GM Farcaster ep225 Monday March 17, 2025

29 Seconds of Farcaster ... What did you miss this weekend? * ~417 touching grass images Saturday from a rumor that /crypto-the-game immunity may be on the line. Alas, just a rumor. * @esteez.eth Farcon 8-minute lightning round topics are open for submission & @linda cast about a Frames workshop on 3/28 w/ @samuellhuber.eth * @arjantupan revealed that $bonj is headed toward a lifestyle brand & may seek to be the 'bohemian & hedonistic' sibling of $higher 😆 👀 * @pichi wrote a great /firstdraft 'The Unwritten Rules of Farcaster' that will be useful for many, especially new people. * @alvesjtiago.eth quietly cast that @fiids allows you to see casts from everyone in a starter pack without following everyone. Interesting. * @0xzara.eth released a banger of a video for CTG players about the touching grass day. If you've never seen one of her vids, check it out * @adrienne & @nounishprof will talk CTG (prof is still in!) & all things Farcaster | 8:30 AM EST

How I feel this morning

live view of tonight’s crypto the game vote.

Survived another night in Crypto: The Game. 🌙🔥 But the whispers are getting louder… secret chats, hidden deals, shifting votes - who’s in the cabal, and who’s playing real? 👀 Another day, another round. Who’s next? #CryptoTheGame

my haters are celebrating

POV: you’re playing two games of Brick Breaker in two incognito tabs with thirty minutes on the clock desperately trying to increase your score while everyone else on your tribe is lending their NFTs out to the players who already reached Level 250 to play on their behalf 😰

Y’all some vicious creatures 😂 Gg, I wanna be mad but I’m laughing so hard rn, had no idea I was top of anyone’s list, feel like I’ve made it in life tbh. Still bleed pink 💕

the sheet survivor

gn to 89 more players. 315 remain. The entire game will change tomorrow at 12p ET...

Brackets are set--I haven't seen any commentary yet. Any quick takes on the bracket? * I don't see a clear hardest region like usual * Bottom half of East looks intriguing, esp. Wisconsin-BYU in Round 2 winner maybe making a run * Houston toughest run for a #1? Florida easiest? (s/o @jrs 😁) What say you?

"mistakes were made in a cabal I controlled" - ORANGE TG MODS and cabal owners Particularly - Lovish - Ricky Wang - Emmanual Aremu (and wtf - he's GREEN TRIBE) Orange tribe - see quoted cast for maybe who to vote for.

orange slices stick together, do they? https://zora.co/coin/base:0x544225a83e7fb5b5ea96716b8c889d09b9617fa3?referrer=0x6d9fFaede2c6CD9bb48becE230ad589e0E0D981c

ted the lebron of crypto the game

master difficult esoteric skills with zero use in the real world alienate friends and family while losing your money take enormous physical and psychic damage every day yeah, I'd say that's "crypto the game"

A Salute to Noun O'Clock Live (my /firstdraft ) Tonight is the 1,000th *straight* & final show. Many won't know Noun O'Clock Live, but if you've come across @zerorightsmedia w/ @toadyhawk.eth & @jackwyldes.eth that was born out of Noun O'Clock LIve--a daily show for all things /nouns I was there in the beginning as a daily listener. NOC Live helped me make Nouns my first home in web3. They were fun & informative, dedicated to helping people like me learn how a DAO could steward 10s of millions of dollars to promote a brand & do good in the world. On 8/8/22, they did a 24 hr show for the 1st Anniversary of Nouns. I was one of their guests because I had just joined Nouncil (Nounish Council) & had won my first prophouse. That show regularly comes into my mind. I have art on my wall from it (s/o @messhup ). I can't tell my web3 story w/o talking a lot about The NounSquare & NOC Live. So, thank you @toadyhawk.eth @benbodhi @nounishprof @supertightwoody @robotfishgirl @aubtoshi among others 🫡

The Unwritten Rules of Farcaster (a thread 1/11) 1. Don’t ask for follows—most users ignore or avoid those who do. 2. Engagement matters—treat it as a social network, not just a broadcasting platform. 3. The algorithm prioritizes engagement—interact with content you like to train your feed. 4. Give likes freely to support content you enjoy. 5. Reply thoughtfully—generic responses don’t add value and may be ignored. 6. Tag people with purpose—avoid tagging non-followers without a good reason. 7. Use channels to connect—they’re a safe space for engaging beyond your followers. 8. If you’re being ignored, check your spam label—many won’t see your replies if you’re at Level 0 or 1. 9. Rules are looser with friends—banter freely, but remember relationships take time to build. 10. Farcaster is a unique, close-knit community—engage authentically, be patient, and you’ll find your place.

Starting to think some of y’all don’t know what actual grass is But really glad to see friends enjoying their Saturday regardless

Day 6 in Crypto: The Game - Touch Grass & Gather Intel 🌿 No challenges today, just a chance to explore the island, connect the wallets, explore the activity, and see who’s really in the game. Conversations are flowing, alliances are forming… but are they real or just for survival? 👀 Tomorrow, the chaos returns. The next vote looms, the stakes rise, and trust? That’s a rare commodity. Stay sharp, frens... the game never sleeps! ⏳🔥 #CTG

I have touched grass. Does this count? I’m in a desert.

feature request: let me mute a frame

Very misleading to be a FIP. The Farcaster protocol as laid out in its specification is NOT recieving a direct message system with this update. The Warpcast Direct messaging system will be further opened beyond existing APIs To me that’s great for programmability but NOT a protocol feature! A feature built on top of the protocol sure but not protocol level Though as Frames also are a client level, non protocol feature I get why it may be an FIP Though I already see posts from people saying DCs will be at protocol level because of the FIP label. TLDR: very very excited about DCs opening up, though as always I prefer more precise language 😂 Why DCs matter? Darn it just look at telegram bot markets, they are HUGE! Great for devs, great for AI/programmable workflows!

Big news, y’all! After a year of building on Base, I’m beyond excited to officially join the @coinbase and @base.base.eth team to create the best onchain wallet experience out there!!! I’ll be responsible for trading at @baseapp.base.eth as a PM - an absolute dream come true. I’ve spent the last 6 years building in the trading space, spending hours and days in the trenches, and now I get to bring all that experience, insights, and user knowledge directly into CBW! Time to bring the world onchain. Let’s gooo! I believe we’re closer than ever to unlocking a new economy and bringing 1 billion users onchain, and Base is definitely the place to be - to build, to create, and to participate in this historic moment!
