A new revision of the Snapchain paper is now out. It might be one of the most important improvements we've made to the Farcaster experience. - Message delays will be fixed - Adding apps will cost nothing - Removing apps won't delete data https://warpcast.notion.site/Snapchain-v2-Public-10e6a6c0c101807aadfacbcddda8ce4f

Exciting! Voters & validators will be purely a public service? I’m also curious about the twitter comparison near the start. Based on the numbers, twitter has 500 bytes of state growth per user per day, while Farcaster’s is 20k. Why such a big difference?

@v, this has matured impressively from iteration to iteration. Nice! What are the thoughts about the snapshot service? Would you consider using ipfs? A nice benefit of using ipfs is that the snapshot CID can be used as the snapshot hash. Anyone can pin snapshots, and preserve pins for as long as they like. So, I can fetch a snapshot just by using the information in the block, no other dependency like access to a specific server, dns, etc.

>removing apps won’t delete data 🤔 So “delete account” won’t actually remove data from the hub anymore after this update?

Why can't the consensus system be hosted onchain, and generate onchain events that are consumed by the network?

The consensus mechanism is very very interesting. > Users would simply stop using Farcaster if it was clear that the network was censoring people. i definitely believe that farcaster will not censor anything but people were highly critical of web2 social platforms but kept using them most likely because of the network effects. Farcaster's strongest moat is its open follow graph and it might be huge risk if that can be censored.

It's excited to see "removing apps won't delete data". I was worried removing the signer might delete the casts sent through it.
