#opensourcewarpcast if it's not open source, how can it be decentralized at all?

what's the point of making WC open source? if the assumption is that it would lead to another client gaining significant marketshare I'm sorry to say that the exact opposite would likely happen.

It’s not about cloning Warpcast to make another client (although I am sure that open sourcing WC would lead to TONS of shitty client 😂) Having example code that is best-in-class solutions to problems one would face while writing for FC protocol is a huge unlock even if you aren’t trying to clone Warpcast.

for me it would be more about being able to open PR's and fix stuff that really grinds my gears. Also I think it would easily provide an avenue to just run your own client with those modifications if they dont get upstreamed for reasons idk, i just think it would be a more open playing field for both builders and users.

what's something that you would fix if warpcast was open source? we're not philosophically opposed to it, im just skeptical that its the most important thing for us to do right now because its a non trivial amount of work to maintain the repo as open source, respond to prs and do all the things that a good open source project should.

warpcast is also very expensive to run, so i suspect most people would prefer running something like herocast if they are self hosting.
