I think we need to go back to allow fid + user registration without paying for storage. IMO the identity piece is the most interesting part about FC and that should be as accessible as possible. Most FC-adjacent apps won't actually need the rest of the stuff (casts, reactions, etc) Simplifies it for app backends as well: 1. They can immediately onboard users to FC as their identity system (just pay for gas) 2. Use the protocol without broadcasting messages 3. If the user wants to reach the rest of the network, user/app can pay storage and immediately broadcast those messages The part to figure out is the reason it went away in the first place - spam registrations. This is solvable though.

But without the context of social interactions how is this better than SIWE?

Goal is conversion into a paid FC user, this makes it much easier to convert for everyone involved (users + devs) since the identity already exists. Other apps will know this FID exists and can pre-empt follows, etc since that identifier wont ever change

Yeah I get that but I don’t see how FIDs are useful if they can’t post any messages? What’s the point for the user to sign up if they can’t do anything?

You don't need to post messages to make use of the identity, see events.xyz, nook.social, etc. There will likely be more apps like this, and ones that people discover before Warpcast.
