yep and then the and then light all your candles at like assuming everyone has humankind candles at home you do you light them at home so then you get the smell in your house while she's making it it's quite special exactly
exactly so you get the it's a full it's sen sensovision sensovision there you go alright let's dive into all the things i had to start with this just because i thought it was hilarious
blockchain so funny
blockchain
blockchain so funny just for no reason whatsoever i just had to show that one because great thought it was funny this would have been my background had i been able to do a virtual background today that would have been it i mentioned samantha's gonna be with us on friday doing some candle making but she's doing a 5 days of humankind this week so she's doing a fabric fundraiser today with nonlinear and she's giving away 5 sam's candle club subscriptions then tomorrow find your zen with our rest and rejuvenate holiday sale featuring brand new candle launch with knitcirc and then day 3 enter made by marge giveaway so very cool we love marge marjorie with her hand thrown coffee cup of candles very cool and then day 4 celebrate 1 year anniversary with lamb chops exclusive collectible nft for humankind so this is like a really fun week of events kind of sailing into the gift giving season because why wouldn't you give a candle to somebody like a humankind candle of course you should yeah it's amazing also happening starting today cyber monday this is from brics bounty and this involves the oil token so for oil whales and tycoons starts now ends 10 pm monday december 2nd that's today you can read all these different rules here what you need to do to be eligible but she is giving away or she he he i don't think i always think of brooks as a she but i'm just not i don't know why it's the only time i do that the other way usually it's the assumption goes the other direction i don't know why so 3 oil whales or tycoons are gonna get the etsd value of a new iphone 16 d gen 1 and a rock camera like that's pretty amazing so there you go check that out if you have if you're holding some oil by the way friendly reminder
not financial advice
not financial advice
cryptocurrencies are volatile by the way who does bricks bounty think they are like building a community around a meme coin
i know right like no he didn't get the memo he did not get the memo that you're not
supposed to try and do
that i know right it's craziness by the way yeah like there's been so many meme coins that have come and gone over the past week or even the past weekend like it's crazy how quickly things are moving so i really do appreciate bricks and some other folks and like what we're doing with cast out like we're you know we're thinking about it a little differently in terms of meme coin and using it more for like this is a good way to get attention but not necessarily to build something so yeah it's interesting so i like what i like what bricks is doing though it's cool that they're they're building something different something a little different so yeah interesting
and i don't think of bricks as a he or she i think of bricks as a cabbage farmer catch kid
yeah okay maybe that's it
that's a farmer joke sorry let's move on i see the farmer
he's a farmer i got it i got it it only it only works if you know they're a farmer he's a farmer okay in other news frames v two has launched new frames v two tutorial covering this is from horsebacks covering warp cast dev mode the app manifest and v two embed format so horsebacks has dropped a lot of really helpful like resources to help you with frames v 2 this was 1 by the way i love that he added the mister beast type of like cover art so funny like literally mister beast but yeah good way to get attention there and then
he's just doing frames content
yes did you didn't know amazing amazing right i didn't know he was on farcaster so who
needs who needs marketing
when you got mister we've got mister feast and frame and frame frame demos frame v 2 demo thread a thread of all the v two frames so far see below for more yoink and on chain capture the flag game so yoink has been the demo frame since frames came out right so that's been the purpose of yoink and it turned into just like a fun thing to do so this one is now on chain so it does require a transaction and this was i'm sure to test transactions and frames not as fun it's not as fun i'm just telling you it
has its
it's just it's a little bit of friction it's a little bit of friction and but and and it doesn't i know why it has friction for this reason like i understand that he's testing something but it's like it doesn't need it so that's why it feels like friction if it's something that's useful it's gonna feel like magic so it's just you know i get it
i like seeing yoink in my wallet though the flag in my wallet's kinda cool
okay that's a good point that's a good point but there are some other cool things here fc box po boxes farcaster
moto which is a fastest way to swap wow meme coins db stats there's a whole bunch of like fun little things here bob dylan's blog in a frame so a whole bunch of things here check it out lots of things being developed and being added to this thread so we'll have this in the show notes you can go check out all the different frames that are dropping this was interesting from dylan and from dilsack and i'll i'm sure he'll dive into this tomorrow on the hub but just briefly he converted a v1 frame to a v2 frame and then went through all the different steps and what it took to do this and it said it took him about 45 minutes to make this transition but i'm gonna leave that for him to talk about tomorrow as i'm sure he will on the hub at 10 am and then we had this happen too on the same day like what are they doing to us like why why did you have to drop it all at the same time question for tomorrow so new on wharf gas starter packs help friends quickly find their community on farcaster curate up to 100 accounts in a pack unlimited packs share the link and anyone can follow all with a single tap optional packs can have categories that map to warpedast onboarding interests we're hoping to feature the best packs curated by users in onboarding soon i e community driven auto follow list here's an example pack to follow the warpcast team so this is i'm not logged in so you won't be able to see what it looks like but i don't think let me see if it works but i don't think it will oh maybe it will no i have to open warpcast for a tour so it'll show you the folks who are the accounts that are in this pack and we actually created a farcaster native media pack so for anyone who's doing different media that is about farcaster or features farcaster that is what this pack is for we were both apparently creating the same pack at the same time
like immediate like immediate i think i
you're like wait i like i
think i called it the same thing too it was like farcaster native media
yeah farcaster native media
but yours you created from the gm farcaster account which i liked better mine was from my adrian account so you win
i did my why i did that too and i because i didn't know
oh because yeah you can't add yourself to a you can't add yourself starter pack why would you not be able to
because you're automatically added
that's also dumb
yeah i agree so i didn't so the first thing is i thought i'm like why can't i add myself i'm not gonna create this if i can't add myself to it so i went and did it in gmparcaster and then somebody answered that was the reason like you're automatically added so that's why and then the gm farcaster is on that one so that that worked out well but i was like okay we need to make sure that and the other thing i would really love is channels and he said that's coming because most of them at least from the media perspective a lot of them have a lot of us have channels and not an account we happen to have both but you know i'd like to include okay banger's channel i'd like to include you know early morning crew late night crew like those channels i think are as useful or more useful than the people so
yes because when you're doing topic based channels you include all these people and then these people are casting about things that have nothing to do with the topic right so then if you're thinking about like from a new person coming in it's not very helpful like to follow all the people you wanna follow topics you know because i think channels are canonical topics i've been told yeah and also you can get rewards for running hubs and also there's gonna be a token it's that was all jokes
those were all jokes and those were all not true
channels are not canonical topics they're communities anyway
but i was thinking of like what type of starter pack i'd wanna do and it's almost like less about topic but like here's the list of people i like and this is who i would give to my friend to help them start like you you know if you wanna seed your feed with interesting people so it's almost like these are the people i like in which case
yeah so i think it depend yeah for that kind of a thing and i've seen some like underrated fall you know follows things like that which have been super helpful i think linda did one that was like i was like oh these are some cool people that i was not following but for yeah for if it's a topic thing you want the channels to go with those topics for sure so i'm i'm feeling like i'm missing yeah i'm missing that part of it
jeff no jeff casting now that i heard jim park there will be an fcm based tokens of 2025 no jeff no jeff there will be no token there will be no token it's halfway around the world before the truth gets out of bed very nice that was funny alright back to it where were we where were we this is kind of i have weird quirky things happening with my new computer that i'm just like i can't it's it's not working the same so i'm just adjusting oh this was great
for from pfista and buoy but also from dwr
starter pack directory use boi or ninar to surface all the starter pack links that are publicly share index and display in a searchable interface if someone builds this and it's halfway decent we would consider adding more formal apis public category mapping etc so if you are interested in building that and it may already be built and i just haven't seen it yet that is pretty cool but also bui did do a feed a starter pack feed so if you have booi then you can go check that out i think you can access it even if you don't have the subscription so go check that out super helpful to finding the new starter packs i need to go check that out also and because there's a couple starter packs i wanna create that i wanna see if they're out there already before i do that because then i don't need to this was a fun little game can you get greater than 8 points it is a basketball game and i forgot i'm not logged in so i can't show you the frame but it is really fun i cannot get more than 7 points no matter how hard or how hard i try and i am yes this may end up in cast out so you've been how
do you play on i i was playing with touch screen how do you play with the mouse
i think it would be really hard you can
is it click and drag
yeah probably click and drag yeah it would be really tough it probably it
will unless you're
a gamer unless you're a gamer then they probably know the tricks
rumor has it that frames v 2 is gonna address some of the slowness of frames v 1 like frames v 1 there were issues with just kind of latency and
yep
and i will say this first game did feel much faster and kind of so good job
yeah well done
good job devs
and it's a fun little it's a fun little game
extremely frustrating though
yes when the ball's on the side yeah to the side
or when the ball doesn't go
in the hoop yeah it just doesn't go in the stupid hoop or just can't like get it to go where you want it to go yeah very frustrating or when you're just completely think you're doing it right and yet it still doesn't go in the hoop it's like so very frustrating but a lot of fun have fun
by the way yes to crypto he said what if lies earned fees every time they were uttered
i feel like they do i feel like they do
that's what i was gonna say i literally think that's the world we live in
so i think we i think it is honestly
and we need to pause here for a a psa but first carl carlos these starter packs are starting to break up internet friendships friends just saying because people are feeling sad that they're left out of starter packs so adrienne what should they know about that
how do people even know they're not in starter packs like are you going into the starter packs yes and looking for yourself and seeing yourself not there okay
yes that's exactly what's happening
yes there's something about like unless you're dwr i think who happens to be in every starter pack like he's just everywhere i think it's one of those things it's like when you look you're never gonna find yourself but once again the the very i think within like 30 seconds and this might have been in response to something yes to crypto said within 30 seconds of starter coming out i had to remind people it's okay if people aren't adding you to their starter pack because that is not your worth people
yeah
your worth does not come from other people adding you to their starter packs they're playing around with some new toy it doesn't actually really matter you're you are good enough you are smart enough people like you in real life you have tremendous worth and alina ferri of course had a public tantrum within a few minutes afterwards and i talked her off the ledge as well it's okay guys i'm not in any starter you know i'm not in any starter packs either maybe except for farfaster native media
you're in the
but i'm not in any of the cool kids ones no one's like adding me to like good casting it doesn't matter i know i am a good caster i know
i know they're not you know you don't need you don't need you don't you don't need that recognition i get it i get it no yeah so everybody just chill it's all good
it's okay
and also go make
your own
and also you can go make your own this is an opportunity for another starter pack opportunity for another starter pack and also opportunity to mute people there you go
so adrienne this podcast is to start so thank you for adding things
metadavid is it the
cool podcasters though probably not there's probably like a cool kids podcast list that i'm not in
only thred guys on that one we're not a lot we're too old for that one this from dwr improvements for muted keywords and users just in time so you can mute the people who aren't including you in the starter packs i'm just kidding just kidding but you could if it's really well made you should
be like
so if you add dollar sign as a mute you'll mute all casts with tokens if you add dollar sign token whatever the token name is as a mute it will mute cast with that specific token if you mute a user you'll also mute cast that mentions them e g a non accounts or token deploying accounts so that's interesting click the link below to deep link into settings additional update to muted keywords if you mute a domain casts and with frames and urls from that domain won't appear in your feed you can find the frames url below the bottom right corner so that's pretty cool those are some powerful mutes to help your feed to be what you want it to be so be the feed you wanna see in the world there you go
take control of your sanity and your feed don't complain about the tokens mute them
just mute them and remember you are not exit liquidity actually you are actually here's what you should remember you are exit liquidity you are unless you are immediately in like you're probably somebody's excellent liquidity so just be aware of that if you're playing around with meme coins and be very careful and just know that that is the case so careful out there people this from anon cast so this is there's a a whole i don't even think we got into the discussion too much about the end of last week with anon cast and anon the new anan cast token deployer and all of that so there's a whole bunch of things going on but this is a non anan anan molded by the anan set who's trained on and contributes bangers to anan cast built by anan core with the help of some nerd sniped cracked ai devs can you guess which bangers are theirs this is the very very beginning of a ton of innovations we have coming don't sleep anon so i don't know exactly what's going on here i can barely follow that but it's essentially an ai that's trained on the anon casts so to do what i'm not quite sure but we'll we'll see to continue casting anonymously i guess so it's gonna be interesting
and we had a whole bunch of launches last week a whole bunch of things happening what's been really interesting and is that clanker has been added to the far economy dashboard i don't think we talked about this last week i think this i think this was after wednesday over 7,000,000 in revenue generated for the ecosystem in less than 2 weeks with over 4.2 that 4.2 k clankers launched exceptional founders' ability to make money in a single most important indicator up for influx of new founders and users in farcaster fareconomy.com tracks the leading indicators so very interesting and then proxies sort of summary of this one of the hardest things about building when no one cares is trying to make enough noise that even a few people will try your product when many people care one of the hardest things for me has been blocking out the noise trying staying focused on our vision and goals we built clanker to validate a thesis memecoins belong where people post memes agents make complicated stuff simple we think pump clones will die and are building a different model vo is a start we are building a team iterating around what a free to use consumer product can do for crypto social and the open internet there is a lot to share about the path ahead the entities and people involved appreciate all the feedback and support for messi so that was a pretty what i've i think like that speaks a lot to how i'm feeling about clanker versus a lot of other meme coin launchers and i feel like this goes back to your very first feelings about dgen and that like why you wouldn't wouldn't claim it until it was like but there's a thoughtful dev and there's interesting things and then you were like okay
okay
okay okay as as long as it's not all about the money but also
is by the way and jacek is still building still building so he's still being thoughtful
yeah yeah and i i'm not
saying it
and there's there's no end in sight to that either right you don't there there's zero fear that he's gonna disappear like he's still grinding away and that to me is what makes it interesting that's what makes ham interesting deployer's always doing new things he's been doing a lot of stuff with proxy like so there's there's all these thoughtful people who are building in that ecosystem and it's just a little different than what you see in a lot of other spaces so yeah so
yeah interesting
for to proxy's point of like you can go from like being very very quiet and a nobody in a network and kind of just like tinkering tinkering to like 3 days later being the most popular person on the internet and you know then you have all different types of problems
yeah yeah you've got a whole new set of problems when you have all the attention yeah and also attention is fleeting and so that's you know we call them meme coins but the ones that stick are the true meme coins the other ones are really shit coins because they they come and go very quickly but the meme coins are the ones that stick around long you know long term and doge being the best example of that you can you know die a hero or live long enough to become a government agency i guess learning there i don't know but i do think there's there's something to be said of those who i feel like are here for the longer term they're doing something interesting it's more it's not just about can i make this quick hit and get out you know similar to the way meme goings work but it's it is pretty interesting and then kartik or sloke who's been doing the anan stuff on anan cast very had some interesting iterations as well towards the end of next week so he had made a noncast and then we may he made 2 other types of anonymous posting casts we don't want the main a noncast accounts this is from slok visibility reduced so we have made the following changes the raw now anon cast feed is now at raw anon the curated anon cast feed is now at anon cast unfortunately a few people had to ruin it for the rest well of course but we solve problems as they come up and keep experimenting and this was in response to dwr saying if personal attacks increase in volume the visibility of an a non account on warp cast will be reduced this applies to any account you're not entitled to be a jerk just because it's a non account and you'll ruin the distribution of the account for everyone else so you can still see the account he goes on he goes on to say notes if you follow an account you'll always be able to see it unless it's nerfed this doesn't apply to other clients unaffected at the protocol level we haven't done anything to the non accounts yet and don't think we will have to optimistic that the teams behind them will figure out ways to self police and they did so there you go you know of course there's always that but you're censoring us yes they are they're curating they're curating the feed and get over it like sounds like an opportunity for another client
i saw screenshots of of dan's cast on twitter and people trying to dunk like oh thought you were decentralized yeah reminder
yeah
should we farcaster the protocol is a sufficiently decentralized social network where the definition of sufficiently decentralized means 2 people can communicate with each other if they want to even if the rest of the network doesn't want them to so if you have dan not wanting you to communicate as long as you as an individual user can still communicate with 1 more individual user then that's sufficiently decentralized
there you go
and if you want to build the no censorship protocol you can
yeah exactly
on farcaster
yeah exactly
our call is not censored
exactly so there's always that possibility you can it it sounds like an opportunity for another client
it's a really shitty place to be though so i won't be there
have fun with that and speaking of kartik he talked with laura shin earlier this week about all things in on cast so that's pretty cool so this is from laura shin vitalik buterin aped into the social social media oh thank you social media app anoncast what what's it about private social media app anoncast has quickly grabbed the crypto community's attention generating thousands of posts in a week and a half in this special black black friday episode kartik patel hold on sorry i had to go over to the other place
one moment please in this special black friday episode kartik patel joins unchained to discuss why adoncast has taken off so quickly the tech behind anonymous posting that's the z k the challenges of balancing privacy with accountability so i haven't had a chance to listen to this yet but i need to that to my listening today but always love lara shin's interviews anyways so very cool
to say that kartik patel can we just only use farcaster names
slow
by the way
i know
my my sister listened to gm farcaster recently so she oh
she did
pulled up didn't watch the video like just pulled it up on apple podcast or something so just the voice and she was like what the heck are you talking about and mostly it was the names of people like it was like she's like i could tell you were talking about people but couldn't understand one thing we were saying and i was like sorry
we'll have to fix that i'll have to add something to the beginning like if you're only listening to this
no it i don't even think it was
just the voice matter
people listen i listen back sometimes to just the voice it's fine if you're in farcaster but it's like
oh yeah
if you're just like one of our siblings trying to listen in to figure out a glimpse into our world
no i don't i don't rec i do not recommend this to my family unless we're doing an interview then it's a little different like you can follow along a little better but even then it depends on who we're interviewing yeah like i don't know it's gonna be hard yeah but it's fun though it's fun though we're having fun just know siblings were happy and we're having fun okay a few more things okay so let's level set this one actually let me start with this i'm gonna start with this chris corella dropped a meme coin yesterday called corella c corella and with his little nownish heart as the image and then he wrote a paragraph about this which of course is not showing properly because i'm not logged in but in the future everything will be tokenized but maybe not by you my thoughts on creating a clinker in my likeness and some more about why i wanted to do it and in that he goes in to say that part of his thinking was if i don't do it somebody else is probably gonna do it so i might as well do it myself we've had this discussion around fan tokens for moxie when there was a push for you know launch your fan token and i had a little bit of a pushback on that because it was like there's there's things that go along with that when you're a creator where there's certain be certain expectations there's gonna be certain people who want you to do x y z or have ex expectations for this so but then chris was sort of advocating for saying you know i'd rather i have control of this token than somebody else do it for me and not long after this
by the way tivo can still create c corolla tokens even though he's gonna
but then at least i think it was more about the provenance and saying okay this is the real one kinda thing
within that that spirit of like taking control of like if i'd rather do it i love that energy and like could kinda widely apply that to many things in life
yeah so i totally get it and i was you know i've thought about this myself like i get it and then we see this happen from and i saw another one as well we've seen the dan tokens get launched many times like so it shouldn't be that surprising but this was an anonymous person on the a non fun account that launched a clanger saying hey clanger launch a token called ted not lasso with the ticker ted and the image below which is her pfp it's time we start to use anonfun and clanger to honor the farcaster goat accounts starting with our queen ted so if this was you or if you're thinking about doing this for anybody else on the timeline check with them first because i'm gonna guarantee you they're probably gonna say please don't do that because if i wanted a token i'd launch a token i can cast just as well as you
at least they got her gender right true story
that's true
and ted is so good about genuine questions and leeward bound if you scroll down had the best answer to the why
oh hold on let me see if i can find it
there it is yep
oh yep up up yep whoops nope oh to profit off your cloud yes yeah that's it and yeah and bricks and bricks bounty said something it's called extraction i think it's called extraction yeah to profit off your cloud absolutely so because the question that ted asked genuine question why why honor me in honoring quotes this way compared to any other way and it she you know she's saying genuine question but also kinda knowing the answer right because the only reason to do this anonymously is to try and profit off somebody else's social capital yeah period
my feeling is giving everyone the benefit of the doubt whoever did this i don't i don't actually think they realize what they're doing okay maybe but it's not thoughtful it's like you know it's like and i think it's also like you're you're forgetting that ted is a person behind the account it's like there's this is like the whole power of social right it's just like oh ted popular account and behind like a graphic pfp like so you end up forgetting there's human and it's like i think there's this collective ownership over the goat accounts like and when you know dare i say celebrity it's like celebrities aren't human we can we can own it so i don't know if someone was like consciously like hey i'm gonna profit off of ted's account but that is what you're doing no it is i mean this is why we're talking about it i think we can educate like don't do it
don't do this
think you should do it don't do it
do not do this it's a bad idea like anonymously or otherwise but also to this is why i say i if it wasn't done anonymously i might agree with you the fact that it was done using the a non account feels like i'm gonna see what i can do here that's what it feels like to me but i could be wrong maybe they
have good intentions i agree i think it is i just don't well whatever i don't know if everybody is always thinking that same way with in the moment but now we're educating you don't do it
yeah no don't do it
you're doing it you're clout chasing and you're extracting you're taking advantage of exactly nobody else and
it's cool go take a look at chris corella's write up on this and he talks about this exact thing so it was pretty interesting few other cool things that happened this is bankr so introducing banker the first ai agent built to quickly buy coins for you all through your social feed see a new clinker tell banker to buy some for you want to buy 5 different coins at once tell banker simply tag banker with the coins you want to buy specifying the ticker or contract address also you have to fund the wallet it's very cool but it is still a little clunky but it is pretty cool and proxy had added a note here i have been chatting a bit with deployer as he builds us out incredibly impressed natural language is a huge unlock hope to find some ways to work together here so it's cool to see people building on top of what proxy is building like that is something i always love about farcaster is that vibe of immediately let's build let's see what else we can build so very cool and to to do oh this was a token that was launched this week this weekend called native cool information i can learn about native just by looking at clanker's new token contracts derek is fid 193 he's an early forecaster user who joined in the initial wave likely invited personally by dwr and in close proximity to merkle crypto founders in the industry i can look at derek's wallet what coins does he hold which hyper sub has he supported 3 i can find the provenance of the coin derek's launch post i can go to warcast.com/derek and add the contract so programmable social is meant to live on chain so why i thought this was cool was it kinda got us thinking a little bit too about like does the early fid actually indicate anything and i started thinking about that because in another chat i'm in somebody built a bot that will show you the new clankers that are being launched and it will notify anybody who has a low if it has a low fid and sometimes that means nothing because you can have anybody just playing around but sometimes it can be an indicator of something interesting and this was pretty interesting they're launching something larger along with native it's not just you know it's similar like what we were talking about with oil earlier they're doing something different with us so you might find something in that but it doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to be it might be something interesting it may not be something necessarily lucrative right so choose your choose your fighter so but it's interesting yes
and low fid means you were early and likely somehow connected to you know dan doesn't mean you're necessarily thoughtful or a good person or anything and your fid is not your worth
and your fid i was waiting for that yeah like and
you've got a 6 7 figure fid you're still abusing you're still lovely here
we still we still like you this from yes yes farcaster cat farcaster caster retention rates till october also farcaster power user curve almost 6 k users casted every day for the past 30 days we'll post the updated retention chart among other analysis in my group chat join here so just thought this was interesting the you know the retention rate over time and there was some other discussion around and i forgot to pull this cast around whether or not the meme coin mania drives new users and drives retention and it definitely has driven new users like there's no question we we had a wave with dgen i think we've definitely seen a wave with clanger and you've seen a people come back as well because oh it's something interesting let me come back and see what's going on that kind of thing too i think this time around it's been more
of that
not necessarily brand new but people who are coming back who were who already had an account but are interested in what's going on that kind of thing so but interesting to see
by the way 6,000 users casting every day feels like significant that's not like significant yeah that's not necessarily d 30 that's literally like daily active
yeah
4
that does seem to be significant yeah for sure just a reminder is it this time last year it's this time last year right we had just gone permissionless mhmm so daily active users at that point were about a1000
let no no that wasn't even that wasn't daily that was like one action in the protocol over the past 2 or so like yeah
over the past 2 weeks yep that's what it was yep active in the past 2 weeks and there were 938 in that are in october when the og token dropped so still you're looking at yeah minimum a 6 x minimum probably more so pretty cool in a year yeah probably
few other fun things happening this from afro chicks day 1 of fitcember mobility challenge fitcember is a 31 days of fitness workouts complete and earn i'm gonna say dollar sign because i'm not sure exactly what you're earning so why is mobility important it allows you to move more freely and easily it prevents injuries it reduces pain and stiffness it improves flexibility give these a try and don't forget to tag me in the replies with your photos mushiecam receipts and videos to enter the 5th december leaderboard and earn something tokens of some sort so this is really cool i love what naomi's always doing different things like this and i think this is amazing and also is a really good little workout i have to say because those are all my good those are all my stretches that i always do as well and they're really good so highly recommend this from sparks
so let me back up here bogus bob was launched and it is a new way to launch a token on solana using just a command so it is like clanker but for solana and on farcaster on farcaster and jc was one of the first ones that i've seen or one of the only ones i've seen really i'm i'm sure there's been a lot more but i haven't been watching this one too closely bogus bob launched a token called good morning ticker gm used this image and i thought that was hilarious because the image is good morning you need to calm the fuck down
so jc this is hilarious and then bogus bob did launch it just similarly to clanker but without the fancy token page but pretty cool so now you can launch on solana as well exciting things
did you connect your solana wallet
i did i connected yes i connected my solana wallet like immediately after they were here with us so yep i did
k last thing i think 2 more things this from ideas today was a total fast forward this is your background total fast forward with farcaster this network is a combination of my dreams intuitively feels like an original internet and my nightmares financial transactions thanks for your help and support i was able to claim dgens successfully bridge ethereum to base and connect and post on rodeo basically 3 nightmares faced and turned into allies now i am starting to understand this much better and i would like to thank everyone for being so supportive and hopefully i will be able to reciprocate and amazing so very cool to see and this is one of those folks who's coming in this new wave so there you go amazing and i love
i love that cast and that
i loved it too yeah it was great
and it's funny because yeah so great to see the whole financialization i think really does turn people off and but then it's almost like okay but then you start trying things and experimenting and then you become a little more open to crypto i think and so it just it's an interesting experience too
for sure
yeah and by the way i think other people that we know may have launched solana coins
oh really oh snowick didn't stoick do one i
think yesterico did
oh yesterico did oh and cool
and he he he he may or may not be feeling upset that we didn't that we didn't shout
him out see it
shouted but he already gets that it's not his worth
it's not your worth yeah it's not your worth i i didn't even see it so i'll have to go look for it
but shout out cheers i think that's a
i'm guessing that's what it is yeah where everybody knows your name could be could be
lastly oh actually i wanna jump back to this you mentioned the financial transaction fear i had this conversation with some of the guys in the chat chatting about meme coins because it's all guys and me and just noting to them because this is when blonde launched and they're like you know why why are the women getting so excited and it was like well because you know it's finally somebody it's for them by no did the by women
did the boys get annoyed about the no
they get it no no not at all but they were just like so why and that one of the questions we were talking about was like why aren't there more women in crypto and my thesis is that women are more risk averse overall in general just tend to be more risk averse tend to take a little bit more time before investing money and things i i know i am incomparatively to other you know and i am i am a lot more open to risk than most and i still comparatively to the to you know the guys who are d ginning like crazy i'm nowhere near like their risk level so i just see it in general when i've talked to different women about crypto that that seems to be where the issue or the friction is is that they're more risk averse what do you think of that theory yes no what's your experience there
very possible i feel like i'm not gonna be able to answer the like why aren't there more women in anything i know quickly yeah
i mean i don't know there's i'm not up for this conversation right now i don't really wanna do it like i'll come back a little bit like yeah crypto is it is you have like the it's very technology driven and it's very financial driven
yep
and i think you've got kind of 2 sectors that are traditionally more male dominated anyway you put 2 of them together what do you expect i don't like many many reasons
and then you could argue then what are we doing to make it more open for you know like more accessible and open and inviting for people who don't necessarily see themselves as you know there's just so many misconceptions about what crypto is so like when people are living their busy lives it's like is crypto for me nope it looks like it's
yeah
you know all dudes in a casino not for me yeah but is crypto for me it's like oh look there's these 2 middle aged women jenna gen xers
yapping
for you yeah
yeah then for you maybe it's for you and we've so i don't know
so come on in
come on come on in we i recommend it
yeah it's kinda fun you should by the way this is hilarious you can see my dog in the background now because usually he's blocked by a usually he's blocked by the he's he's right there
a virtual background
we just no there's a dog there now and he's just chilling usually he's he's hiding in the other room or you can't see him behind the screen so that's hilarious i think with that we're gonna end it there anything else that we needed to tackle today adrianne
we didn't talk about marc andreessen on show road okay i cast i feel like you didn't do that on purpose that's okay
that's exactly where i was about to go and then i was looking at the time going should we go there so let's go there that's kinda where i was going i was starting to go in that direction so let's go there marc andreessen and joe rogan talking about the impact of deepfakes in politics rogan what's the solution p market blockchain everything from a politician will need everything from politician will need to be cryptographically signed and everything else needs to be written off rogen how would you integrate that with social media blockchain
i was literally like he's gonna say forecaster blockchain he didn't say forecaster he
didn't say forecaster he should've he said
but he did explain blockchain and it was just such a reminder that i was like oh right like people don't know people still don't know about blockchain they don't know about blockchain i don't understand and they don't understand about cryptography
have you okay so one of i think the best things to come out of that podcast and i am only an hour in it is a 4 hour long one in 4 hours yes i am an hour in wow yes
the whole thing yesterday
it's long so i am making my way through it i'm in the early days and i'm still in the part where i'm like i'm getting annoyed by some things but anyway we're gonna let that go
so good
but there is
i love that
what i've loved seeing is the discussion on debanking everywhere coming from that podcast and that to me is huge like so regardless of whatever like that's huge that that conversation is happening on a much wider scale and that people didn't realize what was going on when i'm like what do you mean you didn't know like what do you mean this wasn't a good like this has been a concern for me personally like i have i've had times where i'm like shit am i going to end up is my bank gonna cut me off because i'm doing transactions from coinbase because i kept seeing even chase like you know people chase shutting people down that i knew you know what i mean like just normal people yeah for using crypto and off ramping from from cx's so like yeah so that was like huge to have that conversation on such a large platform so appreciate him doing that work
and yeah i just i've heard him on podcast before and i always think he's just a little unhinged and wacko and that's his twitter personality and like just not it's fine but he was so nice
by the way
so i
by the way i found him i found him very excited very excited
i just thought he was it was such a reasonable measured conversation and i also think he did a really good job of just educating people on facts about crypto and and i thought it was a fantastic conversation
and i'm still in the politics part of it the first hour is like all politics so i have i'm like waiting to move more to the tech part of it so but also it was sorry it was politics and of course the roman empire because why wouldn't it be because because of course of course it is like here we go and the roman empire enters the chat again like of course but yeah i i it's it's great that some of that conversation is getting a much wider audience because i think that yeah more about the computer and less about the casino which is nice yeah well when they
were talking about social and just kind of deep fakes and whatnot obviously in my head i went to be like farcaster needs marketing right like yeah but but
say it
say farcaster say it
just say it mark
where's the pr person but the truth is is like no one thinks that this is a problem yet right like the just the world has no idea that even most of the world doesn't even understand like the impact of ai coming even if right they're not thinking about this they're not thinking about deep fakes they don't recognize that cryptography is the balance to a world we're messing you know israel yeah so it was just nice it it was a nice little validation of like oh yeah why am i spending all my time on farcaster it's because i think this is where the world has to get to i think this is the world we'll get to and i think it's worth kind of voting with my time and energy and helping build farcaster to be a place that is ready and it's like okay well we're doing all this stuff now to harden farcaster and and you know the the devs from literally from an infrastructure standpoint like if the world moved over today it would probably break and not work so well
from a so not the whole world but if you're watching us on twitter come on over yeah just just you just you right now
just you
i'm talking to you
but all the stuff we're doing just from like a culture perspective like oh there was a lot of talk over thanksgiving weekend about blue sky like my family is no one's ever heard of farcaster but they've heard of blue sky
i know
and oh yeah and rogan talked a lot about blue sky yeah blue sky really does seem like the i'm not even on it so i can't i'm only getting my i'm not even 10 people but yep it does seem like the we're on here because we hate elon
yeah yeah i mean it does seem like that that's what i gather from from what i'm seeing and we've had that conversation before about like you know why would you leave to it you know the the founder versus the the thing the platform and what's more important and and this and that so i think there's two sides to that like i get you you're not gonna spend some time spend your time somewhere where you're feeling very uncomfortable and that you just don't like the space anymore but also we saw the same thing when it was sort of twitter was leaning the other way and people were leaving for true social and what was that there was another one before that that everybody's going parler yeah so you know there was there's and i felt like that kind of got glossed over i'm like you guys are just not even touching that so that was a little it was definitely very you know one-sided but i think there's you know points to be made on that side as well like well you know there was that too yeah so i think we are more siloed and that's not necessarily good but i understand also like like if i'm gonna spend my time somewhere i'm not gonna spend it where i'm just gonna be aggravated all the time too
so but cozy corners
yeah yeah you have to tailor it the way you want it yeah
you know it's like twitter as kind of like the oh elon's twitter is the free speech platform blah blah blah blah blah blah blah anyway that's fine i only use my following feed on twitter now because my for you feed is 99% objectifying women like it is and and 1% elon's post like it's just it's like annoying like
it's like a lot of elon and stuff i don't wanna see
yes and it's like okay like
so i have multiple i have multiple twitter accounts my main account that is you're watching this on right now i have tailored this to be a crypto twitter account so it's been until the past 6 months it's been politics free it's been very it's been very focused and it's gotten a little off the rails but it's still pretty good and i have to just kind of be careful what i interact with and then i have another account that is completely all politics and that one i have to look at sparingly because it will throw me into like insanity of like wanting to just you know rail at the sky but it's i i have to choose not to go there that's all and then i can just choose the twitter i wanna be in the world
so that's all i'm fine
i'm fine
i'm finding myself even getting annoyed just having to like talk about politics i know i know i i know i brought this up i know i'm the one who pushed this today so i'm gonna that's
so funny
suggest we wrap up
we're gonna wrap there but i do have to finish i have to finish watching the podcast i do key marco we do appreciate you doing the work especially around the debanking and just talking about blockchain in general like to a much wider audience so yeah yeah we love that love seeing that
i didn't know he was such a he really sounds like a like a kind of a lefty liberal like traditional democrat on the podcast listen to the whole thing does and then he kind of you know he had this little switching moment his key marka yes listen you mean used
to be used to be or yeah okay that i believe i think that's a lot of tech and i get it i totally get it and i also think some of its age those 2 things happen in general i mean they do right you there's 2 things that will turn you more conservative it's age and money like really it just does
i think because yeah and listen balaji's been talking about the flippening of the parties yeah and you know and like i i i kinda feel like some of that's happening too right where well anyway whatever
there's a lot of yeah there's a lot there that we could dive into but there's also a lot of people who are more qualified to dive into it than we are so
i don't even know if it's qualified it's just no
you're qualified so more willing to have the discussion
but i'm already annoyed so i wanna go back into no
we don't like past week
i wanna just go back into yeah builder builder mode as opposed to
go back into builder mode yeah
mode we have a really good week
incredible week yeah so reminder as we wrap that tomorrow we do have dan coming on at 11:30 with us but before that we have dylan at 10 am who's gonna be diving into the more technical aspects of frames as well as anything else happening on farcaster with dev stuff so he's going full dev mode and then we have matt from dune coming on friday and also the farcaster friday's url edition with samantha doing some candle making which is gonna be a lot of fun and i will be in miami for our parcel and thank you snickerdoodle our sponsor for today's show and also one last thing i have to shout out purple thank you purple for voting for the prop so purple is the title sponsor of cast out they are sponsoring the major prize pool of 1 each for the winning tribe split in various ways so half of it will be going to the winner i will i will share more about that later and we also have a 100,000 dgen from the dgen team so thank you to both of them for sponsoring i'm super excited and that's going to be starting next week so if you want to play cast out and you want to jump into tribe and you want to play a little farcaster focused inspired survivor inspired game fill out that application because i am gonna be finalizing things hopefully by wednesday so i'm gonna be looking today at a few of the applications and reaching out to folks but get your applications in also yellow collective if you're in yellow collective there is a prop up now to sponsor castout and field a team so field a tribe so if you're at yellow collective look for that as well i think that's all the big announcements anything i missed
