What would you do/think differently if you knew fids were going to become the universal identity onchain and eventually the entire Internet?

Farcaster Devs

I wish we could create FIDs without paying for storage. It would make it much cheaper to onboard new users in "readonly" experiences and take advantage of the FC Identity layer across other use-case.

Farcaster FIDs are DIDs just waiting for a developer to wrap them in a W3C-style interface. I'd put them in the "cool stuff" category.

Nothing, I have been thinking this since I joined Farcaster.

Why not use the Ethereum wallet address directly with did-pkh?

For long-lived identifiers such like Farcaster IDs, it's important that it have the ability to update the key pairs that secure its use. Also important is that it supports recovery if the private keys are lost.
did-pkh has neither.

Another valuable feature of FIDs is the ability to add/delegate additional signers.
