Warpcast

Come build the most secure and private messaging network in the world—owned by the people who build it and use it.

I root for the Warpcast team. But I would appreciate an updated explanation why @xmtp is not our default IM/GC protocol (with all the nice things a deep integration with Farcaster could add).

Honest question, and I know very little about the XMTP design, so the answer may be very simple and I'm just missing it.

Dad, geek, conversation liquidity provider. vrypan.net (home), /weatherxm (work), @l--o--l (fun). Also https://paragraph.xyz/@purplesubmarine

For example, why doesn't @converseapp support sign-in with Farcaster? Is it a protocol design limitation? What would it take?

On the other hand, I could also ask why xmtp does not provide better integration with Farcaster. For example a way to use XMTP with my Farcaster custody wallet (can I?). Or populate my contacts and filter conversations using my Farcaster social graph.

Decentralized IM and GC, with a wider reach than FC. Also a dedicated team working on what currently is just a Warpcast feature, with some (limited afaik, my be wrong) REST APIs.

What problem does it solve for us right now?
