If you don’t like the “make money” consumer value prop for Farcaster—what do you think is better? Reply with a suggestion and rationale. Like replies that resonate.

Developers and network effects. I always thought farcaster would hit PMF once > 2 very different apps built on top of the network (twitter/reddit) reinforce each other. I thought paragraph conversations came close. Receipts interesting but fitness may be too small. Has to be social. I think options are - communities (discord) - niches (Reddit) - discovery (Pinterest) - search (real time Google) How about the Warpcast team maintains Warpcast but takes a big bet on client #2? Another completely line of thinking: why did Bluesky grow? Seems the answer is pick a massive and cultural stance (they picked political left). Can’t think of one that works tho, right is taken by X, left is bs, you have crypto but that’s too small.

I’m skeptical on one company pre-pmf having two apps and a protocol. Diluted focus. But agree two at-scale apps would be a big win.

So maybe create incentives for the second app? Serious funding or some kind of accelerator. Also and this sucks but, if this is the only option it’s better to lose focus than die?

I think any serious app already has a clear incentive: building something that a lot of people use. Anything else is marginal (and good apps are able to raise their own funds). Losing focus is almost certain way to fail?

On 1: agree but bigger concern is good consumer founders lacking in crypto (they’re very rare in general). You’re pretty good tho so seem like the best bet :)) On 2: I actually think you could like put 80% of focus on new app? Potentially 100% and kill Warpcast (others can bring it back like supercast). If farcaster network is the vision and you strongly believe that 2 apps is necessary, then delegating that second app feels like bigger risk
