what if you could get an fid for free and with no storage units you can have user data and some small number of links/casts/reactions

it would be quite expensive to register 10B fids onchain

i don't think there's an inherent problem with creating 100k accounts on an open network. with a federated model you don't have to worry about storing all their data, which is why i like that idea but i understand that it increases complexity

i would maybe look into adding some protocol level signal that someone cares about what an account has to say to make it a bit harder to spam. kind of like a social PoW - perhaps require vouching from a trusted user. i get that this potentially makes onboarding harder

i think it's a problem worth taking another look at (not saying it's easy)

We had gas only FIDs and people spammed 100K+ accounts in a matter of days.

How do you stop someone from creating 10B accounts?

i like this. paying members can subsidize new users to at least try out the network before they too have to pay
