Until the signer architecture is improved, I’ll only use Warpcast as my write-enabled Farcaster client.

I never want to worry about accidentally revoking a signer and breaking all the discussions I’m in once those casts inevitably get dropped by the network.

Can devs DO something?

i did. from what i understand they are still there but hubs only index casts that are signed. removing the signature drops them from being available.

Oh shit, that seems like a design flaw worth addressing. 

It torpedos a bunch of what was good (in my mental model) of the protocol. Without that, any kind of “client opportunity” rhetoric has a defacto hole in the sack!

Thanks for helping me sync my mental model with current reality @pugson & @darrylyeo

Umm, 😳 how is that possible?
They were ultimately written to the protocol, no?
Did you expect that behavior @pugson

yeah i wish there was a way to revoke access without dropping them from the network

i signed into nook
and all I got was this lousy t-shirt
and all my nook casts deleted

Nook was building Snapchat on the FC protocol all this time we just didn’t know it.

maybe introduce a new state for signers where they can be deactivated and prevented from signing new messages, but old messages stay valid.

the current behavior of invalidating old messages when revoking a signer is completely unexpected by both devs and users, and is inconsistent with revoking app permissions in web2

imo this is a design flaw in the protocol.

need to think about it. will prob read up more and take some time to understand it :)

yeah the signer architecture is very…..not great 😔

Unfortunate, but that's how it works. This is one of the reasons I mostly cast from Warpcast.

the blockchain will IMMUTABLY record our data

forever 

read Satoshi's whitepaper and learn how to retrieve your casts

Will this happen to all /nook signers if/whe/after open sourced?

That happened whenever you revoke a signer.  I pulled that one off a few months ago.

I was about to do that, sooo… thanks 🥲
