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

@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.

Would probably start simple with some flat file storage. Long term we might have a way that each hub can produce the snapshot from its own data and share it in a p2p manner
