Farcaster

What good is pro without any reach or followers?  Serious question. 

How to get reach here?  I still don’t get this app. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

If I don't have Pro am I going to miss out?

1. It's optional. Your reach, visibility and rewards are unaffected.

2. That said, we can't control if other people / developers / projects want to build features that target pro subscribers.

3. It will likely be a mix — plenty of opportunities for any account and other opportunities for pro accounts.

Farcaster Pro is an important step forward in making the protocol sustainable.

Raising a bunch of money from investors and spending it is not sustainable. It’s a tactic not a strategy.

If the protocol can charge a fee that people are willing to pay annually, then it will have budget to spend on what is important to the protocol—independent of any one company.

We’re starting with a pragmatic, optimized for speed approach today where we are centrally collecting, deciding (via an algo) and distributing rewards.

In the next few weeks, subscribing to pro will be onchain and permissionless. 

In the longer term, ideally we can figure out how move rewards to something more akin Bitcoin or Ethereum block rewards where funds are collected and distributed entirely at the protocol. We’re not close to this and not a near term priority, but it’s where we would like to get to. 

(Solve the problems in the correct sequence.)

Can I still subscribe to Farcaster Pro?

Yes. Farcaster Pro is bound to your account (FID) and will give you additional features for your account over time.

Again, the first 10,000 subscriptions included a limited edition NFT. 
But all future features we're working on will go to all Pro subscribers. It won't matter if you have the NFT or not.

It's optional, does not increase your reach, visibility or rewards.

Farcaster Pro subscription and NFT update

1. The first 10,000 subscriptions that include NFTs are now sold out.

2. We will publish the canonical data set of the first 10,000 subscribers tomorrow as a CSV for data analysis. This will be onchain and in protocol in the next few weeks. At that point, pro subscriptions will be permissionless, i.e. not require the Farcaster app

3. We're going to send a notification in-app tomorrow with a subscriber #. If you number is between 1 and 10,000, you'll be eligible for the NFT.

4. There are no refunds. No exceptions. This includes people who sign up after 10,000 (and ignore the warning about NFTs being sold out).

5. The NFT will be airdropped soon. We've been working with @miguelgarest.eth on the limited edition NFT. The NFT will will be airdropped to your primary wallet.

Sobriety is attractive.  Realest. Not optimist or pessimist.  The glass is full. It has oxygen and water.  The basic essentials of life. Karma is real
