whatever i need to do to justify head oh alright let's dive in if you are watching please recast retweet let people know that you are hanging out here and they should come join us alright i'm gonna start with something that i don't even know if you were aware of this while you were gone
we had a proposal go up from degen daw and it did pass and it included most of it was about the liquidity pool and different things they're doing with the habs token but there was also a part in there to sponsor gmfarcaster so more on that coming soon what yeah that's okay i don't even think she saw this
the discord you missed it
oh no no i didn't miss it okay and i'm going back to check what you wrote because i didn't understand it and i was like note to self i'll just ask you what you mean
within this proposal they put a two month sponsorship spotlight sponsorship so i'm gonna be chatting with purp to get that dialed in a little bit more but i if i'm understanding it correctly we'll be talking about habs and degen daw but also the different builders that they're supporting and that's what they're looking for from as part of the spotlight so thank you isn't that exciting i had no idea until i
i had no idea till i read the prop because i went to go like i i saw the notice from purp in the degen daw chat and said hey we included this and i'm like wow that's fantastic thank you so much yeah so yeah they're very focused on supporting farcaster builders and we're a part of that so thank you to degen daw thank you habs thank you purp and wake and by the way wake was one of the earliest supporters of gmfarcaster before we had a hypersub they had a clp token so
that that is right yeah we did our very very first nfts in fact i was talking to justin on the over at there's another one devconnect and i was telling him he was one of our very first sponsors as well for quid i think quiddly was our first you know corp corporate sponsor and then i and then i realized i didn't actually put the qidh logo on our media kit because it was so much later and he wasn't happy with me so i owe him that i gotta go
go add that in his yeah yeah in a way i remember wake sponsoring and me reaching out and saying like how do you want this to be listed do what do you wanna promote and they're like i just wanted to i just wanted to support you and i was like oh thank you thanks wake so thank you and i'm very yeah very excited about this and we're gonna get some more details of like kinda what we're gonna focus on but we'll start to roll those out in the in the coming weeks so very excited and thank you again degen dow and they're really ramping up and there's gonna be a lot happening so stay tuned and make sure you're following the habs channel for all the deets alright moving on i wanted to start with that right up front because i had a feeling you might have missed that was news for adrienne
surprise new sponsor this from bradq twenty nine seconds of farcaster what did you miss this weekend paragraph released writer coins and the biggest splash was fred wilson to be fair writer coins were released two weeks ago and we had we had one of the first ones but until fred does it it really doesn't matter
it i when they released to us though they didn't release to everyone so i don't know if it's now open for everyone i think we were early allow listed
okay maybe i'm assuming that fred might have been as well well i mean it's fred so anyway moving on with with the market cap sitting around 2,000,000 this morning paragraph hit number one on the mini app's leaderboard devconnect wrapped up there is a lot of lots of content on the timeline as for main messages it seems linda mini apps and decentralized social chaskin telling the story of ethereum vitalik ethereum roadmap were the most notable and worth watching and thanks chaskin keeping so many updates on farcaster as well as twitter which i really appreciated then moving on quotient new fc leaderboard will wrap up its first week in about twenty four hours we'll talk more about all of these things in a little bit not sure how many are paying attention but it's off to a real promising start will be interesting to see where it goes and if there are any rewards opportunities coming today in is the monad airdrop and main net i'm not real familiar with this shared a good post if you are interested beeper has made a splash on the timeline and held the number number one mini app spot off and on this weekend and we're gonna talk about all these things right now and dive into each of these a little bit more including monad so this is like the big crypto news this has been talked about for i don't know years at this point like seems like forever so it's finally here we had the test net launch maybe six months ago or something and it was launched on farcaster as well so this is from horsefacts happy monday monad mainnet is live in farcaster wallet if you don't see it yet quit and restart the app so you now can swap to monad mainnet as well if you had a claim you should be able to claim or you should have actually gotten an airdrop if you did your claim previously you should have received your tokens this morning i was trying to figure that out i was like do i have to do another claim but nope there they were i just couldn't see them and if you're using rainbow i think you can see it pretty pretty much in there as well but also clanker is live on main net today so wallet support oh this isn't the clanker one this is supposed to be the clanker one whoops wallet support as well as clanker support today so if you want to launch a token on monad on clanker you should now be able to do that so very exciting
i did get a little airdrop so that was nice few $100 appreciate it and swapped a little bit kept a little bit so n f a d y 0 r etcetera etcetera alright moving on this from ruminations and i don't know if you've been paying too much attention to this yet adrienne because you've been you've been busy quotient is accelerating our insights help you spot who is driving value on farcaster and base helping projects reward the right users and traders get in on get in early on promising builders leaderboard makes these insights accessible to everyday users we built the data infrastructure now we're shipping interfaces to make these insights more accessible we're expanding leaderboards within the mini app beyond creators and building a social deck screener for power users a big thank you to seltorius who helped bring leaderboard to the finish line so this launched last week we had talked with ruminations and geoffgolberg last monday and they kinda he teased this was coming and it did launch so you know i'm not gonna lie i i kinda love it pretty pretty happy although i'm slipping my i think my top spot was three the funniest thing has been dan getting excited to be on a leaderboard has been amusing to me very much so especially when i teased him that he was being beat by a dog yeah at first launch and then he kinda went like this hold my beer and then he was he's been battling they've been battling back and forth ever since
he's engagement farming he's totally engagement farming
completely don't fall don't fall for it
this has been really fun i have no idea how these numbers are being put together but this has been fun for me this is the highest i've ever been on a leaderboard on a weekly leaderboard i was like up at number three at one point and i'm like this is insane
so you don't like your leader you don't like your leaderboard experience i on the other hand am loving it that's how leaderboards work there you go i'm enjoying it i have no idea like they haven't announced there's any specific rewards like you know just it's just for fun just
it's just clout it's just pride pride not price
yeah when the when the monetary rewards went away how many people were like but can you leave the leaderboard yes i was one of those people we don't yeah we don't need the money just tell me just someone tell me what my worth is
tell me what my worth is on a leaderboard i need to know for me it's also it's a little bit of extra motivation i enjoy that part i like the gamification i like games but also it keeps me like it gives me an idea of just where i stand within the larger content creation universe of farcaster so and i currently like where i stand so thank you i've enjoyed this this has been fun still don't know what this is do you know yet have you seen anything i haven't seen anything drop from pugson this is pugson update wrapped up my short but very fun stint at farcaster loved building features for an app i use every day with a killer team shout out to my shipping partners blockheim g t tanish and sloke excited for monday so i assume something's dropping today and then because he also said also excited for when this new ui is released to the public so i haven't seen anything yet don't think it's up but
i don't know maybe he's excited for monday having nothing to do with the what he was talking about maybe no i don't know i i don't know what specific feature he is referring to
i don't either so i'm looking forward to learning more but i think it's cool that pugson was tapped to build something so very cool there was a big discussion about this i thought this was interesting so this is bradq gm this is where i cast from so this is my background today the resort but this came from jeff a while back about eight months ago said jeff goldberg said farcaster is a resort casino is on the 6th floor lots of great restaurant lounges first of all casinos are always on the 1st floor lots of great restaurant lounges lounges and bars shopping spot gym live entertainment golf course tennis courts you don't have to visit the casino you can still have a great time and i thought that's an interesting analogy and then this week he said i take it back farcaster is a casino take it back
you know
you know floors are under construction yeah we are we routed people we're routing people through the casino on the 1st floor it's okay
it's always on the 1st floor i think this was the this was the problem with the analogy i think the analogy is actually very good i really do i think it's like it makes sense but the casino's always on the 1st floor and you always have to go through the casino get to everything else and i think i think that might be where we are at the moment so there you go but everything else is still there and it's still fun so there's that alright moving on i'm getting a little lag but i think we're okay this was oh and then this to add to that this was funny from burr i've met so many amazing people in the casino because this was commenting on matthew fox had said networking at a casino is pretty fun so many different characters true and then burr had said i've met so many amazing people in the casino and she's talking about actual casinos to be clear mhmm she is a professional or retired professional poker player i think she still plays here and there but not the way she used to craps with michael phelps a 100 200 et al with kevin hart i think it's no limit craps with cam newton poker with doyle brunson craps with the pit with the pit o line i don't even know what that is oh pit pittsburgh offensive line i've never felt smaller in my life that makes sense poker with g michael in addition business development job acquired poker coaching opportunities several lifelong friends made the casino isn't always evil sometimes it's magical and i think that's an interesting framing from somebody who knows so yeah you can make friends in the casino there you go maybe get another job so alright this in clanker news clanker update early clanker projects like bankr bracky noise and more now have control of their native token fees no sell pressure from the clanker protocol developers are in control so this goes back to legacy fee claiming is now live so you can claim if you are in the in those older tokens you now should see this in your admin space alright moving on this from jesse pollock so this happens last week was that friday friday jesse launched his creator token official creator token he's been launching content tokens so i think some people were a little confused by this because it seemed like oh jesse's always launching tokens why is this different this is his actual jesse token it is live it is now available so very cool to see he finally launched that and you can see that i'm assuming that this card that they've been showing that ahniri had he's had i think nikki had it as well is something that i'm assuming we're gonna see once they release this feature live so for now creator tokens are if you're doing it directly on base those are limited they're just rolling that out they're still testing it etcetera so but it is directly connected with zora as well so it's it's still a zora token in that similar mechanic so i had one issue with the launch
it's an issue you've had before not you're gonna become known you're gonna you're gonna i
am gonna be that whiny person i'm like i i just was so frustrated by this there was an explanation i appreciate the explanation the explanation was too late but let me explain so i was wait jesse said he's launching this he said it was at noon etcetera etcetera i'm refreshing the base app nothing nothing nothing nothing like let me go check twitter and there it was and i lost my shit
lost it i'm like what the fuck are you doing but there was a reason they had a little d d o s happening so something went wrong during the launch and it was due to people just sort of pounding away trying to be the first ones in so they had to pivot post it on twitter
i think same thing happened to the farcaster app as well like both base app and farcaster app were getting hit
yeah it was at the at that same time and i guess he did actually post it on the base app and had to pull it down because something was going wrong so what you know during this whole process so that's what happened but the explanation about that it could've still been handled more quickly so this was jesse's comment back quiet over there the plan was to be base app first but alas sometimes even the best plans don't hold up to stuff going wrong we'll learn from this and keep getting better he said my apologies for this post being late on the base app tldr app went down because i got dosed by people sending me tokens with artificially high balances farcaster was also down x was the fallback and got out perfectly and luckily the open markets of base means anyone could buy so it did get out there people were able to buy but it was not not the best and the other thing is that this explanation took too long like as soon as they put it on twitter somebody didn't have to be him but somebody from the team should have posted that in other places like should have posted it on farcaster and base and and at least said hey this is what's going on and link back to twitter if you needed to so just found that very frustrating but it is what it is we'll get there i did pick up some jesse token i don't know if you did but i grabbed a little bit just to have it and the other thing i always do and i don't know if i don't know how much people do this as well but i always try to sell back what i put in and then just hold the rest if i can if it goes up at all mhmm because that way i feel like i don't even have to think about it and it's just like contributing to whatever the creator's doing etcetera etcetera so that's what i did and that's what i tend to do so if you see me sell something that's usually the reason i'm selling back the amount i put in and that way i don't have to think about it
yeah well everybody everybody in buenos aires that i was hanging out with was talking about jesse
was talking about the jesse token or jesse
everybody and i'm yeah i'm not surprised because it was it was big news it was big news and he i think he was was he there when he launched no he was back home when he launched it he was back home already because he was in buenos aires for a little bit so but i think he was back home when that happened i didn't get a chance to
here it is okay so going i'm gonna circle back a little bit to talking about tokens to this paragraph had launched writer tokens a couple weeks ago but they really got a bump from fred wilson launching his and he did that this past past week launched his then jake launched his then martazo launched his so what that meant was all of a sudden paragraph was up towards the top there so that was fun to see but also there was some comments about like oh does this mean writer coins are now a thing and because they got a pop and i don't think you should take anything from that because i do think this is fred wilson specific why it did so well also jake specific why it did so well also you could say the same thing about murtaza because they are like they're a couple of them are professional writers you know they write all the time and they're they're known for writing so i think for those folks it's gonna make sense that their that their coins are gonna do a little bit better but i also think there's a lot of i think we're talking about this in the wrong way and there's like and i'm seeing some equations of like meme coins to writer coins to all these different creator coins and all these things in other words like stop saying when you're gonna update the dex bro to random writer who's launching a coin like enough enough with that like they're not gonna do that they shouldn't be expected to do that and their coin is not gonna make enough money that it's gonna even make sense to do that most people moe for most people it might make sense for somebody who's a little bit more well known but no
yeah and fred i mean listen fred may have opinions on what to do with this coin you know and and by the way fred's been blogging forever
forever and he's a great forever
he's a great writer yeah og internet blogger vc so like i think it makes i actually am like yeah he he writer coin makes sense for him that's great mhmm i think for a lot of other writers and creators like when given the option to create a coin for your work whether it's you know creator coin or writer coin or whatever yeah there's no plan for it it's you saying hi to yes2crypto
yeah that's weird
you can't i we can't text you back to you but it just listen if if the platform gives you the opportunity to create it i mean this is what we did it's like yeah we're gonna we're gonna use the things we don't know how they're gonna work out but you use them create an opportunity but don't don't bring your expectations
no yeah yeah yeah just totally sorry totally got distracted by this
find us on youtube which is weird so i'm not sure why so let us know why you're not seeing us on there that's kinda odd it should be showing up on the gmfarcaster channel so weird yeah i think that like it it depends i i think the expectations for all of this should be low for creator coins in general because it's it's new it's experimental and there's gonna be a lot of ups and downs and there's gonna be a lot of things that don't work
i'm not convinced by any of this i'm really not like and i'm probably one of the most optimistic people about tokens in general i'm not convinced that this is something that can provide a full time revenue or like that level of revenue to a creator or a writer or anyone like that i think it's an addition
i'll say average not an i mean it's possible but even even that no i even i would say right now in this moment it's not gonna be the revenue level is just not gonna be high enough for anybody really it's really not potentially could be but i think it's a very hard road to navigate it's not is it it's still you're still gonna need sponsors is what i'm coming down to for anything significant you just are i just don't see how we can replace that as much as i would love to i just don't think we're gonna get there i think things that we're calling app coins or other types of memes coins all of it's memes coins first of all and legally you wanna call it that number one number two it requires a a really high level of attention and so if you're a regular even if you're a regular creator who's doing this all the time even that is may not be enough it's like needs something else to sorta kick that flywheel going and that's why you see quote unquote app coins do so much better than other types of coins because they're they're first of all making the coin useful in their apps and then the app itself sorta drives that attention and activity so i think it's gonna be really hard otherwise to to keep to get it flying and i think the average creator just isn't gonna put that level of effort in so we'll see yeah we shall see
and by the way i totally agree more that you know they if if the expectation is like oh launch a coin and now i just have to post on social media and get paid yeah how what how what yeah i just i just want it like for me personally or for anyone it's just it's fun to experiment oh absolutely it's like see you know use and but yeah no expectation that
yeah
no and and we actually launched one as well so there is a coin which i don't know why the image isn't showing on this but it's it's there you can find it on gmfarcaster's account if you're interested but i do think what i do think is useful is when you go into the paragraph and i should have pulled fred's and i don't know why i didn't when you go into the paragraph post and things like that where you can hit support it kinda has it laid out it gives you options now of like you know three 10 and something and it's and it's framing it as support this writer not as speculate that this token will go up in value and i think if you keep that in mind that's gonna be helpful and then hopefully we'll see people you know building on top of that and providing benefits or rewards or you know rewards to your supporters and that's a normal thing and i think that's a good thing so sure yeah and if you may have gotten an airdrop from fred also if you've been following him because i did and i was like oh that's cool cool so you probably did you probably did because i know you read him as well alright some fun things hold on be right hold on be right back prb it's a
oh no few more things i forgot it few more things and then some fun things and then devconnect speaking of so we have a new place you can get a gmfarcaster copy mug so check this out on drops this is from propagandanow and their drops app gmfarcaster grabbed the official coffee mug from farcaster's number one news show gmfarcaster i just love that stay up to date on farcaster news in the time it takes to enjoy your morning coffee earn 30% token cashback in castout so this is a new experiment with drops with their mini app they reached out wanted to have us join them and this has been fun to to see this play out so you can go into the mini app you'll see a whole bunch of different products there's a whole bunch of different things in here ours oh is today the daily drop or this was from the other day hold on let me see if it'll let me slide come on slide to reveal there it is so there you go it's there's six out of 10 sold so there's only four left get it while you can for the discount and then they have a lot of random things on here which is really weird but okay i don't know i don't know why but totally random stuff and also liquid death but no biscuits it's unfortunate debbie's book was on here oh there it is so digital map is on here few other things so go check that out while you're doing your good friday your good friday black friday shopping good friday that's funny moving on the the
excellent makes a excellent gift to yourself
it will it's true we have a few others on our gmfarcaster.shop so if you're not interested in this particular one that's on sale you can go check those out as well this from beeper in beep we've been asked three things who are we this is a new mini app and folks were snapping it up and a lot of people had questions so they answered some questions here we've been asked three things who are we two builders who've been shipping on farcaster for a long time nothing anonymous just product people who like simple tools and wanna make attention work better for everyone why are we building this because reaching people on chain is broken messages flow into group chats vanish into dm requests and casts drift past without ever being seen we wanted a way to reach the right people at scale and reward them for giving you a moment of their time this by the way to join the wait list cost 0.001 eth so where is it going we'll use it to drop cool stuff before launch and buy beep token for you at launch it all becomes your reward not ours to show you how beeper actually works we just broadcasted a message to all 300 3,129 people on the wait list check your inbox it makes more sense once you do so going into this real quick this is interesting it kinda reminds me of a few experiments on this that we've seen like come on why isn't it opening
know why it's not opening open for me alright don't know why it's not opening but it's kinda cool it has this sort of nineties vibe of the beepers and messages that you would get on a beeper a lot of people have no idea what that is
i think we might so it's this little device that would you could at first it would only send a phone number like you have to call the number back and that's it then they evolved where you could send a little message this is pretexting
pre cell phones pre cell phones pre cell phones when the only way you could make phone calls was on a landline so you had to physically be in a place so if you wanted to call me you need to either know my office phone or my home phone and that's how you would get me but people who are very important people very important people
like drug dealers
yeah yeah
yeah doctors and drug dealers
so you would hold a beeper and people would beep you they could page you and your little device would beep hence the name beeper and it would just have a phone number on it and you would get yourself to the nearest pay phone and dial that number because someone was finding you exactly and that my friends is what a beeper is
that's what a beeper is i wish i could show i don't know why this isn't opening for me but this is a really it really looks cool like in terms of the design it's all this very you know nostalgic looking and it's it's pretty cool and you can send they can send out messages to everybody at one time so it's pretty cool we'll see we'll see where it goes but interesting and also you know if and if you need another example of a beeper there's a friends episode i believe it's season maybe towards the end of season one early season two when carol's having a baby and ross gets a beeper and keeps getting messages for somebody who's a prostitute so it's pretty funny anyway moving on did you sign up for beeper i did
did yeah as soon as i found out who it was because it's undefined in two mhmm so i at first i was like i'm not what is this and then as soon as i realized who the who the devs were and like they were legit folks then i was i was in and i think that's what lot of people
them because they've earned your trust to say hey we're launching something goodwill you'll try it
yeah exactly so i didn't at first jump in i'm like i kept seeing it and i'm like what is this and then when i finally figured out who i think i even typed it to one point who who's behind this and then i found out so i was like okay that's legit i'll i'll dive in i dive into the legit things i'm not gonna you know throw money at a nuns but occasionally i do
speaking of legit fun things this is from catfacts so catfacts has launched a little game it's really it's pretty fun and you get to adjust with a prompt and image so this is a good example here hilarious day zero for chain reaction mini app we started with the image on the right he meant to say it right and people mutated it to the image on the left love the creativity and chaos somewhere along the way the app reverted to the seed image i was using for testing investigating the issue before round two so this was really fun so you started with dan in a astronaut suit and it evolved over time and it was fun to see the evolution and see where things went so yeah and then dan became a cat in a top hat and that was probably yes2crypto's fault is what i guess so but really fun i added the top hat and then it it morphed a little bit but this was fun it was a really fun fun little thing go check it out and i don't know if it's mikado mikado mikado or catfacts or whatever we're calling you now is it open to everybody now i'm not sure so they might it might still be in beta but it's really pretty fun so go check it out if it's when it's available few other crazy fun things these happened so
sayangel has created these scenes these warplet scenes where you can add multiple people and their warplets appear in the scene and one of them were the plushies and i want all three of these plushies i want them i love these these are great and this is yes2cryptos i love it and want one lol adrienne's face for real like that is just perfect it's perfect adrienne's face warplets make cute plushies they really do so this has been really fun
yeah that's right
but actually not even my warplet it was my it was my happy warplet but i actually yeah yeah but i love the mean plushie mean skeptical
yeah a little bit
i love it it's so funny then the other fun thing i've been seeing with groups has been the new meta with try emerge and group you can do group ones so there's been a couple really cool ones this is the retro mystery team group photo where it's like scooby and super cool and this was had created this i created this one this is me you warpee and gmfarcaster mhmm as a group and my crypt this is my crypto ray ray down here and over here he turns into scooby and i just think that's hilarious so funny and then this one this was great this is toady brett and symbiote and me hanging out awesome so fun and then this was really cool this is macy's day parade balloons and this was the first one that symbiote created and it's me p g a town and symbiote as balloons going down going down the road in new york for the macy's parade and this is the one i created with me you and warpee and gmfarcaster and it's hilarious so i love it
so funny my p f p is too pixelly so it doesn't always sometimes it just looks like a sticker yeah just like looks like a sticker on these they don't look as good yours are so good but this the macy's thanksgiving day parade as like an idea is a good one for this
isn't it so good like this one's really good like this particular image is so good
peachy looks great witchy it's so good so good so really fun i've been loving these so go check it out you can add your own in there few other just random totally random fun things cj has been doing or siege has been doing reviews of christmas movies for a couple weeks now this is review number nine of just like all the things and she rates them so her ratings are out of five christmas trees for cringe factor originality writing acting and love believability and it's there's it's funny it's really funny so go check out her reviews if you're looking for new christmas movies
just cringe do you want a christmas movie to be cringe or you're trying to minimize cringe
i guess it depends on your you know what you're looking for i prefer less cringe cringe will probably make me churn quickly i'll be out if it's too cringey like i am not a big hallmark lifetime well lifetime's a little different hallmark movie karmic christmas movie type of person like i don't like them i don't enjoy them for the most part but occasionally if you you know so i've been i've been reading her reviews they're pretty funny so go check them out and then we had this from rish which was really funny reporter to coinbase are you saying ethereum isn't the future coinbase i vitalik that's okay you can just say yes it's easier than explaining it i don't mind this is really funny so this was this is rish in response to coinbase announcing we're doubling down on solana coinbase is acquiring vector fun an on chain trading platform built on solana whose tech will plug directly into coinbase to help better serve one of crypto's most active ecosystems very interesting that they made this acquisition but then this was rish playing off of the mondami trump fascist comment and i just thought this was it was well done was well done
you had to it took a little bit to get there i wouldn't have come up with this one at all so it was really it's really funny
he knew i got it as soon as i saw it i was like oh this is hilarious and then this was from supertightwoody from a bit ago but i thought it was funny didn't know we were going for these type of arches but here we are and this is in response to the current market situation which just isn't getting any better at least at least not the last time i checked i haven't checked in a minute but as of this morning alright we've got one more thing i already talked about that alright we gotta talk about devconnect so you just got back
what a crazy time you had so how long was your flight by the way
there we go okay yep that's crazy we are a little lag there i think that's crazy yeah that was why i did not wanna do this i think mine was gonna be like fifteen or something like that it was kinda kinda nutty
so anyway
looked amazing i
looked amazing that's true we went to mongolia that took you like two days to get there or something so
i can handle a long flight it makes you tired for a few days like i came back saturday and just like for twenty four hours crashed i don't know if you saw my my cast at saturday morning and i was like sometimes i think i'm depressed and i realized no i'm just tired
like i'm tired
just tired just tired feel i'm feeling really bad oh no i just needed a good night's sleep
well it just takes a lot out of you too and you're going the whole time you were there and yeah so this is from the devcon account ethereum's world fair recap 20 k registrants from a 130 plus countries 75 plus app showcases eight districts 15 community hubs talks workshops discussions and more thank you to everyone who made devconnect argentina one to remember so very cool
so good
they were posting a ton updates every day video recaps informational things but they were posting on farcaster very consistently well done well done devcon thank you we appreciate and not they used twitter went down on monday
channel like every yeah very impressed yep
and of course they were also posting on twitter and they have a you know but so so they're reaching people where they are but farcaster is still small comparatively so they didn't they didn't have to and they really do so it's a little bit of they'll you know walk the walk
i appreciate that they walk the walk and i will say that about yeah all of them and i feel like they're really really doing a good job of that this was from linda come on come on
linda was everywhere she was doing a ton of things did you even get to see her
barely she was actually everywhere i just she was woman does not she does not sleep she's going everywhere and and you'll meet and like her and horsefacts both were the two merkel reps who are kind of manning the booth but they're both the like calmest chillest people ever
true yeah
yeah
good good vibes from both of them anyway linda was did a bunch of talks and she was everywhere but i did stay here for a little bit she was
good booth looked cool i loved the whole vibe of the space in general from the photos that i saw and the different things that i saw so this was from linda the farcaster booth at devconnect was a success huge thanks to everyone who staffed it to help onboard newcomers and answer questions it was also a popular meeting spot for farcaster community members which was lovely to see people get to hang out in person which i think that is probably the best use case and i feel like at december that was the base booth last year it was like you that's where you're finding everybody because it was it's hard to find people in a you know huge space so that was really cool to see i loved seeing a lot of the pictures that i saw from the booth really fun come on you're gonna be difficult tommy and you worked the booth for a little bit so what kind of questions and what were people asking when you were when you were there
it is interesting i did three sessions at the booth and you're and she's right and you're right it was like half like people come up and it's like are you on farcaster it's like yeah i'm on farcaster so people are kinda just checking in meeting new people to follow there's and then the other category people were like never heard of farcaster so it's like you're starting from the beginning like what
was it like fifty fifty or was it did you find
yeah fifty fifty maybe slightly yeah i think fifty fifty okay from from people who are coming up and what is interesting about the ethereum crowd is they're really interested in decentralization so the pitch wasn't like no trading fees join farcaster yeah and you know and you get no trading fees it was like oh well what you know is it decentralized that's what people wanna know so yeah ethereum yeah cypher cypherpunk values i think are still pretty pretty alive and well at that
it's so funny it's like the one place where that is actually gonna be the biggest selling point as opposed to others where it's like they're like don't even don't even start with that because nobody's no one cares nobody cares
i mean listen dan says the market's saturated right market is saturated for people interested in decentral ization probably it's it's probably mostly saturated but there's a few stragglers we could bring in and and onboard what's nice is like obviously merkel is focused on trading as like an onboarding growth mechanism but the anything we could have said you know a month ago about decentralization and and what sufficiently decentralized means to farcaster from a month ago or two years ago or three years ago is kinda still exists so the pitch doesn't change it's just the way we're talking about farcaster
it's and it's also knowing your audience yeah yeah knowing your audience because then it's like
people don't know about mini apps you know it's like we forget if you've never heard of farcaster and you don't know what to expect it's like okay here how do you show it oh it's kinda like a twitter clone oh what's a mini app oh you automatically like i think for developers it was a really interesting story
true
because it's like can build you know build a mini app get distribution automatically have your social graph built in you you don't have to ask people to log in you know who they are
i love it
it's really interesting i i think it would be really interesting yeah to to get the response of those who've never heard of it versus like yeah mhmm those who've been around for a while this was you meeting an atcrypto and i loved his i i was just looking for his post that i i guess i didn't grab the one where he met he met up with toady and they took a picture and the way he described toady was as the winner of cast out i love that not like nothing to do with better nothing to do with nouns cast out was hilarious that's so funny there's he
it's so funny then we had linda doing a big talk and then and she had all the information up here and we saw some photos that day that she was doing it people sending from the audience but here is her full like shout outs to everybody she started with social forensics and then moved on to mini word of course from ceebeave because that's one of her favorites and then the tipping apps tipping tippin and noise and shout outs to them examples of try emerge with a town and create a prompt by pichi and then warplits had to show off viral warplet mini app by sayangel with example of nounish prof werplet and imng which i was like oh my god so many people tagged me and like said something about it it was really funny so i loved seeing that that was really fun and then also the crowdfund mini app that's a good one to show and talking about los formos mhmm so that was really cool oh this was yeah what you see versus what i see thank you linda for bringing warplits to devconnect stage that was so cute so love that really fun loved seeing this and i loved her message to dan look dwr i used your image in my presentation where the ugly warplet creature is holding the at the alzheimer's eye the ugly warplet creature hold on one sec
my dog is going crazy by the door because my son just walked out so now yeah that's the whining i don't know if you can hear the wiener whine but the wiener whine is mookie crying for his his brother over there this is from chaskin i wanted this talk to be okay so this was in response to zenny dot eat saying watching chaskin dot eat tell the story of ethereum if you're feeling jaded by the current state of crypto this is the talk to watch also dreams don't need gatekeepers is a banger of a slide title and then this is chaskin's comment on this i wanted this talk to be something i could share with friends and family to show why i care so much about this movement and what it means for the future first time speaking at that scale apparently my hand was visibly shaking at the start oh but then i hit a groove really proud of it and grateful for the positive reception i've received so far and did you get a chance to see this or no
not yet okay like i said my problem with devconnect is i i was telling you this before we went live it's like wish i could like run it back three times and one time watch every talk one time be at the farcaster booth one time go to every party like oh one time go to the hackathon and and all the coworking spaces like there's too much to do so no but the talks are recorded so i'm gonna
yeah i need to go back and watch a bunch of them because i've heard good things about many many of them i also forgot to pull humpty had his creator house happened right before the nouns fair was happening there was so much going on we talked a little bit about some of those last week but because those were early but there was just so much happening so much it's crazy and did you bring your rock camera no
oh cool very cool
and we were walking in like a bunch of us just happened to see each other at the entrance one day and we're walking in and he had his rock so we took a took
a little photo yeah fantastic love it we're just
verifying reality it was real they're really there and then i guess horsefacts did a did a talk as well every farcaster user is here for horsefacts so i guess there were 37 people at this talk
he did a yeah he did a mini app's talk and yeah and i think it was a it was a little bit of a repeat if you were at the farcon hackathon he i think it was a okay a similar talk which is just like an intro to what mini apps are and how to think about them and how
to build them also had some skateboarding some a new ops knob knobstacle knobstacle i think is what we call that something like that so very cool saw a bunch of stuff with that happening that looked fun we also had limone talking doing a talk as well and he was talking about rise of farms which you he mentioned in the pod the chat you did with him and will and debbie which was fantastic if you haven't watched that yet go back and watch it but really excited for rise of farms to launch so that's coming soon and he was also talking about mini apps with lots of people what was this one there's so many things that happened oh this was from the builders garden group takeover at the farcaster booth so that was really fun to see as well the it's cool to see how many people were taking turns in the booth too mhmm that was really neat to see yeah you had a bunch of folk pictures from the build her brunch so that was another activation and this is anushka in tiny rain boot ted jesse jesse jean i should say and statuette so fun to see them
i'm sad sad i missed that what else do we have oh pizzadao pleasantly surprised to see warplits on display at the pizzadao event sayangel is this what you're doing and i don't know if he ever answered he he did but i didn't understand the answer
warplits were everywhere warplits everywhere brought i brought the gmfarcaster warplit sticker to put at the farcaster booth right and you know farcaster doesn't do merch obviously we're so it was a very bare bones it was just a meetup type so it was one of the few things only things you could go to pick up at the booth
oh that's funny
is everywhere it i love it i love it and then there was this is the other thing justin had posted this did not have listening to spanish rap by a dude in a warplet t shirt in a basement in buenos aires on my 2025 in gocar and he's wearing a shirt that says just warp it like what is happening
it's a warplet yes yes
i know this this is that that was at the pizza dao event wild amazing totally wild warplets everywhere what else i got a couple more quick things this was from toadyhawk a fun story from this devconnect argentina trip involving the legend jan frilla against his will i was checking into a hotel and the valet said i love your shirt about the jan original reply guys tee i was rocking i said thanks it's actually a custom designed by an amazing argentinian artist he then pulls out his phone and asked me to find his ig so he can follow him a few days later yon messages me the screenshot this is onboarding and that is really funny so the guy
took a picture of tony
yes and i want the shirt i think he wanted to buy the shirt
yes oh my god that's that shirt yeah isn't that wild so that was really funny to see and then this from nikolai gm everyone what an experience it has been devcon where i had a chance to be on the build a yield stage and talk about mini app extension i developed for the scaffold eth and then the eth global hackathon where together with one built an amazing ai powered mini app generator more info coming soon as a sneak peek here's a screenshot of one of the app the generator developed and deployed in fourteen minutes from a one line prompt make a china tower theme labyrinth game it is fully functional and has a smart contract everything works out of the box so that's very interesting curious to see what comes from that and then i think i'm just making sure i hit everything before i hit this so you were in the devconnect podcast studio so this is hello from podcast studio at devconnect had a great conversation with limone w which is will and debbie we'll share soon so that is now out you can find it everywhere it's on youtube spotify on all of our gmfarcaster channels it was sent out if you're one of our hyper sub you got it in your wallet so it's everywhere it's on pods and it was a great chat so so glad that you'd got that done and that particular group of people what a crew of builders like
i love them i could have listened to you guys talk for like another hour like i was loving the conversation there was a great conversation about trustless and trust and trusted builders and i thought that was really an interesting conversation as well as sort of touching in on different things that they were working on and doing and listening to the the stablecoin sandwich food truck
because i guess vitalik did a talk on trustlessness i think there's a whole trustless day right and that was a little bit i think will said it was a little bit of the a talk about the trustless manifesto and he said like the definition of trust is you can get hurt like if you trust someone someone can harm you and the goal of technology and ethereum i think broadly in the full stack should be trustless which is like set it up so no one could ever harm you right yeah and i think that's like great ideology about when you think about kind of like ethereum and then will kind of like it just made him pause for a minute because it was like wait a minute like okay am i supposed to live my life like never trusting anyone and and i know you have your line i do up
okay well i don't trust anybody trust no one assume positive intent my other line is web three the true web three currency is trust i mean trust is the true web three currency if you you're making those decisions every time you pick a coin of just talking about beeper when we were talking about beeper earlier i didn't you know jump in it right at first until i figured out who was behind it and then i went oh i trust them enough that yes i will give you a little bit of money mhmm to do whatever it is you're doing because this looks interesting
yeah right and so we're social he just was talking about like we're social animals like we that's how we organize and and we and i just go back to like right if you don't trust someone i mean it kind of reminds me of like falling in love like you yeah there you you could never fall in love and never get hurt and true then you miss out so yeah you could never trust any app and all but you know what are you missing out on so it was an interesting conversation i think he was a little hesitant to go on record when he said disagreeing with vitalik i'm like you're
not disagreeing i would love and then he mentioned like that would be a great discussion like a great debate discussion yeah i would love that because i think he had a lot of great points i i think it more comes down to like realistically or you know the reality is you have to have some trust but the you know ideal situation is to have these things happen without having to make those evaluations like right ideally yes i would like to be able to just know that i can trust this thing mhmm without having to do my own like right you know
listen pure trustless means like the user experience sucks and it's only gonna be available to a very small percentage of people right so yeah
yeah yeah absolutely
so i thought it was interesting and and we just didn't have a lot of time in you know to to go through it but both i just think both splits and privy are attacking usability yes without necessarily compromising a lot of crypto values
so really good conversation you guys should definitely check out the recording and it was good it was a good conversation
it was really good yeah
such a big brain trust in that in that space oh so good
and then it reminds me also of i guess the can't be evil versus don't be evil yeah conversation yeah so if you trust someone you're trusting them not to be evil right when you're doing something in a smart contract that is cryptographically signed and you just say these are this is code that can't be manipulated right then it can't be evil okay well i think that's a great foundation to build on top of
yeah yeah i think right i think it's yeah i agree i agree but yeah we are putting like a lot of trust and privy for a lot of things and you know so all these different tools all these different tools same thing with splits we're trusting them with our funds to hold and keep them safe so there's all these different things that you and that's why a lot of these times you do need if you're going into trusting that aspect of it you do need nonanonymous founders and people because you have to get some kind of feel for who these people are
well that's why but bitcoin because of the way it's designed you don't necessarily need that so you don't need to know who satoshi is mhmm but
also the trustless versus trusting yeah
yeah and it's a spectrum because absolutely for let's say their centralized exchanges like we had that conversation like yeah i trust i trust coinbase with my funds i don't not yep but that's like
they could lock me out
recourse absolutely
there's levels yeah the reasons i trust them is there's a history of doing
now we have kobe anyway kobe doing customer
it's fine now yeah we have cobe now
right so with splits it does require some level of trust and i talked to will about that that's because i didn't audit the contracts but it's still there's but it's still based on sovereignty like put it this way they can't i don't think i'm like but they can't take our funds right they can't unless we sign it right like right they they can't decide to be like oh now you have zero
right
but it doesn't mean we can't be compromised another way you know and and it's time it's just like how long have like how much money and how many times and how many hackers have tried it's just like that's how we build trust over time it takes time
exactly yep exactly so anyway really good conversation
okay totally random conversation yeah no my dog is my dog is having is just whining by the door right now he's still whining by the door but i have to just make hi faye i have to make a point about this die hard is 100% a christmas movie and the best christmas movie ever i agree and i also watch it every christmas eve while i'm wrapping gifts like it is my personal tradition some people know this i have issued poaps for a couple years there might be one this year also my favorite holiday is festivas so there you go as for as for coming into the season for those who don't know i like weird things yeah
speaking of holiday speaking of holiday wrapping i'm gonna shill oh i was pulling up yeah we have gmfarcaster holiday gift wrap so gmfarcaster.shop yes you should buy that and wrap your
holiday buy that oh that's funny alright i think i had one last thing i wanted to shout out and then we are gonna wrap this up and this is the next devcon devcon eight mumbai india in q four of twenty twenty six so devconnect they do every other year the other years are devcon devcon is neck is gonna be this time next year in moment
if you ask five people what the difference between devcon and devconnect are you will get five different answers so i heard i think you are not good at marketing
who were you talk were you talking about that was limone okay i was like somebody was talking about that yeah and that was like we
had nathan and chaskin on our devconnect talk explain the difference as well and i'm pretty sure we're getting different answers so yeah
i think so too so there you go but if you're yeah if you're looking for this it's coming coming this time next year will be devcon and then but before that we have eathenber coming up which i need to do some things for so and farcon rum and farcon rum alright and with that anything else about devconnect that i didn't mention how was the farcaster meetup i forgot to pull a picture from that
farcaster meetup was amazing and limone with support from his partners did a great job it was like super chill at a like cool cocktail bar we had farcaster themed cocktails i saw that they were fun yeah good food like good conversation really good time
and yeah i really liked buenos aires i've never been i found it like big modern city tons of like european influence so like there's parts that you know it's like you feel get a little bit of italy get a little bit of france you get a little bit of spain and it feels like it was but big and modern easy to get around ubers were cheap and food was good if you like meat
if you like meat
you like meat you're a vegetarian it might have been a little tough
we clanked some pancreas
like okay we we i we did two clankers last last week that's funny and that was actually a good way we were at dinner there were like eight of us at dinner and we were with people who were not on farcaster and yeah who were there were some new people they were kind of even someone we were with wasn't even super big into ethereum and we're just trying to tell them about what farcaster is about what clanker is and there's really no better way than to demo true so at dinner we had to ask the waiter for recommendations and recommendations we got we got some local delicacy recommended to us as an appetizer i cat i forgot what it was called i don't know if you're pulling it up i forget the
i'm trying to pull it up right now yeah i'm
but he shows a spanish word and and then in on the menu it is an english translation of sweetbreads which i all i knew is like i was like i don't know exactly what that is but i think it is then we googled it google said pancreas i don't actually think it's a pancreas it's a it's a gland near the heart is what i think it is or something anyway it was delicious it was delicious what's my point so on justin on took a picture of me holding up the what we were calling pancreas and we clanked it so we're showing how you can tag a bot turn any moment or meme into a a token which then people are free to to buy why i don't know we couldn't explain why but but people did
the why the why was unknowable so right before this i said i'm having so much foam i'm i'm now having fomo and i can't remember what it was about at that moment i think it was the booth or whatever and and then this came up and i went fomo's gone i'm good say i need this
is that what it's called anyway so but then what we were showing them is that you get like how you can get a token how you see it in the warplet also how with clanker you're getting the fees so it was kind of like you get a you get a certain allocation we could give that away and then we're getting fees paired with weth and then we were saying we can pay for dinner we showed how you can use a clanker to pay for dinner so then justin off ramped and and the way he did it it was like also he took the wet fees off ramped to euro or they converted to a euro stable the euro stablecoin and he had a card
oh okay
it was metamask card or something
okay
so he transferred it to nounish it took a minute for it to show up and then could swipe it like a visa or mastercard
oh that's crazy
that's fun
that's funny i love that and you said you did one more what was the other one
i clanked a jesse token because i was not getting into jesse so jesse it it wasn't an anti jesse it was i'm not going to compete against the bots that are buying jesse on day one
okay
so i love jesse and he's got nothing but you know my infinite support forever until i die i will get some jesse at some point but i was like here's what's gonna happen he's launching it at a certain time yeah there's so much hype about it everyone is like i said everyone was talking about it everybody everyone i saw people setting up their ai bots with programmatically to buy it and then sell it and you know like people were trading it it was very speculative so i was happy to sit out so just for me personally it's not a this is mhmm i'm gonna just i i do
you weren't gonna go into battle you weren't gonna battle in these trenches just got it yeah
no you don't
same for an aerie by the way i didn't buy an aerie on day one
i do when i hold it hold her yep hold her forever her forever you forever anyway we were at the farcaster booth and two people were were trying to buy jesse it was shortly after the launch oh farcaster was laggy and you know and and and i think the base gas went up like think it
was it did there was still it went crazy
gas went up so people were trying to buy it they were getting priced out so i just snapped a picture of two people at the booth
oh i saw that one okay
i see and then i clanked that and i clanked this is what it looks like when you get priced out of jesse and i clanked it and you know what the bots love to buy things and i lose them with
there you go it's a boy i did see that one that's why you say that i remember that one i remember the picture in the booth while they were trying to buy the jesse that's funny so
listen that this is like the on on the continuum of like total meaningless yeah meme coin i don't even i don't think meme gives it to
that was definitely meme that's a meme
but it wasn't a shitcoin
not shitcoin momentcoin yeah it's just a moment it's a meme coin it's a meme coin you were catching the jessie meme yeah
and adding to the the meta of of a moment online you know and yeah and it did well i think that's the other
i think that's the other part like that to me is like that's really a content coin on clanker like yes it's essentially what that is it's just a moment it's like a moment you're marking the moment with a coin at that time yeah and that's what it is and same thing with the pancreas one
and i claimed the wet and i split it up three ways with the two people i took pictures of
oh that's hilarious love
and yeah
yes i think it was i think it was i there were so many links that i didn't even grab like there were so many like there was so much going on so there's if you go to the devconnect channel you'll see a lot of it but not everybody was tagging the channel which i wish they had were but there was a lot in the channel but also just search devconnect and you'll see a lot of it as well because there was just so much going on so so fun to watch
do want more gossip from the week yeah should we do some hot gossip yeah hot gossip corner
yes let's let's close this out with hot goss
this is not okay so other things i think that people were talking about clanker well listen monday's our clanker spotlight so we talk clanker we clanked at we clanked at i think some of the things there was a lot of talk about clanker during the there would be great fun but i got feedback that people like our clanker spotlights when we brought clankers on clanker spotlights on because there's so much happening in clanker right so it's kinda like how do you separate signal from noise and which clankers are ones that just you know do the the the three hour cycle of up and down twenty four hours is even too long now
and you distinguish the ones that are actually have some have some staying power yeah
and yeah and farcaster has been doing clanker spotlights and tweeting out new projects and by the way if you're planning on launching on clanker sliding to dan's dms so or linda because they'll work with you to do announcements but i think what people were telling me was it's like when that when they get the spotlight tweet or on telegram there's not enough context so a typic it's like it's new and it's like yeah what is this should i buy it and you know and and there was i just people liked our like interviews with clanker builders this is the hot goss guys everybody loves gmfarcaster
okay i love this hot cost this hot cost is fantastic
hot cost corner wait i'm trying to think of other things oh and then and something else that i can
a little bit i've been i was hoping i was gonna get this done last week i didn't but i will get it done in the next couple days what is packaging the clanker spotlight separately from the episodes so that they can kinda live on their own because a lot of those have are pretty green or they're gonna be green for a while if you take the news out of it so we do wanna repackage those just so they're a little bit easier to consume and we'll be we'll be doing that shortly
so yeah also i'm gonna shout out had the best swag at their birth wanna know what it was it was a package of mate that i brought home
oh wow
and base and base gave little mate cups so i can like come home and do ceremonial mate do you know about mate
i don't know what mate is okay
some kind of coffee or something
tea it's like tea i think it's like a tea but it has energy and i think it's like non caffeine energy it's like something else oh but the argentinians are like religious about their mate really point where and it's like very ceremonial so it's almost like you know so there's it's tea leaves you put it in a cup you're pouring in hot water it's you don't strain it so you make it in a way where the tea leaves sit on the top and you sip it through a straw and wow okay super bitter oh it's yerba right so what is yerba symbia i actually should know but it's right so but anyway does that mean but it's bitter but then you keep adding water throughout the day to the same set of leaves so okay yeah and i thought this was really cool and often also had patches like these awesome like the ghost and the little and i
little ghost
we'll be figuring out how to iron those on somewhere oh and also i'm wearing my ethereum
i was figuring that
looks really cool yeah that looks like is that a sock like soccer jersey kind of thing yeah
oh i love it that's really cool that's a cool cool swag very cool swag i saw some good chips chipped social nail swag too i saw a few things like that i'm trying to think of the other swag i saw those are the big ones so cool very cool
amazing amazing
yeah so we will be back wednesday regular time i think i don't think we have a guest right
we've have a couple people that we're trying to schedule but we'll probably schedule for after the holiday there is a holiday on thursday in the us thanksgiving is thursday so we will be off thursday and friday because we got fam at home and my kiddo's home the whole week i don't know about yours so we'll be doing that oh let me shout this out i don't know anything about this but design the design channel is having a design competition with minted merch if you wanted new swag so go check that out or if you're a designer go check that out if you wanna design something alright i think that's it i think we gotta wrap this up it's been fun it's been a minute glad you're back i'm glad you're back i know
