Gm Farcaster Ep130 Wednesday, July 17, 2024

Always be wary in the DMs. (Scam)

have we tried banning them yet?

"I want reverse chronological feed" "We aren't focused on that. Try one of these 5 apps. You'll also help the ecosystem by growing other clients." "I want reverse chronological feed" :)

Tonight on Farcaster:

Thanks kindly to everyone who gave Warps and tips — very grateful for your generosity and inspired by the model of a mutually supportive social media community. I’m pleased to announce the launch of /dropglobalnews which will be a forum for sharing global news and analysis. Onward!

Well this is cool -- frame from @mattkim incorporates a live stream and you can mint animals that are spotted. Minted a hartebeest on Safaricaster. Proceeds go to Namib Desert conservation 🫡

When I get enough Warps I am going to start a channel focused on global news and commentary. It will also feature articles from a forthcoming news website launched by myself and colleagues. I am going to aim to just earn the Warps if possible.

Used @neynar no-code Frame Studio to create an archive of all Galazio Kitchen episodes that can be accessed in my channel :) It was really fun to make! I'll keep adding to the frame as I share more episodes 💜

Galazio Kitchen - A Farcaster Cooking Show 🍋 All episodes linked in the frame below :) https://frames.neynar.com/f/0097b433/2bef3277

🚨 Polymarket 🤝 Nate Silver 🚨

Introducing Safaricaster 🦁 ‼️ Livestream the Namib Desert inside a Farcaster frame ‼️ Encounter a wild animal to mint a personalized NFT on @base.base.eth Touch grass (sand) directly on Warpcast w/ other fauna watchers 🤩 https://safaricaster.xyz

Ok banger

THERE ARE NO REWARDS FOR RUNNING A HUB Not now, not in the future. It will only cost you money.

When your Hub upgrades, you'll be prompted to ack a message saying that there are no rewards for running a Hub. Over 10k people have been tricked into running hubs by youtube videos promising (fake) rewards. This change will discourage those users from running Hubs, which in turn will give us more headroom to scale.

We’ve made a Degen Bridge Claim Form for those who lost funds bridging from Degen Chain to Base. Bridging should be 1:1, so gather your transaction hashes and amounts to get refunded. Sorry for the hassle—your funds shouldn’t be lost over simple bridging! https://gz2b1hncupx.typeform.com/to/bhFzCnh4

1/3 Hey everyone, I’m beyond frustrated with these Degen L3 issues. Bugs like this should never happen, especially when user funds are involved. If you’ve faced a similar problem, I’ll create a form to ensure everyone gets refunded!

Improvement for Warpcast DCs You can now attach a message when sharing a cast via DC. You’re also able to send the same cast / message to multiple people and groups. The button will say “Send separately” to indicate. Live on web and mobile

serious question ahead: we've been having a lot of fun here on farcaster, and using the smaller audience size as a sandbox to play around and try things that we don't normally try on The Bird Website That Shall Not Be Named. is our ✨ bRaNd VoIcE ✨ better on here?

We've revised the draft composer actions spec after implementing the first prototypes. The main change is using postMessage for form-to-client communication, but we've also added a more detailed tech spec. I'm very excited about these, but embedded forms open a new security/safety surface that clients need to approach carefully. I've heard from a lot of builders eager to create composer actions and appreciate your patience while we work out the right approach. If we get it right, it's a foundation for a whole class of new programmable social primitives. https://warpcast.notion.site/Draft-Composer-Actions-7f2b8739ee8447cc8a6b518c234b1eeb

post profile reivew mega thread on learnings almost 70 profiles reviewed ranging in follower count from double to six digits. feedback has officially been sent to everyone who requested it. except for a few very niche cases, everyone's feedback fit into one of 9 broad categories thread below for the /growth curious

Improvements to search on Warpcast Web - Sort results by relevance or recency - Syntax to filter by user and channel (from:@xyz and in:/abc) - Advanced settings ui to configure filters easily

Improvements for DCs on web - Improved drag and drop image uploads - It will also keep your draft message - 1-click react to existing emojis (like Telegram or Slack)

⏰ Time Sensitive Grant Proposal. 🟡 Yellow member Jer @seattlecrypto.eth recently launched /coppanouns, a really neat soccer/football/themed fork of Yellow with bracket-like gamification. 🟡 He mentioned in a cast today that he will be in Miami where the Copa America finals are being held on Sunday, but that ticket prices are prohibitive. 🟡 I propose that Yellow retro reward Jer 0.5 ETH from our grants wallet for his Coppa contributions, which will cover a game ticket to the final if he would like to go. 🟡 Using a 24H Token-gated @ponder poll here to gauge support. https://www.weponder.io/surveys/3625
