Imo, it’s not the same. On Warpcast, the key difference is that it acts as an aggregator across multiple wallets and the important part here is that encourages a specific behavior (linking as many socials and wallets as possible) with the promise of financial incentives (increase your future airdrops opportunity surface and increased visibility). ENS never told me that I would miss some money or my domain will work worse if I don't connect my socials. That said, I still don’t like the ENS feature. That’s why I haven’t added any of my socials to my ENS. And is for the same reason, I wouldn’t walk around with a note on my chest showing the exact amount of my holdings in the bank.

Yep, Uniswap LP NFTs are ERC721. And they can be used on Votecaster to run polls :D

Thanks for the kind words you both, glad to see more people with similar views! I have to say, every time I share my -pretty opinionated- takes, I feel that in Farcaster there is always the possibility of debating with others in a really civilized way. Another thing I really appreciate as well is that @dwr.eth and @v have a strong vision, but they also build partially in the open, and they’re always open to discussing and iterating with the community. That's great.

This shit should be the most cringe in crypto. The great promise of crypto was decentralizing value from any single authority. These measures actually turn it into a digital prison system

If you’ve sometimes thought “does Web3 even matter in the real world?” this episode of @tbsocialist is for you! We chatted with Josh about @vocdoni, why decentralized governance actually matters (especially with democracies falling apart), and some of the things we’ve been working on with all sorts of Real World™ orgs.

@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.

I get why you’re doing it, and I know how much Farcaster/Warpcast needs this kind of verification. But I don’t agree with how you’re approaching it. There are other ways to solve this technically. If someone gets stabbed because someone figured out they have an EOA with $75k and they post on LinkedIn that they’re out at a restaurant (because they linked all their accounts to max out airdrop rewards in a platform built by Merkle that made all that info easily accessible and visible) then yeah, I think Merkle holds some responsibility. Ethically for sure, and maybe even legally in some places depending on how you read the case. Especially taking into account that you can even scrap all this info and make an index of the most succulent users (holding amount + bigger surface of leaks about their personal life). People has to get informed of these risks, they’re quite relevant.

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.

I didn’t know, but really happy to see more client diversity. And seems something I may like. Looking forward to try it out.

This is very true - the problem is these kind of things don't -generally- attract long-term, high quality participants... web3 incentive systems are prone to end up attracting very low quality users... “Machines and systems that could increase efficiency were worth their weight in gold, but people who could design, run, and improve such systems were worth their weight in platinum.” The Hypomanic Edge: The Link Between (A Little) Craziness and (A Lot of) Success in America by John D.

That’s good to hear. Looking forward to onboard more friends and family as soon as Warpcast enters the phase focused on mass adoption.
