trying to understand the different signer/auth types if i add gregskril.eth as an auth address to my farcaster account and have the gregskril.eth private key in coinbase wallet, will coinbase be able to read my dc's out of the box or will i have to explicitly opt-in? also are encrypted, decentralized DCs still on the 2025 roadmap or no longer important?

Maybe @xmtp wasn't ready when you first wanted to deploy direct casts, but it seems like it is now. There already exists a unified DM network in web3 that has significantly better security/privacy guarantees than what Warpcast DCs can provide.

could the auth flow and signature be done on warpcast and then only relay the secret token to the client (since the DC server is centralized anyway)? relying on the user importing their custody address seed phrase to a new client will be a challenge (if I understood the flow correctly).

This is a bad idea to take on right now. Would shelf this entire idea in favor of other priorities. Full stop. But wait there’s more. Who is ‘Farcaster’ that is operating the server? gc & smh all at the same time. Protocols are rules not organizations. Conflating these leads one to think like a business instead of a headless public good. More gatekeeping‽ really Keep it as wc direct and group casts. Open that if you want but keep it out of Farcaster protocol if it’s not on a node, permissionless & independently verifiable. An idea- Work on creating more flexible app specific context-containers that are ai ready.
