Since I did work a bit with SWIF, and I added it to my wallet which is available on ethereum.org, wallet connect, and alchemy, and was always open source for a few years, I did come up with some thoughts for the Farcaster Connect FIP.
IMO will be good to open that up and rebranding is essential for that, the scheme with so many steps does not seem like a good UX choice IMO.
But I wrote more thoughts here:

Left some thoughts for frames v2, overall looks like a sound update.
The timeline seems a bit ambitious, I suspect some work was done in advance already in the past 2-3 weeks, and that's why it's so ambitious.

Wrote a super tiny logger lib for slack logging `slack-logger-light` with an example of integrating it with @tsed/logger, I know there are already a lot of such libs but this one has 0 deps. And might be the best in certain scenarios. https://bit.ly/4fUFewg
Looked at it, and the biggest breaking change seems to be publishing the app metadata on-chain that's used in authentification.
I didn't look deeper if this kills Momoka, but I suspect it makes sense for all posts to be in a single place not like before on-chain and on a data availability layer.
The spam will be countered with daily limits of probably 200 like before, it's refreshing to see not an aggressive focus on increasing DAUs, protocols don't care about DAUs, only capital mainly cares about DAUs, you can have the greatest protocol with only one user, it makes no difference as long as you don't want to enrich yourself.
Also, an important concept is bringing your own feed, this is crucial to new social media and it's hard to believe decentralized social media will succeed with obtuse centralized feed algorithms.

I also have 3 FIDs in the same picture, so I have both your 3 FIDs and my 3 FIDs in the same picture, but I actually have 4 FIDs 1 is not displayed too new, I mean if you count the microsub there you have 4 FIDs in the pic :|.
We're multi-FIDed persons.

Great opportunity to look at some /dune /neynar data.
Here are some insights:
19 days ago I looked at two metrics:
1) total number of active fids in 24h
2) total number of massive spammers (more than 1k casts per day)
19 days ago:
Number of active fids: ~16-17k
Number of massive spammers 13
Today:
Number of active fids: ~13k
Number of massive spammers: 7
An active caster in the query is someone who did at least 2 casts, obviously in this number automated accounts also are included.
What we are missing in data is a way to find how many authorized active fids are, meaning subtracting from 13k people those that have casted using the protocol in channels where they didn't have a membership, logic tells us that this will further decrease the 13k number.
So this is a very long way of saying that, there's less activity than before.
Whether that is good or not, depends totally on the preferences of users.

This week I released Clear Wallet 1.4.7:
Some changes:
- New nicer UI and other UI changes
- Improved SIWF/SIWW ( Warpcast API, has become slow, the auth token when generated too fast takes a while to become active on WC backend, added a cache + some wait and retry logic to improve login)
- Added Network from
- Updated all deps
- Migrated to bun from yarn pkg manager
- Tweaked memory cache
- Added network(Rootstock Network) template PR from @ahsan-javaiid
And other minor things.

There are a few out-of-the-box Linux solutions packed with everything, like Modoboa, mailcow, iRedMail, etc.
The issue is that IP reputation is super important in the Email world, it will be very difficult to build that reputation otherwise 60/100 of emails will end up in spam. I did host some mail servers for a national institution years ago, and delivery was OKish but yeah you need a static IP with reverse with a high authority domain(preferably with gov status), DKIM, DMARC, SPF, whitelists and at least 1 year of good behavior.
IMO if is a small firm and is not some institution with critical privacy requirements just use an online provider, Google, or Microsoft, if you want cheaper, Zoho or Yandex.
All have mail suites.

Has anyone tried plain `transfer` of fid on idRegsitry?
It seems that is disabled, it gives `invalid signature` even if you follow the docs.
On OP Explorer there's only `transferFor` executed recently(like 2+ months), I did try `transferFor` and it works, I made a simple repo for anybody who wants to try that https://github.com/andrei0x309/fc-fid-transfer-example
I think you should revise the docs a bit and put some links to repos with working examples there are small issues in many examples that less experienced people will find hard to pass.

Nope, not real. BTW the picture is old.
It's just a resized image displayed on the watch, here is a source from 5 years ago.

There are /no-channels I mean somebody broke the explore channel API and doesn't return anything anymore ATM.
I don't have member on /warpcast so I can't report it there.

In many ways, debt is already passed down from generation to generation, not only in the US but almost everywhere.
USA is a big factor in why this is happening, as a maintainer of the current imperialist system it will actually intervene militarily when its capitalist interests are threatened.
Nullifying/forgiving debt is something that is seen as a threat alongside other national monetary policies that smaller countries may enact.
This will remain the reality until the Empire is on its way out like all Empires before, I just hope this Empire will not drag the whole planet under the bus by not accepting its downfall.

Casting this here in case someone wants to use Airstack to validate frames inside a constrained space like Cloudflare workers made today a small open-source npm package for that.

It’s great that Cloudflare is helping people to self-host Next.js contributing to open source pkg to self-host Next.
I know Next.js is pretty used out there and self-hosting can cut costs dramatically in some cases.
They are probably doing this also as a Vercel competitor but that's a different story.

Want to be able to verify farcaster frames with /airstack inside web workers and serverless functions?
You can use this pkg I made: https://www.npmjs.com/package/airstack-frame-verify-web-light is ~7kb vs SDK which is ~5MB. Is perfect for constrained environments.

The issue is that Warpcast does not use real deep links instead it uses web links ( those that are tied to the Warpcast domain).
As such you can't capture the link on mobile without some root-level permissions which 99.9% of people won't have.
This is an issue of centralization these links should have been something like farcaster:// or fc:// to enable multiple apps to respond to them, and not have them tied to a web2 domain.

@cameron just added the join link tho this channel, alowing me and other to join, great to see we keep this /no-channel experiment open.
LOL I've not been included in /fc-devs even though I had main posts there.
IMO my advice for people that have posted in a channel, and we're not included to unfollow that channel, there's no reason to follow it if you posted before and you're not included.

I always used open static tunnels to make it easier to develop stuff, but in 2024 I got scanned much more than in previous years, either vulnerability scanning bots have multiplied or my tunnels were added to some scanning lists, I tend to believe it's the former.
