Farcaster

What's something you find confusing about Farcaster or Warpcast?

No dumb questions—if it's confusing to you, likely confusing for others.

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

Still not fully sure how Farcaster works behind the scenes.

What hubs do.
What the relationship is with Optimism (or whatever L2 Farcaster is doing stuff with).

And when I went to the site a few days ago I mostly saw videos instead of text to read or search through for relevant content.

Building getinboxzero.com and sharemint.xyz.

I also run a YouTube channel, "Learn from Open Source": youtube.com/elie2222

I signed up before optimism. So what happened there? Actually I think I used my metamask so I guess it just used that.

Does every user have to have a wallet to use FC?

I think your identity lives on optimism. Basically involving account creation and recovery. Hubs is where the data lives. Warpcast relays data living on the hub in a human readable format

Farcaster is a 3 part system:

1. Onchain — identity primitive (FID), whether you paid for access (storage)

2. Hubs — where all your content, follows and profile are stored; relies on onchain elements to verify that everything is valid

3. Apps — access data from Hubs to build a product that people can use
