@slokh was saying at /latenightcrew that you could decouple fid sign-ups from storage (being able to cast). That this would allow sign-ups to be free, if an fid was all that the user wanted, since storage is what costs $

Idea being that apps that have nothing to do with casting could onboard users to FC for free. So FC could much faster "proliferate" as an identity layer, at least, while the network layer catches up.

What value is there in an FID with no social graph or activity?

Would enable storing messages off hubs and allow anyone to permissionlessly bring them onto hubs by sponsoring storage

would require a third party that holds a signer for the user to be online to sign the messages so limits storage options

Register the account when you're ready and broadcast all of the old messages? It's effectively the same thing.
