This is great intro to farcaster name space. Questions: Is the choice to have separate name spaces driven by previous examples of speculation? i.e. ENS Would you consider using DIDs for the primary ID? e.g. to enable private credentialing, multi platform interop, binding multiple IDs May add more questions later

1. there are a few reasons - our simple namespace is easy to type, prevents homoglyph attacks and lets us have a more fair distribution 2. it should be easy to wrap our identity system inside a did if that is useful to people

humpty
@humpty.eth
What’s the case for owning and defending a secondary ID? For example, I’ve picked humpty. What case would someone make, or fc, for taking it? And how could I defend against it being taken? i.e. it’s my name.

The primary case for revoking would be if you are not using it at all (inactive account) or impersonating someone
