Nostr Web Client

Anyone able to comment on the differences between nostr and farcaster? A friend of mine is looking to build and wants to know more before picking a protocol. I can sell nostr, but can't fud farcaster as effectively.

In a word: blockchain. It makes everything expensive where nostr is more affordable and can be used for free.

For example, users need to pay a yearly fee to store they data (for posting etc.).

Yet, nothing is really free.

Here’s about the storage units:

My impression was that the name registry was on ETH, while data is stored on redundant nodes with no blockchain. Which is actually a good trade-off, the main problem being that the storage is expected to store everything on the network, which is silly.

It might have more in common with ATProto than nostr since both have more top down data structure and architecture even though Farcaster is now permissionless (at least to join).
