oh even big oh yeah that too it's even bigger it's even bigger yeah i mean who knows it might be a million dollars by the end of two weeks wouldn't that be great
what i don't know
it could hit a hundred k or whatever yeah i don't even know yeah no it's not gonna just kidding i i have been like why i know i shouldn't question why but this is one of these like wait what what's going on and the only thing you know that makes sense the only thing that makes sense today is that it's because of the pope it's the
pope it's pope it's not the pope
no are you sure i'm pretty sure it's a pope i mean that's what that's what gt said i'm pretty sure it's a pope bump
did the pope buy bitcoin yesterday
i don't know apparently i it's the only thing that makes sense this is from gt okay i have been very surprised at how many pope memes are happening right now on farcaster i didn't i didn't see that coming i didn't see an interest in the new pope like taking over my timeline okay also on twitter i mean it's everywhere but i was just i don't know it kinda took me by surprise even though i'm i'm a lapsed catholic i you know was just a little surprised but this is funny from gt the next pope is here and he's american dot us this changes everything we thought we knew bitcoin is up the holy vibes are immaculate in this thread i'll break down 10 world shattering ships you need to understand to survive the next people regime that was obviously a joke playing off of all those fun threads you see over on twitter so but it was really funny the holy vibes are immaculate was my favorite part of this very very funny so holy vibes to the moon this also from linda linda's constantly working the new pope's brother talks about how they play wordle and wardle's friends to get his mind off things so how can we get the pope on here playing mini apps so linda's out recruiting the pope and his brother so they'll come play words on on parkade chicago in chicago is very happy like the titty the city and actually the person we've got a we've got a w there for the new pope from chicago this from cassie i don't know what's going on here but yes
it's american it's like the bald eagle
it's like the bald eagle bald eagle pope this was a thinker but very funny new new coke new pope i thought it was funny this was also a good one black smoke over the domino building in williamsburg indicates a new layer one blockchain has launched it's been launched very funny from boys club and then this from mcbain what's latin for fuck yeah i don't i don't think we say that i don't think the pope says fuck yeah maybe he does he's from chicago it's possible and this from murtaza personal announcement i've accepted a job offer in vatican city and will begin relocating there in the coming days surprise congratulations congratulations murtaza yeah so this was a little surprising that there was so much pope fun on my timeline but yeah interesting first american pope so there
you go i gotta believe it's i guess it's just because he's american so that's you know just i see but i thought the internet
was global
i thought i thought crypto was global and
i think that you wouldn't see as many means unless it had been pope pizzaballer
p pizzabala would have would have done numbers on memes no question in my mind that would have been really funny so i would have enjoyed that one i was hoping i was rooting for you just for the memes just for the memes sir but happy to see i was i didn't know anything about this particular cardinal before he became pope so i had to go do a quick quick little bit of research and we'll see what happens seems like he's a good guy
i watched the movie conclave on this perfect timing
great timing yeah many such cases
it had been on my list of like i should watch it and then you told me last week you were like oh you should watch it so
as
part of my post far con hangover when i was like in bed for two days venged out loved it it was great
yeah yeah it's just visually beautiful as well like in terms of like the visuals it's just gorgeous and stunning and so i really enjoyed it and it was very interesting it it's it's you know dramatized to be sure but also you know it based on a little bit of realness so i thought it was really good kind of the first by the way yeah the world's longest dao they've been around for a long time coming together decentralized all coming together voting on things together just saying maybe someday we put them on builder they can vote that way cast out should be a mini app that sounds like a lot of work
you know what that sounds like an opportunity for sohee to make us a mini app
right ahead
just to like demo base mini kit on a live stream and show us how easy it is and then we have it yeah
there we go so so i've thought about that but actually what we're doing through most of the challenges are using other mini apps and showing those off so do we really need our own
maybe okay yeah but that is for those who haven't seen castout before all the challenges are like forecaster specific things in the ecosystem so every challenge you're using i guess they're all mini apps now most of them are but it's like a super cool way to what we like to say is like give the devs a stress test we we you can load test your app if you wanna know and we'll help you break it it's it's really cool
and if you have something that you think would make a great challenge for cast out hit me up like today it has to happen today because we're very close to
i don't know what's going on
welcome back
thank you i haven't had something like that happen in a long time
so that's literally saw you freeze and i just immediately assumed it was me because i'm always the one who freezes so i was like i'll just wait until my internet comes back
i also assumed that and it was not
thank you chat yeah thank you chat for telling me i thought maybe there's a hurricane
i know i was like what's going on i thought yeah that was weird okay you're good
so let's see we're gonna wanna edit we're gonna wanna edit that out because
yeah yeah that was bad so sorry about that all alright let's move this along quickly before that happens again we have new dev we have a dev update dev calls are now also short video updates from vi so this is farcaster dev update may 7 reminder we're doing short video updates every week as an experiment if you have any questions or feedback please post so take a look at this if you are a dev that'll be useful this from dwr new experimental feature on warpcast web find people you follow on x twitter user control process you control i personally found 28 people i was following on x twitter but had not followed on farcaster instructions visit this url on web follow the instructions it will take you take at least twelve hours to get the export wow and be sure to upload the correct file so there you go if you want to see this seems like a little little complex but hopefully if you are looking for some other folks who making sure we're still live on on on twitter as well
we are
we're live okay good so you can find the people you follow on twitter this is especially good if you're brand new to farcaster and you wanna make sure that you are you're not missing any folks that you like to follow so there you go this also exciting news warped cast now supports up to ten minute videos coach holness has some thoughts i think you can do a lot of pull ups in a ten minute video
excuse me sir i i cannot do a lot of pull ups in a ten minute video
i don't think so
i can do the same number of pull ups in a twenty second video as i can in a ten minute video same
same it doesn't matter how short the video is it'll be the same but that's exciting okay but also so the problem is though we still wanna keep it till like five because how long are the shorts on youtube five minutes i think
oh right they used to be three
yeah no they're three minutes it was are they three now oh they used to be one now they're three
now it's three yeah
yeah so it's like we need to yeah be a little bit consistent this from dwr new on dcs on directcast expiring messages set one seven thirty day or even one year default is thirty days all directcast chats have a one year maximum retention previously announced so you now can set your own auto delete after a certain number of days or leave it to one year so i'll be leaving it to one year
because i am a digital hoarder this was the big news of the past couple days excited to announce an airdrop of monad test tokens testnet tokens 70 7 thousand farcaster accounts received an airdrop based on criteria like the number of verifications casting and engagement monad test token testnet tokens will allow you to use many apps on monad you can also send it to people on farcaster but you might wanna keep some for some of the mini apps coming soon so there was a lot of like confusion and what's what and what is this all about and there was an ama with the founder of monad of keone keone i know i'm saying that wrong he's kindly agreed to do an ama you can go take a look at this and this might be a helpful place to start if you want to learn more about monad
this also from sparks from jc wondering what to do with your shiny new monad test tokens fantasies top is one of my fave weekly monad apps rip packs put your fave yappers in your lineup and win prizes they just introduce clout where anyone can become a card and earn a percentage of trading fees if you're good enough yapper i don't know we're pretty good at yapping we might we may have to check this out this sounds like it's right up our alley i might have to put my yapper hat on hold on did you bring them
like is it are all your hats always in our assistance
of course of course do you
have that right
many of them
i have my yapper hat it's just too far away shout out
to you they're all sitting like a lot i have this pile of hats that are sitting very close by
anyways my referral blowed i'm happy to answer questions so if you want to know more about this particular thing go ask sparks our friend sparks this is a great point from apex i had no clue what monad was i'm sure half the the timeline didn't either but now we all know of it study farcaster distribution that was i think an incredible point because if you're gonna drop test tokens what better place because i mean you've got early adopters and a ton of devs ready to just build things like jc4b our friend here who built a monad on chain video app but you can't have it because many apps don't support camera input so it sucks for you but i think that he figured it out so there you go and then i love this you the monad airdrop is useless me did you guys know minnet can handle up to 200 kv of data in a single tx this unlocks so many use cases so i think that's really you know funny in terms of the approaches like so if you didn't know what to do with your tokens you just didn't try hard enough is is what it comes down to so there you go be be like jc four p and just go build stuff i do need to use some things and like try try some things out oh this also from say angel live view of me seeing the early on monad myths coming in generational wealth achieved on testnet
so yeah
and linda wow sayangel out here earning generational wealth on monad testnet
on testnet
on test net on test net but so fun like it's good to see people trying it out and actually using it
so he built he built the like just minted nft on monad app for one monad token or whatever it was so that that went viral because it's just like the easiest thing you can do right like everyone's familiar with mint action so like yep yay i gotta select the wall
smart very smart go go try some things build something go do the things speaking of building things this is from our friends at o'hara ai remixing is live take any app on on here on o'hara and turn it into something weirder cooler or just more fun great feature if you don't know where to start and even better feature if you do so if you haven't tried o'hara ai i highly recommend go test go check it out because it's really fun and it i used this in class with my students and it was their favorite thing we did all semester and they had a blast and some of them even did stuff after class and i cannot possibly express to you how often that never happens where they actually go above and beyond and do things on their own for fun that they learned in class almost never so that was cool so i think that's really fun and it's super easy so if you're not a dev or even if you are but i would say especially if you're not go go check it out it's really fun to play around with and do some vibe coding but even if you are deb you can see the code so it might be a good place to start if you're trying to figure something out and they're not quite sure because you can see lf code and then move it somewhere else if you wanted to this from apex and jack wilds this is a combo left in jfk right in laguardia someone must have lost a case in newark and so apparently jack wilds left his right airpod at laguardia and it turned out that apex left his at jfk so adrian if you want a set of airpods you just have a couple trips to make and also nobody lost a case at newark we only lost our sanity just letting you know like nobody lost their lost their case just our just our absolute shit that's what we lost at newark
if you live in new york you do everything you can to never go to the airports like obviously if you're flying but one we don't pick up our friends that happens in other cities like oh i'm flying in and your friend picks you up at the airport never we will never doesn't matter how many car we will never pick you up from the airport you can take an uber and or a train or walk but no one is doing that and i am and no one is going to the airport to find your airpods either
so there you go yeah
it's not out drop your seed phrase with a hundred bitcoin in there you're not going to the airport maybe i'd go but i'm not
it depends which one i'm not going to new york it's so funny my mom would never pick me up at logan either when i fly into boston and she'd make me take the logan express which is this bus that you take to braintree and then she'd pick me up at braintree and it was just like we argued about it every single time i'm like you can't just pick me up i'm just flying in i have a i have a two year old can you just no we're not doing any of this in freight train i'm like jeez lady you're killing me i always pick people up at the airport but it's easy that's why so yeah my mom was very much with you on this she would never have picked anybody at at the airport in new york either so this is from rabinowitz wt farcaster episode one what the fuck is monad i try to explain today's monad airdrop to baltav so i have not watched this yet tell me a little bit more about what they're what they're doing what they're planning
it is so good so it is it's it's not what the fuck it's what the farcaster what the farcaster so this is you have someone non crypto native
who asks questions about farcaster but who's on farcaster and rabinowitz will answer and they will not look up the like it it's i'm gonna answer as a expert and on farcaster so the question was wtf is monad and rabinowitz tried to answer and they did a great job answered it and then then looked it up to to verify ten minutes long and it's really good very watchable and highly recommend and i'm trying to convince them to put it on our network
alright
and and do more
that would be great do more do more we'd love it love to see it and that is baltob is who was helping at farcon right yeah is it okay i'm just making sure i've got the right person i didn't know her farcaster i just realized i didn't know her farcaster handle
yeah baltobaby did she call
herself balto baby balto baby okay
baby
alright alright we don't know we have to we we never know how to pronounce people's things yeah yeah yeah i was gonna call her by her by the actual name but i didn't know if i should oops i forgot
i mean i forgot
one pope thing leo leo is an s tier papal name forgot one whoops in memes a lot of lot of a lot of the manhattan crypto memes taking new taking new approaches there was a a mini app where you could see if you were brooklyn or manhattan i was manhattan shockingly but actually i'm jersey let's be honest i was i was born on the other side of the holland tunnel so there you go i think this is more me but this was really funny from tldr he did to be fair the the choice was between tim it's brooklyn crypto and this guy is manhattan crypto and tim got manhattan crypto which was really funny he didn't even get himself and then tldr wrote this keep in mind this is all tongue in cheek brackie has recently become aware of information concerning tldrs manhattan residents during his previous employment following these revelations tldrs decided to part ways with bracke effective immediately not real don't don't don't flip out we want to assure our community partners stakeholders that bracke's operations and assets remain unaffected by the situation this matter relates solely to activities that occurred prior to his involvement involvement with our organization our team is implementing an immediate transition plan to ensure continuity of all operations we remain fully committed to transparency integrity and delivering exceptional sports prediction experiences to our community we appreciate your continued support and trust during this time very funny and then okay
that's a that's a callback to proxy and clanker
yes
i did not see this one
yes it was it was a callback to that and it was very funny and then brackie actually responded and i don't think he quite got the joke but that's okay your strategic value to the network has been significant
this transition will be rising
strategic precision yes that was really funny tldr is not going anywhere and actually hopefully if all goes well we'll we'll be using brackey and castdev next week so get ready for that couple more things this from octon how can ethereum fund the infrastructure it relies on servicing what matters what principles outcomes or metrics should guide how funds are allocated what principles outcomes or metrics should guide how funds whoops i said that twice what does the ecosystem value a transparency dashboard aggregate ecosystem wide funding data track contributions across shared infra and ecosystem wide support commitment okta is closely aligned with this vision a scalable growth engine that roots capital and revenue using defi for ecosystem growth and ethereum as a whole sustainably so check out full post this is the roadmap for funding ethereum's open source infrastructure and great post from etherea ethersearch.ch it's hard to say that but ethersearch very cool and also from octant octant is for growth this is today we finally are sharing what we've been cooking at octant if you've met us irl in the past oops let me see if i can keep going a little bit met us irl in the past ten months you've probably heard us talk about deegens and dragons and octant v two we started octant to do some good we believe in an open internet in a world where let's see if this will open for me probably not because it went to x so this is going to be the new v2 of okton where the idea is that other organizations will be able to utilize their grant structure for their own using their funds and to hopefully get more funds out there being put to work and we're gonna see one not exactly like this but one version of this happening with farcaster's retro pdf round coming up shortly which and i forgot to grab the cast on this you can now donate to as well so if you you may have been seeing the cast around i believe tayab was the first one who shared it and you can donate to the round yourself and add to the pool of funds that will be distributed to those building on farcaster so very exciting and that round i believe is going to start shortly i'm not exactly sure what the date is on that but pretty soon they were just finalizing a few things speaking of grants this from little nouns have a powerful idea that could impact your local community esports is partnering with little nouns to fund heart driven ideas that make a real difference in your local community three winners 0.33 eth each $650 but i think it's more now so that's exciting apply now anyone can submit a proposal but only lil noun holders will be eligible to vote if you're interested in picking up a lil noun check out the details page so if you are a lil noun holder you'll be voting on this as part of the nouns gg round and anyone like anyone if you have an idea go go pop that in there very exciting
one last thing which oh wait a minute did this load this loaded so now i can actually show this
so let me finish this going back to okton so this was very cool to see we started to do some good we believe in an open internet in a world where open source projects thrive in ethereum winning in a world where funding models actually evolve a world where everybody wins our models been simple empower our community to make decisions reward our community for participating allocate funding to impactful projects and we match sometimes as high as 61 x from epoch zero to seven we've given over 2,513 eth in matching funds we've funded projects such as protocol guild eas and a whole long list and also gm broadcaster but that wasn't enough because supporting builders means more than just financially sending money so we've got so we got to work investing in grants research with meta gov projects partnering with builders and events like region regions unite and shelling point having real combos to understand what's needed running funding experiments to see what actually helps with shefi greenpild climateprog and farcaster and modular crypto and we launched our octon accelerator to support grantees and builders in becoming more sustainable 14 projects graduate real growth where builders learn from the best in our industry we really had the best of the best to name a few but the space shifted bearish cycles budgets cut growth slowed and became costlier so we went back to the drawing board we looked at our own model what if defi protocol revenue and other revenue streams could fuel growth for any ecosystem what if treasury capital didn't have to bleed just to fund grants so here it is introducing okton a growth engine that brings defi and powerful growth tools together generate sustainable yield allocate capital flexibly grow sustainably in the next few days we're going to share all the ways octon is cooking up this magic and we'll be bringing all of that to you and i'm really looking forward to learning more i know there's a lot of daos that have funds that could be put better to work and in a better fashion and keeping them more sustainable so i think this is gonna be a great tool for a lot of folks to dive into i'm glad i was able to open that because we're having a bit of a show today alright so one last thing anything you wanna note on the octant news or anything like that okay also we've i forgot to sponsor the dgins and dragons this week i have to go back in and and do that really quick and make sure i mint it i've been a little off since this farcon stuff threw me off threw me off my game one last thing that's just for your amusement this from imessage is the absolute worst messaging app don't at me which was responded by dan as spoken like a green bubble and taking it one step further antimo thank you so much for this oh now it's not gonna load you've got to be kidding me this was funny imessage is the absolute worst messaging app don't at me so now we know v is a green bubble and it all makes sense so that's it oh man this is kind of a rough one today a little little rough moment there i haven't had i haven't had many technical issues in a in a while it's been a minute so yeah yeah so thanks for hanging in there folks sorry about that if you're watching on the recording hopefully we've just cut all of that out and and you don't know what we're talking about yeah but thank you for hanging in there and have to just share one more time make sure nobody forgets at 11:30 we're doing a watch party for the big shift which was the fireside chat with dan romero and fred wilson and it is so good it's really really good you're gonna love it and i'm really excited to share that with you and we'll be in the chat talking about all the things so if you even if you were there i'd say jump in the chat rewatch it relive it and share sort of your your takes on it yeah
