🚨 Fundraiser Alert! 🚨 Hey Farcaster family, looking for your help and DEGEN tips! A family member has the chance to join a rare and relatively expensive volleyball club, and I'm raising funds to make it happen. Here's how it works: - Current $DEGEN price: ~half a cent - For every legit tip I receive on this cast (or QC by me), I will match it - I'll donate matched amount at 1 full cent per DEGEN Example: - You tip 100 $DEGEN - I match 100 --> Total 200 * 0.01 = $2 goes to the fundraiser And to show my commitment, I promise NOT to sell any $DEGEN related to this fundraiser -- will hodl it for at least one full year from today. Willing to show payment details to someone I know IRL who can vouch, if needed.

Join us tomorrow at 12p ET to hear from the /purple Chair candidates. Space will be recorded via Aburra. https://aburra.xyz/space/243 @pichi @1a35e1 @leopastel @emr.eth

I submitted the Farcaster Writing Hackathon to the unplugged track. Appreciate everyone’s feedback and support 🙏 https://devfolio.co/projects/farcaster-writing-hackathon-4b72

Since arriving back in Massachusetts last week, I’ve fallen down a Karen Read rabbit hole cuz that’s all anyone is talking about. Currently listening to this pod with human lie detector Janine Driver. Fascinating. https://www.youtube.com/live/TCZvb6b5rW4?si=o5T-HJPFSMhm3usY

What's the difference between life and the crypto market? Both have their ups and downs. But unlike crypto, in real life, we don't lose our minds over a bad day. Just relax and keep moving forward. Crypto will reward you, just like life does.

State of the market.

Thank you for all the DEGEN; I don’t know what this is or how to see it but I appreciate and understand the positive sentiment.

Can we please not degen tip the respectable journalist that just joined? Would prefer that we pretend to be a serious community for at least a week.

The only way to grow on farcaster is to reply to people, individually, with meaningful replies, but unfortunately a lot of people don’t want to put in the work I’ve yet to see someone make this list and not have a good following It’s a very different audience than CT

Virtually all of the people on Farcaster with large audiences: 1. Don't have large audiences elsewhere (Farcaster is their first time with a large audience) 2. Didn't know me or Varun and didn't know each other. The "Farcaster OG scene" is net new creation of Farcaster. 3. Were early and stuck around when everyone made fun of Farcaster (and people still do) 4. Continued to cast interesting stuff, casted in channels when we suggested people cast in channels 5. Warpcast onboarding asks all users for their interests 6. Based on the interests, we pair the account with an initial set of follows 7. There are 200+ accounts on the list, weighted toward accounts that get the most engagement / drive retention, but a large group of people benefit 8. On our list to improve, but the reality is outside of "I should be on the list!" haven't seen any concrete proposals to improve

Unpopular opinion: Warpcast is very circle-jerk oriented at this point. Despite this issue being raised by many people here, it seems like the team doesnt find it important. https://x.com/safetyth1rd/status/1808419820322660481?s=46

Min version is rolling out today!

fund the ogs launching products. sad to me that things like scoop, castout, etc are not getting grants (or the founders feel like they can't ask for one) but are the people providing the most brand value. it's a no brainer. these are the "builders" we were always supposed to fund

The first community pool reward will go live in ~45 mins The first distribution will be $10,000 and given to holders of the top 100 creators on Farcaster by engagement relative to following here’s a quick overview of how we calculate engagement:

Warpcast spam filtering has improved quite a bit! We're turning off priority mode for one week as an experiment. If people are happy, we may get rid of priority mode forever. If you see spam, you can help us by tapping the "three dot" menu on the top right of each cast and hitting Report.

5 months ago, we had recorded fewer than 40 episodes, had 37 subscribers, less than 800 listens across podcast platforms, and less than 300 mints. As of today, we've live streamed 124 episodes (plus a bunch of bonus ones not counted), have over 300 subscribers, 11k listens across podcast platforms, and over 5k mints. Huge thanks to all the listeners, chatters, friends, hypersub subscribers, sponsors and people who make Farcaster newsworthy enough so that we can do what we love. We 💜 you.

Guys we need your help! Brian is trapped at SEC Headquarters as we speak. Gary has him locked away in the interrogation room. Thankfully, a group of incredibly skilled hackers from a group called the /1337 Skulls were able to tap into the intercoms system at the SEC and give all of us the ability to communicate with Brian directly. Here's the catch: we can only command Brian to move using the four cardinal directions: N, E, S, W. When asking Brian to move, go to the /brians-rescue channel and enter the command: !movebrian <dir> If your command is correct, Brian gets one step closer to the exit. If any of you enter an incorrect command, Brian will be sent back to the start. Work together to help Brian escape Gary's evil clutches. But the last of you to enter the correct command wins the entire round. Good luck!
