Farcaster

I used to think that bots on Farcaster were problematic because of spam, but it's bigger than that.

If I respond to a bot, I feel like an idiot who wasted his time building a connection with a ChatGPT wrapper. 

It makes me suspicious of new users, and I tend to respond primarily to people I already know. This means that it's harder for genuine new users to build relationships on the network.

It could be fine for social *media*, but it's bad for the social *network*. 

What would be the ways to mitigate that?

This is why we need to start implementing solutions such as OpenPassport (ex zkPassport) in web3 social apps.

Also looking forward to the stealth ZK EU ID solution being developed by @pmuens.eth 😎

Dang. I saw ads for this multiple times but didn’t pull the trigger.

Was it worth it?

+1. The fact that we could ship a social app and get first users in less than 12 hrs is amazing..

Yeah, Starbucks has a widely used PWA that works just fine:

Reflecting on the ETHWarsaw Hackathon where @macbudkowski @timdaub.eth and I built https://degenmeetsregen.com I can‘t overstate how bullish I’m on Web3 Social.

The "Login with Farcaster" integration was comically simple. No OAuth BS, no "Create an App and get whitelisted by us" crap.

Just a few LoC and we were up- and running.

Just published a writeup on how Stealth Addresses work from a Cryptographic / Mathematical PoV:

Just wrote an implementation of ECDSA over secp256k1 in pure TypeScript: https://github.com/pmuens/ecc-ts

It also comes with an integration for Ethers so you can use it as a Signer.

Of course, it's for educational purposes only and shouldn't be used in production.
