With Snapchain live, we're starting to think about what's next. Growth is our top priority the and most obvious roadblock is the "Pay $3" screen when signing up.

Step 1 is to make it a lot cheaper. Thanks to Snapchain, our capacity is much higher and we can lower fees. We have a new FIP out (storage redenomination) that will lower fees to ~ 20c onchain. https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/229

Why not add a guest mode? Let people sign up without paying, check out some posts, follow a few accounts, and even try posting once, it’s an easy way to let them get a feel for the network before deciding to pay @dwr.eth @ted

As far as I know, technically is 2$ + on-chain fees that are usually below 5 cents, but the FIP is solid(already shared feedback a week ago), reducing 10x to 20 cents seems a good step forward. Probably some minor thinking about reactions/casts final numbers, also 200 actions per day bandwidth, IMO too low 2k was too high but 500 seems the best. Many social media have a dynamic bandwidth and 150-200 actions is the minimum per the most spammy user, quality users get more than 500+. Since the protocol can't discriminate between users, 500 seems like a solid base and could be lowered any time later, if the data indicates that it needs lowering.

I was chatting with @skrovina today on what would make her use farcaster more and she said that she doesn't understand 80% of what's being talked about on the feed I gave her some suggestions but I do think its hard to find content that's not crypto-related on farcaster. It does exist but it's not easily discoverable or surfaced to users who aren't really interested in crypto industry topics/discussions maybe some interest tagging or something like that would help new users find content and other users that are interested in the same things

hell yeah. storage delegation is a very promising solution I can think of other ways but this is likely the most scalable. lfg

I would “sponsor” a random person - that would be kinda fun. Could be a cool miniapp. They would immediately become my FC friend too. Win win

It doesn’t matter if the fee is $3 or 1 cent, if users have to on-ramp to crypto you’re going to lose normies. Have you considered allowing for payment with Apple/Google Pay? (Maybe you off this but it’s been a while since I onboarded).
