A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

reply guys

This has to be stopped. Is there a way we can prevent two fc accounts to use the same pfp? 

@dwr.eth  can something be done about this? I have a feeling that these case counts are about to rise…

Also, report this mfer pls.

This wouldn't be nice actually, for example:

This photo of a moment is very popular and lots of people use it as their pfp.

And besides this it would be too easy to bypass just by downloading the file, which makes different file and it's not the same anymore.

If we would try to stop them by checking amount of pixels in the same position and/or RGB (like 80% match) then we would make NFTs from PFPs, and it would be a lot harder to find something beautiful on Pinterest :D

I was thinking about pixel's position like #1 pixel has RGB #FF0000, pixel #2 has #011000 and so on. Maybe that's the way AI compares pixtures :d

I'm not sure that ai uses right button to copy pictures, maybe it's just downloading it, for example site for downloading YouTube videos for free, where you have to input the link of the video to download it.

But even if Warpcast's developers would try to prevent bots from copying pictures, there would be a small percentage that bots' owners would try to find ways to copy it and Warpcast's developers to prevent them from doing it. everyone would try to improve their software and it could be compared to an arms race IRL :d

oh, about ai
if they would use AI to prevent bots from copying, then, as I said before, some pictures would become NFTs (for example that picture of killua) and it wouldn't be good in the end :d

Do you think we cannot make ia differentiate between an actual pic and other stuff? because i know some ia can actually do this!

What’s your suggestion? got me thinking
it was easier when we couldn’t zoom in the pfp, but if zoomed they could at least disable right mouse button, which would obligate to screenshot but at least it would be one extra layer?

not sure i understood but 
are you proposing we check pixel position?
