Well that’s one approach to build it, if he fails it’ll strengthen nostr right, if he succeeds - we’ll have to learn and adapt it to nostr,
we win in all cases, why be negative with people and other founders especially over fucking email registration?
look at how many users he’s got in the past month and how many nostr got
look at how many bots are on nostr vs farcaster
look at how many projects launched in a month on farcaster vs nostr
people aren’t ready to go fully decentralized yet and they aren’t ready to switch to something that isn’t at least matching the UX of current mass market platforms
being a designer myself, it’s very easy to beat UX of facebook or instagram, if we just copy it and remove ads - it’ll get people to switch already, we can already zap people too - that’d be a game changer
farcaster gives you an option to buy its token with credit card, now imagine if you want to top up sats - what’s that process gonna look like if you don’t own any bitcoin which most people don’t?
I’m being negative?
I woke up to see that someone tried to register an account under my email that was scraped from a database hack on a social network for ETH addicts.
I reacted as one might expect by trying to find out if others had gotten similar messages and I saw a lot of people had.
The CEO responded me on Twitter after I pointed out the differences between how their centralized email registration compares to creating an npub, and I believe I was being more than generous with him in my responses.
But then that shitcoining ass-clown fucker blocked me. 😆
That means that you won. Take the victory lap
I’m a skimmer and all I saw was:
“I’m being negative?
That shitcoining ass-clown fuc*er.”
😂
Didn’t know about the hack sorry. Your email could’ve been scrapped from anywhere on web2 as well no?
There’s a risk with every piece of personal information put online.
But still there is a place for a client that asks for an email to increase adoption.
No one outside nostr has any clue what npub means and I don’t think that’s an advantage.
Private keys also being shared between any clients makes it a lot more riskier than having one place like a vault like wallet to sign you in for every nostr app using it or some form of abstraction to not be giving out full access to your profile for every client etc.
Forcing people to use an email address to register for “decentralized” service is fucking dumb and I will die on this hill.
Are they claiming warpcast is decentralized? They’re not and it isn’t
