0:39Speaker 1

so that's not true we have 2 friends we've got 2 friends in the live chat

0:43Speaker 0

okay hi friends in the live chat i'm starting to log in right now and we're getting ready my background is base camp so we're getting ready for base camp that's why we're on on tuesday because we're traveling tomorrow and your background which is fabulous is a little shout out to the olympics by brian morris and love it looks so cute saying a little gm to our chat hello wait a minute did i see miriam got an ens i'm so excited now i can know it's her in the chat

1:18Speaker 1

i'm so happy is that a new ens yes new ens

1:21Speaker 0

yes awesome new ens yeah very exciting

1:24Speaker 1

you know yesterday we've always talked about so we stream on on lonely where your display name is your ens you can't even though i think there's some farcaster integration but you can't display your farcaster name right so if you don't have an ens all you see is your wallet address so we always tell the story about how yes to crypto discovered farcaster came on on lonely just in a very had as luck had it and realized he need an ens got an ens so yesterday someone there we we brought in a lot of new people yesterday with the moxie chat

1:59Speaker 0

yes

1:59Speaker 1

having beta shop on

2:00Speaker 0

it's a very very very great group of people that were chatting with us yesterday

2:05Speaker 1

so king was in the chat at king if you know king from farcaster but does not have an ens and for some reason said i'm not getting an ens and i didn't get to follow-up with them to know why why

2:18Speaker 0

yeah we'd like to know why king

2:20Speaker 1

so let us know

2:20Speaker 0

we'd love to know why you're why you're anti ens

2:24Speaker 1

and come back like why are you in our live chat

2:29Speaker 0

and if you are and by the way if you are in our live chat and you're using just a wallet just tell us who you are we just wanna say hi and just know that it's you and give you a shout out on forecaster because that's why we like to know who's in our chat because we always do a little shout out and anyway we do have some news to chat about today i logged in last night got a little notification that i needed to update and then things were a little different i gotta say just a little bit just subtle differences so improvements to most on webcast see recent queries and accounts see users channels and casts in one page filter to see the most recent casts these changes that's a big one these changes have been live on the web for a bit and now they're in mobile as well shout out to akshan and blakheim for this improvement but i noticed with that update there were some other small improvements for example the composer actions are now all in one they're nested within 1 composer action button so if you're looking for bounty cast or ponder event events x y z they're now within that composer action little

3:45Speaker 1

oh they're not as as they don't have their own exactly yeah they no longer have

3:50Speaker 0

their own you'll find them actually i will show you you'll find them

3:54Speaker 1

under probably in preparation because they're expecting

3:58Speaker 0

yeah

3:58Speaker 1

yeah they're expecting a lot more than just 2 or 3 options they'll they'll soon be dozens of options so

4:04Speaker 0

on web these are still here but if you go into mobile you'll see that it's one button and then it'll bring up multiple composer actions so a little different on web i'm sure that will follow but for now they did i noticed with this last update they did make that change on mobile so yeah which makes sense because you're gonna have more than 3 so and you only have limited real estate

4:29Speaker 1

i wonder if ponder and bunny bountycaster and events enjoyed their elevated boost status for 2 weeks yeah

4:37Speaker 0

their moment their moment in the sun and they still have it on webb so there you go for now for now i'm sure that will change up so check that out and a little better searching this was really cool this is from nick t n t introducing amp hivemind an ai powered answer engine on top of the farcaster graph think perplexity slash fuck but for farcaster ask anything and instantly get an answer with cited cast as sources live now for amp gold subscribers on hypersub mint a subscription to get access and this is really interesting and i love that the search that they used in the explanation is what is moxie i think this is this could be a real game changer honestly because there's so many things that are constantly happening there's no way everyone can stay up with it not even us so this is really cool did you get a chance to did you i haven't played around with this or

5:42Speaker 1

oh i've not played around with it

5:44Speaker 0

not yet but it's really cool yeah so it's basically a gpt that's just farcaster focused which is pretty cool so go check that out i gotta go but i like also that he's using hypersub to sort of you know gate it and i think that's interesting that's a really interesting approach so

6:03Speaker 1

i wonder what it thinks about toast spacers

6:06Speaker 0

oh good question next question for for amp is toast spacers what's the deal and see what kind of kind of answer we get i definitely want to play around with this so i'm gonna sign up on hypersub and play around because i do want to ask it a few things and see see what it says see if we give a better explanation that it does probably not i wanna ask it what gm farcaster is see if it knows oh then we'll know then we'll know

6:32Speaker 1

to pet

6:33Speaker 0

that'll be the true test this from phil congratulations to fred t on winning a signed copy of crypto confidential in this week's books giveaway see you all tomorrow for ama with nat eliason which is today so this was very cool phil gave away in the books channel a copy of crypto confidential and nate will be do or nat sorry nat i always wanna say nate when i see his name like that nat will be doing an ama i think it's today in the books channel so look for that and that's pretty cool have you read this yet i have not read this

7:13Speaker 1

no and to be fair it just came out this month so

7:16Speaker 0

monday oh no no no sorry not monday

7:18Speaker 1

wasn't it 2 weeks oh yeah earlier earlier this month anyone in the chat i'm curious if anyone in the chat has read it yet but i heard nat on infinite loops podcast which is jim o'shaughnessy's podcast and he was talking a little bit about it and it sounds like a good read so i plan on checking it out for sure

7:39Speaker 0

this might be a good one i just thought this might be a good one for the plane if they have an audio book i'll have to look so alright and we're i think we were chatting with nat to see i think he's gonna come on the show at some point so that'll be cool

7:52Speaker 1

yeah well i slid into his dms to invite him now he's ghosting me so if anyone knows nat tell him he should come on gm broadcaster

7:59Speaker 0

don't ghost us don't ghost us

8:02Speaker 1

and to be fair 90% of my dms are me ghosting someone else so i don't actually think it's ghosting i think people get busy

8:10Speaker 0

they also probably see your fox and go why is metamask metamask no me

8:18Speaker 0

metamask will not dm you adrian

8:21Speaker 1

might my fox doesn't look like the metamask fox number 1 number 2 the biggest test of whether or not you're a forecaster og is if when you see a red fox what do you think of and if what do

8:34Speaker 0

you think of

8:35Speaker 1

metamask go back to twitter

8:38Speaker 0

there you go rand think adrianne you're good yeah then we're friends great point great point this from bounty caster lots of improvements there's a lot been happening with bounty caster new bounty caster feature now when a new job gets posted you can bra browse other jobs posted in the same category e g engineering etcetera through the frame and i think that's a that's a huge unlock for job hunters it makes a lot of sense that way you're you know getting more for your more for your time there so very cool great improvement speaking of metamask this is funny us at the olympics i almost use this as a background just because it was so weird very cute so this is a fox that was hanging out at the olympics and metamask says it's them so apparently product placement there you go

9:37Speaker 1

at the i'm recasting that and i'm just saying that to me at the olympics

9:41Speaker 0

yeah just saying you

9:42Speaker 1

need to reclaim that red fox

9:44Speaker 0

say the i'm sorry you're mistaken this is actually adrian it's not it is not metamask and this again this is all eyes on the games brian morris who also is our here for the art artist for this month and you can mint his piece only till tomorrow so look for that in the jamfarcaster channel i'll recast that today so you don't miss it so this will be your last chance to mint that and then we have an amazing artist renee campbell for august so that'll be coming out shortly and also his podcast interview that i did with him is out on all of our in all of our places and i'm looking for it right now there it is you just casted this as well yesterday do you have 2 minutes today to feel inspired artist brian morris has a fantastic answer to nanish proff's first question about his artist origin story i mean obviously listen to the whole interview too the first two minutes is golden so what i i was really surprised to see this so what was it about the first two minutes that you thought were

10:52Speaker 1

well spoiler alert for people who haven't listened yet i think you just asked kind of how he became an artist and he yeah

10:58Speaker 0

what was your artist's journey

10:59Speaker 1

literally within the first two minutes like i i i was on a walk listening i loved the entire conversation and i was very i felt like i was sitting in the room with you i was a little upset i wasn't because it felt like hanging out with friends

11:17Speaker 1

he's so good i mean he i loved hearing about his background and also i i could kind of relate as someone who came from the corporate world and kind of found an act too if you will and i think he talked about just using art to explain things

11:37Speaker 0

mhmm

11:39Speaker 1

that either can't be explained in words he was telling a story about how he discovered art as a kid using with his dad kind of illustrating like how brakes work in a car like the mechanics and how he was able to kind of get it through illustrations

11:58Speaker 1

so i just i loved it and i did too it was think it's like an interview i learned

12:02Speaker 0

a lot

12:03Speaker 1

thank you for the entire thing

12:04Speaker 0

it was a great conversation learned a lot about him but also we had a great conversation about like about that corporate to art sort of world and the changing world of graphic design too which i i think you know when we think about ai that's one area that's like getting you know really hit so you know what does that do is it good is it bad whatever and so it's it was a really great conversation definitely recommend i'll recast that later today with the mint as well so that everyone can go check that out but it was yeah it was a great combo so i'm glad you enjoyed it and the one with renee you're also gonna love i've that's already been recorded and it'll be coming out shortly and i think you'll love that one as well so i'm excited for that to to bring that out as well

12:56Speaker 1

i just got the goosebumps when i was listening like so you know we do our new show which i people go back and watch reruns i don't know why it's not the news is dead guy like but people who've been watching old episodes go for it i mean but what i love about the here for the art is it's kind of it it capturing this moment in time yeah elevating artists which is incredible capturing this moment of time and i was just thinking as we're doing a month by month by month creating this kind of collection of artist spotlights so just even listening to brian and and and excited to hear the renee i'm so excited to kind of revisit this in 5 years from now

14:00Speaker 0

yeah it'll be that'll be really that's a great point it'll be really interesting to see you know some of the things we talked about what those changes are and as we're talking about artist journeys and things like that so and see where they are as well in their you know next next phases in in what they're doing so yeah exciting it's fun i'm really excited for renee's and i just love her work so very excited that she's she's gonna be our next woman so olympics speaking of olympics today on chain olympics day 2 women's gymnastics us tuesday 12 pm et to 2 pm et ted is going to be streaming which is yeah so it i'm like do we have anything else scheduled at that same time okay no good it's gonna be streaming right here on her ted channel and on lonely and the bracket is going strong here so go check that out on bracket gate bracket dot game as well i'm just like really loving the olympics in general by the way i meant to cast this in the parenting channel yesterday i one of my favorite things about the olympics is watching parents watching their kids win aw there there's nothing better like there's just nothing like they get so or even just compete i shouldn't even say win they get so into it and jordan chiles' family oh my god snoop dogg was sitting with them it was just hilarious and they were into it like every just living on every single you know move that she made but even like the swimming yesterday everything it's been super fun and by the way that gymnastics men's gymnastics the like specialist who comes in and does one thing sits there all day was like clark kent has his glasses on sitting there very intense like getting ready comes out wins them a medal for the first time in 16 years it was just like he does this one thing and that's it but he does it better than like every anyone in the world it's incredible so that was really fun takes the glasses off does his thing

17:29Speaker 0

in other news this is exciting and interesting this is jonathan mann song of day mann also known as is now suing the sec and he dropped this video and this song yesterday and it looks like the beginning of like an eighties sitcom and it's hilariously done and it's so good go go look at it bid on it do all the things but i'm really excited to see this because what he's doing is suing the sec for to get some clarity honestly around whether or not his musical nfts are securities he also had a song called this song is a security by the way it's it will get stuck in your head it will absolutely get stuck in your head warning warning but it's really good and i think this is a fantastic move especially since the sec does tend to lose every every case that they do so there you go but i do think this is this is really funny so but also amazing that he's doing this so good luck jonathan we we stand behind you so good luck with that this from chris dixon same post on farcaster and x we've seen a few of these lately roughly 2 x the engagement on farcaster so he had posted a quote about from mark zuckerberg talking about ai and tech and of course you got better inkling on farcaster because we love you here and if you're not elon's friend you're not getting any engagement so did you did you make chris did you make elon mad what happened what happened tell us tell us the story and similarly this is from packy deleted x from my phone will still use on desktop and sure i'll redownload at some point but i just find myself checking it mindlessly and it clutters my brain and i've said this before whenever i go on twitter it feels like i'm going back to an old neighborhood and then i remember why i don't live there anymore so this was fun to see

19:50Speaker 1

i followed this lead i deleted twitter off my phone yesterday

19:53Speaker 0

did you really

19:55Speaker 1

i had it being told by the end of the day and it's off again so it is many such cases many such cases i will just say what i love about farcaster is how many times when people compare farcaster to some of the other alternatives that that i'm not on but a lot of the vibe is just like anti twitter it's like we're here so we can shit on elon and talk bad about x yeah and we don't really get a lot of that at farcaster so i'm gonna i really don't wanna take too much oxygen talking about x no it's i think there's a lot of reasons it's super useful i'll just notice i do too yeah i mean as you go into the election cycle the difference between my following feed and the for you feed yeah it just keeps getting wider and wider because i kinda keep a tight following and like and and carry on my so but the for you profile of what the algorithm is feeding me is such divisive junk food and i am not i i need to get off of it

20:59Speaker 0

yeah it's not right on paper same same thing and i i was really good about keeping my crypto twitter profile different from my everything else profile and they've just started sort of merging as as crypto gets more political during this cycle it's like everything keeps yeah so it's it's definitely but it's still you can't deny its usefulness in some areas especially just to get news if you do want that it's just that it can also be

21:29Speaker 1

incredibly toxic i love it and by the way i i love it all

21:33Speaker 0

yeah i do too you love yeah and this is the meme from gio gio here the little midwit meme no i have to post on x linkedin threads truth social reddit post on farcaster post on farcaster and that's it so yes most people aren't here but we know we know and this from connor or noor lots of negativity let's be negative about the negativity farcaster's awesome where else do you find such a high concentration talented people such high value high quality open innovation frames etcetera so much viewpoint diversity that mostly coexists harmoniously so much optimism about the future so i agree so just you know keep hanging out here if you if you start to feel pessimistic about the future because it's it's actually good everything's gonna be fine by the way this from you a little ponder poll is gm forecaster more like the announcements over the intercom at your old high school keeping students informed or the partners at pwc during the morning stand up keeping the office informed i personally think it's high school intercom what was your what do you think

22:47Speaker 1

i mean obviously it's a high school intercom we we are not serious people

22:55Speaker 0

we are not serious people at all corporate corporate stand up feels way too stiff i think high school intercom makes a lot more sense

23:04Speaker 1

but i and and the reason that and i don't know if you know the source of this poll came from your interview with brian because brian used to work at pwc and by the way brian i did too a lifetime ago but i i think that's funny what he was saying was how nice it is to kind of have this ritual of where you can kind of start your day and and it was nice to hear and if you look at some of the comments in that people had other they they did answer other things i think of of what our vibe is but

23:38Speaker 0

i have not looked at the others i have to go back and look so i'm afraid i'm a little afraid but okay

23:45Speaker 1

oh there's some fun ones

23:46Speaker 0

i will i will take a look and this also you've been doing some ponder holes or a lot of people have been doing ponder holes but this was actually not you this was doofy have you ever used a product because they threw a huge party and i could guess what this answer is and of course it's no but i liked your comment here guys this is a trap if you honestly answer if you if you answer honestly they're gonna stop during us parties don't ruin it for the next generation

24:19Speaker 1

i just want you to know when i every time i go to a party and i get really good swag i always use the product and become my converted customer like 9% of the time always

24:29Speaker 0

always absolutely so please we still need that really high quality swag

24:35Speaker 1

shout out ponder actually because it is so easy to create a poll now

24:41Speaker 0

yeah

24:41Speaker 1

it was never that hard but somehow being able to do it directly in feed using the cast action or composer action

24:48Speaker 0

composer action

24:49Speaker 1

how are you not making a like if you haven't made a ponder poll yet why oh that'll be my poll today good question no but seriously make it they're super fun and yeah i i love how it's integrated into wordcast but it's pander in the background doing it not wordcast and when i see legos clicking together it makes me really happy

25:08Speaker 0

i really like and it's not gonna make that big a difference on this one but i really like that you can change it by power badge popular casters and farcaster ogs and just see if there's any difference a lot of times it's not major difference but it is interesting it could be interesting for certain things there might be a skew so interesting yeah go go make yourself a ponder pole we this is from linda we have a new ethereum film short film community.eth an an ethereum story that will be released for free tomorrow cover art made for it by stippin pixel and i am really excited for the other one that's coming out about vitalik that they already dropped the trailer for that and this is sort of a part of it's related to that release as well so very cool and that'll be out today i also want to just touch a little bit on moxie did you were you did you claim or anything yesterday knowing full well the answer to this question

26:16Speaker 1

you have to ask you know the yeah so what do you think do you think i claimed my moxie

26:21Speaker 0

no i don't think so i don't think so i don't think you did probably not for the same reasons i didn't

26:31Speaker 0

i would have i tried and i still have they did send me a fix that i just have to go through some process and and fix my error of my ways it's not their fault it's mine

26:44Speaker 0

ish ish sort of my fault but it was interesting to see this was pretty much all over the timeline yesterday it was all moxie all day long and there's a lot of confusion still so if you are confused about moxie i'm not gonna tell you that the gm forecaster interview is gonna answer everything it won't but it might help a little bit so go back and listen to if you missed it yesterday go listen to jason talk about betashop talk about moxie sort of the overall vision as well as some of the details on there but yeah some people are confused

27:19Speaker 1

some people are a little confused so yeah it's not it's actually not that simple and it's really not a lot of people are spending time going through the docs and listening to our beta shop on jamfarcaster 5 times in a row at 0.5 speed

27:41Speaker 1

and there are explainers and you can choose to do that if you wanna understand everything or you can do what nannish praff and i like to do which is dip your toes in see how it plays out and learn as you go so i don't have all the answers and i actually don't think anyone really does yet including hivemind

28:04Speaker 0

yeah i think that including hivemind i think that you have to give it a little breathing room because things will with any kind of launch there's always things that don't go exactly as you planned there's use cases you never even thought of there's going to be all kinds of things that are going to change as we go along and if you think about just keep me going back to dgen and where it started and where it ended up very different very different things this was from wake and super helpful one of those explainer helpful things moxie airdrop investing basics your airdrop is available a little each day spread out over a 180 days vesting schedule and we did not talk about that yesterday so i wanted to mention that today not all of it is available at once and none of it is in your wallet until you actually claim and transfer but you can use that locked moxie to bid on fan tokens if you fuck up your bid you can cancel any time before the auction ends and get your moxie back unlocked unvested moxie and any rewards you've earned can be claimed daily using the claim frame it doesn't transfer automagically everyday rewards earned are usable immediately so this was actually really helpful so thank you wake for that and also proxy had a really good one regarding the best flow for bidding on fan tokens they had it listed as sign in to airstack connect your farcaster account find the active auctions you want to bid on and click bid you'll get a direct cast with a frame open the frame go through the bidding process you'll get dcs if you're outbid so i thought that was super helpful and but yes everyone who does understand it now feels like that

30:01Speaker 1

so i think the one thing that was confusing that i saw a lot of people ask about was so it's the vesting is over a 180 days so you get one 180th 80th of it each day and in betashop's cast he said you need to claim it every day and i think people yeah understood understandably thought that meant you actually have to be like it's a use it or claim it or lose it right it's not so you do not need to claim every single day it sounds like it will just as it vests but i think he just it was a little confusing because a lot of people ask that same question it was like wait you need to i i need to go to this frame every single day

30:40Speaker 0

no yeah no you don't but it won't be in your

30:44Speaker 1

won't be in your wallet

30:45Speaker 0

be in your wallet until you do i think that's the yeah that's the difference so we're we're learning we're learning things it's okay it's gonna be fine i i think you know a lot of it seemed to go well yesterday but there was just a ton of confusion that from what i could see on the timeline so congratulations on the launch but we know you know there's gonna be bumps and we'll we'll hang in there i do wanna share that we are heading to base camp on tomorrow tomorrow on tomorrow i'm like oh my god that's tomorrow that was my panic face of oh my god i haven't packed yet in case you couldn't tell the only thing i've packed can you guess noggles yep i have a suitcase of goggles yep yep yep yep that's packed yep yep so that part's done the rest is in progress

31:42Speaker 1

31:47Speaker 0
