Should Farcaster add a "staking" verification system?  Please reply! 

Users can get "verified" badge by staking $10 USDC in a contract. The stake can be reclaimed at any time, but will only release after a delay (maybe 4-8 weeks). 

Verified users will get the following benefits: 

- Badge on profile. 
- Access to video uploads.
- Show up higher in conversations. 
- A small boost in the rewards program. 

The goal is to make it harder for spammers to verify so that good humans on Farcaster have a better experience!

Is the idea that spammers wouldn’t bother to stake? I think it’s likely they would.

If they paid $$ to join this is no different and yes I agree it wont stop them it makes it harder for us who are getting lost in the noise and most of us are ready to leave again

So how do we make this feel like music?  Like a concert hall?

When one is lost on the music is a beautiful thing. It means vibes, flow and beautiful motion  

Lost in the noise is when everyone is “talking” at once and even talking to a friend you feel like you have to yell and scream.

"Lost in the noise..."
To get lost in sound.
I have been lost in sound
With tears in my eyes.
This lost in sound, however
Seems to be something different.
Not the same... 
Yet
Not completely different

Noise 
And 
Music

What separates them?
What makes one beautiful?
And the other disgusting?
