ironically leaving farcon more bearish on farcaster.

the protocol wants to compete and win at the client level.

clients want to win and avoid being dependent on the protocol.

all roads lead to winner take all.

what’s the point?

1/ How will Farcaster succeed if apps have to compete with Warpcast?

If there are enough daily active users of the protocol and the underlying data and APIs are actually permissionless, people will build new and interesting apps.

This has been the plan since the beginning (channels being a new thing along the way).

say you're able to grow qDAU and successfully empower other clients (hypothetically).

another client (a non twitter clone) achieves escape velocity user growth, far exceeding any other on the protocol.

why wouldn't they fork farcaster? they could presumably achieve consensus of the new thing with enough scale.

This growth & fork you’re describing actually sounds like a win for Farcaster. Someone who has successfully used FC to build a unique product vision with enough DAU is likely to do just that. 

People building on Farcaster will continue its growth by making it easier for more successes like that to happen.

The timing would happen when that client could feel confident it’s captured every feature and product needed to self-sustain off that fork and keep growing independently. 

Till then, the client would look for the protocol for help with those features, which encourages more building on the protocol.
