Woke up to more notifications than i've ever seen before on farcaster, so i'm going to do two quick things: 1. A lot of questions were on the same topics, so i'm going to just list the questions and answers here. 2. Let's use this thread as an AMA also.

Truly appreciate all the feedback, positive and negative. We worked aggressively to catch sybil rings and spammers, and while some fell through the cracks, if it weren't for the sleuthing and reported accounts seen via @mvr's frame, we couldn't have done as well as we did to combat the majority of it (quite literally, we found ~1,500,000 accounts through the iterations). What comes next for Hypersnap: 1. minor version bump for compatibility with upcoming snapchain release 2. "the big one" kicking off epochs for validators - this will begin node runner and developer rewards 3. https://hypria.xyz will be updated to provide instructions on validator onboarding and introduce the developer leaderboard. 🫰🫰

Decentralization requires open participation. You cannot even begin to act like decentralization is federating one other team and calling it a day. You played absolute back and forth games with Q team, rapidly switching to "we'll add your node", "we won't add your node", over and over, while trying to make it seem from public replies that I am somehow confused, and have no reason to be upset. You told me today now to just go ahead and fork. I will. And by your actions, you've forced us to a do a hard fork. Receipts below.

Hey folks, I get there's a lot of different things happening all at once (not to mention eth denver!), so let's talk about it. This Sunday, at 3pm PST/6pm EST/11pm UTC, we're going to host a space on Twitter to hash out the upcoming fork, what it means, why it's happening, when it's happening, and how to get involved. Farcaster is what it is because of us, so the more, the better! https://x.com/i/spaces/1yGBeMMVEAoKN?s=20

Open question of governance in crypto – Generally, there exists three different kinds of actors in the space: protocol nodes, clients and apps, and users. Sometimes people fall into all three categories, but you can see a strong example of the distinction in projects like ethereum, farcaster, and solana. When it comes to governance, approaches like QV or direct token = vote creates problematic dynamics with sybiling, but trying to resolve those creates a separate problem of not having enough skin in the game. Has anyone tried tricameral governance in crypto? e.g. node operators as a "senate", app developers as a "house", and users as a third institution like the other two (with passage of proposals/changes required to be accepted by all three units without further amendment)
