when the neynar score screening you set up to keep out very few people ends up keeping out almost everyone 😧

Neynar

Have to apologize in advance for bringing this up again. Boz at facebook used to talk about how "communication is the job" and I feel like the learning only gets more pronounced over time. 

Thus, PSA for all Neynar developers - *start with a low score threshold* 
unless you actually want a very small cohort of users to use your product. 

Someone with a 0.77 score contacted me yesterday and they were prevented from taking an action. As mentioned in the linked cast below, 0.7+ is top 3% of accounts on the network. It's already ~27k accounts (of 800k+ accounts) at that threshold. It's not that many users.

It might feel like your product only needs users with scores 0.9+ but that artificially restricts to ~2500 users! It's likely not what you want. Start with a low threshold and increase as needed.

If this confusion remains, we might have to change the shape of this product. Maybe next week.

what contract are you planning to use it with?

no! it was a pure code issue that i tested improperly

you've done a good job with this

(except i wish all scores were uploaded to the contract, not just above 0.7)
