Nostr Web Client

I'm checking it out so you don't have to. Immediate red flags. It asks for an email as well as a phone number. But you can bypass giving up phone number if you pay the gas fees. Guessing this is some L2 ETH dApp?

I just used a disposable email and paid the fee. Time to spam them about #Bitcoin until I'm banned.

Yea... Gross. #Farcaster is 100% a Eth fest 🤢

I dont even see any other "crypto" discussed here lol.

And look I see balajis is listed with a damn ".eth" name smh.

They also do in fact seem to be using their own shitcoin called "warps" to tip people.

And gross is uses Coinbase to buy. This is some VC "decentralized" social media lmao

So many privacy red flags. This pales in comparison to what #Nostr offers.

I can't find any "onchain" data about my "casts" [what they call posts]

Seems it was inspired by Scuttlebutt and lives on top of Ethereum network. https://www.varunsrinivasan.com/2022/01/11/sufficient-decentralization-for-social-networks

Ewww gross #Farcaster gets worse! Not only do you NEED to use their proprietary Warpcaster app to create an account because no other wallet apps are available: https://worldcoin.org/blog/announcements/worldcoin-completes-migration-op-mainnet

They use the Optimism L2 mainnet: https://docs.farcaster.xyz/learn/architecture/contracts

Guess what else transitioned to this? Worldcoin. https://worldcoin.org/blog/announcements/worldcoin-completes-migration-op-mainnet

I still can't find my account's "address" or any onchain data that proves decentralization...
