Hey ummm

Has anyone paid their annual 2,500 warps for hosting channels?

Is Dan gonna come knocking on my door asking for 25,000 warps??

Update on channels

1. It's not a top priority right now

2. Channels are not expiring; if we end up moving forward with an expiration, we will give advanced notice; consider it an indefinite grace period

3. When it becomes a priority, we will resolve abandoned and squatted channels as part of the expiration; we will likely decentralize channel creation at that point — however, only when a top priority

4. What's higher priority than channels?

a. Continue to improve frames UX, especially with regard to onchain interactions

b. Improve discovery across Farcaster for anyone building / creating something onchain

c. Snapchain — need to scale the underlying protocol

d. Cheaper sign ups — top request from several existing apps with large user bases considering integrating with Farcaster

e. Migrating Sign in with Farcaster to Farcaster Connect (see FIP) to allow other clients to provide auth for apps / frames

f. Rewards and onboarding improvements around invites

Yeah agreed.  I think @jtgi sunsetting automod really pushed them to iterate on channel structure rather than just leaning in more on moderation tools

It felt like the open-gate (pre-member) model was working well, and building better moderation tools was the answer…

There’s an indefinite grace period

what happens if the channel owner doesnt pay the yearly warps fee? will the channel become ownerless, and can we snipe it? also how do we check the channel ownership expiration date like w ens domains

i think they are still trying to figure this out, i am ready to snipe some inactive channels
