7 comments  That's awesome! Is there any way to create an account without Google/Apple accounts for payment? I tried Warpcast but it locks me out  This should work, I know that alternative clients allow you to create accounts purely by interacting onchain. Maybe try herocast  Herocast is glitched. It stole a tiny amount of money but a lot of my time =( Do you know hellno.eth? Or any others to try? Ok thank you. I found a web client far.quest that sells FIDs also, but it tells me: "An error has occured You can only register one FID per address." But on that client and web3.bio it isn't showing up. Do you know how to view or transfer fids? |
