gm farcaster it is friday happy friday june 14th 2024 happy flag day also many things today
oh that was not on on my mind
no no not a big flag day celebrator and you are here with nana schroff and adrianne for 29 minutes of farcaster news to start your day and we have like a ridiculous amount of things to talk about but they basically fall into 2 categories there's a few things but it's pretty much long casts and feet and that's it that's a lot of feet
i think we might have a smaller crowd today because we did warn them about the feet so but i do see a few folks here so gm gm and let's get into it
if you're triggered by feet you this is not
the show for you k just listen to the audio don't watch the video if you're triggered by feet
but people don't open warp past
yeah don't open warp past either we are the brave ones so but we'll start with the big news which is long casts so this is from varun farcaster now supports 3 x longer casts long casts can have up to a 100 a100 1024 simple characters the first few lines will show up in the feed and you can tap show more to read the rest warp cast supports creating long casts on mobile and on web you may need to restart your mobile app to get the latest changes a big thanks to vripan df sanjay j t gt peril sds and many others who contributed to getting this over the finish line few more notes on this psa longer cast will merge into hubs later tonight so that was yesterday from dwr and this should help non latin character languages since the limit will go from 320 bytes to 10 to 1,024 bytes and of course now we see a few things like this this is from matthias i am matthias and you just have to keep scrolling and scrolling and eventually you will get to the end of his cast
very lo very long cast
neat his whole hill cast was neat so and then did say i didn't pull the cast but today dan did say they will fix that so i guess they did not anticipate the china
i'm sure they did how could you
how could you not but maybe not so you are very publicly anti lung cast so how
do you feel about this change i've already said i i knew it was a battle i wasn't gonna win so it's fine it's also like it it's not the complete floodgates there's it there's still a limit and so i think this is their way of like you know boiling the frog very slowly and getting me on board because i'm like okay this one this is fine let's slow it's fine i think it
was a really great point about non latin characters too and needing you know like some there's some very legit reasons for needing a few extra spaces there you know what i mean so i think that was we
have our english bias and not everyone's typing and
yeah in
the abcs
in the abcs so i think it's i think it's fine i'm happy about it cause i have often oftentimes needed just a few more characters and a lot of times it relates to links not links but links web links
not at links not
at links not at links nothing about you sorry sorry links but actual links and it'll take up so much space that you know it makes it much more difficult to just say and even if it's not a long cast and i'm talking like usually when i'm talking about jamfarcast or something like that and i need to like write one more thing and i have to go into a whole new cast so i do think it's helpful but we'll see
yeah well we'll see so far so good but it's only been a few hours varun forgot to thank varun forgot a few people in his thank you i think
you wanna
yes he forgot to thank jamfarcaster
for contributing to the to the discussion conversation before any meaningful change goes out i think people provide input how sure they ultimately end up with a design you know it's like the the more inputs that come in the more ideas may the best one win so i think we did a really good job causing that conversation i think pinata did a great job
in rejecting yeah justin really yeah did a great job with that
so just shout out to us yeah i'd say to everyone who contributed into
everybody was talking in that yeah there was that very long thread and i think a lot of things got hashed out in that thread and i think that was helpful to get a better idea of what does the community really need want etcetera so i think you're you're right that's a really good point so yeah clap clap
we did great great job justin pluto of minds appreciate you a few more notes before we dive into all the feet would greatly appreciate this from linda would greatly appreciate help amplifying that bounty caster has a 175 k in community bounties for on chain summer build a thon we wanna help as many devs get paid for building on base so there you go there's a lot of bounties out there now for in in addition to the bounties that base has base has their own grants that are set up for build a thon but this is in addition to that there's a lot more 175,000 so make sure you check that out especially if you are a dev but there may be a few things in there that you're not a dev so go give a look this from jacek in rarible and this is explaining pulling off some magic tricks with our d gen friends dollar sign d gen is now live on rarible and on base and we're celebrating with the commemorative open edition stay tuned for and it's all redacted out but i do see the word points so i assume points information soon live now on rarible so this is really cute rarible being one of the ogs of the nft space so that's pretty exciting and this from art lou wouldn't it be interesting to scroll a channel and see what bot or not rates each caster see whether they hold a power badge compare the moderated feed with the recent fee anon mode in screenshot try out our freemiumbcbhshowlightclient and then h t h angel for allowing us to incorporate ratings so this is pretty cool this is a lite client i guess so i'm not sure what that means but i'll have to ask art lou i don't think he's in our chat today but super interesting that they're experimenting with this i do like the idea of having like bought or not bought or not just like jump in and start raiding however i have noticed lately when i use it that i'm getting a lot of not enough original casts so the bots may have you know become just total reply guys so now we need botter to actually check replies too and take that into consideration cause i'm seeing like clearly this is a bot it's one of the ai bots but it's not casting original it's only replying so it's not getting picked up as a bot so they're getting smarter
the the ai bots are i i don't understand them i don't who is it who's falling for this besides horse facts
well i think horse facts is actually doing it on purpose but yeah he's having conversations with the reply bot he's using them as part of his his his lore he's so funny it's so funny but i i mean it is they are actually very kind so i was in the i think it was i was typing something in the nouns channel and there was a bit of a discussion happening a little of a dust up if you will and the bot is being really overly nice it's like this is how i know this is a bot in a dao channel like it's being way too kind and saying it understands my feelings i was like this does not belong in this channel because nobody in this dao has ever been this nice
so read the room read the room bot
yeah you're being too kind this is how you're giving yourself away by being way too kind this is from you which i we haven't really talked much about the writing hackathon and we do need to make sure that people are aware please share the themes for next week's writing hackathon tutorials and practical guides reaching new people the future of why i love farcaster and obviously all related to farcaster but you can write other things as well if i understand correctly but it is a farcaster writing hackathon
yeah my favorite thing is i drop the themes listen there's 4 tutorials or sorry four themes or topics
yeah i
did almost anything you're writing about for archaistr could probably fit into one of these absolutely they're really broad however how many seconds do you think between dropping the topics and when someone says i wanna write about something else anyway
i'd say about 2 2 seconds maybe 2 3
yeah i'll take the under on that but of course the answer is write whatever tf you want it's right it's a i don't care it's the the goal really the goal is to write things about farcaster fiction is not what like
i'm like i'm like i'm like i'm like i'm like fiction i forgot about the fiction
i was
like yes you should definitely write that fictional story that involves purple noggles i love that please do that that's so phenomenal
the purpose of a hackathon right is to create is to create and and generate so i can't wait just that people are gonna write great things
yep it's very exciting and if you want to learn more there is a writing hackathon channel and you'll see a cast in there from adrianne that says some details and logistics that kind of breaks down everything so here's the basics some details and logistics for next week's writing hackathon what is it an event to bring writers together to contribute to the farcaster canon solve current challenges within the community and help create farcaster's future a simple goal publish essays about barcaster one rule we ship and then there's more info in the thread so very exciting i'm looking forward to the url version it'll be a lot of fun few more things we've got this from henry at henry from privy one consumer crypto is a coming some fun stats on what we've been seeing at privy 7,500,000 plus total users onboarded across apps we serve 200 x maugrowth y o y o y so that's month monthly active users year over year 100 of 1,000,000 usd transacted 500 ks plus transactions just imagine if he had chance to write a longer cast he could have written those things
oh wow
500 transactions in the last month alone that's pretty amazing and then a little bit more why we believe it's because we have a caliber of builder in the space incredible teams redefining the experiences you can build on chain making it easier for anyone to benefit this is just a start we'd love to help you share amazing products if you're building in our space and then you can see docs privy io and if you're not familiar with privy they have the account abstraction type of wallets and easier sign in and all of that kind of thing so they're making it really easy for the non crypto natives to onboard to different sites and apps so
yeah you know what's so cool about this that it i kind of just in my parallels to the web 2 world so yeah companies like okta that did or kind of single sign on and and user logins and oauth and all that for the web 2 world are always putting out reports that they can do based on kind of like industry wide reports like we know who's logging into what i think okta puts out a report every year that talks about kind of like what are the most popular applications that enterprises are using because they know who's logging in to what with companies like privy so they're logging people in so they know who's onboarding like how are we reaching people how many wallets but then they have information on the wallets so yeah even once you it's not just the i mean like listen they're they're handling kind of the onboarding and that's great right but when they have information on wallets you can also just get the information on total transact like what's being transacted and right
and yeah you can do a deep much deeper dive and really start to figure out i you know i say this a lot to my colleagues in academia who didn't really listen but like there's so much data richness in blockchain that you don't even need permission you don't have to pay for you don't it's not behind a garden you can dig in and that's really huge for research really huge it's huge
yeah even right and it's like we don't even need privy to do this like anyone has it but it just the fact that from you know it's like the research that they can put out right is so interesting politar minds just casted an article about saas and kind of the the end of saas and one of the things i pulled out of it was like the the whole business model of saas and like the the pitches to the enterprise like to businesses is your data's everywhere people are gonna take your data and put it into spreadsheets so we're just doing that you know we we do that we're just collecting all your data we're putting it in one place we give you a better ui then we profit and right in the world guess what your data is all over but it's all over on a blockchain
yeah yeah it changes everything it changes everything and all of that data collection and analysis will just keep getting easier too with ai so you add that in together and that's pretty powerful so yeah very interesting so thanks for that henry
about feet
yeah wait we're almost there one one couple more quick quick things if i can get this from dan this is your background today this is kangaroo but does not want to load for me it's probably because of yeah you can
look at my background ready
oh there we go i'll throw this up because this was kangaroo with the poly market edition there you go that's kangaroo this is kangaroo with the poly market bucket hat
got a rare one
got a rare one got a rare one pretty funny okay now i have
a market intern is ready to take to dethrone nonlinear in the meme game i think you're right i think it's i don't know if i were if i were johnny i'd be i'd be a little threatened
be you're in danger you're in danger johnny polymarket intern is quite fun i honestly didn't think it was a person but now i'm starting to believe that it just might be it is and are we gonna
we're gonna have that person him right them her whoever it is we're trying to get polymarket intern on our show maybe next week
oh cool very excited yeah they were supposed to be here this week but they were too busy alright so let's move on they're too bit too busy too busy they're too busy let's move on to all of the feet okay so far caster i barely tell her before we get into all of the memes and there are many and how did this happen so let's explain what how this all came about so kekkers
prior to posting this had posted about toe spacers and why they're why they're important why they're helpful and then had a particular brand that she was buying and put it out there and this is a couple weeks ago this has been going on for a while it somehow hit this like you know trajectory in the past few days that has gone like ballistic it's really funny and this is very similar to the air quality monitors and that whole thing that went on for a while where one person got it another person got it and it just kind of rolls so kekers did post why are toast facers good for you you can go take that and give that a look if you're wondering but this is how this began and then everyone went crazy and started posting what they had purchased and now we have just meme after meme of toast so these are link's toes right now i don't think those are really his toes i do love this from phil this is hilarious speaking of the internet we've got the toast phaser we've got the jealous boyfriend meme and the toast phaser in the internet for those of you just listening oh and i'm looking
by the way on that screen i didn't even see puncton replied with tech twitter's gonna be all over this in a month yeah which his response so apparently forecaster is now upstream of tech twitter
i guess so i think we are a few other in honor of our cult leader keckers.eth i feel obliged to request refer to ourselves as spacers may each of your toes wiggle wide and free that was from just build also a toe spacer channel popped up so if you didn't catch that part we now have a toe spacer channel i think all my toe links are not opening which is hilarious let me see if i can get the mobile
someone who doesn't like toes
someone who doesn't like toes
decided to do a denial of service attack on webcast so we don't have
to show them i think
that's what's going on whoever whoever you are thank you you're doing god's work i don't really wanna see feet on my time oh my god there's so much heat it's enough
there's so much feet but it's also there's been a lot of funny things so this is the actual toast facer that was originally i think shared and this is from chun my what started to feel some tomo so giving it a try and then it's just like hitting like escape velocity the cultural impact of such a small channel is unparalleled this from dan spaced dow by the way then there was a dow that was started by kia so kia started a party dow for dollar sign toes so that was spun up this week and i believe there is an airdrop going to channel participants so if you're in the toast facer channel this might be coming your way this is when you know you've just gone a little bit crazy this was from varun i hope this comes up because this is really funny warbed cast now shows replies for everyone writing a thoughtful reply to a popular user will get you more distribution and more followers you can also do this
and and dan had post talk you can also do this and dan had posted like the little feet shoes and pugsen replied as oh are these effective was dan's question and pugsen replied as birth control yes so yeah and then this from robin this trend is so vile going to immediately block and save to camera roll any feet pics on the tl which that was pretty funny so it just goes on from there you gotta love when you really do have to love when these things sort of take on their own life and we haven't had one in a little bit so this is pretty funny but if you think about like the from a consumer crypto perspective it is really interesting to think about it like how the influence piece of this works within the sort of social network and it's pretty pretty funny this from call kojo by the way the cohost the joint
kickers kickers needs to profit can we just yeah
i know
somehow there's now a lot of there's a whole
share affiliate link
there's a whole foot economy tow economy happening in work cast and she better be getting a piece of it
i did love this thought process there from kojo the cohort that jones joins during the toe era will forever be scarred hey i'm new to warp cast what's going on behold my perfectly spaced toes yeah what's interesting is
is that going on is that a h a a a h n
yeah i know interesting
i don't know if that's a is that trying to be a boston accent or something maybe but justin ahn or is that a deep link to justin ahn who might have been the first one to to post his actual feet it might be in a toast spacer and that was a few weeks ago so should you think like these things like it feels like it just happened overnight but there's always that something happening very very quietly i think it was a few weeks ago he posted so i don't know if that's a callback in
him these this has been going on for a bit this is not not as new as it may appear because and how i know this is i kept pulling links and then going no i'm not going there and i've done that for a couple weeks now and i'm like no no no and then it was like okay fine
fine you're your toes this was this was from poly market the poly market intern holding yeah holding feet and dance danza thing this was funny from beta shop we know it's jumped the shark when they're asking air stack ai give me the list of followers of the channel toast pacer on barcaster and their connected addresses so i have a feeling it was related to this yep and kia and then i'm gonna stop here because i just thought this was really funny the take on higher wider is a lifestyle so horse facts for the win very well done horse facts yeah so i don't know how long do we think this one's gonna last what do you think
i think i think this one has staying staying power
do you it might it might have a little bit of staying power it's got legs
if it's got feet if it's got feet it's got legs so it's gonna stick around
one last one i almost forgot about this this is a take on cast out cast toe from yes to crypto ready to step up who will be the sole survivor really yeah s o l e i mean perfect players must outfeed outshoe and out toe their rivals in a series of foot themed challenges from nail biting races to toe tally epic standoffs only the best will tow the line to victory get ready to put your best foot forward in cast toe so thank you for that little cast out play that was pretty funny we have a very
well done dan's name well done he's i forget which i forget i don't know if we pulled it where he's it's the spongebob one looking out at you know behind the the window of people having fun and it's like the tech twitter or crypto twitter saying forecaster's dead you know forecaster's dead and we're just like toast toast toast toast yeah
that this one it wasn't coming up for me yeah it was it was doing a little a little fail but there it is yeah forecaster's dead it's not funny it's all bots ivory towers feet memes
right
no i think psa please stop having fun cynical people on crypto twitter have a narrative to maintain
yeah exactly yeah we're still having fun over here even even when the market's down even when it's supposedly dead actually everything feels a little off this week there definitely has been a vibe i think it is market vibes where everybody just feels a little wonky but on on crypto twitter as well i've noticed this so it's a little bit of crankiness over there
yeah this week's been great for me
maybe it was the potato i don't know might've been the potato so speaking of you're you're still in it you're still in cast out next week should be interesting how are you feeling how are you feeling about the game
i'm feeling fine i'm looking forward to it to be over so we can really do a full rehash i can't wait i can't wait
for all the behind the scenes and i have to actually get an evaluation of everything and i think probably pushing this all into 2 weeks would have been better so i was trying to
learn it's the beta we just say it's the beta it's a lot of the limitation
lot of lessons
yeah if you were following i had to break garl alliance yesterday and it's heartbreaking it was awful
heartbreaking still
i don't wanna talk about it
okay it's too raw too raw too soon
