80,000 sign ups for the Farcaster waitlist. Averaging roughly 1,000 an hour.

100% with an Ethereum address. 80% with Twitter account. 60% with >0 ETH balance.

Curious how many think there will be a token to be earned.

I'd bet it's 80+% airdrop farmers. We're much less well known than FC, are even less likely to ever have a token and still if we don't put in anti spam measures get many thousands of spam submissions.

Yeah…I got 20k registrations for Narval’s waitlist.
Although FC having 60% with >0 eth addresses at least is less obviously spam, right?

For normal forms I'd say yes but these airdrop farmers seem to have lots of wallets with dust for this purpose. We saw it when we first launched before March 2022 and collected wallet addresses. We ended up blocking some countries which feels bad, but was the easiest solution.
