gm farcaster it is wednesday july 17th and you are here with nowish professor and guest co host today tony hawk
hi adrian
not adrian filling in the adrienne who is traveling again today so excited to have you here we're gonna warn everybody tony may have to go off screen a couple times because his kiddo is close by or if you
hear teddy in the background you'll know why
i've reached the background you'll know why
every time i reach out to the host to cohost jam firecast or my daycare provider gets sick i don't know what's
going on i think it's a conspiracy yeah i really do i think i think there's there's something going on there she does not want you cohosting i think that's it so probably not probably has no idea what's happening hi good morning good morning patty alright well let's dive in we've got a few different things happening today your your daily reminder you know see tati knows there are no rewards for running a hub not now not in the future it will only cost you money and what they have now done is when you upgrade your hub you'll be prompted to acknowledge a message saying there are no rewards for running a hub and this was from b over 10 k people have been tricked into thinking into 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 so this is causing a lot of problems on the network because you have sort of these excessive hubs running that aren't actually being very helpful so don't do that words don't do that and i did love this this meme as well there are no economic rewards for running a hub in case you needed another reminder so don't do that please people also moving on improvements to search on warp cast web sort results by relevance or recency syntax to filter by user and channel like from colon at username and in colon at slash channel advanced setting ui to configure filters easily so i know some folks have mentioned they've been using the new search feature it's working really well so that's really good to hear because search has definitely been an issue so i'm excited
use it unusable before
unusable like it had no point
i was mostly using it to try to find my own casts and it usually didn't work
i would do the same thing
things yeah
i would do the same thing i could never find anything so that's why i would bookmark and save certain things but i knew i wanted to find again because there's no other way absolutely no other way so this is a huge improvement all these things that seem so small that we take for granted on other platforms become such a huge thing here but you know you're you're starting from the ground up it's gonna it's gonna happen but good to see
i once i once asked an app developer if they were gonna be implementing search and they were like you know search is like google's whole thing right like it's it's its own it's a big deal so yeah making big search is difficult
yeah you know and you think about you know i actually remember the internet before google it was hard actually it was like farcaster before search
were you ask jeeves or dogpile which which
i used yahoo i think i used yahoo pretty much i occasionally used dogpile i did use ask jeeves on occasion never found that one to be that helpful to be honest but i was just like a straight up yahoo kind of person and we'd search on there and it wasn't very helpful that google would have
that pile would have killed it in the crypto era they were the aggregator
true very true wait wasn't dogpile somebody from the crypto era was that that wasn't kevin rose was it it was somebody somebody in the
dig
dig okay that's i'm getting confused he was dig never mind i was like somebody in that era but no another note from dan psa please only report casts where they bought replies before the show more replies above the fold if the replies are already in show more it means we've labeled the account as spammy so this is good to know and good way to distinguish whether or not your replies are spammy
i feel like they have a missed opportunity for dan to post a a pretty sick meme i don't know like that's something like thanks a lot yeah that's a bot thanks we got it
yeah yeah you coulda yeah you coulda tried harder there dan i have i will say that i believe that the spam has gotten better i think they're doing some good job filtering so it does feel like i'm not seeing it as much kinda miss the nice the nice bots you know the ones who are very complimentary but i'm i'm happy that we're getting this under control so this is good
yeah this is more genuine than when you get complimented the same way by 5 different synonyms you know
yes yeah it feels great feels very authentic i i'd said this before but this happened when i was i think it was in the nouns channel and i said something and then all of a sudden i got all these replies that were very nice and complimentary and i'm like okay this have to be bots because no one's this complimentary in a dao it's way too way too nice and friendly
we need we need to recode the bots for dao the dao interactions
yeah they it was very easy to spot they were way too nice very very easy to spot this from dan also improvement for warp cast dcs you can now attach a message when sharing a cast via direct cast you'll also be 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 so this is helpful if you're you know sending something along and you want to explain why exactly you're sending this thing also will be helpful when you send it to the wrong group chat at least they'll understand that it was not meant for them which also happens quite a bit but not as much as it used to so that's good this is from horsebacks we've revised the draft composer action spec after implementing the first prototypes the main change is using postmessage for from to client communication and we've also added a more detailed text back and you can see the full notion here so if you are a dev and have some feedback on this or want to learn more check that out moving on to other news beyond merkel this is from jacek we've made a dgen bridge claim form for those who lost funds bridging from dgenchain to vase bridging should be 1 to 1 so gather your transaction hashes and amounts to get refunded sorry for the hassle your funds shouldn't be lost over simple bridging so there was a big problem with dgen they've had a couple issues but this was fairly recent and a lot of people lost funds in bridging and i jacek had also posted something yesterday about how they are dealing with the various vendors who've been involved that have caused the issues so and
it was pretty spicy i think you could really tell that jacek was at the end of his rope with frustration with that that thread and rightly so i mean you know it's it's there's nothing worse than when you're relying on service providers you know that are supposed to make things easier right because he could've spun up his own chain but he didn't
right exactly it hurt us yeah yeah taddy agrees he's very he's frustrated as well he lost some he lost some d gen in the in the bridging
he's good i don't know what he's doing
he's he's gonna be the native yeah he just sounds like he's having fun back there he's gonna be like a native crypto crypto boy which is kinda kinda cool
native
he had a wallet the 1st day he was born for god's sake so it's pretty impressive
you've heard of jenna this is jen nouner it's the next
yeah nouner it's the next iteration hey this from tony hawk speaking of various problems this was a be very wary of the dms people are starting to use them to drop various like frames and links and things like that so be careful this is not real or if you get a an an airdrop message in your dms and i would say that for any airdrop in your dms chances are it is fake so there's also been one going around for moxie that is also fake so be very wary make sure you're checking the real accounts thanks for sharing that todie that was helpful i hadn't seen that one yet so i guess they hadn't hit me with that in the dms yet so
they did a lot of things right so i it definitely you know it first of all it it did end up in my my spam messages
oh that's good
forecasted it from that perspective but but yeah i mean dgm.pm so it's obviously not the correct url but not that far off either and i'm pretty sure there is an account called d what's what's the account called djembot or something and there is a bot very similar name that replies to you when you've tipped so i could see people being duped by this so you gotta be
yeah they could think it's just that bot that i follow that reminds me of how much i have left to tip for the day or something so yeah be wary be wary of anybody claiming to wanna give you money
sometimes it's sometimes it's true
sometimes it's true but just double check before you connect this was from dan kind of talking about reverse chronological feed i want reverse chronological feed we are focused on that try one of these 5 apps you'll also help the ecosystem by growing other clients i want reverse chronological feed so if you're looking for reverse chronological feed try out supercast herocast butterfly recast dot f c and i think there's one more so the funnier part is that ran tomorrow did comment have we tried banning them yet and dan replied i keep telling them to stop using more of gas but they don't listen so i think this has been the first incident of dan replying to rand so that was amazing but i did love this meme
if randamero is the same do we know if randamero is the same person as the other parody account
i don't i no they're not they're not the same they're definitely different you
have dana pompeo
yeah dana pompeo is a little bit has a little bit more of an edge
uh-huh rand amaro is a is a hilarious name though especially with the at thing
rand amaro rand amaro
i believe that so rand and mara we have had communication in the dcs and they may come on here at some point i believe they are friendly to to orbcast and r and og so they are i think they are a known person just having some fun where i think that dana pempello is a little bit edgier can be a little bit on the mean side and also we saw ted get an alt recently as well and that one's a little i don't know yet i'm i'm i'm not sure if it's friend or foe at the moment but this was last night actually ran demero taking over fc hunched unhinged ted's alt ted's alt yeah that was accurate alina very accurate well done with the meme so yeah this is it it's fun i hope people keep it fun i feel like if as soon as it turns to the mean side we lose it it i you lose me so keep
it keep it fun what's the set the ted's satirical one i'm asking for a friend
it's ted's alt it's called ted's alt i'd rather yeah you can go check it out yourself
it's a part of a better name to be honest it's it's kind of a hobby
yeah it's it's a little boring but it's it's a little spicy it's a little spicy so go check it out yourself but yeah i wasn't i'm not a huge fan of ted's ault i am a big fan of randamara i do think it's funny and i loved this from steve what's one feature you'd like to add on warcast this week go use another client i thought this was a great meme so this actually is on our on our cover as well so great
great photoshop skills as well you gotta give credit where credit's due
it was fantastic could have been a little better we gotta cut that little face out a little better but but not bad and then moving on we've got this from glazio glazio has been doing glazio's kitchen and she's been doing like these little mini cooking 5 minute cooking shows where she's making different dishes and now she put them in a frame so use nenar no code frame studio to create an archive of all the 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 and here is the frame and it's fantastic so it's a lot of fun it has the image of what she made and then links back to the cast where you can actually see the episode in the food channel i believe is where she has them or or maybe she has them in galazio now it's not coming up for me because of course it's not when i want when i need it to but it's really it's really well done i do love the new art frame studio i think it's a huge unlock and we did have our intern creating one for us we're doing some tweaks to it and it'll be out shortly with all our links to all our socials and i think there's a lot of different options for for this it's fantastic so go check it out and you're done you just
you just come out of the womb already knowing how to use name our friends
exactly that's gonna be the next generation it's generation noun right same thing but yeah it's really it's really well done you can see like watch episode will bring you to the link of the cast and next episode shows you the next one it's pretty cool and very well i love the images as well very well done speaking of really cool frames this is from matt kim and it incorporates a live stream where you can mint animals that are spotted and i minted a heartbeast on safari caster and proceeds go to namib desert conservation and i let's hope it will work for me right now but it's pretty cool so it kinda does this refresh almost like animal livestream cams that you see like people will have them outside their house or something to capture like random fox walking by it's like that but in the desert it's pretty good at this watering hole and it's pretty cool of course it's not of course it's not gonna come up when i need it to but it's really cool
did i just say that heartbeast sounds like the next hit show on unlonely
it really does i think that might be our next show it might be the next show we do so this is from matt kim introducing safari caster livestream in namib desert inside a farcaster frame encounter a wild animal to mint a personalized nft on base touch grass sand directly at war cast and with other fauna watchers and it will tell you who's it's not coming up for me right now but it will tell you who's watching as well and if you're the first one who spots an animal you get to mint it so it's pretty cool and there was a really funny thing too where it said there's no animals oh here it is no animals here maybe dan told them to go home i just thought that was funny so it has these little messages that'll pop up as well while you're while you're watching so this
week this week for base builders it'll be this week i built i watched giraffes for
i watched giraffes
in a frame
i watched giraffes in a frame and it was cool it is really cool so go check it out it's not refreshing for me at the moment but i do think this is i'm really excited for what this might mean for live streaming within a frame so i might have a little you know invested in something invested in something like that so that would be fantastic but it's really cool so go check that out matcha introduced the v two pricing engine so introducing matcha on 0x v 2 powered by 0x projects new 0x v 2 pricing engine the best swap prices all in especially in size genius trade route next gen security that keeps funds safe and you can learn more there but also on i'm sorry on friday today is wednesday we will have will warren with us cofounder of matcha and 0x project and we're gonna be on at noon so go check that out and we'll be asking lots of questions about their new v two pricing engine so if you have questions go drop them here we did get already a question from linda who happens to be will's wife so atlinda from bounty caster is married to will and she already gave us a question so go get your questions in and tody you had interviewed the other cofounder a while back on zero pod and is there anything that you asked him or didn't get to ask him that you think we should ask will
i think we covered a lot so that was amir bandiali one of the 2 cofounders of 0x that i had on 0 pod episode 28 i think it was check it out at 0 pod dotxyz if you missed it it was a good it was a good episode a little bit funny though he joined like he joined with in his from a bedroom and his cat was roaming around in the background so it was pretty hilarious that a few times in the podcast the cat like jumped into frame or at one particular time it like it literally jumped on his desk and like it was a huge crack so there was definitely some bloopers but it was it was overall it was a great interview he's like an an og og right like he's been working
for for
a very long time 0 0 x has been a huge player in the space an innovator in the space match is awesome i love using it it's it's great for saving saving funds on swaps so i think i love what they're what they're doing and yeah i i mean we asked a a pretty wide variety of questions so i'll try to think of any that i maybe didn't get to and send you a dm if
you're ready
we talked about the history of 0 x and match up we talked about farcaster and base and everything in between we talked about nouns because he's a he's a nouner as well i don't know if you knew that
oh i did not know that
mir is an which one og nowner i don't know which one he has offhand but yeah he's got he's got one that he's i
mean he had to know that was gonna be my next question and you didn't know the answer come on yeah come on todie
i i i did i did know but i forget but anyway yeah yeah so
that's really cool i did know
we talked about esports as well because in addition to partnering with with you guys they're also doing a partnership with esports and the noun square and so we talked a lot about about about that and and how that's going they sponsored the matcha cup which is a tournament that rich man so yeah pretty exciting stuff
that is very cool and i'm and i think they have a few other things planned with the bounty sports team i know that are that are coming up that they're working on it it's kind of exciting to see that combo
it was it was like a 3 months trial and they're really happy with with everything and so i think they'll great don't wanna spoil anything but i think the next 6 months we'll we'll see lots of new stuff collaborations between nouns esports and the noun square and and matcha so yeah
i suggested to sasquatch that we should have like a meet beat the pro kinda competition it would be really fun oh that's awesome people will get into that so
that is happening well okay so i can share this already so i just ordered a few things on amazon for for prime that are coming coming their way which will allow me to play smash bros melee
so alright
i'm gonna be trained by their number 1 melee player over the course of several months and jack wilds who's also our video team at the down square will be trained by aklo one of their other players who's really great at smash and then we're gonna be playing each other live in november
that's awesome
towards events we'll see we'll see how good i can get with the number one smash player in the world training me and i've i've never really played before maybe maybe a couple times at a at a party it's never been my game
has jack played does he have any experience
more than i have so he's got a definite punch for sure and i think he also has probably smaller thumbs but we'll see
however what he does not have is the is the tony hawk dedication
yeah i do
that will take that will be you know somebody who will play speed tracer a 158 times just to i mean
i don't like not being good at things i don't like losing so i'll i'll be the first to admit i have a competitiveness problem so we'll see hopefully i pray for patience though for my coach and and hopefully he'll be able
to take some food for
a hallow we'll see but that'll be fun so that's gonna be all those training sessions are gonna be streamed here on on lonely on the new esports channel that they're launching so pretty fun
that's awesome i love it and i it's so fun i love what they what macho has been doing in terms of really diving into our ecosystem here and i appreciate them and we're looking forward to talking with will i think it's gonna be it's gonna be a good combo the show
is gonna be called cody and toady by the way which is pretty fun
oh okay alright it feels like it totally feels like a nickelodeon teen show from like the 19 nineties
and maybe it will be
maybe it will be cody and zach that's what i'm thinking of
yeah this is way different okay this is good
i hope so
than game
games moving on we have this news from poly market this is really exciting to be honest i don't know if you know who nate silver is i know you do tony but for those who may not know who nate silver is he's like the you know the king of polls in terms of politics and 538 has been like sort of the go to for polling data and he is joining as an adviser on to polymarket so really kind of giving a lot of legitimacy to what they're doing there and that's pretty exciting it's been really interesting to see what polymarket is doing even though i can't use them but i've i anyway i got into a little bit of a dust up yesterday but anyway so i feel like the the energy on farcaster has moved a little bit it's getting a little crazier as poll as the political climate gets a little crazier so i'll be starting to remove myself from various politics channels and using the mute the mute feature when needed just to just for my own sanity but it is really interesting to see this and i think it's bodes well for what polymarkets doing and yeah they're definitely getting more more legitimacy as they go on so it's pretty cool and it must be all it's all the intern's fault this from mazam hussein if it will come up he did a crowdfunding for a little bit of crowdfunding he didn't really do crowdfunding it just turned into that oh come on come on warpcast
to take that that was the first person to donate warps to the cause and and i
think you were i think you were so i can't get the cast to come up but he said as soon as i get enough warps i'm gonna start a channel that will focus on global news and he had the warps like probably within you know less than an hour i i don't even know if it took that long i donated warps and then i mean people were just tipping and sending him funds and it was kinda i don't think he expected that response and it was great to see so he has started a new global news channel on warpcast where he's hoping to bring in more some other high profile really well known journalists to be sort of sharing their their research and investigative reporting which i think is incredibly cool
so i really enjoyed having his presence on on the app it's it's nice to have that's the one thing we missed you know when everything happened obviously with the trump shooting and whatnot last week it's one thing that sort of reinforced that unfortunately twitter still has the monopoly on that like sort of news first sort of thing and just just by sheer numbers right and so it was hard to keep up to date on stuff on farfetch and i think we need more you know less of some things where that's concerned but more of just like being able to tap in and see what's happening in the world and you know better if it's really great thoughtful journalists like murtaza he's he's really he's been impressing me a lot
yeah i agree and and and also very respectful dialogue is helpful too
yeah
and that's pretty much what i've seen with him and others who are chatting with him back and forth and i think that's what often gets lost on twitter
he's also very open minded which was which we'd like to see too like people were like oh you know don't don't go spouting dgen nonsense to this guy we've got a real serious person on our app and he's like hey i fucking love dgen like this is great yes you know this is the the exact reason why crypto is powerful it aligns incentives it you know it anyway but it was really cool to see that he really groks why why crypto is powerful in a lot of ways
yeah he totally got it and it was funny we're all like okay quick you know be serious we got a serious journalist here now and and he was like no no no i'm going to i'm going to figure out your culture i'm good like don't don't have to don't have to be fancy for me which i thought was great and and seeing him like you know get that people were gonna jump in and help and wanted to encourage him starting a channel i think that was a huge moment that i think had a big impact so i appreciate everybody jumping up
it's also a message to other people who are not on the app yet or maybe they are and they're not active and it just goes to show that if you are you know a quality a if you really are a and yeah
and you
something interesting to share from your perspective the network is hungry for it and like willing to reward it with you know engagement and even you know funds in this case to yeah see more of it so hopefully people take that sign and and get more active if they're you know who knows or if they're a fitness blogger or like if they're just anything that's not crypto we're hungry for that content too you know
and i and i've had this thought about i have a really good friend who's a stand up comedian i've been debating this and trying to figure out should i make this effort she's not in crypto at all try to get her on the platform it's you know there's something to be said about if you're first or early and no one else is doing you know there's there's a huge opportunity there but it's also a lot of work and trying to figure out like how do we encourage that is is challenging but it's definitely something that i love seeing i was also had 2 interviews this week with people who are doing art pieces for us for here for the art you're gonna see brian morris' tomorrow and then renee campbell in a couple weeks and what was interesting talking with both of them is you know that same kind of feel like they both have you know came into farcaster and then really dove in and and became part of the community and just that approach and how much they've gotten from that and that other you know encouraging other artists or helping them find their way within the farcaster community is something you know they've done and i think that's also another thing we need to be encouraging in in in getting more artists on board and i know that's something yellow does amazingly well so appreciate appreciate that for sure wanna share this from and then one more thing before we close this was from post profile review mega thread on learnings almost 70 profiles reviewed ranging in follower count from double to 6 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 it is a long thread go check it out this is the first time dawuffy actually got me some got me some rewards on scoop because of this cast so go check it out but it's really interesting a lot of good learning in here and well done thank you for sharing that and lastly and
scoop i hear you crying
say that again
did you ever figure out how to make some money on scoop it's
no not at all i can't figure it out and also
i'm making no money off tony and i'm like this does not make sense how is that possible so something i feel like is wrong with the algo like it's gonna be
my ship has sailed you gotta sell me and move on
i know i'm like i i'm gonna have to sell him this is ridiculous but nobody's name jean it was like v and ted and that's it is spamming me with you're welcome i can't pull up this is making me crazy but this cast will not come up but i wanted to share very briefly yellow collective sent jir seattle crypto to miami and he wore these amazing goggles this this cast will be in our in our show notes i cannot get it to show on the screen it's making me nuts but it's amazing and it was such a cool like sort of crowdfund if you will within but with with yellow sort of supporting this trip for him to go to the copa america and he had started recently it's all soccer related and it was really cool so that's what we're
gonna need rewards too so i mean instead of just giving giving a myth which is what we did you know as a reward for essentially forking the yellow repo and and creating a new project called copa nouns which was like a a noun's a noun's fork on base centered around soccer and we thought well it'd be kinda cool i actually saw him post on the timeline saying that he wanted to go to the final and that he was gonna be in miami right but the the tickets were like $1200 so just you know maybe not and i was like hey you know maybe maybe maybe we can make it happen so it was cool we did a quick proposal for the grant and yellow came through and like 95% of of the collective voted to send him and i think he had a really good time so and he was wearing the noggles the whole time so that was cool
and i loved what i loved was that you used a frame for voting it happened very quickly a lot of it was being discussed in the dc so a lot of this happened all on warped cast rather than going through a much longer process to be able to turn it around quickly and get him there so definitely take a look at that cast it will be in our show notes it's not coming up right now but it was really cool or just go into the yellow slash yellow channel and you can see that sort of
some some people asked in the group chats they were like oh what if someone's in yellow and they're they're not on firecast or how will they vote on this i'm like we have a 120 members in this group chat of like a 130 token holders are in this in this group chat yeah we are really really firecast or native and so yeah it's cool to be able to check this
that is something healthy you're gonna have to go pick that up
it's like i
know it's cool and then i hope you have a good time
it looked it looked amazing i'm sorry i can't show it on the screen at this moment don't know webcast was just done with me today or my browser my browser is finally like no more no more lengths you're done so with that we're gonna close right there again on friday we'll be back adrian will be back on friday and we do have will warren joining us at noon est cofounder of matcha and 0x project and i'm really excited to learn more about the pricing the pricing engine the new pricing engine so with that we will see you on friday and with that bye bye thank you so much cody and you'll be actually tony will be filling in for a couple more wednesdays coming up next next week i believe and then the not the week after but the week after that and also you may
is closed next wednesday then we know it's a conspiracy conspiracy
you will know it's a conspiracy and they just hate me and that's what it comes down to so hopefully the but you know what taddy did great he was a great cohost
pretty good good one
he was pretty chill you know so thanks taddy thanks todi and we will see you friday bye bye
