I had the embarrassing experience of having to tell my accountant that my only crypto transaction last year was receiving FARTCOIN

Is this the intersection of art and technology?

How to charge for your mini app 1. Focus on getting people to use it 2. Then focus on getting people to add it 3. Send them notifications 4. If you can get them to come back 3x and do your primary thing, consider upselling 5. Most basic version of payment: become a supporter 6. Other ideas: more content / features, mint collectibles, early access, group chat access for power users

i only got one trader am i cooked?

The Sorting Hat has spoken... I'm 2% Slytherin and 100%

Just built a Sorting Hat mini app. Which house are you? https://sorting-hat-alpha.vercel.app 🎩

@ponder just had the biggest payout of all times. 30X. You may be wondering how. Our anti collusion algo identified a pool of users who have voted together a statistically extremely unlikely portion of the time. Their votes were diminished in weight while they attempted to vote with large entries. TL;DR - algo working as intended. Big payouts for those who got it right.

minted! looking forward to the game!

Going on TBPN for the first time on May 28th for their first crypto show!

@matchaxyz did it! And thank you for the shirt! (but what am I going to do now?) Seriously tho, thank you matcha for giving limit orders to the masses.

It's been fun co-hosting mini app workshops with Farcaster community members (I'm basically a sidekick to the devs :P) - workshop for Farcaster builders with @samuellhuber.eth @rish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqHFH9kPpbE&feature=youtu.be - workshop for Monad builders with @limone.eth https://x.com/monad_dev/status/1921951930894459120 - workshop for FWB builders with @veganbeef (just wrapped up, recording not public yet)

Priorities this week 1. Mini apps / wallet — auth addresses, improved transaction previews, bug fixes, support for additional ecosystems, bug fixes 2. Onboarding — improvements to sign up flow, new user experience, algorithm, spam labels, performance improvements and bug fixes 3. Protocol — improvements to Snapchain We have a few big initiatives that will likely ship next week. So a lot of this week if prepping for that.

“How can we apply our learnings from running Octant for 2 years to help other Ethereum-aligned ecosystems grow? … Putting together capital formation tools like DeFi and capital allocation mechanisms like quadratic funding, we can seamlessly grow any ecosystem.” @nicnode Nico dropped these nuggets while breaking down how we’re combining capital formation tools (DeFi) with allocation mechanisms (like QF) to unlock sustainable, self-funding ecosystems. Greeting from CryptoCanal.twitter ETHDam 🧀

gm, we just dropped the first of many Octant v2 posts: "Degens, Dragons, and Ethereum Alignment in Action 0.10" This is the kickoff with more coming over the next few weeks Published as an X post here: https://x.com/OctantApp/status/1920569278207598803

“Farcaster is just an Ethereum echo chamber” - people on the angry app Meanwhile an airdrop of testnet tokens, let me repeat, TESTNET tokens, got way more attention here than Pectra

That’s because conferences like token2049 have no soul where the average person you meet is there for BD Farcon is the opposite
