I want Farcaster to succeed as I think it is truly important for humanity to have a "global town square" based on a neutral protocol rather than a platform owned by a single company, or worse, a single person. Still, I keep switching my default behavior to post on Twitter, simply because I get ~10x more resonance on Tweets.

I assume (at least in the crypto-Twitter world) I am not the only one in this situation. So maybe some form of vampire attack could work. Try to get at least 1,000 people from CT with >1,000 followers to commit x$ to post exclusively on Farcaster for 1 month. As soon as the 1,000 people are reached, the agreement kicks in and everyone should only post here. Those who break the agreement get "slashed," and the slashed money is distributed among those actually following through.

WDYT?

It’s a compelling idea! Creating a strong initial user base with incentives could indeed spark Farcaster's growth. But will the monetary incentive be enough to overcome the network effects and engagement levels that Twitter currently offers? It’s definitely worth a shot to explore community-driven innovation.
