Transcript: GM Farcaster ep20 Nov 3, 2023

i'm lonely i'm lonely history but here we go yep i think we are live gm farcaster it is november 3rd had to look friday november 3rd in farcaster fall we are now in day 3 of farcaster fall i believe i see you've got you're rocking the the day 2 amazingness that i love there's so many good really great mints that are happening right now so let's start there

so cameron's day 2 of fargaster fall meant this dynamic cocreation from chris co created and helped shape it into an even more beautiful nft so to contribute to this you go to the cocreated app and i believe you can use warps for that so there you go so that to actually use the app as well so there there's a way to use your warps it's very exciting we're gonna have

you're not allowed to show him that yeah his other works are just really really cool he's done them with all the different l twos he's done one for farcaster with like everybody's nate everyone's ids that were on there at the time like there's it's just really a very cool dynamic piece of art the spire was amazing the senior spire that he did where you have everybody's contributions coming in and i'm assuming it's gonna be something similar to that so i'm excited to see the final version i gotta go contribute i haven't contributed yet

you know those philosophical foxes they they tend to they tend to jump right into that philosophy side they're very thoughtful

so yeah i'm gonna actually was just gonna go to that cameron posted today jacob weird request but 3 people in the past few days have said i wanted to mint the forecaster fall nft but i was on mobile and it fails and then i forgot to mint when i got to my computer can you make a remind me to mint button somewhere and i thought that was a cool idea i don't know why there's been some minting issues i think some of it is just you know mobile minting in general sometimes can be cranky i always use metamask and i'll go in and use the browser inside of metamask and that's the only way it works anytime i do it otherwise it really doesn't work too well i know dawn wallet is a really good one for mobile minting but i'm just a little bit set in my metamask ways so but i thought that was a a really good idea the remind me to mint would not be a bad idea at all because i've had times like that too where i'm like oh i wanna mint that and then i just forget so because i just can't it all

yeah that's actually that's a really good idea or saved yeah saved to list

something like that yeah list it's wish list anything like that that's actually a great idea and chris just dropped the cocreated.xyz/chris

in the or app.cocreated.xyz

in the chat so check that out if you want to go be added to this amazing barcaster fall piece so all these all these fun things happening jack has one as well he has a mint that's out jack from icebreaker his contribution to farcaster fall wanted to capture that cold warm feeling of being outside in the sun on the perfect fall day and also the dreamy nostalgia the season brings and i thought it's actually really a beautiful piece just very simple like video of loop of this leaf just kind of moving in the breeze so really really pretty anything else you've seen from farcaster fall that i might have missed i think everything's no

and just beautiful yeah really beautiful so we have a lot of other fun things happening have you seen prints.cool yet from alex grover he just launched a private beta fun with new way to create and trade nfts on your phone and he was giving away $5 in base eath i don't know if this is already over to the first twenty people who sign up and then direct cast him your prints dot cool address and it's kind of interesting i jumped on last night it's it's very so it's it gives you a friend tech vibe but only from the tech side of it i mean so meaning that what you're it's very similar in that way where it's got the built in wallet it's using privy and you're essentially like the there's an automated mechanism for the pricing of your prints so you can upload a photo and it can be bought and sold by other people on there so i played around with it a little bit i bought a few things and also put one up there just for fun of course it's a based mango it's a little little man ish flamingo so it it's to me really you know i'm interested to see it play out and how it can you know how a friend tech but visual would work so yeah so i don't know if you've had a chance to look at that yet

it's been available for till 18 hours this is so embarrassing how dare you not already be on the you're so late

late i can't believe you missed fire you from the new show you don't get paid for

this is things you can't be fired from a new show that you during

there's absolutely no way we can we can follow everything absolutely no way but this one's really fun and i definitely would recommend reaching out to alex if you do log in and see because he was still giving away like you know and $5 of base eth goes a long way so it does like allow you to you know play around and and and buy a few things and get to know the app a little bit and see if you like it but yeah just another fun another fun launch on farcaster that you missed how dare you it's almost as if you were out and about in la and actually that's my next cast is that little farcaster meetup that happened yesterday and with ted and you and a few other folks and i did see that in 30 seconds oops adrienne i'm sorry who spilled was it ted or you

just wasn't her fault it wasn't her fault so how was the how was the meetup and by the way this is my i got the new mug today how was the meetup

oh fun

it's always amazing like those those in person meetups there's nothing like them there's nothing like them it just like it solidifies everything that you already think usually about the folks that you're meeting it just kinda

so fun

mhmm because twitter doesn't really have channels but you have ways of creating things like cryptotwitter right where you can curate your feed so that you're only seeing one particular thing and that's to me like what we did what farcaster did was basically take crypto twitter and move it over here and it just was like so it kinda was it had you know but it's not the same it's definitely not the same farcaster is a totally different vibe builder vibe into me you know it's very different because it's so for seniors for you like to me from what i understand and this has been a lot of my understanding of it because i had never heard of the concept until the lightning talk so my understanding is really also that you're contributing to something bigger it's growing itself like but also you might be inspired from something within there and then you go and build something else that maybe that inspires somebody else and that to me is what i don't see in crypto twitter or twitter in general but i do see in farcaster a lot

a except for adrian who's taken a whole like 18 hours to even find out about prints.cool i mean

but the so yeah so that's and i do see that happen a lot right where people launch something new and it's there's a quick quick adoption adoption and sometimes a quick adoption and then build on that and even with memes within farcaster oh speaking of like the memes get built on top of speaking of mole

well it also gives you validity right when there's somebody else doing something in the same realm and competing with you it gives you a little bit more validity of what you're doing as well like oh okay i am maybe onto something here so that's yeah definitely

also i think for something like that like that's a great example of well now you have to also then support your argument as to why it should be so it makes you a little smarter in that part of it right where you have to if you feel strongly in another direction then you have to show why prove why you know give some evidence that kind of stuff and i think that's helpful for solidifying like your own values and beliefs and and what have you so yeah very fun $10 a base eth is the new $5 a base eth that's funny it really is like you know really is that is funny so along those lines of people experimenting and getting pushed back a little bit will danger will robinson will robinson what are you doing so he recently i'm gonna just read this i have recently created a script to follow everyone with over 100 followers if you don't follow me back in 5 days don't worry i will unfollow you i'm coming for the 10 to 100 followers people next week please let me know if this is a terrible idea and then this went on and this has been an ongoing experiment for a few days and essentially it's an experiment in growth hacking and growing the idea of growing quickly your followers etcetera by using various bots and this has gotten a lot of

engagement a lot of activity around it what are your thoughts on the because i saw you comment like pretty early on so what were your thoughts on on this experiment by by will

i know we've made

yeah

yeah definitely because we we know that it's probably happening in other ways too with people who are being transparent or doing something similar maybe not exactly the same and i did appreciate yeah there was some there was some funny things in here like about he was talking about maybe the the folks that don't like him should get together and coordinate better or something like that it was it was really funny oh alright here here's what it was the people being mean to me on a broadcast are really having a hard time coordinating and communicating with each other maybe they need a channel to coordinate i think there's there's always a lot of pushback on you know anything that changes your environment you know what i mean so and i think in general there was a lot of concern about permissionlessness changing the environment and this is sort of part of that part of that moment and it's interesting he has 6 storage units which i thought that was interesting he bought like extra storage units to be able to do this experiment so

it's a lot of will it's a lot of will at the moment

we're back

we're back we're back we're back we're back

we'll cast our fall in our spice lattes yeah so moving on from there i do wanna mention that purple has their retroactive funding round 4 up now i think there's 9 or 10 days left to submit i think this was yesterday there was 10 days so i think there's 9 days left to submit you can go to prop house and find the purple prop house and submit your prop and we gm farcaster is actually going to submit into this round we have our prop that we're working on and gonna submit it sometime in the next couple of days but i'm excited to see the other props as well because we won't be voting on ourselves so gotta look at some of the other ones and see who we can vote for so that's exciting and it's 5 awards of 1 eth each so if you've been working on something for farcaster this is your moment to try and get some funding for that activity and that work and that amazingness so get in there

when in doubt submit one last thing i wanted to mention and and we both said we don't fully understand what's going on here but you are not farcaster 1337 someone created this game it's kinda fun you can play it so that you're trying to stop on the number 1337 and if you do you win something i don't think anyone has hit it yet i don't think i try i've tried a couple times i minted my my you are not you are not farcaster 1337 so i did mint that but i had think that it's still going so something something fun to try if if you're so inclined did you try that yet the 1337 thing i didn't get to that yet wow you are slacking this week usually you're on all these all these things just kidding i still don't fully understand it but i'm still here for all the

i'm here for all the experiments and lastly it would not be a day without a mole meme this week so i did really love this one because it's kind of taken off its own its own light it's the you know it's the pawn pawn brokers kind of meme where they're yelling at each other but it's all about the mole in an alternate universe where cool heads didn't prevail but what's funny about that to me is that you know you're talking about the mole except they're not talking about the mole and the mole is not pictured in the meme and i think that is where you know we've gone over it's gone into its own little realm and

i was just saying that it is now

now in the world of kiwi yes it has moved we now have kiwi and mole instead at park on next year instead of little kiwis as the centerpieces on all the table there'll be mole and there we are and that is 21 minutes of forecaster news for you just wanna check our chats and see what i missed old nineties internet talk for elite aka hacker 1337

oh i wanted to say hello to monkeydlinks who is now a member of builderdao so just picked up a token yesterday so welcome and to let everyone yes apply this is my first live oh ted's here ted ted made it the anti danger will robinson channel that would be kind of funny actually i mean maybe

or oh it might be laggy i don't know we might be a little laggy it's always a little laggy behind it could be super laggy but it's possible sometimes it's been laggy so hopefully you enjoyed our stream today ted we did talk about you i don't know if you caught that part but i did mention your meetup and i hope you guys had fun i'm sad that i have yet to meet most of you but hopefully in miami at art basel there'll be some folks so and with that that's it happy friday

friday everybody and we will see you monday regular time i believe we'll be back at and we'll be back in the morning

and it has been fun

it's been fun that i'm really excited that you got to meet up with so many people and got to go to the farcaster hq and all those fun things so that's really cool and we will see you all on monday gm farcaster bye bye
