GM Farcaster ep149 Friday August 30, 2024

Took my $5 USDC top caster reward and bought some more farcaster storage. But does anyone know the reason for discrepancy between what I see in caststorage.com and what’s displayed in warpcast settings? Oh wait… as I write this I just remembered the storage size was reduced recently so likely the UI on caststorage.com just hasn’t been updated yet? @sammdec.eth

Video Player Improvements on Warpcast! - Choose your playback speed (0.5x to 2x supported) - Annoying bug with shutting off audio in other apps fixed - Scrolling through videos is much smoother h/t @deodad

As soon as I first saw @priyanka’s stunning Patrons of Blue series, I KNEW I had to reach out and ask her to be the first photographer to collaborate with the /yellow collective on our monthly Based & Yellow Artist Spotlight Series. Happy to say that TODAY IS THE DAY! “yellow in blue” is a beautifully composed photographic diptych channeling the vibes of @base.base.eth and /yellow, available to collect now on the @baseapp.base.eth minterface👇 https://wallet.coinbase.com/nft/mint/eip155:8453:erc721:0x74589410924EF2713dE0E769541DfCeCaaa21662

Search buoy for Yarvin if you wanna find out about the latest farcaster drama

new supercast release is live no new features, just ux improvements as supercast wallet is coming closer, i want to focus more on mobile ux so for this release i made sure you can properly navigate the feed, properly display the embed, properly interact with frames etc not a huge release but very satisfying since losing position in feed was #1 bug report since the beginning of supercast now i will be able to go through all the notifications and reply on supercast mobile as well more improvements and features coming next week, and the degen airdrop is coming tomorrow!

Introducing Blockwatch 🔨 See if you're blocked. See who else is getting blocked. Enjoy life https://www.blockwatch.fyi/

This is an outcome of separation of platform and protocol that I hadn't previously considered: the ability to maintain a feature on one's own platform/API after its phase-out elsewhere. That's pretty nifty.

What else should we fix with direct casts? The more specific the request / bug report, the better! On our list (so no need to flag): 1. Search 2. Video 3. Folders 4. Composer actions 5. More developer APIs, e.g. read

as Warpcast stops updating power badge data, /neynar will move the power badge API to its own algo the change will be gradual, see @emilee's thread for more details reach out with any questions 🪐 https://warpcast.com/v/0xc21a2056

that was fast

⛔️pls no wells notice 📃 for us mr. gary 😭🙏 ur so smart 🧠 funny 🤣 and badass 🥵🚀 ilysm heh 😅🥹🫶 (no one mint this unless you wanna get sued)

Something I find severely lacking in consumer crypto is customer service. No shade to founders, you're running startups and juggling a million things. I get it. I don't expect all founders to be S-tier @linda level in responding to users. But there should be some dedicated method for users to get answers to questions, particularly when they're paying for your service. In the recent past I've tried to delicately get the attn of @dwr.eth & @v (Warpcast), and @woj (Supercast) without being aggressive or annoying. I casted publicly and slid into DCs for support with some paid features (in Warpcast's case it was storage I bought but never received). I even DC'd some friends in high places to help move the needle, all to no avail. 1/2 👇

Warpcast mobile vs. web usage last 30 days

OpenSea has received a Wells notice from the SEC threatening to sue us because they believe NFTs on our platform are securities. We're shocked the SEC would make such a sweeping move against creators and artists. But we're ready to stand up and fight. This is a move into uncharted territory. By targeting NFTs, the SEC would stifle innovation on an even broader scale: hundreds of thousands of online artists and creatives are at risk, and many do not have the resources to defend themselves. In addition to standing our own ground, we're pledging $5M to help cover legal fees for NFT creators and devs that receive a Wells notice. Every creator, big or small, should be able to innovate without fear. I hope the SEC will come to its senses sooner rather than later, and that they'll listen with an open mind. Until then, we'll stand up and fight for our industry. Onwards 🌊⛵️

Why Warpcast Should not Add Blocking https://breckyunits.com/blocking.html

Woke up to discover that my casts are being boosted 😍 It's not even the extra exposure that excites me. It's that it means the humans behind the platform think what I have to share is worth boosting. I've got 17 hours left of my casts being boosted, so I gotta decide what I'm casting today! Which is hilarious cuz I just started a 5 class, 17 credit fall semester today, too 🤣

@v unfollowed @dwr.eth 8 hours ago found out from farcasterstudio.com

since we're all nostalgic, this was my reason for joining farcaster:

fuckit new onboarding

Super liking this cast. Also, finally found the initial invite I got to Farcaster from @v early on.

creators have earned over a million dollars on hypersub. we launched 10 months ago

Warpcast Experiment: Boosts! A boost gives your account more distribution for 24 hours. Each day, we'll give out 10 boosts to accounts that: - Have < 10k followers - Have casted recently - Have not received a boost recently - Post bangers (manual judgement)

Since today's meta is sharing Farcaster invite stories, here's some tough love for consumer founders: you're probably not schlepping enough. If you strategy to get more users is to open your code editor, you're avoiding the actual hard thing of talking to users and then having them silently reject you after a few days. The first version of our Farcaster app didn't work on mobile and didn't have follows, at replies, native image uploads, etc. Go talk to potential users. A lot. https://paulgraham.com/schlep.html

I thought he was a scammer. Dan-boarded in torrential downpour outside of a CVS.

I earned my first $5 ever online by drawing a random stranger on the internet on Fiverr - It was a big deal for me, because growing up in Africa you don't have access to $$ & small jobs... I just earned my first $5 on social that felt earned (and not airdropped)!

Gonna start leaving parties like people leave social media platforms just standing in the corner shouting “ANNOUNCEMENT there’s NOBODY here I want to talk to and I’m LEAVING to spend my time elsewhere here’s a list of all the things the organiser did wrong”​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
