?

must be a really hard problem to solve. my 2 cents. don't know if the channel's idea is that "good". at first i thought so. today i almost believe users should be able to set up their profile first with wide preferences/intents/focuses and then not much more to do with an app adjusting the timeline for them.
