got out at some i forget what i forgot what even question got me out i felt like it wasn't totally no fair for me to i got out before then
okay oh okay that's funny yeah well yeah it really wasn't you couldn't win but you could play i was playing just to be in the chat i yeah
i really like by the way some of the early questions which i know i helped write really reminded me of like the who wants to be a millionaire style like they were such gimmies and why were people getting them wrong ted and woj yeah are not the founders of farcaster unless it was like the ponder prediction poll where they thought we were joking or they just don't know
like no like how do you not know that if you really think ted and woj are the founders of farcaster we're not doing our jobs like it's just that's not good but it was really fun and i'm chatting with the farcaster trivia team the fc trivia team about doing a regular gm farcaster trivia so we're working on that we're gonna pull together some sponsors we're gonna try and make it free to play for at least our hyper sub as well as you know maybe like the first 100 people who who join or something like that so we're working on all that we'll have more very soon as soon as i have a minute to breathe so i loved it i had so much fun but i was like you know this would be perfect we could just go and talk about here's what we talked about in the past week here are questions from gm farcon oh past week there you go
yeah do your homework no it'll be easy if you're here every day like it's gonna be a piece of cake for like merryam yes to crypto meta dave the people who are here every day they have a little advantage they can win some money i mean right
exactly
one too many oh by the way did you pull that link
there was there was a new dick butt meta anyway back to cast out real quick so we had farcaster trivia super fun loved it and our winners were kylepatrick and of course i do not have it where the heck did it go totally lost that one but it was kyle pat there it is kylepatrick and icetoady both from the purple tribe which saved me from trying to come up with a tiebreaker so i was like oh i don't have to even think about this fantastic so the purple tribe was immune you could vote for any of the other tribes and you know what's really funny there was a tribe i will not name them the the vote before who said we should try and get out purple because they're gonna be really good at farcaster trivia and you were right you were very right they were as they should be this was theirs to lose so congratulations purple and kylepatrick and icetoadyhawk split 50 k degen as the prize anyone could have won that you did not have to be playing cast out to win but if you're from purple you probably were very likely to win even if you were not playing so fantastic that was a lot of fun so now they have another vote that they needed to do so we're gonna do a vote reveal real quick but before that let me just share whoops let me remove that let me go do this this is when i'm i'm just got too many things happening alright why is this no no no not that this it will not show me the thing i want there we go just a quick shout out to our cast out sponsors lil nouns dow that's why it is cast out lil island and there is a little island couple little islands that will be given out as prizes so coming soon oktent thank you so much to oktent and we had questions for all of these sponsors in the farcaster trivia and we're gonna do the same if we start up a regular farcaster trivia where if you're sponsoring you'll have a question mixed in there and purple so you know i'm glad to see them win we like our sponsors to still be in the in the game degen also has been a reward sponsor as you saw with farcaster trivia yesterday and thank you to all of the sponsors of cast out we appreciate you so here's what's happening next is the vote so let's dive into it sorry to see whoever goes this was an interesting vote and here's what i found out yesterday on two different tribes there are biological sisters i did not know this and i'm watching the votes going in and i'm like oh my god one of these sisters might be voting out one of the sisters right now so that was kind of interesting little piece of drama that if we were doing a real reality show that storyline would have played out yeah
oh yeah i didn't even i had no idea and i was like oh this is thanks interesting so let's dive into it here are our votes first vote is the d v tribe our second vote is maya third vote is little sock gang who by the way has used their immunity idol they have a hidden immunity idol they are using it for this round so after this round they no longer have an immunity idle so this vote does not count so in other words if little sock gang wins they still stay in the game so this vote does not count good news has one vote so right now we have one for d v one for maya one for good news one for little sock gang that does not count so we are currently tied one one one and we have another one for d v two for d v one for maya one for good news and one last one for d v and i'm so sorry to say that the d v tribe has been voted out i cannot reveal whether your sister was one of the people who voted you out you'll have to ask them but i'm very sorry to see you go d g a degen veteran zwillow janica the dude and offline you have been eliminated from the game i'm sorry you guys have been great to play with and thank you for playing
sorry to see you go i'm sorry to well but it's been fun today what's happening is i'm sorry yeah today what's happening is there's no challenge today but what's happening over the weekend we have confessional time so what this means is the individual players regardless of whether they are still in the game so as long as they were a player for this season they can do a confessional and have a chance to win a part of a 150,000 degen plus some bonus prizes for the top three including a lil noun which is a lil island so there's an opportunity to win that if you come in first and we'll also have some d v some degen going out to all of you a 150,000 degen is in this prize pool it'll be split based on likes and the people who are voting for the winners whose likes count in this round are those who are holding degen when i set the round up so not moving forward but who set the when i set the round up so if you're holding degen in your warplet and yes to crypto i know you are i saw you on that list there's a few other people if you played cast out previously you have some degen in your wallet so you may be in this as well so if you have some cast out token your votes aka your likes do count for this round that includes you adrienne alright so here's what you're gonna do you're gonna do a reality show style confessional so cast out little island players create a reality show confessional style video use your creativity and tell us what's been your favorite part of cast out what's been your least favorite how's your tribe behind the scenes give us some tea which tribe do you wanna see eliminated next any regrets or whatever's on your mind you don't have to do all of those things those are just suggested prompts you can do a walk and talk get creative some have some fun with it if you're a non be creative you don't have to show us your face you can you can find ways if there's some non english speakers who are in the mix and my suggestion to them is do it in your native language and just add some subtitles like don't make it more difficult on yourself so very excited to see what you guys come up with there's like i said a 150,000 degen bonus prizes for the top three and this is only open to this season's cast out players so both active and already eliminated the round starts at 11am and runs for three days throughout the weekend totally optional has nothing to do with tribe immunity so have some fun and enjoy yeah so you had fun with this when we did it in your season
lord help me okay i heard my name in two
oh my god
the way you described the round made it imply that there's people who don't have degen in their warplet
no cast out cast out not degen
token degen is what they're winning the
sorry cast out token
cast out token cast out token so if you're a previous player if you're holding some cast out token in your in your connected wallet you get to vote in this round okay so apologies we're having a we're having a bit of an issue today it's it's a bit of a day been a bit of a day
no one likes to record actually maybe some people do but you know most people do not like recording themselves speaking and and sharing it but it was worth it and fun and don't take it too seriously and you're lucky because the meta these days is walk and talks everyone's loving it so just sneak sneak it in there
and you could even if you tag the at walk and talk it will be added to the little mini app as well so there you go yes
yes the toadyhawk i'll be referring to him as that the toadyhawk and i should double check and make sure
he is if you're doing confessionals tag me when you post if you or dm make sure you dm them so we make sure we see them
we'll i'll see them i'll be looking in the cast out channel oh no the audios are out is anyone else having audio issues if you're not hearing us which that wouldn't make any sense we should probably type that
like if you can't hear us oh lord
yeah raise your hand if you can't hear if you can hear us because we're just asking you on audio which is not helpful at all
after exiting and coming back and that's a u so i don't know if you're in youtube exit come back
maybe maybe it's a youtube issue today we're everyone's having technical issues today us included alright
adrienne when i was pulling the links so i yesterday there was an issue with snapchain that varun posted about and then casted a analysis it was back there was amps went down for a little bit neynar yeah had an neynar had an issue like and i did not pull any of those in the news because i don't wanna focus on things that are going wrong
this is what happened when i have adrienne pulling she's like we're only doing good stuff i'm not gonna focus on anything negative it's happy friday it's not everything that went down yesterday friday
well it's no it's just we happen to have our own technical issues this morning you didn't have volume my camera went out like it's
there's something there is there like one of those elect is it one of those things where like the sun starts shooting off weird rays or something
don't know
what's going on or the the ais are getting closer to singularity shall we cover some forecaster news before toady gets here

yeah of kyle does a great job with this this is something for some weird reason i never played farmville over on facebook but for some reason i like farville it's just this it's almost like a meditation at this point where it's just something i do in the morning something i do at night and it has this really chill chill music which if you play often you probably hear it in your head right now uh-huh when i said that so it's like just this little i like go in and i do and i'm like whatever and i'm not paying attention to leaderboards or you know i'm just doing my little thing and i get my cross it's very like yeah very fun
i'll sport i'll sport the gaming tops but i don't i'm honest i'm not super i did i am playing dx terminal and speaking of
met speaking of nice meditative music every time i open d x terminal i'm like where's the mute button
okay i muted it immediately
by the way have you seen our ad hold on i gotta i gotta show this really quick have you seen the ad this is dx terminal by the way if you haven't seen it yet and if you look in the there's banner fake banner there were banner ads made in eighties and nineties kind of vibe within the dx terminal so on that bottom left you will see rotating banner ads and that is our gm farcaster one i pulled the eighties version that we had and then just added gm farcaster over one of the things and it links over to us yeah isn't that hilarious
zero we're paying zero thank you thank you to dx terminal team appreciate you very much
confession i can't get dx terminal to work in my browser only my mobile app so i can't see this view
like i i really can't play i can't get my traders to trade
them on our app yeah you do have to do it on desktop it does not work properly in mobile i don't think so
yeah walletconnect
let's get back to farcaster news toady hawk is in the green room we see you there toady and by the way zero rights also has a banner ad in dx terminal
so i love it and it's really cute i'm so happy you pointed that out to me because i did not know and i love our ad you fucked
i love our i love our ad it's so funny alright continue on
on to friday news dwr farcaster team is cooking with gas right now in the next seven days one warpcast to farcaster rebrand two auth addresses no more open warpcast on mobile in mini apps three spinning up a few targeted cohorts for creator onboarding
it's kinda what they've been doing it's kinda what ted's been doing by onboarding a group of journalists onboarding yeah so it'll be curious to see where who else she's targeting interesting
five what does that mean i wonder
that mean
i think it's just imagining supporting different chains layer twos commute like okay platforms like in interoperability and integration in warplet like what got it i still think there's the farcaster equals base perception
yeah
when you use farcaster it really doesn't matter i when we're doing this trivia questions like does it matter what chain farcaster's on does it matter when yeah when within farcaster you can kind of inter integrate and interrupt five another confirmed airdrop
six making progress on a big new thing should be in quotes hopefully can share next week what does everybody think that is
by the way if you could maybe reach out to dwr and see if he wants to come announce the big new thing yeah on here like that would be great that'd be fabulous
awesome alright amazing yeah alright let's speed run speed run a few more things
okay heads up and i i i'm sure everyone saw this yesterday if you're already following the farcaster account you'll see farcaster casted for the first time in a while but they're gonna start doing more announcements from the official farcaster account so go follow that or just yesterday
or just come here if you just come here three times a week you'll you'll see it anyway
if you're more of a listener okay yesterday walletconnect airdrop for farcaster users is live check your mobile app to see if you're eligible so this was the wct airdrop prof did you get an airdrop
i did and i didn't think i did and then i just found it hiding it's because my my notifications were just a shit show and it was there
i staked yep i staked it's there the airdrop flows are really just so good so good i love i love what they're doing with that it's been a pretty
busy connected it's not just here's your money it's here you click it triggers a the mini app opening which then the the airdrop developers whoever you know can kind of now that they have your attention get you to do something so right
which is great and by the way if you're watching this on twitter and you're not on warpcast here's just one more reason why you should be sorry i'm farcaster here's one reason why you should be so there you go
yeah and then and and then of course the when there's free money why why didn't i get any free money also yeah don't do it for the money but it's you know they're this is not generational wealth you're getting from these airdrops but more accent but
they're using public data from protocol they're sharing in this information with projects and the team so it's not even the warpcast team making the decision of who's getting it they're deciding right airdrop teams are deciding how many people how much to offer
if you wanna increase your likelihood for future airdrops completing verifications so that's the connecting twitter your github fund your wallet use farcaster daily use warpcast daily so they're checking that be active use mini apps do transactions at least once a week more and better using your warplet then it can pop
into i'm sorry you multiple times a day is that what i heard no oh okay
proof of work farcaster requires proof of work we've been saying that for a year and a half there you go year and a half maybe more i don't know where are we at almost two
i guess shout shout out to the team for who's been working on the airdrop flow slow block blockheim piros b 3 and horsefacts
i'm never saying it that way i'm always saying daniel by the way yeah again like the flow is so good so really appreciate the effort that they're doing there it's just a whole different type of airdrop experience than anywhere else for sure
yeah i i won't go too much into this this is just from cameron i've been in crypto for four years and i have no idea what this means and it's congrats wallet connector you claimed 14.5 wct starts taking your tokens to pave the way for a
there was a lot of discussion around the the comms on this that you know the the flow was great everything was great you know love love the staking app was well done but there was no discussion around that part of it and yeah that was so that was one area where if you are doing an airdrop and you want to communicate such things we're here for you we'll we'll
do with that
before this have slid into dan's dms to say that the merkle team should when they're coordinating with teams combine it that like yeah if you're doing an airdrop just combine it with a gm farcaster appearance like come on for ten minutes and tell us about your airdrop and why you're doing it and we'll help get that message across
yep then we'll clip it and and ship it out to everybody as well yeah so there you go
alright what else give us like a few more things and let's bring up the fabulous toady
by the way we we started a little late we had some technical difficulties so just bear with us we see you down there
i think we'll just cover the rebrand as the only last big news warpcast is being rebranded to farcaster the mobile app will be called farcaster again again the arch logo will return the website will move from warpcast.com to farcaster.xyz all links will be backwards compatible no action needed and we'll roll out this week depending on app store reviews and you may expect some the like the the linking is very difficult to do we saw this when twitter rebranded to x people are you know in terms of things breaking so oh yeah expected side effects some users may be logged out on web some things may be a little glitchy so just hang in there and
did you have some of the yeah the rebrand ones were funny that was great with the this '20 yeah 2022 to back back to it and we're back and we we're back to the arts
goodbye w hello
and i loved some of the takes on this we're really funny by the way you guys have never seen this logo i think adrienne and i and a couple other folks who've been in our discord have seen this logo because i never used it publicly i didn't i didn't love it and i was like this isn't right this isn't the right feel but i just the first thing i created was the discord before we did anything else so that was really funny to me so there you go yeah i've seen it
i i am excited great yeah i am one of those like i like having a little air between the protocol and the apps like i like that there's a distinction not that i care that much about farcaster versus warpcast or whatever like for sure oh by the way at farcon i'm talking to people who are on farcaster on warpcast they are not at farcon the main the summit but at the side events and they kept asking me what is warpcast what is warpcast what is farcaster like they already have accounts and they have no idea so
like crazy
yeah messaging has to simplify if you wanna reach people so i'm all for it but i'm super excited for the arch because if you remember like few years ago every time people i mean it's like mcdonald's right every time people would see arches in in the wild you can post public so they're just way more memetic and brandy so
absolutely yeah the w the w never caught on warps did like warp things like yeah warplet warp things by the way i am so mookie my dog is so in favor of this he is also a dachshund and he is very much in favor of the dachshund arch bert yeah we like this
definitely in favor of this speaking of memetic crazy things and i also liked it with pants yes
how does the number two just the just the bottom half the front half doesn't have to be covered you know
yeah exactly gotta put a shirt on the top half yeah we need we need some we need some we need the yes to crypto shirt on the top half
i think we did do we have anything else that is pressing oh yeah this improved transaction previews always helpful to see what you're transacting so always useful love these little little tips adrienne do a quick scan anything else before we bring up the toadyhawk the hold on i gotta pull that so you can see that yeah anything else that we we missed
v toady hawk
v toady hawk from v emily alright you ready should we bring them up we good alright let's bring them up to talk about betterment and i'm very excited you know what i need to do though i need to change my background because i had a different virtual background for this moment so alright one second i gotta switch it out here we go
thank god you guys didn't go with gm warpcaster right
exactly
close call
because we yeah close call i i said that i was like the first thing i'm like really glad we went with gm farcaster and not gm warpcast you you knew yeah i had a feeling
i had a feeling adrienne for comms come on
exactly exactly yeah so let's talk about betterment and also did you have any thoughts on the you should come on gm farcaster when you have an airdrop coming
yeah i thought that was very slick yeah and i guess i'm the first i guess i'm the first in that i'm the first in that flow alpha
alpha there you go
we we may or may not be i mean i have no idea if dwr is talking about us or not probably not but we are one of the airdrops that's slated for very soon so
i'm sure he's talking about you absolutely so let's talk about what betrmint is first and then we'll dive into all things all the airdrops and all the things let me throw this up real quick so we kinda see what you guys have been cooking if you go
to if you need a demo by the way you can go to betterment.fund/demo now and it actually gives you a demo version of the game even if there's not one running so that's kinda
oh cool i will do that we can definitely do that let me do that and that will probably be a better approach let me go grab that it was betrmint what
so betrmint betrmint.fun/demo and that should bring you to a demo of a recent round where you can mint for free it's not real though
it's not real you get nothing aw
you get nothing and you will be happy matching cheers wait that's what we're doing photo ready cheers
cheers adrienne do have a mock handy by any chance
oh ouch
yeah that's so funny
alright adrienne is like my wife when i'm trying to get all my kids to look at the camera and i finally get them all and then she's looking somewhere else i'm like look at
the world come on
hey bill
that's fair
it is such a
i'm telling you we're having a bit we're having a bit of a day no lights oh god jeez yeah we're having a bit of a day here we've had a lot of technical difficulties we're we're thinking maybe there's some kind of thing some kind of thing happening
sound in you gotta have the sound for this
oh shoot let me yeah hold on one second let me that's a good point hold on we're gonna do this a little differently then i have to share it differently that's all
i feel bad because emily emily junior was just like chomping at the bit for this segment so i really wanna get into it for him
i know i know
i saw he posted the chat on warpcast he was like trolling me
oops let me go to the big one actually that's better this is super fun i really loved let me make sure the sound is on okay so what you do is you mint spin and win so talk about a little bit about the flow and then i'll show it so what what is the
whole concept there tl the tldr on betterment so basically if you've heard of and i'm i know you guys have because you've used them like there's these protocols like boost x y z and layer three that have done a lot of innovation in the space with regards to being able to use meme coins put them into a contract or other tokens any token really put them into a contract and use them to incentivize certain behaviors that you want your collectors to take so often that might you know that might mean just putting a bunch of degen for example in a pool so that when people collect your your pod on pods.media they automatically get an 80% back back credit essentially in the meme coin so we we've experimented a lot with this we learned a lot about this strategy from from adam levy actually in the blueprint blueprint content accelerator which highly recommend any creators who are trying to figure out how to how to you know make revenue on chain apply for their next cohort we were part of cohort two and it was really educational and and adam has a lot of really interesting and awesome ideas about how to do that so took a lot of what we learned there we were using it we had a couple a couple protocols and projects sponsors zero rights our our media org to make content and and that was working really well but i i one thing i noticed is that it doesn't really get people excited and you know if you have distribution which i'm lucky enough and you guys are lucky enough to have distribution on farcaster you can put up a boost and then you can tell your audience hey check this out and go claim it but if you're a small creator and you don't have an audience or you're just starting out you could put a boost up on on your pod and actually it'll just sit there because nobody knows it's there it's like a tree falling in the woods so there's this problem of like no baked in distribution essentially for some of these mechanisms and then the other thing too is that there's like there's no urgency there's no like temporal element to it there's no reason why you need to go and claim this right now so i was like well what could we do to kinda bring those two elements into the picture and that's where the idea for betrmint came from i was inspired a lot by warp slot and some of the other mini apps that i really love playing in fact a little bit of lore on this is that when i first had the idea i reached out to colin from warp slot was like hey like what do you think about adding this to the you know to to your app and as we started talking i'm like no i'm just gonna like complicate your very simple app and so
it's very simple like game gamified thing
yeah and and i mean we're trying to keep ours simple too but like warpcast is like just beautifully simple you show up you spin you
win it's great
so i started talking with net net nouns who's a friend of mine from the yellow collective shout out yellow and he's like well let's just build this and we've been wanting to build something for a while so i've been telling people that that we vibe coded this this app and i'm gonna keep using this joke until people tell me it's not funny anymore which could be today but i brought i brought the vibe and netnose brought the code and yeah we made made this this little app
it's it's a smart app it's a premium combo
yeah so basically you show up as you can see here on the screen you show up one thing to to mention is that we're only doing this like every other day right now so if you're familiar with how like salvino's been doing yapster the the solana meme coin game where basically they they run a game and then they sit back and like say okay what broke what didn't what worked what didn't iterate get feedback and then come back when they're ready so we've been doing it basically every other day monday wednesday friday just to sort of do do that so you have to install the mini app which you can do at betterment.fun excuse me go on farcaster of course and then install the mini app and then you'll get a notification when the game goes live the next one's today today at 3.3pm est so that's
a little bit of alpha for you
mhmm you pop in when the game is live
and this is what you'll see this demo that
you see on the screen here you'll see the featured content of the day yesterday last game was startup radar by jeff x y z you you mint it and then you get as many tickets as as the additions that you minted so if you mint one addition you get one ticket if you mint a 100 additions you get a 100 tickets and then you can just spin this fun wheel it's too bad oh there the sound is working
i've x there you go
woo hoo that's a lot of dick butt that is a lot of dick butt
by the way i have to give a shout out to dick people love the dick butt apparently it was our fastest round ever so basically the rounds go for two hours or until the prize pool is gone and typically they've been running like forty five minutes or so and the dick butt was all gone in like twenty two minutes
it was insane like people just
they wanted it they wanted it bad so but yeah so it's very very simple mechanism you go you collect mean the main thing is you're collecting content you're supporting a creator and then you just get a little instead of just getting an 80% back bonus like you would on on pods you get a little bit of dopamine rush you get to spin a wheel maybe you'll get nothing maybe you'll get one x two x five x even a 100 x back your your meme coin so it just kinda adds that little thrill i've been calling it kinda like a content casino vibe and it seems to be working people seem to really like it we've had over over 5,500 installs in a week on the on the app
that's great
almost almost all of them have notifications on which is kind of a byproduct of the the way the app works because if you don't have notice on you won't you won't
be to see
when the game is feedback's pretty good we've been taking feedback changing changing things adding things we just introduced a leaderboard actually this week which people were asking for
lot so you know of course our our friend yes to crypto is climbing up that leaderboard as as he always does so yeah you could you could basically earn
i pulled some of your some of your images and one of them i pulled was the leaderboard
oh nice
matter of fact
very cool oh yeah with yes to crypto no less yeah
that's awesome yeah that's why i pulled it that's exactly why i pulled it i'm like i saw his name up there and i'm like oh i gotta pull this really quick yeah so i forgot i did that actually i was like oh that's alright i have that yeah so yeah i love i love the whole concept i think it's great i think it's a great way to get additional distribution as well we did this with our episode with dwr it was like the second one you did it's sort of like you know in the beta in the beta week if you will yeah and it you know got a whole bunch new mints that we wouldn't have gotten otherwise a couple thousand i think it was it was something crazy so and it also then you know sort of revives that content again which was you know pretty evergreen when you're when you're doing an interview with dan so it's it wasn't like you know it's not like it's stale so it was it was very cool
most of the content producers we've been partnering with have been doing new content but i i like that we tried doing a bit of an older piece for you guys because i think that is a a good opportunity is to sort of resurface and and revive old stuff because we've talked about this a little bit at farcon professor like i'm coming around to the notion that a lot of this on chain minting behavior when it comes to content is more about token tokenizing the attention around the content rather than tokenizing the content itself so in a way it's kind of like you know running an ad on a youtube video that you that you did five months ago that's that's evergreen to resurface it for new eyeballs doing something like betterment you get it in front of you know all these people and and some of them they all collect it and you know i used to say like when people are collecting your content it's kinda like you know if they if they watch your youtube the worst they can do is get is leave you a bad comment but they you know and then leave but if they collect your content they have to look at your content in their wallet forever like they have to send it to they have to send it to zora's bed if they wanna get rid of you
it's a little harder if you really wanna get rid of it you're gonna have to work for it yeah you're gonna have to do some work and we did have a great chat with you and rachel at farcon we're still waiting on that content it's been two weeks and i'm i'm losing it we've gotten just a few parts of it but we haven't gotten everything yet and we don't have any of the interviews that we did so we're just waiting on that hoping we saw some more starting to come in today so fingers crossed
when it's ready let's
let's to come in let's put it on betterment if if you wanna we definitely should do that
next week
that would be amazing
what was
very i'd love to when you're when you have a slot open i'd love to put the fred wilson one on there because i think that would be a fun one to put out there and get a little more traction on so that's cool
what what was your experience like as a creator using the app
i think it's fantastic like it gave this boost to again this content that we haven't you know that we got some additional eyes on so i think that to me is one of the biggest benefits from the creator perspective is you're getting additional eyeballs not only on your content but maybe even on your podcast itself like these might be people who don't even know who you are because for whatever reason probably not us but others
the time said there's people who didn't know what warpcast was at farcon so surely
welcome back so there you know there's but that i think is a huge benefit because it's constant not struggle but it's a challenge there's a lot of content out there we're in a smaller niche but there's still a lot you're competing with in general so you're always trying to grab that attention and any way that you can help with that i think is a benefit to the creator for sure and in terms of the app itself it's beautiful it's beautifully done like it has a great flow i really like it and i just like the vibe of it i think it's fun it just makes it very fun it's very like eighties vegas casino vibe
that's what i was going for for sure
i did the
did the ux so keep keep talking i love it no but i
i do that's the you know and it's it's fun it's just fun i think anytime that you wrap things in a in a box of fun as we used to say it's it makes it that much better so big shout
out netnose though my my partner on this like he's just been amazing doing this like while doing a a a day job as well and like making sure that everything
is done on plan
so thank you netnose if you're if you're watching we love you one thing i was gonna say is i i casted to what you were just speaking about before this i i casted out yesterday about how it can be hard if you're not an on chain creator to understand what it feels like to suddenly have like a thousand of your thing minted and like make $300 in twenty minutes like it's it's doesn't happen really and i'm not trying to pat it off on the back but if you can create a moment like that that that creates this like feeling of support for a creator it's actually pretty powerful and that's one of that's one of my favorite things so far is like we run these rounds and then like it's it's literally leaving creators kind of like dizzy almost because like we we did one with late night on base shout out bill and it was over and i was like he's like so do i promote this on socials i'm like bro it's over like it's
too late mean we we do promote we do promote the contract for like
twenty four hours before and after the round but like the round itself went so fast that he didn't even have time to to to tweet about it during the round and he was like oh he's like i don't see any money in my wallet i'm like yeah i mean the the split hasn't processed but like you made $300 he's like holy shit like you can send the shop
wait what
that might take like a week or a month for a creator usually on a piece or ever like sometimes you're you're kinda
on web two especially i mean if you're only doing things on web two it's
i'm just comparing it to web three but yeah on web two it's completely other story you'd need millions of i mean rachel talks about this in the interview that you're gonna release about how she had a podcast for years that had millions of downloads and and really had struggled to monetize it in any meaningful way you know
yeah i mean and and you can that happens all over the place where you have hundreds of thousands millions of followers you really have to hit a whole different level to be able to monetize this type of media so it's and we've been able to do it like within a month and a half of launching because we're on farcaster yeah and be able to you know and build that as we go we're still not at a point where i feel like we're sustainable in any way shape or form but it's been you know it's been very a pleasant surprise to be able to tap into all these different web three aspects that can definitely provide some revenue where other folks who are creating content aren't seeing that if they're only doing it in web two so you know
by way that virtual background goes so hard i'm gonna have to use that
does it didn't have any virtual
backgrounds but that that one's pretty good
it's pretty good i like it was like
i had joining us from the casino floor right now
right i had it i had i first was gonna use this one as my background and then as soon as i pull found this i'm like oh no no this is the one this is this is beautiful as a background it's great it's a little giblified version which you know hey toady how many days do we have left now before your unlock before your giblify unlock
oh yeah i forgot about that
it's like i don't know i think we might be closing in on two hundred and something i don't know you you left days left for you know for those who don't know what we're talking about i i launched a clanker on something that toady set toady had giblified the the you know the leo dicaprio leonardo dicaprio moment of like this and it it said give it said clank clanker and i i clanked it while he was doing something else it popped off and i had done a lockup which i thought was thirty days and it was three hundred sixty five days of 10% of the 10% of it for him and it it was just it just a hilarious you know comedy of errors
i mean it is my retirement plan so please
let's hope yourselves accordingly reminding me i have to go i have to go burn some more because i have way too much and i'm never gonna sell it so it's like i just need to go burn it which i'm gonna use empire for if you haven't checked out empire go check it out
it's i am learning about i'm learning about empire your berserker sent me a bunch of information i'm taking it all in it's it's very cool so
yeah it's very cool i have to do more with it i need to go do some more with it for the cast out token because you mentioned warp slot
cast out is gonna be in warp slot i think today so you can win some cast out token in warp slot today we should get some cast i was gonna launch a new one this this season and i decided not to at the last minute
just because i figured we'll just keep the cast out token for now but maybe next time we'll we'll do another one just to
the nice thing about tokens is you can always kinda revive the attention around them right
exactly do a a new deploy that one has a weird mechanism where i don't own enough of it to be able to give it away so because it was an early clanker very early so it doesn't have as many of the bells and whistles of the later clankers so that's the only reason i would
what you should have done is bought a bunch of the supply when when no one was looking
i did and i keep doing that when nobody's looking but it still has a much higher price than it's it's much higher than the usual early clanker i'll just put it that way so that's why because it is a smaller supply
speaking of tokens can i talk a little bit about what we've done with
our yes this is what i was this is what i was gonna queue you up for what's going what's coming next here we go here's the here's the alpha let's let's do it
you you can't build an app on farcaster without clanking a project coin right is that a rule no
i'm just i think it's a rule i'm pretty sure it's a rule
you can but it but it's it's fun to experiment with that and it's fun to bootstrap attention bootstrap liquidity using you know the the interesting inter on chain native tools that we have at our disposal so we did clank dollar sign better b e t r as part of our our deploy for betterment and we did something a little bit different so i i think someone could correct me in the chat if i'm wrong but i think we're the that we we've basically reserved the largest percentage of the supply for community rewards so fully 50% of the supply right off the top was put aside for airdrops in community and actually that wasn't even fully possible with clanker the way it it worked the most you can vault is 30% so we put 30% in a vault for sixty days and then we had to take our own money and do a dev buy essentially for the other 20% we locked up essentially 50% of the supply and that's being used for a couple different airdrops and then also for prizes in the app to kinda bootstrap bootstrap the prizes and whatnot so that's kind of interesting definitely means that like the the actual circulating market cap is much smaller than what it actually appears when you're looking at on on dexter and whatnot and i just like i think that's a very farcaster native thing to do like that's how degen
i love that
yeah degen degen put a huge percentage of its circulating supply locked up and used it to reward people who were using farcaster and who were being degens and so big big inspiration from yasek and what they did with that and lots of other tokens after that have sort of mimicked what their success so that's one thing we've done with that people have asked a lot of course when moon when when utility so i i do wanna talk a little bit about that the main utility of the token of course as with many project tokens on farcaster like clanker like bankr like checkr like clanker and lots of these the the main utility is like it's a bet on on the builder and and what they're building it's like i said a token tokenization of the attention around the project but we do have some interesting plans to incorporate and use the token in a way that doesn't make the app more difficult to use we do want the app to be like super low barrier to entry that's like a positive feedback we've gotten a lot so you can just pop in the app and for a dollar and a bit you can play and it's something fun you can do almost every day so we don't wanna make that more difficult by saying for example you have to hold this much better or you have to use better to to use the app
oh that's good yeah
because i mean the the the token is sort of like in service of the of the app not the other way around and so if the app is not usable or fun then it doesn't really matter but having said that though some ideas that we are going to be implementing is potentially skins so that's one thing we're working on where if you have a certain amount of better you'll get certain skins in the app which i i don't think any mini app has done before so we're looking into into that
that's fun
also because the games the games have been going so fast one thing this will probably be the first token utility that we introduced is i think you're gonna be able to get to know the game is live a little bit earlier if you hold a certain amount of better so this is gonna be kind of interesting where you'll get an early notification and that knows us figuring out how to do that with a basically a subset of everyone who has the app installed if you hold a different a certain amount of the token you'll get an early early little you know alpha that that the game is starting and since the game sometimes have only been lasting twenty two minutes that can actually be pretty valuable
very yeah they're going fast right depending on how much of the token you have to disperse yeah it can it can go really fast and how many people are are playing so yeah that would be huge to be able to get that early notification so i love that and i just found this and i hadn't seen it before and i just found it as i was looking for i was trying to find your your dollar sign better announcement and i found this so i just added it as our as our logo now yeah i hadn't seen that one before i don't know why
this is really cool actually this is something that chatgpt has gotten really good at is that i designed the entire interface in in photoshop because i'm an old head and that's what i use and so i know there's lots lots of figma maxis out there they're gonna be like oh you know toadyh's such a boomer uses photoshop anyway i i did worse figma's okay but i just i'll i'm i'm used to photoshop it's what i've used for years so i did all the design in photoshop and then what i did is i kind of like put all the the ux all the different elements into chatgpt into the memory and and just used it to sort of basically create a style sheet to be able to spin up memes and stuff like this and it works extremely well actually so if anyone's you know thinking of using chatgpt for like on the fly social stuff like i highly recommend doing the design yourself if you have the capability and then putting it into like feeding it basically
so then you can do things like this soon and all these cute little
that one was manual but yeah like some of them are manual some of them are not but yeah
you've had some like i'm assuming that was not manual
that one's chatty with you
kidding yeah just keeps spinning some of them are just super cute i really like this
i'm glad you showed the better bomb so let let's talk about the better bomb for a quick moment so the better bomb is the biggest airdrop that we're gonna be doing it's the one that we vaulted for sixty days and and we're tracking better karma and karma is basically just you know a a bit of a black box but it's tracking how how much you're playing how many spins you're doing how often you're winning and what you're sharing in the app as well
as is this where you end up on the leaderboard is it the karma
this is what the leaderboard is basically tracking which you can check at any point by going into the app and hitting the little trophy with the k on it and you can check where you stand
or just ask us to crypto where it is he knows
yeah or or or betterment.fund/ leaderboard works as well but you can check check there and see where you where you stand and essentially that's gonna be what we use to figure out allocations during this airdrop and so it's kind of a measure of how much you've been using the app how much you've been helping us to get the word out about the app and also just a a bit of a multiplier on how much better token you hold and then we're gonna be able to reward people with this airdrop and yeah i'm excited about that
i love that and i love that you've you really kinda thought ahead on those kind of things which is which is awesome oh interesting interesting who's not at the top
not yet not yet but he's he's trying i mean the tough thing about this for yester crypto is we only have a game every two days so it's not like he can be grinding
all the time
he can only grind when the game is is live
i don't know who who who you are who are you
they they've been
they've been just killing it
they won the jackpot one day they've been minting like a 100 or 200 every game so
wow i
just love when people get excited about these things it's fun
wow that's wild mhmm i've been doing like just usually just doing a one one little spin and and you know i just i'm just kinda playing along and just doing my thing and and also like i but i've had times where i've won you know a five x a two x sometimes i win nothing and that's also fine because i'm still talking to something that maybe i haven't seen before and that's happened a couple times where i'm like oh i haven't seen i don't know who this is and it's definitely been a great way to for discovery of new podcasts and and content so for me that's kinda what the appeal is for for me right now but i i love the i love that everyone's gonna find their thing you know that that they wanna do you're gonna have the farmers also prominently displayed by the way we embrace
the farmers you know like you can't you can't be in this space and not embrace farmers like if people wanna do do your thing because you set up the incentives like i mean that's yeah they're there that's that's their prerogative and and you know what if your content's good maybe the maybe the farmers will watch it too you know and and they'll become gm farcaster fans or what have you
you know after they do the you know the harvesting they're working out in the fields they they you know gotta kick back
and relax for the furnace work
yeah kick back and relax exactly that's what so that is also featured down here in the corner oh i love that
can i can i just clarify one thing too about the air drill
go ahead
so i i i'm talking about this better bomb which is the one we vaulted which will happen at the end of the sixty day period but we do have a launch airdrop that we put off from launch because we were able to get into the warpcast now farcaster airdrop program so a little bit of alpha there talking to linda and we are gonna be doing essentially a airdrop that's 10% of the of the supply of of betterment wow sorry 5% of the supply of betterment
this is like wow that's a lot yeah a big chunk
and it's going out to top mini app users so we've talked to some of our favorite communities in mini app from around farcaster and got them to give us basically their list of their top 50 people who who make what they built tick and we've put together a list of a really cool group of of basically like mini app maxies who are who are gonna get an airdrop via warpcast slash farcaster next next week so that's some alpha for you
i wanna ask about one more thing betr together with toadyhawk what is this
all that this is a fever dream from last night just something we're gonna try i i thought it might be kinda fun to do a livestream during the game i might regret it because sometimes sometimes the game can be a bit chaotic when we're trying to get ready for it so hopefully i don't regret this but i thought oh
you will you definitely will but that's okay
you're probably right and my parents are in town too so i'm gonna have to like sneak away from them be like sorry i gotta go do a livestream for a you know a crypto thing but i'm gonna have ryan ryan on from the creators and i think this might be an interesting way to sort of give a little bit of extra amplitude a little bit of extra attention to the creator that we're featuring for that day it's just have have them on love it have live capture some of the of the energy of the game live as well and it'll just be quick like you know half an hour and and then we'll
in and out yep that's that's awesome i love that and okay using stream we haven't started using stream yet and i know it was down for a little bit and we're we we really need to incorporate it have you used this before or is this the first time you're
using it before sorry i have used it in a previous incarnations i know it's changed since then apparently it should work like as part like can stream it directly from streamyard
that was the
that was
the issue at early on and that's why we didn't because it was gonna be an extra thing and i was like well
i'll let you know how
it goes we're gonna try it today and hopefully ideally
it should end up streaming on both warpcast and x at the same time so around 3pm check us out and come come hang and and play the game try the game most people have been really liking it so yeah 3pm you gotta offer know what
give it one minute one spin try it out see how you like it and it you know i think it's it's worth the worth the the worst thing that can happen
is that you will support a creator so i mean that's
the worst thing if walk into it you a walk dollar something for like a dollar whatever whatever the amount is it's it's it's a tiny amount and you can yeah support that creator and then possibly win a whole bunch more
yeah if you have if you have to like call home from the casino and be like honey i supported a creator i'm sorry like i bet it all on red and i supported a creator i'm sorry
i think a lot of people call vegas with those notes but they they they creator yeah oh yeah creator that call's been made many times
what was this charge oh i
was what kind creation were they
making helping i was helping somebody get through school
prof went off the rails today adrienne i don't know don't let her go to vegas
i know exactly well i mean look look right there free buffet the dick butt on a pole there you go yeah alright we're gonna wrap this up this has been awesome i'm really excited for everything you're doing i'm gonna turn it tune in for better together for today with with toadyhawk very exciting with thee sorry the toadyhawk it's thee and if you're a creator
can i can i show that like if you're a creator who wants to have something featured please drop in my dms you know we're only running every other day right now so we have a bit of a list but if you wanna be featured and you have something either old and evergreen or something new that's coming out and you wanna try and experiment drop in my dms and we'll be happy to do that and if you're a token project like we've had a few like vale shout out to apex
yeah i love apex
dickbut and runner and and zora and all these tokens if you have a token like this that you'd like to get a little extra exposure and and also distribution can be very win win win so please get in touch and and let me know if you wanna sponsor a round a betterment
cast out's just not worth enough i don't have enough of it to give you to make it worthwhile unfortunately
no well we're gonna yeah we're gonna work on that too like we we might we might make a mode where it's like like a jack like not a jackpot but like a a mixing pot on one day where it's just like a bunch of meme coins to make it easier and more accessible so stay tuned on that it's a bit more technically difficult but that's something we're looking at
that would be cool and we just don't i don't have enough that makes it worthwhile for those collecting unfortunately so anyway fantastic
when casto goes to a billion then
exactly when casto goes to a billion i will give you plenty to give away i'll still be holding it because i'm not gonna sell it i just give it away that's all i i do and the same thing with givelify
yeah when when givelify unlocks a year oh you better watch out
you better watch out
it's all going to better
now givelify popping off and we'll use this background as well for it it'll be perfect it's perfect it's ready alright toady thank you so much for being here with us today this has been awesome adrienne any last questions before we sign off or any last notes
10 out of 10 no notes i thought you were
gonna ask me like the best way to deal with an electrician or something like this you know
that could be it as well
fantastic okay and that is it also for cast out until monday so monday we'll be back at are we doing 11:30 on monday what are we doing
okay yes update we are doing a regular pst friendly show we're doing every monday 11:30 with or without a guest that's just our new time
and then monday we'll also
little bit of cast out we'll announce the new challenge
cast out exactly we are gonna stick with the schedule for at least a month or two three months just to we gotta see enough but we've there's been enough requests from the from the west coasters that want a later show so we'll stick with monday there is big new thing coming so i think likely we will have dan pop by to talk about that so that'll also be probably a second show later in the week and also at a later time so just put note just follow us because we'll we'll constantly kind of updating these schedules
we'll tell you
or you'll miss big new thing
it's up to you you'll miss big new thing you follow us or you'll miss big new thing
and and mini app is in progress and maybe we'll figure out how to send some notifications of schedule alerts maybe that's what we should i don't know
that's that should probably be the next focus that'd be great yeah so we do have a mini app that's in in the works i have tested it out it's cute it needs it needs a few more things but that's okay it's cute
i have i looked at it
i know but that was like the quick start tutorial from base that does nothing except like say hello world but it's yeah it's gonna happen
she's being a supportive
person trying to be supportive
toady while we have you here one last thing any advice for those playing cast out as the first cast out winner
so the main thing is to get a good final two alliance right adrienne mean
really though
like it could have gone either way
it's actually tied up with a with a toad and everything
i don't wanna open yeah i don't wanna open old wounds but like it could either adrienne or i could it could have ended up the winner of that season and it's because we did such a good job hiding our alliance we had a final two alliance that literally nobody knew about in either team so it's true adrienne
that's the way to go
okay here's the deal i'm gonna get okay one i i did never played these games before i didn't know anything about anything but you should be in a final two alliance but you should also know that your final two is gonna stab you in the back so i didn't know i didn't even know where this was going so you need to be the one making the final two don't just like accept one from anyone so like be the toady not the adrienne
no yeah i mean you you won a lot of competitions too so it was yeah and you had your immunity and yeah so i i honestly really
all you can do is get yourself to the end and then
and i never even and i and i think because you asked me i never trusted that it actually was a real final two alliance it
was only like code and oh you did understand she didn't understand the value she did
that's i actually forgot that when you're proposing an alliance that's actually you can put skin like so toady sent something to my wallet of value and said if if if i don't actually keep my alliance word you can keep this which i wasn't gonna do may or maybe i would've but anyway
i don't know you might have been pissed
have a little skin in the game
it's very interesting so cast out's a little different now it's tribe all the way up until the very final thing and then the five people on that tribe will have an opportunity to play an individual game so it's slightly different but here's the funniest thing there were three tribes when we started of eight that had little nouners on them two fully all little nouners and one that had three out of five yeah the first two voted out were lil fun and lil's number one two of the lil noun tribes i'm like you guys should have been able to keep yourselves in for at least in like till monday
have you been to have you been to lil nouns discord
yes i have often and last night is a matter of i wouldn't see each
other in it probably the volume
too early i have to tell you this so you can give him shit sasquatch we played farcaster trivia yesterday one of the questions is which head is the is lil noun's token number one and it's the answers to choose from were unicorn pirate ship i forget let's say brick wall and pumpkin
is it pumpkin yes i don't know okay
thanks but also he was talking to other little nouners at that time and nobody and like how in the world did you miss this one so he ended up
getting it's on that wall it's on that wall too
it's on the wall and i had it posted about it that day that morning like here it is here's the cute little pumpkin
can't believe it
blew it he blew it
my my other piece of advice quickly before we go is just win as many competitions as you can adrienne alluded to that but don't like alliances and social game is important in these types of things but you know don't let yourself be at someone else's behest you gotta you gotta do it do it yourself win all the win all the you you can that does make you a target in some ways too so you have to like counter your your target
your back with like social game but
yep for sure and i know i know adrienne has to run he's popping up already but thank you electrol gotta run mikey popping around lots of we've had lots of issues today alright everyone thank you all for hanging we'll be back monday we'll see you then and with that all we say bye bye
bye bye
