To login / signup to Focus, will I need to get my seed phrase (stored in a safe on the other side of the world) back out again?
Here are some questions for the core team (@nader @mossified @ashdigital) regarding the new FOCUS app:
1) From what we’ve been able to tell, Focus.xyz will rank posts in a similar fashion to how Reddit ranks posts. They will be ranked based on up and down votes, but it will take the voters’ wallet balance into account, with an upper cap set for individual wallet balances. My question is, what will the upper cap be set at? If it’s set at, let’s say $1000, does that mean it’s not more beneficial to own greater than $1000 in Focus tokens when it comes to having additional clout/power on the platform? Also, will a downvote count the same as an upvote? Are there any other algorithms involved in ranking these posts on one's timeline or Focus homepage?
2) Will there be verification of users on FOCUS? How will it work? I know a lot has been made about “associations” in the past. Will that play a role? How exactly does one get verified?
3) Will Diamonds and/or likes still be a thing on Focus? If so, how?
4) Will referral links allow for direct linking to specific pages on Focus? For example can I use my referral link to share a post that someone makes, or an article I write, or will it just be a general referral link to the Focus signup/homepage? I think it would be great if we could add our referral links to any URL on Focus, but if a referral link is added, the user viewing the link should get a pop-over message asking them to signup.
5) Do our social graphs completely move over to Focus? I assume they do. By this, I mean our followers/following/old posts, etc.
Congratulations @nader + team
Today, DESO had a completely organic new exchange listing from none other than crypto.com. As we get closer to the launch of focus.xyz, our next breakthrough app, it's clear more and more people are starting to pay attention.

I’ve taken the time to reach out to the 100+ people I onboarded back in the BitClout days to let them know about the new updates.
While I don’t call myself a creator / influencer (I’ve got a LinkedIn blue badge but that means diddly squat out here!), I think we all have a place to play in supporting new initiatives in technology and the long term vision of the platform.
My focus here will be investing (in my own small ways) in active creators and being a cheer squad for them and the team/s building here.
Wishing you all the most wonderful 2024 ✨
Make sure you find the time to have a quiet cup of tea and read through this.

@nader we need to track these folks down and stop them reinventing the wheel - you’ve already done the heavy lifting!
