GM Farcaster ep248 Wednesday May 21, 2025

Would love for this section to show the crash outs and arguments for the day, this is not the trend of the day that I care about

so much lore and history in this industry and also specifically crypto twitter characters who’ve come and gone, those who’ve stayed the whole time, drama, euphoria, despair, etc. special place, makes you think

pov you’re catching up on the Farcaster discourse today

Haven’t seen much on my farcaster tl about this. Probably a win that the TL has become less ETH dev focused but this is huge news and I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to sleep tonight as a result 🥳

need to check that astrology miniapp because there are BAD VIBES EVERYWHERE today 😡

building a mini app on celo? want CELO to reward your users?? @celopg is distributing 100k CELO to apps for incentive budgets apply now!!! 👇

@warpee.eth id love to hear what you remember about power badges and any interesting stories we talked about when they used to be a thing

ready for the return of the power badge

You don’t get it. This isn’t just another upgrade. The zk future we thought was 10+ years out? It’s almost here. Ethereum is becoming a zk-rollup... on Mainnet. Soon your phone can be a node. More scale. More decentralization. No compromises. https://x.com/drakefjustin/status/1924929057676001466

great day at the shop soon to be known as @nouncoffee

PSA We’re a US-based company. We have to follow financial regulations. This means 1) there are certain countries we cannot provide financial services to and 2) >$600 a year requires everyone to complete a W8 / W9 if they want to continue to receive payments from us. If you would prefer not to provide that, that’s OK. But we can’t pay you.

just got early access to farcaster PRO, can you see this pic?

frames in blue mini app will be for my manifold mints BUT any artist can remix the app on replit and create their own and deploy. @keccers.eth wrote a tutorial on how to go about it. https://paragraph.com/@keccers/how-to-mint-manifold-1155s-in-a-farcaster-mini-app

🍕 🥳 Thursday 💜

I love it here

Publicly rage posting about a person in a small community never ends well. The false sense of visibility from engagement metrics is at the expense of social capital that is gone once it's gone. Keep it private and square off whatever differences you can. Otherwise take a breather before scorching the earth around you.

Proud to be partnering with on the biggest Farcaster round with @tayyab, @base.base.eth, @dwr.eth, and @ccarella.eth

Why are you constantly trying new things? Changing things? We’re trying to make this whole thing work. It’s still unclear. Only way forward is through action.

From November 2022 https://danromero.org/on-subscriptions.html

This dog @bertwurst.eth is absolutely ravaging the Ponder outcomes today.

apparently receiving warpcast rewards is “free money” lmfao this aint an airdrop my guy we are the ones populating this network and driving activity and i appreciate what @dwr.eth @v etc are building more than i can describe in a cast but having to keep tabs on dcs from ted to do compliance is not it

Excited to introduce a new way to grow your audience and get more from your writing. Automatically crosspost from Medium, Substack, Ghost, and more to Paragraph — reach new readers, spark deeper discussion, and unlock new ways for people to support your work. https://paragraph.com/@blog/bringing-the-next-wave-of-writers-onchain

We’re planning to launch a new, optional “Pro” protocol subscription 1. At launch, subscribers will have a Pro badge on their profile 2. Subscription will be onchain and part of the protocol. 100% of the proceeds go to casters / developers in weekly rewards. This in addition to the existing $25K+ a week in rewards. 3. Planning to add longer casts (10K characters) and up to 4 images per cast for pro subscribers (needs a protocol change). Additional features over time. 4. $120 a year / $10 a month
 Why are we doing this? - The protocol needs to find long-term revenue source that can continue fund caster and developer rewards beyond any one company. 
 - We originally thought storage fees could be that, but we’ve realized that storage fees should be essentialy free to help growth.
 - So we’re trying an opt-in pro subscription as another model Why now? - Figuring out a long-term revenue model that works will allow us to double down on investing in growth

A few people have pointed out that they have neither an X or a Github. We're making changes to support them: 1. If you're active and earning rewards, you won't have to connect socials. Exact threshold TBD. 2. If you're a brand new user, you can pay to skip connecting socials. 3. We're also going to add more socials and onchain verifications over time to make this easier.

Warpcast Spam labels are improving Our new system uses LLMs to make better decisions. It will make fewer mistakes in both directions and will prevent legitimate users from getting the spam label. We expect fewer users to get the spam label as a result of this change. It may take a few weeks to roll out fully.

Scammers are leveling up. Are you? 👀 Even pros are getting rekt these days. That’s why we’re teaming up with RevokeCash.twitter for a 1-hour crash course in crypto safety 🔐 No fluff—Just what to do + how to do it. 🖊️ Sign up to attend below https://lu.ma/t75s8zfi
