and i'm going to record it as well and i my idea too is that we'll have the recording available for those who wake up a little later than 8:30 am in the eastern time that sounds like that's all so fancy coffee going on there big time

0:24Speaker 1

yeah it's good stuff and i'm addicted there's been a lot of talk of like the anti coffee on farcaster i guess

0:33Speaker 0

that was really funny it's cool alright so you got like i get it alright you don't like coffee take the beverage of your choice

0:41Speaker 1

i'm also

0:42Speaker 0

drinking water with my flamingo cup so yeah this will be a common staple

0:48Speaker 1

so no i was just gonna say well yeah i was gonna say about our time like it's morning for us but it's obviously global community so it is good to record very global

0:56Speaker 0

yeah exactly so that's what i was thinking is that you know the way we'll do this is we'll be live on unlonely which i've been wanting to do for a while since i you know really joined firecrustr and got to know like the space better and started to watch unlonely and i was like you know this is really cool i like the idea of a web 3 native streaming youtube's got a lot of noise so it's kinda hard to even find your audience there so i feel like this was a perfect way to like

1:23Speaker 1

i

1:23Speaker 0

don't know and really also to dive into like what's happening on parkcaster i think there's so much amazing stuff going on every day that we maybe miss or don't really unpack so that's that was kind of the idea behind this and also just you know i just kinda wanted to see you more and hang out so it's a little bit of that too and stephanie too so i i actually met up with stephanie and a few other people and she'll be doing this wednesday and and we had i mean friday and we had a chat and i was like i'm thinking about streaming she's like we

1:54Speaker 1

used to stream all

1:55Speaker 0

the time i love streaming i like to stream cooking and i'm like okay this could be interesting so maybe she'll make breakfast one day

2:02Speaker 1

nice and

2:04Speaker 0

i was like you know what else would be great with this queen of the scenius adrienne so that's why i was like adrienne do you wanna do this you wanna get on here so and i do just

2:15Speaker 1

call me the queen yes the queen

2:17Speaker 0

i'm gonna call you the queen the queen of the scenius i think the queen of the scenius is a great like great title i mean that's a fantastic title so we're we are live this is our first stream this is a very soft launch stealthy launch i didn't wanna make too much noise and we can and we had tech problems like right right off the bat so that's why i didn't wanna make too much noise but i wanna dive in so adrian like what are you seeing on firecast in the past few days it's like jumping out to you that's interesting that people should be taking a look at like what's what's capturing your attention

2:53Speaker 1

okay so obviously highlight for me is the farcaster channel

2:58Speaker 0

yeah definitely

3:00Speaker 1

and and kelly we've talked about this like so i joined farcaster i wanna say november so i'm coming up less than a year like and wow and you know and and loved it right away and got right in and very active and and you know i tend to take a feminist slant to my entire life but i'm also constantly surrounded by men and i fucking love men and hanging around with guys and i work in tech and like so but early on i kinda found the girls in farcaster and and by the way someone posted on farcaster yesterday that new york times article about girls on the internet yes it was like i'm a woman in my life but i'm a girl on the internet and anyway so

3:43Speaker 0

that was a great by the way yeah for those who if you haven't seen that like go into the farcast her h e r channel and you'll see that post and it was really interesting i had i read that too it grabbed my attention for sure and yeah so dig into that that's really interesting yeah that i feel the same way if you call me girl on the internet i'm totally fine if you call me ma'am anywhere in the world like no just no like call me girl before you call me ma'am like oh that's so bad so your journey so you've gone since november like you're pretty early to broadcast or like really early when launch not much before that

4:22Speaker 1

right couple years okay it had been but i always say even when i'm i mean it was still on test net we're only on main net in the last few weeks

4:32Speaker 0

that's right

4:32Speaker 1

so right so even when i'm joining everyone's talking about like oh it's too late and and yeah and and i keep i'm like we're on a test net it's there's it's not open like you still i had to you know you're still dm ing you know dwr for her

4:48Speaker 0

founder to get on twitter to get an invitation which is fantastic that's funny

4:55Speaker 1

and he's done a phenomenal job you know not without critique but he seems to take it all but i remember just even in like december you know when he's like okay the word of the day is this dm me on twitter and i remember thinking like do you need do you need help with this and it seems like how are you doing this so even this would i mean i don't know if i'd call farfetch or even live today

5:20Speaker 0

no it's not really you're right it's still in it's really in a beta ish stage maybe a beta point 3 or 4 but yeah what well wait a minute which animal are we up to dolphin 4 so dolphin do we go past often i don't think so so

5:36Speaker 1

yeah you know the names can you count out do you

5:40Speaker 0

well pack a bison

5:44Speaker 0

dolphin something like that i think that was right

5:47Speaker 1

sounds right

5:47Speaker 0

i think that was right i the c i'm not positive on but i feel like it was capybara or am i making that up might have been something else now i don't know now i'm now i'm questioning myself luckily i have nfts from almost all of those you can go back and check i think miss the alpaca i think i just didn't understand what was happening and i think i grabbed the bison and then from there and dolphins are actually one of my favorite animals so that was like oh i have a tattoo a dolphin tattoo as a matter of fact so alright we're sliding back to what's exciting right now on farcaster so let's go back to farcaster so what is farcaster adrianne so farcast her why was this like exciting this week

6:29Speaker 1

yeah it's just a channel for you know it's for women but not exclusive and and obviously we've been opening up channels for all sorts of topics and i kinda made the joke i think ted started at least this recent surge of like hey maybe we want a space

6:46Speaker 1

and i kinda made the joke i'm like well you've got channels for the nba the nhl the soccer

6:53Speaker 0

f one

6:54Speaker 1

for cricket like there were like 5 different sports

7:00Speaker 1

and and the thing with women the reason i don't always love doing the women is obviously like not all women have everything in common with each other like i i i do align on interest not on gender so but this idea of it's there there's something nice about just kind of i don't know having having the space for for for us so i was happy and and kelly you know this i'm not a collector i know i am but i love web 3 i love blockchain crypto i'm like super into just the philosophy and the technology and forecast her was the first kind of like i was like i just oh i get i okay i'm gonna collect that nft so i collected it

7:48Speaker 0

did you make who created that one maybe dan was it dan okay i i just kind of like appeared on my feed and i was like man i mean it really like i do that thing that i tell my students not to do which is like degen into things without really thinking too much i was just like oh pretty mint it you know it's just like but not even not not even like looking to see who made this what happened what is this i was just like oh pretty mint

8:14Speaker 1

okay why do you tell your students not to do that

8:16Speaker 0

safety reasons you have to take yeah safety reasons just to like take a minute make sure you're and that's obviously the right way to go is you know take a minute understand what you're minting and i don't mint randomly on any link but if it's on zuora and it's on farcaster i'm like i'm probably gonna mint it i like it you know i'm gonna go quickly and mint it i have a nfts do you own wait

8:39Speaker 1

before i answer that can i just also like so one of the reasons i like our relationship and one of the reasons yep why is because i can bridge the worlds of like i'm not and ask all the stupid questions so can i play that role and just ask all the stupid questions that i have so yeah as okay 100%

9:01Speaker 0

and we were hold on before you do that let me slide back just a little bit so far caster is now the channel a channel on forecaster just so we put a bow on that one a little bit i think if you will that it just gives you a place where you can find the other women really like for me that's been like the biggest thing in the past couple of days is i've followed like 8 new women that i didn't know were on broadcaster so that was like huge because we talk about like being able to elevate them and sometimes you just can't find them because they're not showing up in your feed so that's been really awesome so now go to your go to your ask any question like go

9:38Speaker 1

yes and then by the way when i first got into when i was first kinda doing my wallet and got my first nft and and whenever and this was in 2020 like about 2 years ago there were there was nothing but tutorials and advice on how to onboard safely and what to look out for and i don't see as much of that anymore yeah

9:57Speaker 0

i think you're right

9:59Speaker 1

so but everything changes so fast so i still have questions and i'm like okay well and you know and i've kind of learned how to figure things out and oh and i just by the way so much to talk about it going on 3 different tangents but i just bridged the base this week

10:15Speaker 0

oh just this week wow

10:16Speaker 1

good for you and thank you and that was an example of something where it was like if it was 2 years ago i would have had to have read yes tons of technical docs and really really understood what is base how does it work what is safe and and by the way and i would go to the ux and something would break and i would kinda have to i mhmm i just trust and i was like oh i know base it's you know l 2 i know them actually it's jesse it's jesse back you know coinbase so it's like you have all these kind of and the user experience was so easy i was it's just because i was on zuora right oh this is the forecast for nft which was on base right

10:55Speaker 0

oh that's right it was our oh so that's why you needed base oh i didn't even have that

10:59Speaker 1

i was like oh

11:00Speaker 0

i love that

11:00Speaker 1

so just the user of like okay well you need to bridge to base okay i get that i gotta send my eth from my main net to bay it was just so easy i didn't read up on it it just worked and it was

11:12Speaker 0

and we're getting there right i think it's just like really summarize like where we've come from you know we're we're and and we're we still have a ways to go before it's even easier for like the normies but it's gonna be so much easier and like every day somebody you know usually somebody who's on broadcaster makes something easier for us you know and i think that's fantastic but i i talk about that with students all the time like when i started in crypto it was in 2017 and it was to buy cryptokitties because i saw an article that said you can learn about smart contracts from these kitties and i'm like what's a smart contract and then i went down this hole for like a week but it took me a week to figure out what is metamask how to add it where to find this eth thing you i couldn't i don't think you could even buy like fractions at that point or i couldn't figure it out like i bought a whole eth but it was only $700 at the time so it wasn't like you know it was right before it went really low when i really should have bought it so it was really you're right it was so hard and it really took a lot of work and now it's so much easier and it's really getting easier every day like they actually would on chain summer made it super easy within coinbase just to be able to collect some nfts like you just click the button and it was there so really yeah i agree it's getting so much easier so you what other questions or thoughts did you have then when you were well like that you said that you had some questions

12:44Speaker 1

okay so i and even this week people are posting up like anyone know of a scam around my friend had their wallet drained oh right

12:51Speaker 0

that's

12:51Speaker 1

always that's always been in the back of my mind of like how when you transact what is safe and

12:58Speaker 0

great question

12:59Speaker 1

in the world i coined this term safe to empty wallet and so it came from a from this in my life in my life as a life philosophy that i actually pulled from the software world i do safe to fail experiments so in my in my day job i'm trying to help teams create safe to fail experiments as you're building software i started taking that as my life like philosophy which is how do you do safe to fail experiments gm forecaster one of them like we talk oh should we do a morning show we don't sit and plan it all out but sounds like something interesting and it's safe to fail

13:38Speaker 0

right exactly exactly

13:39Speaker 1

so when i so when i was doing when i first started transacting and do i was like okay i get the wallet and now i'm scared that someone can just i do something in my entire everything in my wallet is drained well how do i i should have a safe to empty wallet if i fuck up and my wallet gets drained it's fine there's nothing in it that you know that if something happens it's safe safe to empty but my wallet is no longer safe to empty i need to figure out how to manage wallets better and so that's kind of on my do that adrianne but my question was going back to what you said was if you see an nft on zuora and it came from farcaster and like i didn't think about that so is that a fair yeah that's a fair question i'm trying to

14:24Speaker 0

see if i can show you this so i recently i know where i'll go that should let me do it okay so i'm gonna go to base paint and show you

14:41Speaker 0

i wanna show i don't think that'll work because that'll mess me up there never mind let me go to zorro

14:45Speaker 1

we're we're sending you out because

14:47Speaker 0

actually yeah we have like 2 seconds

14:49Speaker 1

but 3 minutes to wrap up too so we could also just do the tech like all this detail stuff i was gonna

14:55Speaker 0

see if i could pull it pull it up on the screen but you know what i recently done was add something called pocket universe and it's ex an extension on so i haven't figured that out for mobile yet but on chrome it's a chrome extension it will pop up as you go to sign anything so not even purchase anything but just sign anything with your wallet it'll pop up and say yes this is safe no this isn't this is what is this is what's gonna happen when you do this action it'll pop up this little message and that's what i was gonna try and show you but i'll show you after this little message that says yes this is safe or this is going to take from you x amount of eth and you're gonna get these nfts it showed you exactly what's gonna happen before you click it and that to me has been a bit of a game changer because i did see you know it kind of relates to vitalik having this hack that happened this week with on twitter and then that led to somebody posting a link that was malicious and and a lot of people getting their wallet drains so that you know those kind of extensions and there's a few of them but pocket universe is is one that i've used that seems to work really well so i'd recommend that for sure i think that's a great one for that safety check that i like that safe yeah safe to empty ideas interesting so i think that's a good that's a good way to go for sure yeah

16:19Speaker 1

and my husband gave the example of like look and this is actually you've got a bank account that's not safe to empty but my wallet where i carry cash around you know back in the day when we had cat you know when we would yeah when i was a cash full society but it was like oh you know okay well i got $20 in my wallet if my wallet gets stolen my life isn't ruined

16:38Speaker 0

right right exactly exactly and we are already at 20 minutes i wonder what we're and you know what's funny is was like oh what are we gonna talk about like we really should plan i knew this was gonna i knew it was gonna be easy so there's so what what are you looking forward to today on farfetch or anything that you've seen that you're going to be following or anything happening that you've seen on the

17:04Speaker 1

in the scenius

17:07Speaker 1

so the apology moment of zen episodes dropped so there's been just a lot of discussion about those topics that are continuing i think several people are jumping onto a zoom later today to maybe even stream that and talk so excited

17:24Speaker 0

to be following that that's really interesting i gotta look for that that's very cool and i'll be on so one of the things i'm gonna just really quickly say is that nouns descended on farcaster yesterday and warp cast into the channel it has been very slow to get going and then yesterday it was like oh they're all here they all found it because one person was like we're going over there so chris corella congratulations you finally did it so you finally made it over right good job chris little shout out alright that's 21 minutes you're done with your coffee we're done with what's happening with our cast room we're gonna be iterating on this we'll be back on friday with stephanie joining us so we'll we'll have some fun here i'm excited so thanks for joining us and let's see if i can stop our stream and goodbye have a great morning have a great day
