Ok crazy idea but hear me out: Make Farcaster compatible with atproto, become the first full alternate AppView to BlueSky with sovereign identity on ENS and built in payments and mini apps.

i think we would get instant organ rejection from atproto community :) they are very anti-ai and anti-crypto

You'd be surprised! I mean you're right about the sentiment but I think a bit part of it is meeting people where they are. The biggest criticism of BlueSky from its users is lack of a credible alternate AppView. It's a hefty piece of infra and if BlueSky disappears it's unlikely that the network will continue to operate. MM might be well positioned to take a counterposition here (with x5 more funding no less). If it's compatible, messages would federate and there's no risk in trying out all of the special perks you get from using the Farcaster AppView ecosystem (ENS, payments, miniapps, etc). Positioning would need to be nuanced but I think we're getting to a very compelling offering here even for non crypto natives.

disagree. I attended ATmosphereConf last weekend. About 1/3 of the devs expressed crypto support in general or crypto rails for payment. But more importantly, the protocol is all open, so you don't need permission. And if you bring an audience, I but you could expand it to more crypto natives -- especially those that aren't Ethereum maxis, who won't come here.
