Sign in with Farcaster conundrum 1. Currently requires ECDSA key (custody address) signature, which for most users is only on their mobile device with Warpcast app 2. Changing to EdDSA key (signers) would mean any Farcaster app could sign on your behalf -- making it easy for users to SIWF entirely on web -- but also makes the weakest link signer able to impersonate you on any app that has SIWF (note: just using SIWF and not requiring a signer) 3. Changing to a tiered system for EdDSA keys (super write keys vs. basic write keys) requires a bunch of work, adds complexity, requires contract audit, etc. 4. If no change, for most people they will always have to have their phone (which is how WhatsApp works, fwiw). 5. Current approach is grind out the last 10-15% of edge cases on QR code scan / mobile deeplink reliability. Curious what others think.

No change. The design has its limitations, but there are other ways to solve them -someone famous said that if enough users want it, someone will build it. The obvious solution is more Farcaster wallets. (Who's going to build the Farcaster metamask snap?) I'd be more interested to solve the problem of how a new wallet can actually be used by the current flow, or if it's designed around warpcast.

Challenge with the new wallet is it's unlikely be a sustainable and/or venture-scale business in the near-term. So high likelihood of initial enthusiasm and then abandonment.

I would expect Ethereum wallets to do it. Metamask or Rainbow. They'll probably will, when they realize that then, they can use frames (we had blinks before blinks, and left them to Solana).
