A few people have pointed out that they have neither an X or a Github. We're making changes to support them: 1. If you're active and earning rewards, you won't have to connect socials. Exact threshold TBD. 2. If you're a brand new user, you can pay to skip connecting socials. 3. We're also going to add more socials and onchain verifications over time to make this easier.

Paying to skip connecting socials and get verified? This doesn’t make any sense to me Every person with more money can now spin up unlimited verified Farcaster accounts without proving any legitimacy Come on, guys

i would change "you can pay" for "you can hold X amount of total balance on your warplet" one looks like a web2 company charging me for services the other one feels like an investment that i can get back

Could Farcaster itself serve as a sort of social graph verification long term? I’d trust someone with 200 legit followers here more than a random GitHub link

What ? 2 point doesn't make any sense, I personally think maintaining a minimum wallet balance and active is better than paying.

Not connecting any socials isn’t a good idea imho even for new users. Doesn’t have to be Twitter there is enough other socials out there.
