GM Farcaster ep164 Friday October 4, 2024

GM Degens, we’ve just added 100k $DEGEN to the /poidh Halloween bounty. 🎃 Dress up (any theme) and hold a sign saying “Happy $DEGEN Halloween” for a chance to win. All legit entries get a commemorative NFT. Can’t wait to see your costumes! https://poidh.xyz/degen/bounty/718

Product vs Distribution is a good high level frame, but you have to adjust it for your vertical. Anyone who has built social will tell you it’s not a great idea to focus on top of funnel until you have a good d30 retention, and bad retention is usually caused by things not working in the product. We have had solid d30 in the past, especially around frames launch but now it’s lower and we need to fix that first before worrying about top of funnel

@dwr.eth kindly award this account (who is so worthy) with a boost. thanks to @nounishprof for a brilliant and fun show. i wouldn't know of /ouliposting but for your convo with this amazing mood board maker who is slaying on warpcast👇

My 2 cents on how to manage channels in the new reality that starts Friday: 1. Make membership cost something meaningful - $ deters spam 2. Make every member feel like an owner. You don’t shit where you eat. 3. Be ok with casts from members that you don’t necessarily like yourself 4. Ban bad actors fast and frequently. Show your community that there are acceptable and unacceptable norms.

are you ready for channel memberships launch on Friday?

We have a new spam model rolling out this week. Our new model is re-evaluating all your old reports, and you may get notifications if we take action on them now.

Comm's onboarding is really well done! You sign in once with Farcaster, and start the app immediately with a network of friends you can talk to. More convinced SIWF is going to be really powerful building block for anyone doing consumer things in crypto.

Icebreaker attestations will be supported by @modbot on Day 1 post channels relaunch. Will share some great use cases soon but the following 3 credentials are available out of the box: - Human - qBuilder - Verified Arbitrary attestations (attestation, zkp, token, web2 data ... really anything) are also supported. https://modbot.sh/channels/professionals

Confirming that this is a legit message. We're going to be using the @warpcast account to send updates, similar to what WhatsApp does. You can archive the chat if you don't want to get notifications like this. We're also considering the best way to offer richer messages like this to developers via API. Likely something by early November.

Here’s a quick behind-the-scenes summary of all these variations and how we arrived at the final design. We went through 3 phases in this process: ✨Phase 1✨ Main priority was updating channel labels (low risk, as we could always revert to this version if Phase 2 didn’t work out). We tested a few variations throughout the week and ultimately decided that chips were the best option. During this process made minor adjustments to dark mode colors and said goodbye display names (and emojis)

New on Warpcast: updated home feed design - Casts in channels now have a label at the top with the logo - Casts are slimmed down: username-only, merged the action buttons with counts, moved Bookmarks to the kebab menu (top right) - Channel circles have been retired

goodbye warps

new on hypersub.xyz: hypermod starting friday, channels will require membership to cast or reply when enabled, if someone mints time on your hypersub they’ll receive an automatic dc inviting them to become a channel member hypersub-farcaster memberships are: - onchain - free, pay-what-you-want, or priced - accept payments w/ crypto or credit card - automatically add/remove members based on subscription status if you've been thinking about creating a hypersub for your channel, now is a good time to get started :)

Here's an idea: - Set up an onboarding mechanism to warpcast - Take credit cards, crypto, paypal, whatever - Charge $25 - Set up WC account, pay for 1 month of supercast and buy $DEGEN with the rest - put half the $DEGEN into their connected wallet ONCE THEY SET ONE UP. - Provide onboarding videos, a group chat for general support and regular live chats for members only - Publish recordings for all to see a week later on all socials - Have progressive tutorials about everything Farcaster - channels, etiquette, backing up keys, staying safe, "super follow", how to engage without farming Add your ideas below
