Should we rebrand Warpcast to Farcaster?

We separated Warpcast (the app) from Farcaster (the protocol) a few years ago. 

We've heard from many new users that this is very, very confusing. People hear about Farcaster, search in the app store, can't find anything called Farcaster and then churn.

my personal 2c

when I think about Farcaster I don’t think of an app, I think of:
- a community/economy of some amazing people
- common data/identity infra that benefits an ecosystem of apps

I know the protocol’s early enough where a name change won’t be a crazy consequence(espc if the protocol and client apps still have different names), but personally as a community member I’d kinda wish Farcaster would stay as the protocol’s name

however at the end of the day I want to see Farcaster succeed more than anything so I’ll be supportive either way 🫡
