artlu lying for engagement farming as usual. users are in control of their farcaster wallets and have access to the seed prhase. 

if we were unable to support a user because of a region issue, we give them the ability to export their seed phrase. 

during the initial (beta) wallet launch there was a brief period where seed phrase export was still being built, and users had to wait a few days to get access to funds.

Okay so, where is my seed phrase?  

I didn’t know we can export our farcaster wallets… can anyone help me with this?

I assume as it’s V who’s saying this, it is true. I just never knew I could.  I could be the only one.  But I always had a dose of concern with the fact that we can’t (so I had originally understood) export wallets/have seed phrases.

Note: I’m speaking of the artist formally known as warplet wallet; not that proprietary wallet that came along when you created a farcaster wallet.

Thanks! I decided to fiddle around after I saw the cast, because I figured it’s gotta be somewhere.  I was expecting it to be in the wallet settings.  Don’t ask me why.

Please be extra careful when exporting your Farcaster wallet private key. Have had 2 users message me today that it was compromised after storing outside of Farcaster and funds were drained :(

here is what I don't get though

you can export it, but you have to be super careful doing that. 👇 

other wallets allow you just to view the seed phrase for the wallet, but here when you export it it is like a copy/paste on your computer or phone

🎩 first, but I like being part of this experiment that is Farcaster 🌶️

it works well, it is a privy integration.

i just want to be able to see the words tho, not have them cut and paste as part of the export function.

every other wallet is like that.

But.. why did that lead them to wallets being drained and accounts being compromised?  Everything looks good my end so far.

Thanks! I just found it about 10 seconds before I saw this reply!

I figure I didn’t see it because I am pretty sure I checked before it became available.
