GM Farcaster ep232 Wednesday April 2, 2025 with guest cohost Rachel Wilkins

Cute! maybe I should send some $ghiblify to the minters to match your cute digital tees @jc4p —and frame worked smoothly!

One thing I enjoy about Farcaster is the large presence of people who build things. Half of the time, I don’t understand what they’re trying to build, don’t get the vision, and/or don’t think there’s any viable business case. But that hardly matters — partly because I may be wrong in my assessment, and partly because the bigger picture is that these people have skin in the game. It’s easy to partake in an online community of circle-jerkers that engage in abstract philosophistry, drop vacuous platitudes, and vaguepost their way to strategic ambivalence. In fact bots can now do that faster and cheaper than humans, expanding milquetoast content to a singularity. At least builders put their money where their mouth is — that brings a degree of authenticity and grit to the network. Even if they are wrong, they’ll remain true.

All this time I’ve been here, and I just now realized there’s an evil twin version of @dwr.eth running around. Feels like I missed a major plot twist.

Hi hi testing a new open source repo for a simple mintable static image, it is 50¢ I think? it works? Let me know! Will include GitHub repos in the next cast! https://ghiblification-survivor.kasra.codes/

This week on Farcaster I earned: ~$5 from Warpcast Rewards ~$3 from tips ~$7 from predicting on @ponder ~$12 from airdrops Total: ~$27 Earnings from Twitter over the past 7 years: $0

I cosign all of the below. I go back and forth about how I feel about crypto in general but its just a nice place to post, and, unlike Twitter, it doesn't suppress my Substack links, which I deeply appreciate.

I get a minimum 1m impressions a month on twitter and have never made a cent off the platform so yes the $25 notification here brings me joy

Introducing MiniKit 🤏 ✨ The easiest way to build mini apps. Build once. Publish on Warpcast + @baseapp.base.eth. Finding new users is that easy. Get started: https://docs.base.org/builderkits/minikit/overview

if you choose 5 get ready to be doxxed because we WILL be livestreaming the entire flight

new attack vector to make you like me

One of the fastest ways to dox yourself as a cryptopleb is to ask "why am I getting free money on Farcaster today?" It is preordained. On any given day it needs no reasons.

Introducing Tips - Once a week, we summarize the people on the network you interact with the most - You can opt-in to sending them a $1 USDC tip by tapping - We batch all the tips in a single transaction - Shout out to @woj and @blockheim for the quick ship!

@adrienne talking about /gmfarcaster at the @base.base.eth meetup in NYC. First time meeting IRL. Would recommend.
