i i was a little offline yesterday dealing with some other things so i did i missed that one i don't even think we have the cast for that so you need to pull that anyway i forgot what i was saying so oh yesterday you had a fireside chat with with chris corella and cameron from darien associates which is all about crypto taxes so how did that go

yeah he's same too

it's all good

so if you go to yeah if you're at our youtube channel just go to live and you'll see it there or you can click from here and then also yesterday was the hub so that is out as well so you can go check that out you can find that on the live but you can also find the recordings so take a look there was really interesting

i i popped in about halfway through i think and or no i missed it but i watched the recording i think you had just ended and so the hub was really interesting yesterday too diving into a lot of the more technical side okay and what's the hoop photo i miss what the hoop photo is now you gotta tell

and this is a hoop photo

there you go took me a second i found it

it is it's really cool it's very cool alright so there you go go go past your hoop shots shoot your shot

did you disable your facebook account

that could

don't think i've ever heard of anyone who couldn't create a facebook account so that's interesting yeah

permissionless

yep absolutely or you could just use another client i could

yeah you can't but you can't you cannot do that with facebook because they are quite centralized and we are decentralized and there's the difference folks there's the difference

rant over news of

hey if you're watching on twitter right now give us a little retweet we'd appreciate that and if you're watching on youtube say a little gm in the comments and make sure we know who you are on farcaster so that we can shout you out later and not have to guess

dog account i have the dog account so she can get on

i know

it's so sad but also the dog can get an account and you can't

this from

it wasn't a crypto dog

yeah

so funny this from estes this is from emma gn first batch of capsule 1 orders shipping tomorrow and this is the what i got in the mail so very exciting so the capsule collection for farcon new york is what was shipping out they did a small a small drop of a few items and i believe there's gonna be at least one more collection and these funds are going towards i believe the hackathon so amazing and i love my hats this from also from emma farcon is coming to williamsburg so there you go ticket apps open soon so we've had a couple convos with with emma and i am so excited so i think next week we'll be able to talk more about it but i'm very excited you guys are gonna be very excited too so if you yeah especially if you're if you're in our if you're have one of our hyper subs the next couple months we're gonna have a lot of things happening so just just and if you're not one of our hypersubs you might wanna you know think about it because there's gonna especially if you're gonna be at ethdenver or far con you're definitely gonna wanna pick that up so yeah and or or you know for those really incredible airdrops we do like oy oy oy have you seen the chart

look at the chart before you buy anything but adrian launched a clinker on air just for fun just in the moment because we were having a convo so yeah but it but it was air dropped there was like i mailed air dropped a 1,000,000 to each of our wow wow holders and 500 k to each of our our mole so if you have you did get a little air drop the other day not that it's worth much or anything but you did get it this was so fun to see so the other day we showed you jesse's attempt to onboard people by walking around saying hey do you want to get on chain and people saying oh my god people are gonna think he's trying to chain people up so there was a lot of pushback oh it's cringe this and that kenny said jesse said if you can do better i will give you a 100 usdc and afro chicks was said challenge accepted and she killed it so i'm not gonna show the hold on let me see if i can get the i might have to redo this to get the sound but you'll i'll just you know what i'm just gonna show you like really quick like the just the without the sound you can go take a look at this but what she was doing was just saying here's 10 basically $10 10 whatever it is quid 10 quid or mystery gift and she was giving 50 if you took the mystery gift so on usdc on base so she did get some people onboarded unlike jesse who was i think i won no offense jesse you did we appreciate all your cringeness i love it i didn't think it was cringe at all but this was amazing and it just shows you like avertex just knows how to do things like well like this like create content get out there talk to people she's just got a very friendly vibe so it was a great way to do this like she's walking around with the money in her hand like you can have this or i have a mystery gift for you but so it it got people's attention as opposed to do you have a minute do you have a minute do you have like where people are like no i don't have a minute

end up dead people

yeah

and she just did she did a great job so he and he had said i have a 100 usdc for anyone who can do better but also she got a base grant of 1 eth so it didn't pay

but she got out there and put the effort out there and showed like oh and if you do a great effort yeah you're gonna be rewarded as he says all the time so he kinda gave it to he threw it out there almost like okay even if you do a crappy effort you might you might get a little something you do a good you do it really well you're gonna get a little something more and i think it's it's really amazing and i loved her note to self here don't overthink it just create the content thank you jesse pollock and bass perfect perfect note amazing

do don't ever think it don't think at all do the shitty version there you go but that's the

7 oh it's 208 shitty versions 11 shitty version at a time getting better every day this from kallo so the big thing happening sort of everywhere yesterday the past 2 days was this vvv drop which relates to venice ai so if you've been hearing about venice ai and vvv and you're like i don't know what the heck is going on kalo has you new deep dive is out this time i reviewed venisai the crypto chat gpt what is venisai how does it work and what makes it special the vvvv token at airdrop how to invest in stake vvvv the foundation team and day 1 selling claims venis dotai potential in the eugenic economy like retweet your so pride if you find it useful your support means a lot so if you're wondering what the heck is going on there it is there's the whole thing but really shortly the two two key points that talks about the founding team and day 1 selling there was a lot of you know dust up around that some of the team that was their compensation like they deferred comp some of the compensation in order to get paid via the token so there's going to be some selling also everybody else who got it for free so so sit your butts down you did nothing to get this

absolutely so i'll tell you i'd so the other big news coming from this is that the farcaster community got the airdrop for holding degen for holding higher for holding all these different farcaster native tokens clankr so that was really cool so and then there and then a lot of other things qualified you as well but that was like wow i didn't expect that so you know i claimed my airdrop and i sold about half of it and then the rest of it i stayed within that platform you do you like i can't you know i don't tell anybody what to do with their own money that's what i did that to me is the thing that makes the most sense because of exactly what you said about taxes but also we know value can it can do a lot of different things so yeah you need to take a little bit of profit but also i didn't want to you know i want to see what happens and i want to be able to you know play with this platform and things like that so stake the rest there's a little staking it looked it was very simple to do which is great because sometimes those things are not simple this was very simple click click and it's staked and you can claim your your rewards get dropped to you from the staking so easy peasy so that was an easy one so adrienne you know what my question is

did you did you claim your airdrop

oh wow i totally did not think you're gonna

i didn't do it right away i gave it a yeah i gave

i had neither i hadn't heard of it

maybe yeah

i did do one little creation there using venice ai's sort of dall e version and it was okay not bad i was you know i do all our little you know all this stuff all our little purple cups come from dall e and it's not as easy as you think like it does take a lot of prompting to get it where you want it so for any one image i probably prompt like 20 times or something to get it where i want it to be so this was just a really quick one just to see what it gave me and it was interesting it wasn't as and i'm using the basic version i didn't explore the pro or anything like that so that might make a big difference but it feel it felt like a little just not as robust

but again the pro version may be different so i don't wanna speak to that because i haven't tried that yet so for at least and i images and i didn't i didn't play around with it very much so it was very like just a very quick because i wanted to just have a better idea of you know what it

so

yeah

i know it was like total magic i know we're living in the age of magic

yeah

that happens with so much ai image creation like i remember i was

to do i was trying to create try try anything with a redhead they're always kept always very sexualized always

so it was pretty

i'm telling you triggered i i like i was trying to do an image i know what it was for it was for gm farcaster explains and i still haven't put it out there because i couldn't get it right because i was trying to get like our like 2 women next to a chalkboard whatever and every time i did redhead it would just be very curvy it was like every time i'm like

it was really funny so yeah many many issues this note in here from tricel also rainbow announced today if you're holding v v v v you can use the venice anonymous ai in their app in their in app browser there's a cast for it i missed that cast but go check out it's probably under rainbow or mike mike rainbow and yes katarina there was there was some discussion of that that there was some insider trading but my understanding and i and do not like i don't know the full details but my understanding was that it was the team that was paid for like the way they were being paid was through the tokens so some of the people who worked on venis dotai and that was who sold and there was some dust up of that so that's why i'm saying like if it's that then they kind of had a right to do that so you know don't get so crazy no there are not yes to crypto just us curvy ones just the curvy redheads so but again like i don't know the full deal with the with the whole like insider trading allegations i think i i really think that it was a little overblown is was the way i was reading it but i could be very wrong so not legal advice not financial advice none of that but anyway go check this out and you can learn all about it and if you're not subscribing to kallo's newsletters like you really should because they're deep dives they're really good so go check that out alright moving on we've got like a lot of things to get through so i'm gonna start flying through these because

new notification on warpcast casted for the first time in a while for people you already follow we will send you an in app notification if the first time if it's the first time they've cast after a few weeks or months away goal is to help people reengage people who are popping back into fc to check things out plan is to have several big moments in the next few months that will bring people back might even have a couple next week what does that mean dan i don't know but we'll stay stay tuned so that'll be interesting this war cast token links now support tokens on abstract i think that's exciting we're working towards oh that's why pango went down on solana i forgot they moved him some people probably switched over so we're still working on trying to get access to abstract streaming and we'll keep you posted on that this from v announcing the warpcast q four retro grant winners over 50 teams received grants for building on top of farcaster if you received a grant please reply to this cast with a github profile that is eligible to accept donations the full list is here so boy was at the top there recaster and modbot great for you all the people we can't pronounce their names pfista hauoli and then linda thank you linda holly holly holly holly bounty caster supercast for woah herocast for hell no dropframe winter dtech samuel huber paybot and swapbot robrec payflow cinever and farcastles edit and boiler and there's more so go take a look at the list but great to see and this was based on usage of the different apps so grants were awarded to app developers based on usage we made our best effort to approximate usage and also factored in duration how long has your product been live and value how important is it to is this to farcaster's success we prioritize grants to projects that have not launched a token or raised vc funding and then apologies for the delay on this it took a while to sort through all the applications and evaluate apps so great that's awesome congrats to everybody

great to see it

yeah

no it's not its fault it's not its fault it's our fault

l e h a o l e okay

yep i'm telling you the bounty caster linda one that's the only one that the app the ai is gonna know she's so funny and then for those of us who are not who are collecting a little smaller rewards rewards leaderboard results so anila ferri rockets to number 2 out of nowhere the evil twin of alina ferri also new and which apparently is not ai which i'll get to in a second also new to top 10 is toy boy doubling down on thoughtfulness the return of afro chicks to the top 10 via crypto street evangelism top 10 staples ted android 16 pugs and do what they do kekker's debut at number 7 with surprisingly few mentions of toe spacers shout out 6 who just missed number 6 oh that's sad that must be what he's shooting for every week studio proxy studio clanking back to number 6 yo just missing top 10 stefanzilla at 12 so there you go there is your latest the rewards leaderboard and this from anala ferri wow not even a shout out today i'll never forget this also how cute is it that nanush professor thinks alina ferri has skills to launch an

i don't know i thought there was i don't know i saw something about a clone i thought this was like automated somehow

it's possible

totally totally totally so sorry anala ferri that

other day but today you got the shout out and this for 6 now 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 app so there you go and this from v we're making some tweaks to the warpcast rewards algo based on your feedback first a quick recap on how scoring worked last week for each cast get points for likes recast follows only count engagement from known good users divided by s q r t active followers where active equals last 7 days so known good users was chosen carefully to prevent spam in gaming so now the changes that are coming we're making 2 changes this week known good users is being expanded from a few 1000 users to all users who classified as unlikely to be spammy about 40,000 users normalized by active followers is going to use a higher route this means there is much less of a penalty for having a large number of active followers these changes should make more people eligible for rewards this week so it'll be interesting this might change things up i think this is also to yeah it's great to have people who have low follower accounts to be able to get into that top group quickly i think that's awesome but also then it can be a little discouraging when you hit it that once and then you can't even get anywhere close again so because you get end up with a lot more followers because you end up at the top it's like this weird kind of thing that happens so we'll see how it plays out but it's good that they're iterating and seeing what's working and you know

not even a little bit occasionally only when i'm really close to when i'm at 68 i might cast less when i'm at 70 i might cast more just because for fun i'm trying to hit certain number just for the fun of it because i'm usually in that zone so but that's it no it's not really no occasional or or if i'm like i had one week where i really dropped way down and i don't remember i don't know and then i was like oh and it made me a little sad but it didn't like really change much for me i just cast bangers all the time

no matter what all all bangers all the time that's it and speaking to the keys of successful forecasting here's here's a little some notes from eric's who does tend to be up the top there often 1 talking about whatever you find interesting 2 replying to whatever you find interesting 3 trying things you find interesting 4 being nice to people that's it it's very simple

as as dan said to vitalik we don't mind if you call it a tweet just just

to this 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 and then july had recasted that there's almost no topic that i can't find something interesting about and that is unsurprising because yeah because july so i'm sure his list is very long and he shares it and that makes it and i find it interesting when he shares these very niche interesting things so it's like i always feel like i'm learning when i'm looking at july's cast

because they have a phone yeah yeah

we used to be bored

yeah they're out

i have nothing to do i know

yeah and i

yeah some people maybe

yeah haven't thought about that in a while

are interesting to you

i'm literally never bored on farcaster like never there's so much interesting there's so many interesting corners of farcaster and july is one of them so like if you are ever bored like seriously just go scan his profile because there's always something interesting there always but you know we're never really bored around here but yeah and speaking of take a spin through the replies if you're knowledgeable or passionate about any of these topics cast about them and this was a recast of dan's own if farcaster had top 1% content about 1 non crypto topic what do you wish it was and why so there's a lot of great suggestions there like ai more this from w from will more ai experts computer experts any kind of tinker maker culture i do think that more parenting and education tips i'm kind of boring though i don't think you're boring well but okay

it was a lot of really good suggestions in here so if you know any of any experts in any of these areas like try to encourage them to come on over see if they'll start casting this from v 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're interested so if we have anyone out there or if you know anyone go pass that along definitely a great job this from yes to crypto rolls up sleeves rain 25,000 qualify reply with choose phil or jake choose roast or compliment okay

what's going on here but it had to do is

got it

got it now

where were we where did they end up i'm looking

a little off little off the top 10 don't know don't know but that's funny i think that's i i do think that the leaderboard has at these moments given a little bit of a competition you know like a little that's fun i love that

me and jake i wanna win and i will but i have no problem engaging with him because i'm confident in my posting abilities his tactics are those of someone who is playing defensively on their back foot this will only make victory much sweeter that's hilarious alright and then yeah

know who yeah and do you know who to know

i love it what were you gonna say sorry i missed that no

oh yeah i don't

i don't know i've i didn't i i've been trying to set my timer and i forgot to hit right at like right before the leaderboard goes away so i can at least see what happened and i forgot yesterday this from yacik gmd jen's spam bans part 2 and i'm gonna we we can skip part 1 we're now using warpcast spam labels instead of

custom solution big thanks to peachy for posting about it and sorry for banning you by accident if you were mislabeled follow the tips in her guide to reduce the chance of being flagged as spam so something so so jacek was trying some new spam labeling so that to make for better quality tip mechanics and it ended up sort of rounding up people who shouldn't have been in that tag and pg was one of them so they made some adjustments but bottom line if you are on the spam label thing and you think you should not be go take a look at this and you'll you'll be able to adjust or just tag jacek and let him know so yeah back to the power badge issues again this from toady hawk we're not winning unless we're winning together that was the main takeaway when jack wilds and i sat down with clankers in chief proxy studio and dish for this week's episode of 0 pod by 0 rights media this is a must watch that is a must token pun conversation in 2 parts that covers the entire history of clanker in just over 90 minutes watch and collect this on chain episode now on base via pods frame link right below the video clip so you can also watch the whole thing i think right in this frame if i am correct here yes you can so go take a look at this i haven't had a chance to watch it but it's on my list for today to try and catch up on this but we had a great time we've talked with both proxy and dish and this is mostly just for todie this part's just for todie we talked to them first just letting you know but not together

but also yes we're not winning unless we're winning together todie i'm just kidding this is just you know todie and i have a lovely brother sister relationship

just a smidgeling smidge sibling rivalry it's no big deal this from matthew fox but oh go ahead sorry

lesson there lesson there go watch them this from matthew fox so clankerman if you've been playing was having some some issues so they were doing some fixes and so the they did a migration so migration is live for existing users you will go through a migration flow to update your account we expect a few issues to pop up during this flow depending on your setup so if you run into any hit contact support to flag the issue and we will resolve via dm asap some common issues are below so one of the issues was when you were trying to log back in it would say that your wallet that's connected was not the right wallet even though it was so there's some fixes and workarounds for that so just look in this thread and you can go migrate your clangerman and i was so i've been playing and i have a few little mons that's what they're called that you have to keep alive and i was really nervous that i was gonna lose my mons now also keep in mind there's actual crypto in there as well that i've done some trading because you earn different you know xp and things like that i was more concerned that i'm my mons might be dead

and i'm like oh that's funny that's really funny that i'm more concerned so so matt bottom line matthew fox well done you've got me hooked i'm keeping my i'm keeping my moms alive

so mission accomplished this from corel or kp3556 doteth hey friends i've been hard at work putting together something special and i'm excited to finally share it with you annual reflections 2024 second edition is here grab your copy there's a link each copy comes with a signed 8 8 8 and a half by 11 print just for you currently shipping in the us but happy to figure out international options so very cool i just loved this image it was amazing so go check that out really neat amazing artists and this from jc sparks i wrote something new about a project i'm really excited about between farcade cast out clankermont farville bracket and all the other games we're lucky to have i know there are some seriously competitive people on the burble app well that's an understatement and i have something special just for you today the team from rec tech has handed me some og rolls and a handful of free mint passes to give away on farcaster i love rec techs games because they don't take a ton of time they're easy to learn and everyone's on equal footing if you have if you have what it takes to compete in rec techs minigames and tourneys and want to win a pass check out my new post in fact i'll give away the 1st og roles now hop in the discord and tell them spark sent you screenshot proof in the replies and i'll pick a couple winners later today so there you go you can read all about it here i haven't had a chance to explore it yet but i like games so good chance i'll probably like it this is really funny this is just a funny links retort i so we have been having a problem with noun stop build yesterday which is what i was the past 2 days dealing with and it finally came back online so i casted all set all daos should be working properly now and links co casted status report or wishful thinking and i thought now that's clever

no no not at all okay just in general just in general just the world in general yeah i've never thought about

before so yeah but and that's it anything else adrian that i might have missed there's a lot of things we got a little chatty there for a while

i do too i haven't i feel like i've had i've had some other things that have been distracting me so i haven't had there's been things i'm like i'll see a notification pop up and i'm like oh what's that oh i wanna go look and i'm too busy engagement farming is easier with good fertilizer and rain i love that that was the the degen raindrop thing yes but also it also reminded me of the other game that i've been playing which is farville and i need to go check on my crops so this is i'm a farmer now i'm a farmer now i'm checking crops making sure my my my mons are are fed and yeah and then go in and play a little farcade this is this is my new routine

i have been ignoring all of my words games and i because they stress me out so i will get back to that oh no and i haven't yoed i have not yoed because my yoing is getting a bit much i have a lot of people i've been yoeing and now it's like a lot so i will get back to that sometime today but i haven't gotten back
