4:46Speaker 1

little now either one we're good with either one but there you go

4:50Speaker 0

and speaking of little nouns i really should just grab i should have put this one second we have a new little nouner did you see that adrienne

5:03Speaker 1

welcome alina

5:04Speaker 0

alina yeah so alina had already been friends with lil pizza who is a little nouner and he sent her this cat we had been talking on the timeline about which one she should get and we were going to do it at eath denver but they jumped the gun so welcome alina ferry that was pretty fun

5:24Speaker 1

she can get a second

5:26Speaker 0

she can get a second one

5:27Speaker 1

sure yeah sure

5:28Speaker 0

we can help her find one i had a couple that i picked out for her that i thought were very her so we'll see

5:33Speaker 1

remember warpcast made it so you can't see our display names anymore

5:38Speaker 0

yes and it's very distressing

5:39Speaker 1

yes especially to sparks i just realized like i would love to change my name to lil ketchup aw for the time being you know like that'd be fun but i'm not changing so i can't i mean but you won't see

5:52Speaker 0

it because you won't see it

5:53Speaker 1

mhmm yeah

5:55Speaker 0

yeah but yeah so lil pizza he's a little pizza dog doggles too he has the whole nuggle nuggle nests very cool so our big news is warpcast wallet rolling out to the top 1,000 people in the leaderboard today so everyone got their wallets yesterday or a lot of people not everybody but a lot of folks got wallets a lot of active folks so picking the 1,000 from warpedcast rewards leaderboard got the wallet so how the wallet works under the hood the plan is to upgrade the eoa to 7,702 and possibly four three three seven afterwards but still a few months away a lot can change so right now this is in response to how is the private key where is the private key for warpedcast wallet scored so this is the information on that private key is a shamir sharded on your device i love it when i get to say the technical stuff this is gonna work out great on your device into three shards any two of which it can reconstruct the private key one shard remains on the device one shard is encrypted by a key that warpcast holds for recovery recovery shard one shard is encrypted by a key that privy holds auth shard all encryption also happens on your client effectively the recovery and auth shards are both accessible by your custody address but via authing with two separate service providers it take two separate breaches of warcraft and privy to compromise key material the reasons for doing this instead of a simple eoa are users won't lose access to their funds because it inherits the farcaster recovery system since two thirds can be accessed via sign in with farcaster all without needing the user to back up anything else themselves and then two users can seamlessly access their wallet on any device i e web without needing to manually move a seed phrase around in a reasonably secure way so that's great what do you think about this like do you feel like it's like any issues with that or i don't know

8:15Speaker 1

in terms of like what's going on under the hood or how i feel about the wallet because like can we talk about how we how much we love the wallet

8:21Speaker 0

yeah we can talk about just the wallet in general so what do you

8:24Speaker 1

think about

8:25Speaker 0

the wallet

8:26Speaker 1

wallets i'm obsessed with

8:28Speaker 0

you're upset why are you obsessed with it love it what makes you what what do you love about it like what

8:32Speaker 1

is it that needed i really just needed another wallet said no one

8:38Speaker 0

said no one at all

8:40Speaker 1

okay said no one

8:42Speaker 0

nobody said no yeah

8:43Speaker 1

okay so little hot take everyone's spinning up these eoas you've got a wallet for every app like you start to get like except i live in forecaster it's where i live like it's

8:56Speaker 0

it's home

8:57Speaker 1

it's home so it feels very natural to have a wallet it looks beautiful it came up easy like it's just to have an integrated wallet the minting sending transacting like not having to leave orpcast to do any wallet y stuff it just yeah it feels it feels right good job guys

9:23Speaker 0

i really liked when we were able to mint with warps for that same reason because it was very easy it was one click and then and then it would actually put it into my other wallet my connected wallet which i liked that that was good it was a very seamless process this i like as well there was something very satisfying about it and i don't know what i don't know why and android 16 said something similar and i'll pull that up in a bit but having my rewards just show up there and like seeing all my activity i like the flow of it i like it as well and it i wasn't positive i was i was going to one thing i don't like is i can't see my nfts i'm sure that will come but for now you can't view it

10:09Speaker 1

oh it i was like in another wallet no even in that wallet yeah it's very it's a it feels very it right it doesn't actually and to kbc's point yeah she already has an on chain identity doesn't need another one yet i mean that was the argument against this wallet explosion like you've got your assets split everywhere

10:28Speaker 1

i totally agree in terms of like the quick access i think just for kind of like sharing sending value around the network i did a bounty yesterday i paid someone in you know like all in app

10:43Speaker 1

what i liked about it actually like was when my work cast rewards show up like

10:48Speaker 0

yeah

10:49Speaker 1

by the way it showed up in my other wallets too so i don't know why this feels different

10:53Speaker 0

i didn't see it though i didn't really go and look for it there in my other wallets

10:58Speaker 1

so i have a new notifications on

11:01Speaker 0

so i didn't like i wasn't paying attention to that and this was very right there i

11:07Speaker 1

pushed notifications both on coinbase wallet and rainbow wallet so like when i got it it like a double it's like hey you got your $10 from warpedcast it made me feel good okay that's funny but it's also kinda cool to be like oh now the money i have in this wallet is kind of proof of work of like yeah proof of what's happening in the far economy which is kinda cool like i don't know i don't know but everyone who knew that the warp house wallet like that and woj was early on this because he built a wallet directly into super

11:38Speaker 0

yep

11:39Speaker 1

so everyone who knew that social was going to have a wallet was onto something because yeah i get that and then

11:45Speaker 0

you see well and you see that what coinbase is doing so for those who missed that on i don't know if it was was it month no last week when we were talking to dan coinbase is incorporating the farcaster feed into the wallet so like they're redoing their whole wallet and part of that is adding the social feed to it so yeah obviously these two things go together same thing with interface if you look at interface and similar apps that are showing you this is what my friends are trading friends is another one if you're that's still in beta or alpha i'm not sure which but it's a way that you can see what your friends are doing and so like yes the social economy thing is happening it's a real

12:29Speaker 1

no i guess to the point of like now things are split so inter like yeah they automatically change your connect your pref preferred address so if you're in one of the thousand you got a new wordpress wallet that's now your farcaster wallet so now you know if you're trying to get like the the airdrops or the proof of token gated proof of i want access to x y z i wonder if there's i don't wanna have to move all my other assets to this wallet for proof this so i think we need some way to kind of connect some some things that needs to be figured out

13:04Speaker 0

yeah for sure and i i did have to switch my wallet a couple times for different things the preferred wallet so the setting does make that easy and i it is the thing that would have saved me to your point gregarious if i had had a preferred wallet back when i was getting airdrops from dgen and moxie i would have been able to set that to the correct one so that is really helpful so you can choose which wallet you want things primarily going to

13:36Speaker 1

so yeah and and clearly i'm happy like you can see i i'm but like obviously there's still a long long road to go to iron out like i i tried paying someone yesterday it didn't go through like there's not everything is working flawlessly yeah and there's still some issues and

13:56Speaker 0

definitely definitely but there's a lot of excitement and yeah i'm liking it so far few more casts about this we have this from dan from dwr why wallet better ux in an app you use every day make on chain actions reliable and smooth directly from the feed frames and token links no app switching or deep link bugs that's the other thing we had a lot of like anytime i would try to mint things or do things there was often some friction on mobile so this does help with that automatic onboarding new users don't need to download a separate app and we already had this is a bit that's a little confusing there was already a wallet sort of hanging in the background but you would have to export it in order to really get access to it it was a little tricky so this is much easier it's already there when you sign up if you get a reward a degen tip or an airdrop in your first week it just works well not the degen tip i i don't think he quite understands that part but that's okay if you actually send somebody degen it will be there yes but not the tip part that's works differently singapore of crypto today farcaster is much smaller than web two social networks however if the 1% of active users with funded wallets is really high we have a near term opportunity to be a small population but high gdp country interesting developers can permissionlessly launch a frame have it appear on farcaster clients and have integrated wallets get your first ten thousand transactions by launching on farcaster yes you can launch on other networks but their algos hate links and drop off from seeing something in a feed to website to wallet is going to be high so that's a great point as well this last point about yeah you know if you have the wallet right there it's it's more likely that people are gonna take action you know if it's very smooth seamless they don't have to think about it they're more likely to take that action

16:00Speaker 1

yeah so and we've seen this yep and we know over and over again yeah

16:04Speaker 0

we know this to be true so yeah i do see a lot of these benefits playing out and we already know from the snickerdoodle report of farcaster that there was 18 something seven maybe billion locked in wallets that were connected on farcaster already so this is kind of to that point about the singapore crypto i think that's really interesting framing

16:30Speaker 1

i love i love to see dan put on his marketing hat and really work on the messaging

16:35Speaker 0

yeah

16:35Speaker 1

it's a nice i like the arc i feel like he's taking a page out of balaji's playbook balaji is like excellent as coming up with the quick the the little quips that you can use and singapore or crypto works no one knows what that means immediately

16:50Speaker 0

no but if you think about it it makes sense

16:53Speaker 1

yeah

16:53Speaker 0

yeah yep it's definitely a little bit of a thinker

16:56Speaker 1

yeah yeah

16:57Speaker 0

i like it there is a warpedcast wallet ama so if you have questions you can drop them here for v we've answered some of them already do these wallets replace the previous custody wallets then i would say yes but i'm not sure

17:17Speaker 1

i would say no so it sounds like it this

17:20Speaker 0

should be in the ama hold on let me check and see if it's there

17:25Speaker 1

and actually my feeling is it's probably not yet even if it is eventually i would it's probably not yet oh why is the warped wallet different from

17:34Speaker 0

the card that

17:34Speaker 1

you cut

17:35Speaker 0

so there you go there's a new wallet how is

17:37Speaker 1

it different because it's different thanks mate because it's a different wallet

17:42Speaker 0

it's a different wallet how is it different because it is there you go so the other one does have a recovery that's built in but essentially i think this will be the one that is actually used and the other one's more of a i don't know behind the scenes backup i have no idea that's a good question it's the wallet on the protocol versus warpcast wallet oh that's probably it this is a wallet for warpcast not necessarily a wallet for all

18:12Speaker 1

of farcaster protocol yet i think maybe but why should it be any dips for it oh i because the other they spin up a wallet for account recovery one is for your account

18:24Speaker 0

but yeah it's just for

18:25Speaker 1

your account not be the same oh i i guess to your point of like if you create and like it's so dumb right now

18:33Speaker 0

yeah we don't know

18:33Speaker 1

i'm like if you create an account just from the command line you know like or from another client you don't need to go through warpcast but you still need okay

18:41Speaker 0

we need to seems like a good conversation for dylan seriously like for dylan help us out so next week on the hub tune in for an answer to why we have two wallets now and one that we don't really access and one that we do there you go a few more thoughts on wallet from dwr we're still testing it expect a bunch of rough edges but we will fix and iterate starting with a thousand people and expanding from there two goal is to make on chain actions reliable and smooth directly from the feed frames and token links three there's a bunch of new surface area to explore given all the social context but focused on getting the basics shipped and working well four important there's no private key export yet you don't have to use the wallet if you don't want to five you can continue to use rainbow rainbow or coinbase wallet via deep links via mwp there's a preferred wallet toggle in the settings six it's been a full team effort but big shout out to blockheim diodad horsevax and gabriel oueso and then everyone who has been giving feedback and this was made available they did post something last week or the week before i think it was that said hey if you're interested in testing you know shout out here and then they dropped us into a little group chat so there's been a lot of feedback that's been happening over the week before they released it to the next thousand so there was like a small group first it was like 20 and then there was a hundred and it just kept expanding so and now we're at a thousand so there you go here are the top five swap tokens from warcast wallet so far dgen usdc hyre gadoopy and moxie no surprises i can see the banker fin though shark fin though i just thought that was cute there was another issue with the halo so if you funded your wallet on mobile you will see a little purple halo is it still there or is it gone now might be gone now i don't see it anymore oh wait nope i'm on the wrong thing that's why on twitter yeah there's no halo on twitter i wonder why i was looking at the wrong app but i don't know if it's i i feel like it's no it's still there okay so you had you might have had a little purple halo and then on your profile it has this little leaf that shows that you've funded your wallet but there was a bit of a delay so this was the post mortem up modem of the delay there was a query a query cache miss to our service provider there so there you go but it has been resolved and everyone should have their little purple halo if you've funded your wallet and this was my little cast for what's in your wallet i'm curious people what were your first swaps so this is what's in your wallet curious what everyone's first swaps were first n f t etc funded with base this is mine it funded with base eth of course first swap to dgen second swap to moxie i spelled moxie wrong first mint was zeropods second mint was gm forecaster and yeah i know right i i didn't even think of it so i happened to see zeropods sitting there and i was like oh i want to mint that but yeah i should have done ours first so there you go totie you got me you got me this time so that was mine and yes you all should go use this as a test case go go mint the one with dwr from the gm farcaster episode with dwr where we talk about the wallet it's quite meta go go mint it throw it in your wallet there you go nfa

22:24Speaker 1

and then get feedback to the whole process you can use it dan's always looking for feedback for how the wallet works and experience if you're looking for a way to experiment i did this i minted this one

22:37Speaker 0

so what did you yeah what were your firsts what did you what did you do what was your process

22:42Speaker 1

i minted our episode i received some warp cast rewards

22:50Speaker 0

i did

22:50Speaker 1

as well i sent some usd to someone who completed a bounty

22:55Speaker 0

oh lovely lovely did you do any swaps yet you didn't do any swaps okay all right well let us know when you do alrighty few more things many more things but this first free invites for warpedcast users all users who are not labeled definitely who are definitely not spamming or are labeled definitely not spamming not not labeled will get three free invites to give out to their friends your friends will be able to use this invite code to sign up for free this should roll out to all users on mobile by tomorrow this is great timing for ethdenver so if you meet some folks at ethdenver and they're like what's farcaster now you can invite them for free fantastic and they'll have a wallet as soon as they jump in there this is from the other day there was a little dust

23:47Speaker 1

up if you will

23:50Speaker 0

on twitter so this is vee in response to boscolo and boscolo had said i do not understand why brantley and ek sender ek ender are picking this fight with dwr and v farcaster is one of the more successful projects to leverage ens and so there was a little bit of dust up there so there was also some confusion that came up about farcaster names so this was to clear this up so there's confusion about farcaster names so let me clear this up this is from v your username on farcaster is always an ens name if it's if you choose to one of a kind ens name is the farcaster name v.farcaster.eth shown in client as v the other kind of ens name is the l1 name dwr dot eth shown in client as dwr dot eth so in other words if you are not setting your username to an independently owned by you.eth then you still have a eth which i didn't know that part by the way so you have a sub sub name a sub name to the farcaster.eth name which is pretty cool so there you go farcaster names like at v are actually defined at the protocol level at v.farcaster..eth using a standard ens ccip read we truncate the names when shown in the app because it's a bit tedious to type v.farcaster.eth or show it in every user interface farcaster names are controlled by us they're free so it's easy to sign up but we prevent squatting so there you go by the way i did not know that did you know that

25:42Speaker 1

not at all

25:43Speaker 0

that it was farcaster.eth i had no idea so no no no no one did yeah i had no clue it's but there was like yeah so i don't so ens yeah so ens needs to just chill man we're we're we're good over here oops sorry showed that this was really funny so dwr said anyone have any recommendations on for office call booths zen booth framery something else and i loved your quote cast i won't tell you when when we make our first non engineering hire but there will be signs and i was like yeah as soon as i saw this i'm like

26:24Speaker 1

day one it was day one

26:26Speaker 0

like ted's first day

26:30Speaker 0

and she's right by the way and also when you get this booth like decorated or something because i hate it when i see somebody come on and i'm like you're in a booth and i don't like i just don't like the look and feel so either there's some green screen in there so you can do some virtual backgrounds or something make it cute but also that was really funny if you don't understand this yeah if you don't understand this this is for when people are like at a wework or something like that there'll be like a phone booth type of thing so when you're jumping out of podcast or streaming or even just taking a call no one can hear you so that's yeah so we we know it's heads up

27:17Speaker 1

these are pretty common now i think these are pretty common in all office spaces because we went from that whenever decades ago to the open floor plan

27:25Speaker 0

yes and which does not work if you're trying to do a podcast yeah yeah yeah exactly so even when dan's been on like he's usually in a room by himself and it's it's there isn't like a lot of background noise or anything but i'm sure it can get distracting so

27:42Speaker 1

when i worked in the in an office in the like probably early two thousands we had open floor plan everyone's in kind of cubicles big cubicles yeah and this is pre iphone so no one you know we had cell phones but we weren't taking calls from them so every time we had conference calls it was on that this big box of a phone that you know cost a thousand dollars and we would just speaker phone so everyone would be on their calls on speaker phone talking it was loud and then i think headphones happened and then people started yep doing headphones and then when the office got super quiet now you can't take a call it's not even about privacy it's just like very intrusive and no one wants to hear you yeah so now you have to talk to somebody

28:29Speaker 0

put yourself in a phone booth and phone booths are back

28:32Speaker 1

yeah it sounds weird though like why would we do everything on speakerphone yeah it was weird

28:38Speaker 0

now that you say that it is pretty weird oh funny funny but i just i just i laugh so much at this that was really good ted day one i love it this from emma g m a few reminders around tickets below this is for farcon nyc applications are open for two more weeks and will close on february 21 so if you haven't applied if you have any inkling that you might wanna go to new york for farcon in may you need to decide that now because you need to apply they have you know as many applications like they're they're pretty much got a total number of applications that would fill the building so and and assuming that they're going to get more over the next couple weeks so the sooner you do it the better so because not everyone will be able to be approved so just fyi so please get in there if you're interested if accepted you will be notified within two weeks of applying and will then have two weeks to claim your ticket in other words there is a two step process make sure you claim your ticket that's what secures your spot and anything that goes on claim they'll start you know giving to waitlist folks honor code applies to builders day reiterating here that tickets are intended for those that plan to participate hack in far hack please only claim if you're interested in doing so i me being the exception because i'm gonna be there reporting on it but adrian's gonna hack adrian's gonna be hacking so yeah very getting very excited for far far con already even though i'm really more focused on east denver at the moment this from jesse and i'm gonna just say go take a give this a read i this is from jesse pollock i took some time to write up my thoughts on the fud around base and our eth earnings tldr purity tests like this are currently a scourge on ethereum and we need to fix the culture to refocus on building and delivering value to real people so go give this a read if you're interested in diving into that or you have some thoughts and if you have some feedback throw throw it jesse's swag but there was like a whole big dust up on that by the way this is your background and it is just lovely they she did a beautiful little photo shoot here this is from samantha our our local candle person flowers and honey candle plus candle holder by ma made by marge.eth is now open for public sale only four bundles are left so get them quick for valentine's day humankind place and hey guys if you're thinking this will never get to me in time for valentine's day you can always just give her a picture of said thing because this picture is really pretty just

31:32Speaker 1

a thought

31:33Speaker 0

there you go it is lovely this from linda very soon on bounty caster you'll be able to prefund a bounty and have the payments auto sent to users to their maybe to their work cast wallets once the bounty is marked as complete we'll also show if a bounty is pre funded dc me if you're interested in testing out this feature for posting a bounty we're rolling it out to select users first so if you're thinking of doing a bounty and you want to test this new feature hit linda up on this cast very cool this would save time on the back end of having to fund it after the fact this from uniswap unichain mainnet is live fast with low fees built for cross chain liquidity prioritizes decentralization from day one you can now deploy defi apps launch tokens swap provide liquidity and more because we needed another chain but

32:33Speaker 0

but also cool and uniswap also has a wallet as well so yeah we're gonna be overrun but that's okay this from dwr also from ted day one like so many there's it's like you can see what's happening without even you know the conversations that are happening without even being there so dwr.eath if we're interviewing creators what questions would you add or remove assume you can only ask six questions max in a fifteen minute combo i thought these questions were dead on my only thing was on the question number three what are your primary channels platforms i would ask why and why they don't use the other ones because it could provide some really good information like we don't use like somebody who is their primary is instagram you would need to you would want to know that because that this may not work for them right now and at least have an understanding of that so if they're on twitter yes it would if they're primary you know what i mean so it's just a different type of communication so any thoughts on this adrienne would you have changed any of these questions or add anything

33:51Speaker 1

no i think to his point when you have fifteen minutes with someone like you real there's only a few questions you can ask i just like obviously i like that we're going after creators so anything about the flywheel of how to grow forecaster like it's about developers for like the the emphasis and focus have been on developers

34:08Speaker 0

right

34:09Speaker 1

and that's great right but it's like the whole you know platform and and developer flywheel relationship with the creators who are yep building content so so i'm excited to see who you know who they're reaching out to and and what they learn and who they're gonna bring over and and also why aren't we on all these other platforms what are our reasons

34:30Speaker 0

yeah we have reasons we have lots of reasons well the re the reasons are the reasons we are on youtube and twitter is because that is where we're most likely to find our audience okay ig yeah makes no sense you can do it and you can go live there but it's actually a little more complicated to do so it would add extra friction for i do not think we'd even get one person so it's probably not worth it same thing twitch is the same thing it's just a very different we could probably move to twitch too now that may make sense there's starting to be more crypto content over there so that might make sense but again it's adding another piece of friction like if

35:14Speaker 1

i was gonna pick if i was gonna pick

35:16Speaker 0

one additional one it would be twitch

35:19Speaker 1

yeah it's like operational overhead so there's only right you can't and then combined with what's the like measure it against what you get from it so if you're not reaching people who care about farcaster news like what's the point

35:33Speaker 0

right exactly like facebook we're not doing that because i don't need my cousins commenting on what i'm doing and asking questions that i don't feel like answering same thing with linkedin so those are the other ones but tiktok we also should be on we should be putting our shorts there we just haven't we haven't done that again it's like an extra piece of friction but we could put our shorts over there so we probably should that's probably our next jump and then maybe twitch but the rest probably doesn't make sense right now anyway but yeah it's something to think about we really need to try to figure out stream and how we can easily do that that is the probably the next surface area but it's again adding some friction so it's that's why it's been a little bit on delay this was interesting speaking of other platforms gm and welcome to pop punk on chain welcome to unruggable social and this was in response to poppunk on chain today twitter manually and wrongfully suspended the account of my company ga keep or gatekeep if this was just a personal account i really wouldn't care as much but gatekeep is a pre seed venture backed company we have employees we have salaries and benefits to pay gatekeep is a full time job for everyone on the team the unfortunate thing is twitter is quite literally one of the main distribution and marketing platforms in our industry this was the platform that we used to build our business since day one i don't like that this is the case but in the crypto industry quite literally everyone is on twitter until now i didn't really see the negative effects of censorship on social media platforms that is until it happened to me and my company without any notice and without any non automated responses they were able to essentially delete our company's presence from their platform this is a pretty eye opening moment for me to start prioritizing this platform meaning farcaster so interesting and we've seen this with other folks too getting either the platform completely or they get hacked or they leave access or something like that and then it becomes a real problem for their business so yeah so there you go unruggable welcome to unruggable

37:58Speaker 1

special yeah

38:00Speaker 0

go go give go give punk pop punk on shane a little a little follow-up

38:04Speaker 1

i'm glad you learned how to say his name i completely read it differently because i'm dyslexic and i was like pop punko okay you were trying to make it fancy it's not me pop punk i was like pop punk gun okay so he says he wouldn't care as much if it's a personal account but seriously like yeah you would care and it matters and like i guess his point is like it really matters like your livelihood matters

38:31Speaker 0

yeah

38:31Speaker 1

but this is more and more like all of us this is i mean i i had commented on this but this is why i chose farcaster or decentralized social mhmm when i didn't have to i'm not getting banned from other places but other people are and it's important to move towards

38:49Speaker 1

you know protocols that can't rug you

38:52Speaker 0

i mean and even you know the big thing the big promise that we'll see if that ever plays out is that even if you some for some reason get banned from warpcast you still can you could create your own client for god's sakes but you could also have other clients that you can jump on as well but we haven't really seen

39:10Speaker 1

that yet yeah now that people are coming over yeah and we're getting new people let's just revisit what it means to be what forecaster's definition of unruggable means

39:20Speaker 0

yeah because hit them

39:22Speaker 1

warpcast is a corporation it's a venture backed company it is centralized and there is someone in charge of your like whether or not someone sees you so you can 100% be shadow banned you can 100% be fully fully banned and kicked off so that nothing you see is visible on webcast so it's very likely someone comes in we saw quickly kanye got kicked off at twitter i think it was probably not quick enough but it was

39:54Speaker 0

first the second time

39:55Speaker 1

you can easily again someone to be like i thought farcaster was for free freedom of speech and now i'm kicked off okay so what it means when we say unrug when forecaster is unruggable it means that the the definition and i'm gonna do this from memory is that two people on the network will be able to communicate even if the rest of the network wants to prevent it

40:18Speaker 0

yep

40:19Speaker 1

so if you have an account you have complete freedom what that means you know not necessarily through warpcast but through technical means to communicate with someone else if you have if you get banned from one net from one client and you have a strong enough like if your voice is important and if you are reaching lots of people like yes there will be a time for you to create another client there will be other clients for you to communicate with but it does not mean there's no such thing as shadow banning on clients it doesn't mean there's no such thing as moderation right and so i just think that's an important distinction

40:57Speaker 0

yeah for sure and just to answer your question we don't know what's going on this has been happening to me for a while so yes i am going from like the screen to regular and i don't know why i can't seem to fix it and it's something to do with the camera in my computer so there you go do you

41:17Speaker 1

want me to should we set a bounty for someone who knows av shit to fix this and everyone please tell professor that green face doesn't take away from the quality of the news because this is what we were laughing about in our in our little private green room before we went live and i assured her people are not coming to look at our faces i know this

41:39Speaker 0

they don't care

41:41Speaker 1

yeah i mean it's really annoying and i i feel your

41:44Speaker 0

pain it's really annoying but this yeah this is very cool to see and it's cool to see that somebody had the experience that they could you know really see the benefit of decentralization in real time so pretty cool this from kojo by the way i'm still wondering why they got what happened but i'm sure we'll find out eventually this from kojo last week we noticed an influx of users all voting for the same answer repeatedly in the predicted polls leading to statistically impossible outcomes e g 100% accuracy over 30 votes so today we launched collusion guard 9,000 which by the okay i have to stop there because immediately all i could see was dan aykroyd circa 1976 saturday night live with like a blender doing collusion guard 9,000 like the fake commercials that's all i could see when i saw this so going on it uses m ml to identify statistically anomalous clusters and adjust the vote weights accordingly for example if you voted alongside 50 other people on all of the right answers for 10 questions your vote diminishes in value until your responses normalize people who fall into those clusters can still participate in boosted polls and win an equal amount by selecting the right answer no banning required for now there's risk in this approach we expect a drop off in numbers from colluders and some won't consider this decentralized but the overall integrity of the game should increase so this is why we can't have nice things

43:31Speaker 1

just just

43:31Speaker 0

stop people just stop it

43:34Speaker 1

listen i mean every time if there is a monetary reward someone's gonna name it

43:41Speaker 0

yeah show me the incentive i'll show you the outcome and this was the outcome collusion guard nine thousand which great job with the naming like just hilarious this

43:52Speaker 1

from ted collusion is bad right

43:54Speaker 0

collusion's bad yes it's like cabals you know that's what cabals do yeah

44:00Speaker 1

but i thought cabal good

44:02Speaker 0

no cabal cabal ironically good cabal real so it depends it depends on which kind of cabal this is from ted forty submissions to kiwi's future of farcaster writing contest shout out to mac badowski and tim daub for putting this together i can't wait to read them all check it out at news.kiwistand.com so very exciting this was in response to kiwi saying the submissions to our contest officially closed yesterday but you still have time until the february 17 to vote and decide who's going to win so go check that out very exciting i have to go give those a read this is just cool create your own built on ethereum badge by adding any colors or logos you want to match your branding visit ethbadge.xyz and any and all feedback is welcomed from the community and you'll see on the screen here that i have my little built on oops over there built on ethereum in the top corner of my background and that was the gm farcaster one that somebody had created which i thought was cool so these are pretty cool i like seeing them around there's one with a farcaster arch too which i should have pulled and as well as so

45:30Speaker 1

much better than intel in size

45:32Speaker 0

yes definitely better this from chic bangs attention please if you've if you've been summoned to paint the timeline red let it rip if you haven't and want to join the fun lincoln replies we are celebrating the shake remix drop with style of course this is a dark and moody twist on the original and perfect excuse to dance maybe get a little sexy with it it's infused with the uhs you need to tap into your primal self i'm very excited for you to hear it presale goes live tomorrow wednesday february 12 that's today at high noon mst two pm est if you collected the original shake or get up on sound x y z you're on the allow list which i did collectors will receive priority access to future drops and shake for mental health activations one lucky collector will receive an additional one of one art drop and 2,000 higher heartfelt thank you for supporting on chain musicians let's shake things up shall we so very cool i love this we love shake we love when she was on here and we were all shaking it was a whole thing so you can go back and watch that episode we should drop a link to that and adrienne you've already painted your pfp red so painting the timeline red to celebrate shake remix

47:15Speaker 0

i love your castle and jake also rocking his red pfe for the next twenty four hours for chic banks that's big so jake is normally the blue dot that you see and now he's the red dot so that was pretty cool love that

47:32Speaker 1

i

47:32Speaker 0

have to go change mine i haven't had a chance to do that so i will do that after the show i'm up to

47:37Speaker 1

date with my red piece

47:38Speaker 0

i love it i love it and this from brad q our last sort of topic here is war cast rewards rewards leaderboard results the algo tweak brings back two newer accounts into the top 10 art by salman has been here just two weeks with the top 25 and number two this week kaye has been here a month and jumps to number six the merkelization of ted and woj opened two new spots in the top 10 and frank took advantage at number seven amelie at 10 but merkelizing woje didn't stop superanon from owning the top spot again swampnet is camping and caching at number five again two in a row congratulations swampnet i may have made sure i went and like liked all her things because i didn't want her to fall off there 11 to 30 now cash one hundred and first appearances for heavyweight ava arts and yon frilla this was the first week that paid 1,000 spots so we should see a lot more first timers posting their first reward so let's celebrate them when we see their posts and any idea what number i ended up at

48:56Speaker 1

yes i think you ended up at 68

48:59Speaker 0

yes i did i found that very frustrating

49:06Speaker 1

i

49:06Speaker 0

know it's just my stupid thing because i'm always somewhere around there naturally so i just that's my goal now forget one

49:15Speaker 1

do you know how many

49:16Speaker 0

five i'm i'm shooting for 69 there we go

49:19Speaker 1

as a consolation prize our number of youtube subscribers right now ends in 69

49:24Speaker 0

okay well there we go that's lovely not the same but yeah

49:29Speaker 1

yeah and you can guess what the first

49:30Speaker 0

by the way this makes no difference on the amount of rewards i would get like none whatsoever it's the same so this is not a monetary thing

49:37Speaker 1

so let me ask you this mental thing let's say it's at 68 you get 10 times the amount of reward

49:43Speaker 0

oh then i'm fine

49:47Speaker 1

just kidding

49:48Speaker 0

this is more just for fun this is my own little

49:51Speaker 1

my own little challenge to myself dan really needs to actually we should someone tell veron this

49:56Speaker 0

right now 69 tag him should be 69

50:00Speaker 1

60 9 needs to actually have also get the 300 reward whatever

50:06Speaker 0

or it should be 69 instead of whatever it is now it's 25 yeah mhmm just if you hit that number i think it would be fun it's challenging when you're really close and you're and you're like how can i adjust my behavior to try and hit this exact number is a little bit of a challenge so i get very close go ahead all right you're is that what you're doing she's she's casting right now

50:32Speaker 1

this is

50:32Speaker 0

from yesterday

50:32Speaker 1

i also made my first swaps on this call

50:35Speaker 0

as well while you're giving the news so i'm glad i'm here doing the work while she's just playing around

50:41Speaker 1

this is so fun i love jamstarcasters this is why

50:45Speaker 0

we do the show so adrienne can get things done

50:48Speaker 1

on the timeline while i do the news this

50:51Speaker 0

is from yesta crypto one of the coolest things about war cast rewards leaderboard is you can find neat new content to follow agreed the second coolest thing is that by following them you reduce their multiplier for a few followers and hopefully bring them down a notch which is absolutely hilarious and very machiavellian but i love it so yeah so go follow some people this was so funny from a non pappy and if you are if you weren't here in twenty twenty one twenty twenty two hard rock nick r i p may not be familiar to you but he would people would hire him to do cameos and this is what he would say every time was like the same they would have this copypasta and that was done via him on cameo and anan pappy has adjusted it slightly yes this is professor explains memes badly here we go every day i checked my position on warcraft's leaderboard bad position every day open app same name same order android 16 still there still posting bangers i can't take this anymore i need to move up the leaderboard can devs do something so can devs do something meme kind of came from this this era so there you go and then he did a video of it and it was hilarious as well so go check that out this from jesse pollock with his rewards i just got $300 for farcaster rewards reply with something quick and cool you do with $50 to bring someone i should say 50 usdc to bring someone new on chain or grow the ecosystem we'll send out 52 best ideas until i run out he did that he ran out and then he loaded up another thousand to keep going to do more there were i'm just jk there are too many good ideas so i loaded up another thousand and i'm just going to keep funding people to bring the world on chain there you go so if you have an idea go go throw it at jesse but you better hurry he might be out again but this was great and this from tldr replying to dwr pro tip tuesdays around 1pm pacific pacific is a perfect time to launch something on chain warpcast rewards get sent out starting at around 08:30 a m pacific and finish around one p m pacific and tldr is now named this stimi hour let's ship it during stimi hour and i like that it's interesting thinking

53:24Speaker 1

so there you go

53:25Speaker 0

this from mortaza warpcast rewards just paid my electricity

53:38Speaker 0

response to aaron ferguson war cast rewards got me drunk how's that for utility

53:45Speaker 1

so what are you doing with your rewards mine are still just sitting in my wallet is sarah mclaughlin gonna do the commercial

53:53Speaker 0

god

53:55Speaker 1

oh we are not serious people

53:59Speaker 0

and this was from horse facts which was really funny farcaster paper hands do nothing but dump as soon as rewards went out you scrub spent all day dumping your beautiful stable coins for eth not very usdc aligned so there was a lot of swapping from usdc to eth in similar to your recommendation to your children there you go

54:20Speaker 1

yeah how does he know are they spying

54:23Speaker 0

on us it's like they're spying it's like he knows it's crazy

54:27Speaker 1

i thought this was decentralized

54:30Speaker 0

yeah it's also very public welcome to a transfer

54:33Speaker 1

of public blockchain so so merkel just knows everything we're doing and spies on us

54:38Speaker 0

everything it's crazy you know where else you know who else knows dune dune com

54:43Speaker 1

that's so sketchy

54:44Speaker 0

as well

54:45Speaker 1

i know right i'm going back

54:47Speaker 0

to the beginning like it's as if everyone can see this blockchain thing it's crazy amazing this from ted yo jesse jean afrochicks and swampnet started at warp cast rewards train on twitter love to see the girls winning choo choo mf ps add your own screenshots so if you want to share your weekly rewards and share it on twitter there's a thread you can go jump into very cool and in a couple other notes before we cap close this out this from justin drake the ethereum foundation research team will host a reddit ama on february 25 at 2pm utc got question casters submit them now and then they should do one over here just a thought there for you ethereum foundation and this from riley beans which was a really good read it is long it is really good and i'd highly recommend that you go check it out and this is from riley beans well it's here tldr refocusing my work elsewhere for an indefinite time here's why the chaotic moral compass accelerates and

56:08Speaker 0

it was a great read

56:12Speaker 0

highly recommend you go take a look she is moving away from

56:19Speaker 0

eic which was the ethereum i forget the whole thing but the magazine which by the way i looked at the most recent issue it's great that just came out a couple days ago so that is linked within this as well you can go take a look but really just kind of expresses the frustration with the space in general and just feeling like you know for everyone for all of us who may enjoy the gambling there are many who don't and who feel frustrated with that as well as other behaviors in the crypto sphere so i don't know go give it a read see what you think but love you riley and hope to see your other writing and whatever you're working on still being shared so i hope you stick around warpedcast a little bit but yeah so it was a

57:13Speaker 1

little yeah it was a

57:14Speaker 0

hard read

57:14Speaker 1

riley i i didn't read i didn't read it i want to don't give it a read

57:19Speaker 0

it's long it's long

57:20Speaker 1

i i think her voice is super important she's like she's influenced a ton of people has made such an impact so one

57:30Speaker 0

has amplified a lot of people too like really shared their stories and their voices and their work and what they're building so i think that to me is like a huge loss

57:41Speaker 1

and you can't take that away i mean like that's the the the effect that she's had and you can't take that away so i just have a lot of gratitude for her and and and i think she's not the first person to to leave mhmm for said reasons

58:01Speaker 0

yeah

58:01Speaker 1

and won't be the last and it and she and it won't be the last

58:06Speaker 0

change dramatically yeah

58:08Speaker 1

and we could we could do a whole show on on feelings about that but

58:12Speaker 0

yep this is feelings check-in speaking of nope no

58:17Speaker 1

i don't have feelings no feelings

58:19Speaker 0

no feelings there and with that now my now my camera seems fine of course because we're done yeah because we're done i'm no longer green

58:33Speaker 1

so yeah sorry for the green

58:34Speaker 0

yeah tell me

58:35Speaker 1

if it's distracting oh red wings offered to look at all of your diagnostics okay

58:42Speaker 0

thank you ricky

58:42Speaker 1

and he used to deploy video conferencing systems so maybe we can what yeah well yeah i mean this is oh my god send him some info type a camera how it's connected yada yada and yeah okay alright well let's try we can do you wanna know what do you wanna know about my token swapping experience in the world

59:02Speaker 0

yes please do just yes tell us what you did what's in your wallet on

59:07Speaker 1

it for you i did some swaps easy and i guess and i if you wanna know what i picked up guess what the first one i picked up

59:19Speaker 0

is oive oive of course

59:24Speaker 1

yes i got of course i got some oive some castout

59:29Speaker 0

oh good i have a gac to pick some of that up

59:32Speaker 1

some degen some moxie and some higher nice so just some farcaster coded stuff the they don't all have pictures associated with it i guess for me like my always when i when i do these i never know when you search by a name like are you getting the right one and how do you know

59:48Speaker 0

right yeah

59:50Speaker 1

so how your you know and again and i know certain like wallets will try it

59:57Speaker 0

so i did like this yeah so i guess i'm not sure what level you need to put the little logo in but deegen has their logo so for them it'll show you this like half swap and same thing with like ethereum and usdc but yeah they so if you have a token we need to figure that out and we probably need to figure that out for ours as well and i just don't know

60:21Speaker 1

what's the

60:22Speaker 0

half swap about so no that's the the only

60:26Speaker 1

if you have the image

60:27Speaker 0

yeah so degen has it set like it properly and i like it i like

60:31Speaker 1

it okay but no but i

60:32Speaker 0

don't usual thing

60:35Speaker 1

it looks like you're swapping main net ethereum to degen on base

60:39Speaker 0

ah yeah well that's what you're doing you're sweat well you're not what you are it's basies yeah yeah

60:45Speaker 1

so okay fair i don't like it i don't like that it's confusing to me blockheim heads up and i

60:51Speaker 0

like i like the design because it gives me a quick visual of like what did i do i swapped to dgen so i liked that it had that because you see like moxie doesn't have it so then it looks just like ethereum that's my swap for moxie and it and they must not have the logo set

61:11Speaker 1

so yeah

61:12Speaker 0

and i'm just not sure where you set there no i gotta figure that out but

61:16Speaker 1

yeah so

61:18Speaker 0

anyway and then these are just the nfts you see the visual of the nft which i think looks good alright so we need a little different visual i see i see what you're saying but i don't think that doesn't bother me but i like the half i like the little split

61:35Speaker 1

i think it gives you an option because if it if it's if there's gonna be a split on a swap it needs to be done every swap yeah so so then that even if you don't have an image then defaulted to nothing i don't know

61:47Speaker 0

i feel like yeah maybe there needs to be a or a little i don't know

61:51Speaker 1

by the way

61:52Speaker 0

a default image we

61:53Speaker 1

should let people go and carry on with their day but i'm gonna tease out something on the gm forecaster network we're toying with the idea of launching a product feedback livestream so doing a bringing different products up and doing live feedbacks so if you like that type of stuff you don't have to get it from us but add it to the no no

62:15Speaker 0
