 I was introduced by a friend to a crypto guy building on Farcaster with the request to brief him on nostr. In the course of explaining nostr, I learned about Farcaster. The number of points of centralization among the Rube Goldberg-esque machine that it is surprised even me. 

We are so gonna win.

 to me the namespace seems the toughest thing to find a credible path for decentralizing over time. was that core to your centralization concerns or were there other large categories of problems?

I’m not well-versed on the FarCaster architecture, fwiw, just a long-time casual observer of the project

 It was more the long list of dependencies/plugins/etc. and the companies behind them.

 It fascinates me how all it takes for shitcoiners and their followers is hiding behind sophistication.

Even “reformed” shitcoiners in bitcoin do this.

Dont fall for smoke and mirrors. Don’t trust verify.

 As the saying goes, “in mystery, there is margin.” They create or seek the mystery, so they can extract the margin.
