0:49Speaker 1

1:02Speaker 0

catch up day here we go it's time to catch up on all things so let's start off with farcaster fall and i'm gonna start with day 5 which was yesterday i believe and adrianne published a wonderfully cozy paragraph essay on fc on farcaster seniors grab a mug of your favorite drink just like we do here imbibe the vibes and collect and it is a banger let me tell you i was go read this like i'm not just being like you know because it because it because i love you and you're my friend this is a really amazing essay so i love that you talked about having the absurdity of the situation i'm a grown ass adult with a homework assignment which i thought that was hilarious but there's also a lot of incredibly useful information in here for those who you know might be looking to learn more about channels for example you you tag a few different channels in here throughout and kinda talk about you know what those channels embody as well as a few other you know links to different contributors who helped you with this and i just would love to you know get your thoughts on like so talk about this you know this essay and experience and it looks like did you write it on the plane on the way back

2:25Speaker 1

i i i wrote it on the plane i don't know how that happened a lax to jfk friday night plane empty row

2:33Speaker 0

oh nice

2:34Speaker 1

just by myself full like full wi fi so like i had space i had the concept in my head and i had a deadline i told cameron i'd put it out on sunday so all week long it was just hanging on me like gotta do this gotta do this it felt very much like a homework assignment in until i realized

2:54Speaker 0

so funny

2:55Speaker 1

that like this is a full this is a choice of mine no one's no one's forcing us to come to farcaster every day and share our ridiculous thoughts no one's forcing us to do a morning show yeah no one's forcing us or paying us to stream 3 days a week talking about podcast events

3:14Speaker 0

exactly

3:16Speaker 1

and i casted a few days earlier just saying asking people like what is it that makes fall special like what's your if you love fall and everybody just like shared some really wonderful things and i pulled all of that into the essay as well because fall's a funny season it's like especially in the season where

3:36Speaker 0

i am you really like you touched on so many different things and then like tied it back to far cast i thought that was really creative and i liked what you were talking about with fall being a like it it's a almost like a little bit of a grieving process or something and it's it's like you're you're starting to go into winter and talk a little bit more about that i'd love that like thought and then i gotta give you my thoughts as a floridian

3:58Speaker 1

okay yeah so i so so the essay what it is i compared farcaster to the season of fall yeah and dewofi will get you the link i don't know where yeah

4:06Speaker 0

i'm getting it right now i'm grabbing it for you right now

4:10Speaker 1

we have such a global audience today i think we're covering 3 continents right now so gm around the world

4:19Speaker 0

and i'm dropping the link right now so that everyone can take a look and see if you can read it yeah

4:25Speaker 1

yeah everyone please read it

4:26Speaker 0

but don't read it right now watch us and

4:28Speaker 1

then go read it but the i'll give you i'll give you the three things what i said is how do you when i think of fall all i think of is just beauty especially where i am in what's like the fall colors and it's brilliant reds and the leaves are changing and

4:45Speaker 1

and some of my favorite forecaster channels like i go literally just for the the looks so it's the photography the nature someone and it might have even been you talked about the was it tile tiles dot cool like and and even things like outcasters like how do you get the visual component of farcaster it's so beautiful the second part of fall that everybody loves is the harvest season so i tag that to food harvest is great we love to you know reap our harvest and eat our eat the crops but it's like you don't get that unless you're putting in the work you don't get a good crop unless

5:23Speaker 0

you're that thought i love that whole thought process

5:26Speaker 1

and tending to the garden and your farm you know not just day in day out but like for years in the planning so and

5:32Speaker 0

i loved how you connected it you said you know it's like a it's a small family farm it's not a big industrial monsanto type of farm and hopefully never heirloom

5:43Speaker 1

we're we're heirloom organic

5:45Speaker 0

yeah

5:46Speaker 1

and then the third piece is is part of the reason we we love fall so much is because we know winter's coming

5:53Speaker 0

yeah

5:53Speaker 1

and you wanna just like hold on to how beautiful coming winter is coming and how much does that sound like the pre permission list like no let's not ever open up farcaster to anyone but us and i say us early at dockers because it's so good and yet we know we need to let forecaster grow because we want it it's our

6:15Speaker 0

right

6:15Speaker 1

babe that we want it to realize its potential so you gotta get through the winter of you know airdrop farmers and spam pops

6:23Speaker 0

and we've been so stuck in this like bear market too this bear winter too so it's which may continue but at the same rate we're also getting this little bump of this little bump of spring which we'll call fall where we're having this little fun bump we have a very active chat today like i can't even keep it with you people this is one of these moments where i'm like see i knew i wanted to pull the chat out but i can't

6:47Speaker 1

make it happen let me see if

6:48Speaker 0

i could try it right now nope it won't let me i don't know why i give up we'll get that fixed in post yeah there we go but what an amazing i i really love this essay like it was it it it struck me on so many different chords so please go read it like this one to me was one of your best ones probably next to the seniors one to me and like it just encaptured like so many different things but it was funny when you were talking like you said what you know what is that like what's fall feel like when you live somewhere that doesn't have winter right we don't really have winter in florida so i grew up in massachusetts and i the reason i moved to florida is because i hated winter so much that i couldn't take it anymore and i needed to leave it was the april blizzard that did it for me the april blizzard of 2001 and when i finally was like i'm out i'm done but it's really to me it's it's a very different feeling it's like a relief fall is a relief from the summer heat from the you know so i i love fall it's one of my favorite seasons here it's also before all of our snowbirds return so some are starting to come back you start to see the car we have car carriers where people like send their cars down so you start to see the car carriers you start to see like people coming back but then it really hits in january so that's winter and it's like crazy traffic and all the things so this fall part is just beautiful it's like that calm before the snowbird storm so

8:23Speaker 1

beautiful alright so you can feel it got it it's a special season feel it

8:27Speaker 0

it's definitely a special season i totally get that whole whole thought i'll have i'll

8:33Speaker 1

say one more thing and then we can move on because i know there's lots more to talk about

8:36Speaker 0

just like looking through the chat too to make sure we don't miss anything we have a full fall here near paris now oh nice okay

8:42Speaker 1

i just always found interesting of just like where like in southern hemisphere i always think like we just anchor everything to the 4 seasons of where i live and you know it's when it's winter in the northern hemisphere we've got our friends from southern hemisphere like approaching summer

9:00Speaker 0

yeah and

9:00Speaker 1

i always found that interesting and then i also and i know chandrase is in the chat who's in mumbai i always find it interesting like india doesn't have 4 seasons so when i when i first i i used to travel to india a lot and i remember trying to learn the seasons and it's like it's typically 3 seasons there's a i wanna say and someone fact checked me but it's like summer monsoon winter summer winter and the rainy season

9:27Speaker 0

yeah so and

9:28Speaker 1

that's you know what about fall this is that's

9:30Speaker 0

kind of similar to like florida's very much we basically just have variations of summer including a hurricane season that's like sort of like the moon monsoon season and then we have you know just this like very very short winter that usually lasts about a week we usually get 1 week in january that's very very cold that's it we're done alright so we gotta you know and arjun just noticed to thank you for showing your farcaster his farcaster fall piece which is next up so we gotta move on to that real quick farcaster fall day 6 and this is arjavan for this dope monday morning manifesto fall leaves fall to signal a world's end their colorfulness feeding new life where the purples make fall the new spring so i love that you brought purple into this and it's absolutely beautiful and that is what adrian's rocking and you can go mint this i haven't minted it yet but i will right after the show you can mint this and from the link and the links will all be in the show notes as well so all of these links that we show and i did wanna mention too i am rocking something that i created using chris co created's fall arch his farcaster fall co created and you can upload your image and it will be added to the final piece but and this was the piece that i did it was a halloween piece and if you click on the images it will show up in the farcaster arch so one of i actually was playing around with this and that's how i made my background was i was playing around with trying to figure out like what i wanted to do for something a piece and i'm still tinkering but it was really fun to use chris's cocreated arch thing to to to be able to create that so that was a lot of fun i only see a

11:25Speaker 1

little i only see a little of the color but shout out dwoofy doesn't the profs arch look a little like the orchid room in team lab planets in tokyo i have like a that's fantastic throwback to a cast from 6 months ago

11:39Speaker 0

oh my god yeah it's really i love it i think it came out great i was using it was me and dolly you know working together i will say that

11:47Speaker 1

have you have you minted the farcaster fall pieces i am no not today

11:51Speaker 0

i had some trouble so i've had some trouble minting and it's i think it's been a zuora problem so i think that i'm hoping that it's fixed i was having this weird loop thing where it kept making me try to bridge but it wouldn't let me bridge so i think that may have been fixed and i'm gonna mint all the rest of them because i was i minted a couple and then i had an issue so hopefully i can get the rest of them but i will mint them all there's no question because they're all amazing and i like i still haven't minted jaxx because i was having problems and i loved that one that that leaf just kinda blowing in the wind was really

12:26Speaker 1

really good i've not minted any and i was having issues with my wallet

12:31Speaker 0

you might have had the same problem

12:33Speaker 1

and i found out it's because i have a new phone

12:36Speaker 0

oh

12:36Speaker 1

and it had to do with porting over my wallet to my new phone because it looks like it ported but it actually didn't so in the background there's something that's not happening something weird happening so shout out forecaster like ask one question about like if you're having problem with something and immediately 3 people offer 1 on 1 help

12:54Speaker 0

so yeah

12:54Speaker 1

where else do you

12:55Speaker 0

guys it it it amazing like totally amazing and it's arjun just said it looks like it works again on zuora i also had some issues okay good so it's probably fixed so i'll be able to mint right after the show alright we got a we got a boogie we're we're gonna run out of time fast okay oh i mentioned chris co created so make sure you check that out it's a lot of fun to play with add your piece we have some new things that have been popping up on farcaster so mod from david furlong@df we think it should be easier to make and distribute new experiences on farcaster mod lets anyone create mini apps that bring games on chain transactions live streams dao tools polls and other rich social experiences directly to farcaster clients that support mod i have no idea what this is yet but it sounded cool so i don't know if you even do you have any idea what this is yet

13:53Speaker 1

i saw you add this to our show of like here are the things we're gonna talk about i'm like okay i don't know what this is but at least the props can educate us so sounds a little bit like some sort of abstraction layer something like that yeah tooling the aws i think about nayanar right like all these you know there's people who can build apps directly and then there's people building for the you know to make it easier to build apps so definitely this sounds like that's in that category anyone in the chat try it out

14:22Speaker 0

and so i think we'll we'll learn more as we go few other things happening dan's 3 minute long remote lightning talk from the network state conference is posted in the network state's channel so if you missed that last week highly highly recommend that you go take a look at that part the whole network state was interesting there was a lot of different things that were you know fascinating like certain talks that i really resonated with there was a couple at the end that were really really interesting and i learned a lot from but i thought dan did a fantastic job sort of sharing what farcaster is and and it's really a a really good segment so give that a look did you have any thoughts about about that or about anything else from the network state conference from last week that we didn't chat about

15:13Speaker 1

dance talk was great just because it's a snack yeah and it's it's just it's a snack if you're active on farcaster maybe it's nothing new you're gonna hear

15:21Speaker 0

like things that are bite sized

15:23Speaker 1

we like this size it's just the foundations again of what is farcaster and why are we here so mhmm worth a listen i watched grin's recorded talk i saw a few other recorded talks was great mhmm so it was it's it's great that we can get the content without having to fly downstream

15:40Speaker 0

without having to fly downstream yes because i don't have time for that i thought this was funny mk asked off off the grid channel first of all that's ironic but off the grid channel and dan immediately said done and ted said wow what's the trick to getting your channel suggestion added in 15 minutes or less if your fid is under 200 you get this level of customer service i just found that amusing apparently i i'm like number 4,000 something so this is why you know my channel suggestions don't get made i'm just kidding so for those of you in the chat who have you know fids under 200 there you go

16:22Speaker 1

to be a troll though right there's not a knot there's it was a joke okay

16:27Speaker 0

it was a joke it was a joke dan i somebody just said dan is a troll to move he is very much so in the best possible way i did like woj is that how we say it i assume we say woj the most bullish chart in crypto right now and i thought this was fantastic this is the farcaster daily active users and the trailing averages and it's looking good going in the right direction so pretty pretty nice chart right there and then oops there we go oh you and i both sort of jumped on this particular cast and it was from hallow in the creator's channel what are you creating and they said i'll start i'm creating a farcaster app since a week ago and then everyone started started dropping in things that they were creating so that was why i thought this was fantastic little cast because if you go through the replies you get to see a lot of what people are creating what they're building and if you are building something go drop it in that chat because yeah it was pretty cool to to see i learned saw some new things that i hadn't seen before that people were building and i thought it was pretty amazing yeah i know you you commented on there you dropped your essay there which was fantastic perfect place for it so that was great there was something also similar in founders where somebody was similar not the same but i'm looking for 3 or 4 crypto founders that would like to do a weekly mastermind so if you are interested please oops i think i just jumped to food by accident please jump in here and chat with and brag and let him know that you're interested because this may might turn into something a little bigger and somebody had a question like what's a mastermind and a mastermind is a group of peers that meets to give each other advice and support which is pretty much farcaster in general this would be a little bit smaller group for such a thing

18:39Speaker 1

sounds exciting sounds like you're creating a scene

18:41Speaker 0

sounds like a tiny scene yes it's a little bitty scene yes i do think that you know on that point like you don't see posts like this on twitter and i think that's the the specialness of farcaster really is that the founders channel to me has been an incredible unlock for really bringing people together to kinda tackle those founder issues and for me it's like i i just love like hanging out in there as an entrepreneurship professor and like checking it out i like how it seems that kahlo is take is taken to fc more and more yeah he's a big crypto art twitter most important cast of this week hold on i gotta go check this out i haven't passed

19:26Speaker 0

so in our chat thank you was i you know i i tagged that too i there was ivy saying that farcaster it was a link it was a cast from nicole farcaster needs more tumblr girl energy and i thought that was hilarious but ivy said she is doing her best so we appreciate you ivy for bringing the tumblr girl energy to farcaster cry oh i thought that was funny okay couple more things and big thing before we go i have to show is the outcasters for this week so we have the 30 most active users including replies and of course we see some friends in there arjan up at the top 4 holy crap ivy's in there few other people that are in our chat are on here i'm hanging on but for dear life at number 28 adrian where are you on here you have to be here somewhere but i'm not i don't know where you are and then of course danger robinson enters the top active users i appreciated the suggested follows by the way thank you very much to ghostlings and here is outcasters for the week the snapshot 17 and pretty amazing i really love the images and like you can see some of the farcaster fall mints that are coming up so it's very farcaster fall heavy and it is stunning like the outcasters this week is really stunning so go take a look at that the link will be in the show notes and you can find it on ghostlink's
