WTF… People are getting financially incentivized (via a promise of future airdrops) to link all their public identities, where they post different stuff -sometimes even geo location- with their crypto wallets. This is very irresponsible. I’m not against establishing Proof of Humanity mechanisms (in fact I’m in favor), I’m just sad they are doing it this way. For the first time, I’m seriously thinking about leaving Warpcast soon if this keeps going in that direction.

We're linking public identities together - your X profile, LinkedIn, Github and your public onchain wallets (e.g. the one which has your ENS, which is already deanonymized because most ENS's are recognizable). The reason this is important is that it helps link "good" users and developers. Right now, no one can build a useful app with an airdrop mechanic because the sybil attacks are prevalent. If we can make it easier for developers to find valuable users with a sybil resistant mechanic we will see more useful apps and less speculation in the ecosystem.

There are private identities which you shoudn't link to Farcaster. I don't think anyone who genuinely set out to create a private wallet feels like they are being tricked or forced into connecting it to use Farcaster.

I feel like both you and @ferran have good points here. PoH is good, and improves Farcaster. Account linking is also problematic for the reasons stated. What I'd like to see as a web3 user is an alternative to account linking for users like me who can provide zk proofs with tools like @holonym I should at least be able to use my holo for phone number verification, and preferably bypass verification altogether with a strong proof like Gov lD validation. My Gitcoin passport score is like 70. Why should I have to re-verify in Warpcast when the app can just check my onchain identity?

@rathermercurial.eth you nailed it. The tech and solutions exist to solve this in a different way, it’s a decision of what to prioritize.
