well dan shared the priorities i think last monday or tuesday and so what you guys know is the same exact

3:01Speaker 0

stuff that

3:02Speaker 1

we know so i'm working with dan very closely on outreach and like basically just reaching out to all the creators both existing on broadcaster and outside to better understand their experiences any pain points what they love what they don't love and trying to figure out like what's the so what for for them to be here so that's our number one priority or at least mine your turn

3:26Speaker 0

and what you what are you doing back there sir what's your number one priority right now

3:33Speaker 2

i'm i'm working on growth and i'm a software engineer which is com which by combination means that i both do like small things for example yesterday i shipped i didn't ship it but i you

3:46Speaker 1

will see

3:47Speaker 2

updates what do i do i update that hopefully you would like but also you know my priority is is around rewards we're building something really cool around rewards and and i'm i'm kinda unique to fame

4:00Speaker 0

so oh cool alright i love that

4:03Speaker 2

soon ish

4:04Speaker 0

nice and then are you both gonna be at east denver or no no i'll i'm going to east denver

4:12Speaker 1

dan will be at east denver for one day

4:15Speaker 0

for one day is he speaking no i don't think he answered okay i wasn't sure i was like one day does that mean you're speaking or something like because that's kinda what it sounded like to me and i was like that's odd but cool i was hoping i was kinda hoping like i could catch him on a stage or something get some get some no

4:34Speaker 1

you can catch him in person i think we're figuring out a way because ideally it would be on saturday night with the meetup but there was just conflicts so we're trying to figure out a way to still have a little fun community meetup

4:47Speaker 0

we did just secure our podcast spot at noon noon on thursday and we're gonna be building in ten minute segments so if and this is for anybody who's listening if you're gonna be at eatdenver you're building something on farcaster you've got a booth or you're speaking or whatever and you're gonna be there make sure you swing by we'll slide you in and i'll reach out to you ted with more info because we'll be right on the main floor yeah in the podcast space so for about an hour yay but it's gonna be amazing

5:19Speaker 1

okay well then that works because it's thursday so we'll reach out

5:23Speaker 0

amazing alright

5:24Speaker 2

just before so if you have some funny comments thank oh hi henry go ahead i love we

5:32Speaker 0

got we got a lot of highs coming in for you all i love this yes yes

5:37Speaker 1

as our people on the inside who's the ex intern we cannot disclose that information sorry

5:42Speaker 0

you can't disclose no no disclosure no disclosure i you know when we asked dan the same question about the intern he was a little cagey so we made our assumptions about who that intern is meaning him but you know we could be wrong we're right i'm pretty sure we're right it might be a shared account is my guess though as well i wanna dive into the news i have to have to start here like this is not farcaster news but this is crypto news that is going to encapsulate everybody but also kyle this is hilarious kyle's take on the libra news this is hayden not adam's david

6:30Speaker 1

yeah not adam about this that's good

6:34Speaker 0

and then this is another meme from that i saw on farcaster bro i have a business idea yeah don't get one no no no and then this i prefer politicians that don't default to the kubrick stare for the portraits like kenny

6:48Speaker 1

is so funny kenny is like one of top 10 people

6:51Speaker 0

yeah so funny so so funny so overall here's what happened in case you missed it the president of argentina tweeted out this meme coin with this whole plan that it was gonna support small business in argentina and this whole thing it quickly went bad

7:08Speaker 1

oh very insane that

7:10Speaker 0

yeah very very very very bad rick's bounty for if you were on warpedcast and you haven't been on crypto twitter and you don't you haven't been following it rick's bounty kinda was really capturing what was going on so go take a look at his account and you can get caught up but also here's the bottom line if you really want the whole story and like the insanity of this coffeezilla dropped an interview with hayden davis i believe is his last name from the crew who launched this coin and it is mind blowing and it's gonna be the thing everyone's talking about today in the next couple days

7:52Speaker 1

did you already watch it

7:53Speaker 0

already watched it it was out at around 1am my time and i was watching it because i was like this is insane insane so go give it a watch who do

8:05Speaker 1

you think is the bad guy in this story

8:08Speaker 0

definitely the devs like no

8:12Speaker 1

question what's

8:14Speaker 0

the name hayden and his crew like yeah like that crew

8:19Speaker 1

they're devs are they were they the devs

8:21Speaker 0

there's some devs in the background he is not and he says so in this but like their whole marketing plan all everything they were doing with influencers there's a lot of not great stuff happening but the thing about this interview that is mind blowing to me as an attorney is that he did this interview yes at all

8:42Speaker 1

i was about to say didn't this just happen like on thursday or friday and then all of a sudden there's already an interview out

8:48Speaker 0

yes and then he was just on and i haven't watched it because i missed it i caught the very end he was just on with dave portnoy also just now dude like right before

8:56Speaker 1

the as an attorney

8:58Speaker 0

clearly not like please stop talking you do have the right to remain silent and please get an attorney i'm begging you i'm begging you sir so bad

9:07Speaker 1

this is

9:08Speaker 0

a really bad idea so anyway so that's what's been happening in the world of crypto over the past couple of days and it has been mind blowing but by the way i loved when you casted this because nfa she was not endorsing this coin but it was a great way to see the new token page is fantastic but also what i love about this is that you can see the comments that are mentioning it below that so that because that really brings the social aspect into it so if you are trying to catch up on the conversation around libra and i i forgot to tag mine with libra you'll see so much right here so you can do it that way and i'd highly recommend that really gives you a good picture of what's been happening so go check that out

10:00Speaker 1

when i joined i i started testing token pages and i was like people are gonna think i've gone like full degen because i kept doing it

10:07Speaker 0

and i

10:07Speaker 1

was like no no i just wanna like see it in action

10:10Speaker 0

well and that's why dan keeps saying what's the ticker it's not because he's not because he's looking for like his next investment people he's testing things so but that was really i love the token pages they are very cool and it's a great way to get info so great great great

10:29Speaker 1

inside inside thing

10:31Speaker 0

always

10:33Speaker 0

oh oh she's checking to see if she can tell us

10:36Speaker 2

oh yeah you can even see

10:38Speaker 1

yeah yeah yeah hold on hold on i think i can tell you guys

10:42Speaker 0

we're getting like live discussion with elsa

10:49Speaker 1

sloke shipped the token pages

10:51Speaker 0

that was pretty good nice nice oh so that's that's

10:55Speaker 1

why they're so good

10:56Speaker 0

good timing that's my next thing that we didn't get to shout out last week because it was after our show i'm joining merkel this is from sloke after building around farcaster for one point five years i'm more bullish than ever on the team protocol and product the last time i felt this way about something was when i joined opensea almost four years ago 2025 will be big for crypto and farcaster will be at the center of it shoo choo which i totally was so excited to see this hire as well amazing addition and there was a lot of discussion when so when woje was teasing the second hire and dan was teasing the second hire we obviously were saying you but the other name i kept hearing a lot was sloke so that was yeah right on time yeah right on time very exciting like

11:48Speaker 1

so excited we like are literally so excited

11:52Speaker 0

you can feel the energy right now yeah you know how you know how like you could feel it like when frames dropped there was frames friday and there was that energy of like for that whole weekend where you did not want to put your phone down you didn't want to like look away from farcaster because there was so much going on and you knew you'd miss something it's like that again and in such the best way i love it yeah like it feels so good and dan did a great job kind of summing up last week three new people joining woah ted and sloke base announcing upcoming farcaster support farcon twenty twenty five in new york in may reminder last week to get your application in is friday's last day don't forget increased size of warpedcast rewards token links and pages warpedcast wallet snapchain testnet 90,000 free invites public spam labels q four retroactive grants following feed option highlighted notifications first cast in a while notifications love that by the way muted channels bug and performance improvements to dcs more to come choo choo that was a lot

13:01Speaker 2

13:02Speaker 0

it's a lot it's a lot what are you most excited about when you look at this list like what do you feel like is driving like excitement at the moment or what do you what are you excited about personally

13:18Speaker 1

13:21Speaker 0

i i really thought you were gonna say parkhan new york but okay

13:26Speaker 1

well it's hard i am excited about parkhan new york i'm excited about i don't know everything

13:33Speaker 0

it's like the the the speed

13:35Speaker 1

and volume of shipping is literally unmatched and i think as we continue to grow i think i'm excited about focusing on growth and really expanding the size of our caster this year so that's a lot of things but figuring out what the unlock is right

13:53Speaker 0

i love it i love it say i like i i'm excited about everything but i'm really excited about farcon i'm just gonna say it really really excited about that so but so many so many things happening this was from dan as well looking for more examples of crypto apps using farcaster data permissionlessly or with sign in with farcaster rainbow trending tokens and rodeo profile integration please reply with a screenshot link to the app trying to compile all of them in one spot so if you want us to highlight your app now is your chance so that is something too if you are a dev building something make sure you check this out also we forgot to mention the collectibles were added i don't think we mentioned this last week collectibles were added to the war cast wallet so you can see your nfts in there now which is very cool

15:15Speaker 1

no thumb just did it and oh wow

15:19Speaker 0

the funny

15:19Speaker 1

thing is is we just like i think horace fox found it first and he shared it in the team slack and he was like this is really fun and funny and then everybody went and played it

15:30Speaker 0

i thought he created it oh that's funny okay so it was somebody completely different oh wow that's fun there's a lot

15:36Speaker 1

of cool frames that were like these cool more social synthetic like frames that were shipped over the weekend this one was a fun one

20:43Speaker 1

you can say that make that joke next week

20:48Speaker 0

oh no i'm just kidding i'm just kidding here we get out you're in a new world now i love this from seattle crypto not gonna lie every time i see someone with a purple ring i go to check their profile to see what space they're in and the reason i pulled this is is because you said this get a dog food war cast video experience so wojcie and i will be doing a week one recap video i will have any questions you want us to answer anything you wanna see etcetera ideally we prefer 5pm pt see you on the timeline soon the reason i was saying that is because i wanted to suggest like that's what i do wanna see is that when you go live

21:27Speaker 1

right that you can like yeah

21:29Speaker 0

something like that like i ideally if somebody's live so what i love about twitter spaces and even live on video if you're streaming on twitter is that if you log into twitter right now you're gonna see my little you know pfps got a little ring around it and you can click on it and figure out where i am and what i'm doing so to me like that would be amazing to have something similar but it'll come i'm sure but i love that idea and i know you're working on things like that so figured i'd take this moment to point that out

22:03Speaker 1

we love we we do love feedback

22:06Speaker 0

so i know i know that i know that and when are we gonna see this video is this coming out today yes are we doing something

22:13Speaker 1

have to edit it okay it's really bad we recorded it at like 6pm on friday and we were like

22:20Speaker 0

deleted it though that's kinda perfect like your first week after your first like you know fire hose of a week i think that's great that's gonna

22:28Speaker 1

be fun

22:29Speaker 0

by the way i don't know if you know this but any of our videos like any of our interviews anything we do is cc by so you're welcome to use and remix anything and if you need the raw like if you're like hey we want to use x y z from dan's go ahead you don't have to ask permission yeah

22:48Speaker 1

amazing

22:48Speaker 0

and if you need better copies just let us know

22:51Speaker 1

okay

22:52Speaker 0

this also from you i loved this always shoot your shot a year ago i shipped with some help from greg an fid gated frame i vaguely remember this everybody saw oops you can't see this except for dwr eth who saw my pitch to work together and cassie and greg ann who figured out my embarrassingly obvious naming convention for each sloshing alerted me asap

23:17Speaker 1

it actually was worse that greg gregon saw it because he was the head of engineering at my last job where i was working

23:26Speaker 0

oh that's funny that's funny this is this is awesome by the way i love this i love that you did it this way so cute invisible frame oops you can't see this so that's really cool and i vaguely remember you doing that and then this was the announcement that came out from you last week so super excited so glad to have you here what can we do for both of you to help you with your jobs as folks who are already here how can we help you

24:02Speaker 1

this is good for me i think one thing that's really hard when new people join like we just can't possibly know so if you see new people who are great ads to the community either shoot them my way or do follow friday and recommend that people nice them and follow-up friday because i think the hardest thing is like we're like it's easier to once you start from zero on farcaster you never have to start again but starting from zero is really hard for everyone

24:31Speaker 0

so i agree yeah and i've been liking seeing people shout out different new folks when they bring them on and being able to find them and we've had some really good newbies who've come in and like done some like great content and it's like oh they've like popped off like crazy so

24:46Speaker 1

swampnet's friend from

24:48Speaker 0

yes i was trying to remember talking about yes i'm trying to remember her name yeah yes yes

24:54Speaker 1

cronella yeah

24:55Speaker 0

yes yes i think that's it yep so good so good also farcock would like to know where does he get that hat woj

25:07Speaker 2

25:11Speaker 0

25:16Speaker 1

these were the hats that we got that we gave out to everyone who came to dev day

25:21Speaker 0

25:22Speaker 1

they were limited edition but i was just talking before we went live to see if we can get another drunk it another one yeah

25:32Speaker 0

i would love one i would love one of those and this one if you would like was from the capsule collection for farcon new york so yeah that was i don't know if they're still available i think they're i think they're sold out but i love it okay and then you'll be at 8 denver next week you're gonna be at the farcaster meetup on saturday yeah you'll still be there even though dan's gone and also reminder gm farcasters brunch is that morning from

a while there's there's a lot of it's kia koda is that what you said oh i hadn't thought of that one that could be possible that you know

26:45Speaker 2
