There is almost no topic that I can’t find something interesting about

Now that there’s no more money to be made holding cryptocurrencies, our last chance at pre-AGI wealth is farming USDC by posting bangers on the lavender application

“What do I find interesting?” My hunch is a lot of people in general (maybe more so outside of farcaster than here) can’t answer this question. If you can answer it, consider yourself a lucky one. If your list is long, you’re especially lucky.

Looking for a talented distributed systems engineer to help scale Farcaster. You'll join a team of staff-level engineers working on one of the most used consumer crypto apps. Can promise talented coworkers, hard problems and top-tier comp. DM me if you are interested.

the keys to successful farcasting: 1. talking about whatever u find interesting 2. replying to whatever u find interesting 3. trying things u find interesting 4. being nice to ppl that’s it

Only count engagement from known good users 3. Divide by sqrt(active followers) where (active = last 7 days)

Wrote something new about a project I'm really excited about. Between Farcade, Castout, Clankermon, Farville, Bracket and all the other games we’re lucky to have, I know there are some seriously competitive people on the purple app. And I have something special just for you today. The team from RekTech has handed me some OG roles and a handful of Free Mint Passes to give away on Farcaster. I love RekTech’s games because they don’t take a ton of time, they’re easy to learn, and everyone’s on equal footing. If you think you have what it takes to compete in RekTech’s mini-games and tourneys and wanna win a pass, check out my new post. In fact, I’ll give away the first OG roles now. Hop in the discord and tell ‘em Sparkz sent you. Screenshot proof in the replies and I’ll pick a couple winners later today. https://paragraph.xyz/@futureproof/rektech-a-new-breed-of-crypto-gaming

** Rewards Leaderboard Results ** * @anilaferry rockets to #2 out of nowhere... alinaferry evil twin? * Also new to Top 10 is @toyboy.eth doubling down on thoughtfulness * The return of @afrochicks to Top 10 via crypto street evangelism * Top 10 staples @ted @androidsixteen.eth @pugson do what they do * @keccers.eth debut at #7 w/ surprisingly few mentions of spacers * s/o @six who just missed #6 & @proxystudio.eth clankin' back to #6 * Yo! just missing top 10 @stephancill at #12

Take a spin through the replies. If you’re knowledgeable or passionate about any these topics, cast about them!

“We’re not winning, unless we’re winning together.” That was the main takeaway when @jackwyldes.eth and I sat down with clankers-in-chief @proxystudio.eth and @dish for this week’s episode of ZEROPOD by @zerorightsmedia. This was a MUST-watch conversation in two parts that covers the entire history of @clanker in just over 90 minutes. Watch and collect this onchain episode now on @base.base.eth via @pods (frame link right below the video clip) https://pods.media/zeropod/the-clankpod-with-clanker-founders-proxy-and-dish-zeropod-s2-e8?referrer=0xBaA0ee89bf12753d6317E353cb4fB1DC94230341
