gm farcaster it is monday november 4th and you are here with nana shroff and adrianne for 29 minutes of farcaster news to start your day and i'm just giving this a little tweet so hopefully we have a few more folks join us today from the twitterverse gm everyone gm how are you today
it's the last day you can enjoy democracy because whoever you're voting for the other person is ending democracy
that's what i hear
percent a 100% of the people in our country agree democracy ends tomorrow when when we vote
cool when we vote
so this is by the way 29 minutes of farcaster news and only 30 seconds of political news all in memes and jokes that's done we might have a couple more quick things but they're memes don't worry we will get into no big political stories except for well this one because you don't understand my background it is welcoming peanut to heaven so if you're not familiar with what's going on with peanut the squirrel he has sadly passed away along with fred the raccoon who i believe is right over my shoulder and it's a whole big thing that then of course of course launched a meme coin of course so that went parabolic
exactly you just said you just said peanut passed away which is just really showing your political bias because clearly he was assaulted and he was brutally murdered
yes that's true whichever whichever way you'd like to spin that i am i am fine i am fine but yeah i think we can agree that the insanity of the news story to ridiculous meme coin that like goes off the charts is is really it's impressive honestly it's really impressive how quickly that's happening now so anyway in other in other news ish and other things behind you background behind you is this meme from king we're selling a freedom of speech on x we're selling alternative to twitter on blue sky we got frames on the feed and shit yes and honestly i love so much so it's the 3 dragons meme if you are unfamiliar or not watching the screen but go check
it out
yeah and
king king is well done well done sir well done
you are the king what are we gonna say about king
no he's just he's he's great at the memes
he's great at the memes he's great at the memes we appreciate you
we like it
moving on a couple things from dan and team we've got this from dan how are people feeling about announcements when they first launched a bunch of complaints about them being too spammy another population of people claimed they never checked the channels tab if we were to move announcements into the all slash priority tab versus keeping them in channels how would you feel so my personal feeling is i like them sort of in their own place because it makes it very easy i can just go in look at the channels tab kinda scroll through very quickly see if there's anything important and move on with my day whereas my priority tab is a shit show i don't know about you how's your priority tab
it's fine why is yours such a shit show
it's just i it's constant too much like there's yeah it's just a lot so i don't wanna add to that you know area like i feel like it should be in its own little separate place and i'd be happy
have you been checking channel announcements oh yeah
oh you do yeah at least once or twice a day i do mhmm yeah so yeah that's why it's not really bothering me but would you rather see it in priority do you think it's better there it would be more seen
my request is i'll check channel announcements the i'm in a lot of channels because i have fomo and i like being everywhere and i also have to cover it you know being being a part of moderno and all gotta be everywhere
you gotta be all the places you gotta be omnipresent part of the deal
joking if that wasn't clear so but a lot of the channels like i don't wanna leave but i'm not interested in being in in all the announcements i'm like a you know more but it wouldn't outer outer ring so i'd love to be able to opt in to channel announcements like not have to leave a channel to not get the announcement but kind of be part of a channel but be able to choose whether i want the the announcements pushed
but what i'm guessing also is that you would not prefer them to be in your priority
i'm happy if they're in priority if i can if there's only a few like if it's a handful of channels that i really wanna know announcements
alright cool alright and there you go there you go dan there's the there's the feedback i'm fine where they are she's fine if you move them to priority as long as she can opt out which i think that would be helpful that goes back to also muting well i guess muting channels would be just not following this from dan in fc devs saw a few casts grumbling about the next iteration of frames clearing up misconceptions 1 we circulated earlier versions of the public draft with a dozen or so teams who are actively building frames 2 existing frames will continue to work as is if people continue to build them and they have meaningful usage we will support them 3 our goal with the changes is to give developers more surface area to build better experiences and more reliability for one shot actions like transactions still clunky today 4 frames are just links so other clients can choose to adopt or not and they will start work five frames are farcaster primitives not just warp cast because they contain social context a g a user's f i d coda if you want to provide feedback just cast and tag me or send a d c posting anonymously isn't particularly actionable actionable oh interesting little shot at little shot shot at super
anon
okay we see you dan and then this from varun that is related looking for 5 developers to prototype app frames with us next week we'll help with heavy lifting on design integration and support if you're interested please reply with your current frame so if you i think this was yeah a couple of days ago so they may have their 5 already but if you are interested jump into varun's cast here anything else you want to add to this i think this will be i'm guessing a topic of conversation tomorrow on the hub with dylstack and kevin o'connell will also be joining him tomorrow so any thoughts hello graf
what is the hub
why the hub is a new a new show from gm farcaster with dil stack that's covering all things developer stuff on farcaster how was that i need a better i need a better tagline
sounds like a great topic for the devs to talk about then
it does it does so we don't have to say much more about it is what you're what you're saying okay so catch the hub tomorrow 10 am est very excited very excited this from dan farcaster video ama answers answered a bunch of questions from the replies thanks to everyone who participated i have not watched this yet but you have and here were some of your comments so good made for great viewing during my sunday evening laundry folding sesh i should probably just have you read this but i will read it for you appreciate you doing these for people who have been paying attention to what you've been saying the last few years there's nothing new or surprising consistency and transparency builds trust was relieved to hear you answer about fc native tokens nannush paraf and i are developing a 12 part farcaster 101 ser educational series for new users and i'm glad i'm still accurately representing your stance that was my biggest fear i'm like please don't change everything we've said
we're literally recording so permissionlessly we are recording
yeah
or cast our educational content and on to help people onboard they keep saying that we talk to dan every now and then so there's a but he doesn't he's not really involved we so we just listen to what he says and parrot a lot of the merkel talking points and as we're we've been recording a lot lately and it it is nice to know we're accurate
yeah i feel like we don't have to go rerecord anything today that's good that's good little bit more here you spoke for about 10 seconds about farcaster builder culture and i recorded 75 minutes today about it i know you want to talk product but the fc culture is special you have sick product sense it's rare it's great to hear you talk out loud about the failings of toggles and other product decisions i'm a 77 d a u daily active user and not going anywhere but if anything changes i promise to complain and not silently churn do you record these with no breaks and edits love the king shout out so i have not watched this yet so i have to go back but take oh one take no notes no edits alright there you go
so what were some of your
he literally just goes on reads and talks for an hour with
that's crazy i can't believe someone could actually do that and they just like recast and just talk why weird literally what we do
just in case
there was no slide deck down he raised he raises with he fundraises with no
no slide deck no slide deck dan that's funny so you watched it what were some of your takeaways any big
you just read my takeaways
but anything else like anything more specific
i think i just encourage people if you're interested in in farcaster like go listen to to to dan because it's kinda like the long form content you you get to hear a lot of like the way he thinks about things he explains why he's not giving people lots of toggles giving super users what they want why he doesn't want reverse algorithmic feeds
like he's talking about product decisions so like kinda diving into the reasons behind some of the decisions and some of the decisions you may not agree with so at least you're we can understand the why
and i think you know he talks a lot to kind of power users like because the power users are the ones giving feedback 7 out of 7 is 7 days out of 7 days you're a daily active user it wasn't a you know so that is like these are the people who are talking except so he hears a lot of our feedback except he's building not for power users he's building for retention he's building for the average user and he's saying it doesn't really matter what you ask for you have to look at people's revealed preferences and what is it that actually gets people to stick around and even though i think he really does truly love and appreciate all of our all of the 7 out of 7 daus
he's back
even if he doesn't tell you in so many words the forecaster like it's only good for all of us if it grows what he's saying like at least 2 orders of magnitude yeah and like don't even talk like it's like there's nothing to even talk about except growth until then and it's not gonna grow by like this small little community of power users
there's only so far we can take it yeah especially since we're we're doing a horrible job of recruiting on our own most people we bring in sure because
because this is what i'm pointing at my background our marketing efforts are we got frames into it
i mean but we do we like them we think they're cool but yeah there's that
okay really interesting by the way now frames being an open standard and just links other feeds could adopt frames if they want
could you know what it sounds like an opportunity for another for a new client yeah it does it sounds like that okay moving on we've got a few more things to chat about everyone's like looking at my links going oh my god they have a lot of things to talk about not really this is this is very cool follow ens bot for a heads up to renew any domains owned by your verified ethereum addresses when they're close to expiring it will send you a frame to renew right within war cast using this frame so very cool this is from steven sill and this is limes commenting very cool never let domain expire again with notice on farcaster so yeah i need to make sure i check that
i'm sorry can we just hang on that for a minute this is like actually one of the coolest things i've seen
it is very cool
in in so long so this is and like i call it an actually useful frame and i've always had that fear like oh you've done your ens but it's like well how are you gonna remember when it expires and i don't want to use email like who wants you don't they're probably email i don't even know if you can register an email with your ens i don't but i certainly wouldn't want to so the idea that someone can permissionlessly just kind
of or
build something it's attached to your wallet and then using the farcaster social graph and this is where i'm hanging out and i'm gonna get my reminder it's like i i don't know there's a lot of
oh is it working
i i yeah i searched the wrong thing i searched the wrong thing this is very cool i thought i had to search by my fid so i was searching my fid
yeah but now i'm
searching my ens
and of course it only works if you are if your ens lives in your forecaster connected wallet which not everybody connects
yep so and i have many wallets with many enss
okay
this is a i'm good i'm good for 2 years
i i just i just re up mine for 6 this is a classic yes to crypto my ens expires after my own biological expected expiration date
i would expect nothing else if you
if you subscribe to gfr taster for 2 years i fully believe you have a lifetime ens subscription
would not be surprised at all that's funny oh i don't have the thing i'm looking for here i got the wrong one alright i guess it's this one okay this from linx hold on oh but i gotta go yeah that's why i was like i think i need the other one but it's okay i'll we'll get through this first time doing the show so this is from linx me can we stop by blue sky and get some dan tldr we have dan at home dan at home is mole mole meme but this is a comment on tldr's comment on another comment so it says android 16 said explored blue sky a bit today this thread by their dan about the protocol was useful blue sky feels ideologically stronger than fc because their main client is open source that said apps having to aggregate data is bad devx and the relay is a single point of failure but tldr's comment was on their dan there was many such cases hence going back to the there dan at home we have dan at home so our dan our dan looks like this there you go that's our dan at home that's a link
that's a deep thinking that's a deep thinking meme lynx
you're asking us to
do a lot of work
that was a lot of work especially when we have to explain it to other people who may not even be looking at the screen i love this from drew kaufman just discovered this in my wallet i've been carrying it around for months you've been carrying around since may to be specific this is the dan tattoo so there you go that i gave out at far con so that was just randomly on the on the timeline and now let's get into the 3 memes that i'm allowing from politics this was really funny horse facts and it's the if you know industry the hbo show it is him yeah just basically screaming into his his computer i am a buyer of coconuts get on the phones we are unburdening ourselves of what has been and imagining what fucking can't be look at the tape and i just thought that was a very clever approach to this and this from cassie less less eyebrow that's eyebrow but very very funny gm americans be sure to vote this tuesday if you haven't yet and looks like somebody has in the meme has confused the floating booth with the bathroom
or maybe they didn't or maybe they didn't
and this from you which i thought was really meme this is not a meme this is actually serious this is just fun it's very interesting from adrian yesterday a political canvasser rang my doorbell and i did a thing i've never done before i answered the doorbell and talked to the guy i asked him a few questions about the congressman he was volunteering for and then i spent even more time telling him about crypto and why it matters to me as a voter and asked him to bring the message back to the candidate i learned this tactic from jamaboo.eth when he visited gm farcaster to talk about advocacy episode linked below advice don't expect politicians to know about crypto you can use your voice and educate them and i love that you pointed out this episode because that was a great episode and great chat with him so good and this is nonpartisan just talking about how can we move the education layer on crypto because that is a bipartisan issue so i love that
do you talk to canvassers or answer your phone
i don't i don't answer your phone but you know what i'm one of when i was a youngin' like 9 10 i used to be a canvasser my family is yeah involved in politics in massachusetts and we used to go and door knock for my uncle do people answer the door
back in the day they did answer that one
a one time ago they sure did yeah and also would you ever let a kid who was like 9 10 years old go randomly knock on doors anymore no god no
not today no no
no no
way normally i hear my doorbell or if i see i just hide in the closet i just like of course
turn off all
the lights and i'm like just they will go away don't let them know anyone is home
but that's really interesting that you are getting somebody who's coming by and they're coming for a congressperson right so that's very cool that that's much more closer look you know that was a smart thing to do that's very cool
and i was influenced by jababoo and advocacy because i was like you know what i am curious what are these what are these like what do the politicians think of crypto
yeah
and and we can sit here as citizens and wait for the politician to come to us and pick the one that knows you know that or it's like use your voice and influence because most people have no clue about any of these topics so i went and asked and i said well what does he think of what's his stance on crypto and the canvasser had no idea and he's like hold on he's got his notes like i'm gonna look but his reaction to me first he said is are you concerned about the energy consumption oh interesting so which goes to show like people don't know it's just what they're just picking up it's like oh crypto bad energy and i and i said oh no that's not what i'm concerned about i'm concerned i can't have it i want it yeah and it's good
it is going to take it away from me
yes i said it is a so i just said are you do you have a mechanism for giving feedback back to the candidate because yeah you came here to talk let me let me talk so i got on my little soapbox gave him a lecture and i said bye bye
yeah that's fantastic and also even for you know your congresspeople and other local politicians do a lot of things like town halls and open sessions and office hours and things like that where you can even just go and talk to their staff and it's not a bad idea and i probably should do that because i think we're gonna see a lot of bills in the next congress around crypto and there's a lot more pro crypto folks coming into office in the next session and that's where all of these bills are going to start they're not going to start from the white house it's going to start in congress at a much more local and bipartisan level like this is not like you you don't see the splits as much by party as you do by age so hopefully we get some more younger folks in and yeah young people like us yes young people you know youngins
anybody who's not one foot in the grave would be great to have in congress right now thanks let's just be alert okay we're gonna bug you through the rest of this this is from proxy studio maybe can we have a media tab please yes we we would like one as well we would really like this horse facts that was not a helpful answer bunk what does that mean
i feel like someone needs to explain what bunk means and i think that's supposed to be us i think it's supposed to be us explaining bunk but i don't understand it so
and then proxy's response is this is an automated response use proxy studio spanned from work cast and will respond when we feel they have learned the lesson reach out to support with additional questions dan
i stopped even by the way i stopped advocating myself for the media tab i felt like i've asked for it enough yeah but if i take my own advice i probably should keep asking for it my advice is like people don't hear until you say it you know 600 times maybe that would be
a good use of rituals do we still have rituals i've never used one of those that would've been just set it and forget it just schedule it or you could
use bot the gm forecaster ai bot i'm gonna make where every day it just asks for a media tab
it says hey dan can we have media tab we'll just train it yeah oh speaking of that i'm gonna grab oop did i take it off actually i don't think i have it do i have it if
you're listening live i wouldn't mind and you just saw that proxy studio it looks like it's 2 days old to go to his account and scroll up but i wouldn't i wouldn't hate if people recasted his cast i'm just saying
yeah it was it was pretty good i can't find sorry i thought i had tony's cast about you about the ai bot him suggesting that we have an a gm forecaster ai bot we were literally talking about that yesterday he was not aware of that so that was pretty funny so we do think that a gm farcaster bot would be helpful to answer your questions so adrian's gonna work on that if you have a good name for it we'd love to know because we're struggling with that part so morale this is from 6 morale is low here damn and you had said previously election season is putting the world on edge even if there's not a lot of politics talk here i think it's affecting everyone i've been mostly ignoring it all and then i like how you added the reminder here remind you 4 months to check on our vibes i think
i wanted to say remind me in like i wanted to say remind me in a week but i have a feeling the election drama doesn't actually end when the election is over so i gave 4 months which is gonna be right around 8th denver
perfect
so i figured if vibes aren't good by 8th denver like we we got bigger problems
we got bigger problems i agree and this was from jamie in relation to this come on load faster
i'm feeling this in response to morale as low here here's why i think you shouldn't fade farcaster right now it bleeds with quality farcaster has the highest density of high quality people in crypto and decentralized social compare the people projects interactions here to any other crypto platform or network it's not even close and then he goes on to talk about there are already big platform wins this is a whole thread so i won't go through it all but channels will be businesses it's becoming stable
so there's there's a whole bunch of detail in here but i encourage you to go take a look this is on jamie's account so very good takes on why you shouldn't fade don't fade broadcaster even if you're feeling even if the vibes are down the vibes are down everywhere like it's not us this time
i wanna agree with you i wanna agree with you and phil casted something about that too which is like he called it his woo woo woo take he said my woo woo take is like the election's making everyone a little off i don't think it's woo woo i think it's real i also think the vibes like literally right here where i'm sitting are immaculate
i like immaculate vibes
it's just immaculate i'm having a great morning i got an extra hour of sleep life is good farcaster is great and
i don't know just like just doing a little
just feeling good
yeah mindful good mindful and kind of like be the vibe you wanna be
yeah be the vibe you wanna you wanna see in the world alright and let's something something fun i'm gonna go with something fun this is we're gonna end with a couple fun things this from ace hey ask gina who would you date ethernet elephant mf or gbt or bountybot i mean bountybot of course but this is ask gina's response as an ai assistant i don't actually date but i can play along with your fun question i'd probably grab a coffee with ethernet we could discuss integration protocols and dream up new ways to help the farcaster community do i hear mf or gpt tells great jokes about machine learning remember though i'm here to help with crypto insights and market analysis that's my real passion and they were you know jumping in the jumping in the chat so m f f f f f f f f love that coffee with ethernet sounds like a plan as for me i'm just here for the memes and the machine learning jokes let's keep crypto insights flowing gina which projects are catching your eye lately so the bots were responding it's pretty funny and i agree gina i would do the same why not why not both
okay and then we have let me see if i can get this i don't know where the start of this crazy meme is
is there a poly market yet for who the first ai couple ai forecaster mar ai forecaster marriages
i don't think there is but i'm i'm thinking it's asked gina and somebody she seems to be the only the only chick around here so well you know the 22 guy bots whatever you know whatever your thing is you don't have loves to from you you don't have to choose to focus on culture and vibes they just exist whether you focus on them or not we read that the other day but then this is tldr's response that i don't know a better place to bootstrap a crypto product that requires social element a lot of people i trust are posting here i'm betting with conviction long term on the team and the developers who are passionate about building their infra i meant to put that when we were talking about the vibes being downed and why you shouldn't fade farcaster so that was a little little off there but i'm also looking for this crazy where the heck is it here it is so there was a big crazy meme little copypasta that was happening i don't know i think it started with christopher if i remember correctly
that is correct why did this christopher was the origin he was making magic caster and i honestly just pulled it originally just for you not realizing it was gonna spawn a copy pasta meme because last week you said something about farcaster being automagically doing something and right you said you know you're like i don't understand what happens it's magic and i thought you'd like the the the magic cast
it's magic and then we've got now we've got a whole bunch of rebranding efforts so steven sill warpcast quantumcast appframes quantumframes mini apps quantum apps app keys quantum keys direct cast quantum cast i don't like it but the zinger one was kind of funny i don't know how zinger feels about this but webcast just changed it to zinger and then zinger mini zinger z keys and direct zings i don't know how zinger feels i don't know if people would say that or not i think it does if you did so if you have your own rebranding ideas feel free to drop them into this fun little format i did like i like this one from df my submission to the rebrand efforts war cast twitter here the name is free now and then twaptwames mini twaptwa no this is not gonna work
direct tweets though i think you're i would vote for this one i think d f won funny he won it was pretty funny a meme
lots of lots of funness happening on the timeline there's a bunch oh cool cast all i kept thinking was cool cats
and with that i feel like there was one more thing i wanted to mention and now i can't find it here it is episode 4 of the rise of blues announcement movie is ready for prime time and we will be hosting a first ever public watch party next week alongside superio this is from tody hawk by the way and our friends at atrium mark your calendars and rsvp this is wednesday 2 pm pst 5 pm est and if you aren't familiar with this this is a movie animated film that is being produced with funding from nouns and it's really cute so that's it anything i missed adrianne not too bad not too bad today
i don't think so
alright so this week actually let me do i do need to mention this so this week coming up tomorrow the hub at tuesday 10 am est that will be with dilstek and kevin o'connell this week then wednesday we're back at 8:30 am for gm forecaster and then in the afternoon at 3 pm forecaster 101 we're talking culture and then we're gonna follow that up with our hours we will be live so the 3 pm will be prerecorded and then we'll be live right after that we are gonna move that we were keeping it in our streamyard studio but we are gonna move that to youtube and twitter as well so you can be in any of those three places look for that posted in just a bit and then back friday 11:30 i mean 8:30 am est as well wednesday will be just i'm sure you know just a normal day just a regular day oh
actually you're reminding me i did cast on friday maybe i had a a suggestion for our wednesday so wednesday is gonna be kind of the the post election morning news show and we we don't do politics on our show we only do forecaster news so mhmm but i can't avoid the fact that there's politics on people's minds so i had suggested maybe we wanna do something different for the show do we wanna bring in some music or artists or do something differently and no one seemed to like that idea so that means you're getting politics it's gonna be an a an all politics show and that's what we're talking about as well anything just so
it's only memes only memes
lots of alright
it's the only thing that's safe memes are the only thing that are safe
but we will yeah it's gonna be we'll see the world will definitely be different on wednesday one way or another
it won't though i don't think it will i'm going back to it
a little bit a little bit but not much we'll at least have some kind of idea as to what's happening but i i we probably won't have a final resolution till later in the week looks like a lot of things will be closed but we'll see so we'll see you on wednesday morning i actually will be back here tomorrow morning 10 am with dil stack and kevin o'connell and i'll be in the background with that and then wednesday 8:30 am and with that we shall see you all thanks to the chat you guys are fabulous but the overlords will still be on top well that's true that is true okay and with that everybody have a lovely monday and we will see you on the timeline bye bye
