What is the most frustrating thing about Farcaster right now? Reply and like the replies from others that resonate. I’ll only ask clarifying questions (ie I won’t tell you you’re wrong) and then respond to a dozen or so top answers in a video this weekend with how we think about it.

The fact that users have to pay just to create an account, there’s no “free trial” I know you guys are working on driving down the cost but it’s still unclear what the incentive is for non-WC apps to use FC for identity given that it adds friction and the value ultimately accrues to Merkle

Is “free trial” a full read / write account from your pov? Or is free but read only sufficient?

I think it would be nice if they could have a little bit of storage to “try things out” but even read only would be huge since it would allow other apps to grow the identity graph

Let's assume it's free to create an account — what incentive does an app have to grow the identity graph? Assume they use Sign in with Ethereum and enrich their user onboarding with Farcaster data permissionlessly (like Zora or Rodeo). Why add the additional complexity vs. work on a feature that can drive additional growth?

Because SIWE requires users to have an existing wallet If I'm building a social app I don't want to only build for existing crypto users but right now it doesn't make sense to choose FC exclusively for accounts (even if you're bought into the "one social graph" vision) because that limits you to existing FC users https://warpcast.com/robin/0x7bcc9e6b

Assume the app developer uses something like Privy to solve for the wallet part—so the user of the other app now has a wallet. Why add onboarding to Farcaster? What incentive for the other app?

if we buy into FC as source of truth social graph, we can set-and-forget and focus on other features, become a pure client, etc. privy auth + one-time FC import requires maintenance. e.g. if i follow a new moshicam user on WC, it does not get reflected on moshicam, so we need to re-sync every user's social graph periodically and have it reflected in our app. imagine this for tens of thousands of users happy state for new app user: - with existing FC account: automatically sync your graph - with new FC account: onboard you into FC i would go one step further and say that it's *more work* to have our own internal graph and sync with various external networks

What price does that become feasible for you?
