but it's not now right like it's not it's
not now it's not now because it's 08:30 pacific time i believe so we're good but i wanted to mention that too that it is channels channels day tomorrow highlighting some channels on forecaster and why they're important and all the fun things so but before that adrianne yes i am wearing my everything is computer t shirt and i am so glad that i packed it
which is a far cat which is a far con t shirt
shirt it's a far con shirt this is one of the far con merch shirts and it just came in real handy
i don't know i don't know what you were doing last night erica was sitting in nevada popcorn everyone was getting their popcorn out because it was a sight to behold there are days on the internet that you remember forever this is one of them yeah so and by the way let me just set up a little scenario as to where i am so i'm at my brother's house the room that i did use the other day is currently occupied by teenagers who slept over after the graduation party last night i went to go set up and i went okay that's not gonna work so now it's out of a different space so i'm like in the dining room and there's just gonna be occasional noise so we're gonna do the best we can but so while this party's going on i keep like looking at my phone to find out what's happening with the breakup of the century of elon and trump and it was just like every online every online person terminally online person was staring at twitter last night like it was just fascinating
i had i had to go do a little road trip and i went to go visit some family a few states away so i'm in the car yesterday
oh that's right
well and and i got a phone call from someone just saying hey do you know what's happened on twitter in the last fifteen minutes by the way i don't know if you knew that we saw the cracks like we knew this was going to be happening forever
predicted this it was just a i mean we like this is not a surprise there's some people like oh are you surprised and i'm like what but the
and i was like yeah i started seeing it but then i was like no in the last bit so i was so upset that i had to be driving because by the way wouldn't it be amazing if we had full self driving cars fully fully fully and you could just like sit and scroll while your car drives
we do it's called a tesla have you heard of it no full full
i mean all look i've owned even by the way do i've owned tesla since for over twelve years nice i'm full
i was driving one yesterday yeah i've been
in another house lately i'm full of luck i'm like it's anyway so that's why i was like why don't you decide i'm gonna take in this little spat but
well i could've i i knew that anyway
i was so upset that i couldn't just participate in the memery and then i got to my family's house and hung out and couldn't also couldn't just scroll and then i had to drag it back in the car and drive another few hours and couldn't scroll so i'm so i was like at least i've got gm forecaster so it can last night
at least lived through it a little bit
but what i wanted last night yeah during a car with someone to read twitter to me like it just was like where is there a space where is there a live podcast that can just tell me what's happening between these
two children there was there were spaces happening okay there were twitter spaces that were happening because i kept seeing them pop up and they were all different varieties i'll put it that way like everyone was putting their own spin on it and then there was what i was watching at like a little after nine i kinda went and hid for a minute i was watching the bulwark did they do something called the the secret podcast it's like open to their subscribers or whatever they're like emergency secret podcast emergency and it was really just like they're just sitting there like gossiping like you know it was just funny and that some of the trending things were hilarious like the girls are fighting was trending and i just thought that was so funny and it did kind of feel like the real housewives of washington dc so there was that too but by the way have you seen this this morning i mean you know not usually one to like applaud the new york post but
i
didn't see it and is this the real this is a real cover this is yes someone mocked up
i hate this is the actual cover that's the actual cover i mean that's
new york post they they still got it for
they still got it i mean that was that was just you know well done a big beautiful breakup and there was also the ap wire had a a really good lead for one of the things i didn't grab that one but it was it was quite good the memes were hilarious the you could tell there was like all of a sudden this pause in the fighting where they both like went to their corners and apparently there was an emergency oval office meeting so they kinda like paused for luise so i was looking this morning to see if there was anything new and there wasn't but it's what a crazy crazy thing like
neither neither of them have any shame like there's no right so if they're like so they'll be fine they'll make up they'll kiss and make up and they'll forget that they ever all the words they said but elon i my only
you know i know what's really funny this is like a breakup though because you know that that happens and then people make up and then their friends are like oh we're not supposed to hate you anymore that's gonna be the problem it's like we which side are we supposed to be on now you guys are back together i don't know how to deal with those because i already said some main things about you it's gonna be that kind of situation
yeah which is gonna be i mean my favorite kind of just meta to think about it was always and this was like back during the campaign was who's more powerful like is it
right right
elon or trump and
i i just to to be able to see it play out it's just really interesting and i i just feel like $44,000,000,000 is starting to feel like a bargain for
yeah
for buying twitter
absolutely absolutely
very good elon i mean this is all he does
by the way this was what was trending
right
trump trump versus elon was top trending on farcaster there you go so you didn't even have to go to twitter if you didn't want to
yes you did sorry
yesterday was sorry yesterday was one of those days it really did
okay
it's alright you did get enough you did get enough if you didn't want to wait over there but yeah it was definitely one of those days where if you were you were gonna get the best stuff over there there was also but one thing i don't understand also like this makes sense the tesla stock had a moment came crashing down but everything came crashing down and i'm like can you guys just stop crashing markets is what i would like because why is ethereum involved in this breakup ethereum has nothing to do with this why are you taking it out on her she was just minding her own business why why why i have no idea and it just i think it's everybody thinks is this like the market saying oh my god the whole entire world is crashing so we need to get out is my guess but like can you guys just chill for a minute it'll be it's gonna find its way through it's gonna be fine so so funny so so funny and there was a few other really good memes that i kept coming across that were just hilarious by the way for those who might be a little newer if we talk about politics this is how we talk about it through memes only
let's cover the memes
just the memes we went through the whole entire election and pretty much only covered memes and usually very quickly as well to keep the yeah
or the or the intersection of politics and farcaster
right
that's different yeah if you are stand with crypto or other like not stand with crypto who do who do we have on that that what was their oh my god yeah
i thought it was stand sam for crypto was it sam for crypto i think it was yeah this or if you're
ro khanna and you're getting on farcaster and getting active like you can come on and we'll talk politics with you
oh we'll talk politics with you all day farcaster politics yeah we'll tech we'll talk politics with you all day so this was really funny to me as well i don't know if you saw this this is nothing like this was really funny another child with a divorce it was kanye tweeting
kanye's tweet was hilarious rose please know we love you both so much
just like
hey kanye not the time
not the time just it's okay it's gonna be alright buddy it just it was just so random and then there were a lot of really funny like who gets jd vance in the divorce kinda kinda memes that were really funny and then these this is when i really needed saxx yes and saxx that one's easy though we know the answer to that it's not gonna be it's gonna be elon this was funny this was one of my favorites with the world leaders on the phone bro you seeing this
so that was a good one this also was really good bought this before elon went crazy on the tesla that trump bought so that was pretty funny there were so many good ones they were all over
the place kojo casted something about was it cojo now i might forget because i'm pulling this from memory but he said like if you're making tesla bumper stickers something along the lines of like if you're in the business of making tesla bumper stickers like you're gonna crush it this year everyone's gotta buy a new one every week
you're gonna crush it you're you're doing great sweetie
and if that wasn't kojo sorry whoever it was
yeah and these ones these two were funny too it was foretold yeah yeah you think and and then the other the other one
oh i didn't see this one
you didn't see this one oh those were good and then this was really funny alien versus predator and all the wwe type of memes as well were pretty funny so anyway so that's what's going on in the world we do have some farcaster specific news but anything else on this front before we before we move on
no it was it was hilarious i'm glad farcaster got to have a day of like
it's also it's all a freaking circus
it's such a circus like i and like i know we should be taking this seriously but i could only be in the laughter of it for like a day because there's no
we should not we should not take it serious i am on the other end
i think
okay not take it serious like and let it go like enjoy it for a day and now let's move on
now let's move on and i have a feeling that's exactly what's gonna happen like we'll well it really could go in two directions but i'm guessing that there's gonna be a little detente for a bit because there is a little bit of mutual self destruction potential here so my guess is that yeah we have to detente this for a little bit and if you don't know what detente is like a piece a ceasefire in a cold war so just for the young ends who may not have heard that word before
that's grass everyone's gotta touch grass
it's a little bit a little bit of eighties eighties nostalgia alright but let's yeah let's move on we have some other things my life is my life
is my life is
and staff so
much better when i it is but honestly yesterday
was just it was fun it was fun it was very entertaining it was very entertaining but honest but most of the good stuff did make its way over so you really didn't have to to be
the only thing that's actually a good point the only thing i thought about the whole thing was like nothing as the things are playing out nothing is surprising like everyone everyone is in elon and troy they're acting exactly as they've always acted according to how their robotic brain is programmed to act and so it's like okay it's actually not that interesting it is but it's not
not that surprising but it is kinda interesting if you think you know beyond like the fact that that twitter spat can move markets it's something
yeah
you know it's pretty $44,000,000,000
was a bargain and if you don't like social media in the hands of one person or one company or like then there's alternatives and we call
ours farcaster so let's talk a little bit about what's going on over there alright
vote with your feet vote with your attention
vote with your attention so sloke's wife went out of town for the weekend he said friends as well guess i'll ship and this is what he shipped hyper liquid so we have now farcaster now supports hyper evm in wallet and mini apps send and swap any token on hyper evm and your existing balances on other chains no bridging necessary that part is really important we'll get back to that update and restart your mobile app to enable by the way there were some issues yesterday too towards the end of the day i think totally unrelated to this so make sure you've updated in the app store if you're having any problems and then then below there is a game of course because j c four p just whipped something up on a new chain it's really cute cute little game and so i was trying to figure out how i was gonna get some hype in order to play because there's an aspect of this where you can you need to add some hype and i didn't realize how easy it was to swap as soon as i figured out where you know the right token was and i was like wow this is impressive and that's the impressive part
how do you do it or a cast or a watt just in your warplit
swapping the warplit yeah
swapping the warplit
so swapping the swapping the woplet i've been with my mother too much by the way so my i might you might hear a hint of
i think that's the new name i think it actually that's the new name for the warplet it's a woplet
swap woplet woplet
swoplet
swoplet swoplet swoplet
swoplet
swoplet no
swamplet okay
so anyway and there's a lot of people popping no bridging that just means they're bridging behind the scenes
they're bridging behind the scenes for you yeah and so a lot of people commented on that fact that they'd had a hard time getting hype like being able to swap to hype it was very like it's just elusive it's not that easy to do or whatever there's a lot of people commenting on how difficult that was and that this was so simple so even on twitter you were saying people shout out like this might be the easiest way to to swap to hype like to get on to hype and it was really interesting or hyper liquid so that was really cool to say so leading the way and sloke you're just ridiculous like would
it be inappropriate or inappropriate if we did like a crowd fund to keep sending sloke's wife on away on weekends you're like sloke's wife we got a we all chipped in and got you a spa gift certificate
where would you where's some place you'd really like to go for like a long weekend not like you know
like a short little
like just somewhere we could send you
joshua turkey like pumps pumps we
should probably make sure he has something in his in his mind and ready like we don't wanna you know let's be efficient he got something you've been wanting to work on there buddy yeah so that was pretty amazing and impressive great to see
then okay so we mentioned channels day channels day is tomorrow june 7 we've been rooting for channels since day one this is from sahil and open rank we'll celebrate folks who can make channels great mods and users who show up in channels every day we'll pick the 100 most active channels and and drop a channels day nft to the top 50 users on each of these channel leaderboards you can check your rank and share directly from the channel app so that is really cool and as i mentioned i'm going to be jumping on with humpty and ted for a chat and i need to find that tweet real quick i think that's gonna be a lot of fun just talking channels so i think there was possibility that dan might be there as well but we'll see we'll see hold on one second excuse me quiet on the set please thanks
this has been really not easy not easy to do this while you're traveling so this is from humpty official channels day what does this mean channels were launched on june 7 and quickly became cozy corners for creators curators and communities to connect and grow on farcasters celebrate with us if you're a channel owner quote cast this post with a note about why you started your channel how is it meaningful to you and don't forget to celebrate your active members by tagging the top contributors and letting them know how they help make your cozy corner better if you don't own a channel or simply a fan of channels quote cast is supposed to tag your top three channels and share why they're important to you how do they make the internet or farcaster a better place for you so i love that i think that's so fun and then there's an official launch party that's what's happening today at 8am pdt with ray's ibsa and humpty maybe i think dwr might be joining i know ted is and i'll be there as well so this will be really fun
yeah so what are your three favorite channels by the way
adrienne
hey you're you're putting me on the spot i don't know what my
like this is a hard question for i mean come
on i'm not in channel like i have
i i defer my answer
okay alright
i don't know what my three favorites are
that's funny the one i use the most is obviously gm forecaster because but that's more we use that more of like a bulletin board this is where we just post about gm forecaster so but i appreciate that use case so much that i will say that is my favorite channel and then i would say builder builder dao is what we use for builder in a similar fashion nouns has been fantastic in terms of having an open place for discussion most of our discussions have been in discords so that's been to me really great if you have favorite channels drop them in the chat we'd love to know firefit oh yeah you asked this question at brunch
i said what's your favorite channel like one favorite that's easier than three a list i'm like no i thank you then because if it's one i can be like alright here's one
yeah
i can answer it yeah jam park aster
jamcaster firebits is always fun catwalk if you haven't been in catwalk just for fun like you should because it's hilarious and you know dogs is always a good one too yeah so anyway it is one of
my favorite questions to ask people yeah what i love about channel day two is like just the the history of channels from like a product development and protocol development perspective which was merkle team doing a ton of experiments with channels over the years and not really finding the thing that would lead to growth
like right
like hockey stick protocol growth so it ends up being kind of deprioritized but the people here are so desperately wanting channels right so there's been a lot of this push and pull between users on farcaster who really want channels as a place to develop communities and the merkel team saying well we're not really going to invest in it what i love most is the the people who keep advocating for channels like in a constructive way because dan is listening so channels day which is a a completely kind of bottoms up community driven thing right day and event will make its way to merkel
right
is that like it's just so all the like so i think for the it's it's just such a good spirit of permissionless network building and c and dare i say seniors but
senious so for all the
things yeah of like if you're here and you're if you don't like necessarily the direct direction merkel's going with anything things can change they listen to feedback so i'm i'm really happy to see all the people who are just who have been so passionately pro channel the whole way
yeah definitely
and for sure the the cura open rank guys and folks and peachy
and and humpty's been a huge advocate peachy yep and i love these uli posting was it got a shout out here oh yes yep and the songwriter's channel songwriting channel mhmm first draft i think is a great use of a channel for something different for a creative outlet i think that's a great use of channel i love lilly posting just for fun and also the e e e the dolphin channel was really funny in the opposite direction so it's i think there's been some creative uses of channels and i i think there'll be more especially as you get different integrations and things and more things you can do with them like those experimentations with uli posting and things like that like experimenting more with different different approaches is always fun yeah so there we go alright so channels day tomorrow and today a little bit of stuff launching today and then tomorrow you'll see lots about channels on the timeline a couple more newsy things new mini app api for back navigation this is from diodad one line integration for standard web apps custom integration available for advanced use cases back control will vary depending on platform web is button ios is swipe left android is native back control swipe and or hardware virtual button simple yet powerful so that's pretty cool what do you is that something that would be useful for you not really in our app yet
well i think the only thing i found as a user in many apps and when i was developing is sometimes you'll our our app is a single page
right
right so there's no real navigation but when you sometimes you'll launch a like we we have links that go out to youtube or our media kit and they open in a separate window
okay yeah
so not within the mini app there is a there's a hook in the in the on chain mini kit and the base mini kit for do making that really easy to do but if you just code it as if like open this window and it opens inside the mini app then you get stuck in there
and then i'm gonna use the back button
so like yeah yeah and i've done like if you wanna link to a different page or link somewhere but not leave the mini app like and and i've done this before where i'm like oh actually this if you're watching in our mini app right now and you're in if you click on the youtube like open in youtube in the youtube embed it opens inside of our mini app and then you're you're stuck there until you until you exit and like reload the mini app
okay so that does happen ennergize the free app would be useful for that point
for that and then you can swipe left yeah
alright cool yeah this seems like something that'll be very useful for a lot of different mini apps that are out there especially gaming ones too
super easy to figure out how to implement not as a mini app developer but as like on the on the standard protocol side so i don't know if dio dad had written about it but if you're a tech nerd you can go read about all the things he can do to to get that working
i think he i don't know if he did maybe not interested in yeah maybe somewhere else yeah
somewhere else he
was but there's a whole the documentations here and the demos here as well and within this thread from diodad and this link all the links we show on the show are in our show notes so if you're looking for this and can't find it or just go to at diodad and you'll find it alright we also have new improved threads we're now showing more replies by default see the images below for examples and i think this is great because the threading sometimes you like lose replies when you're trying to you know like see mhmm you you've i've seen it happen so many times where i'm like wait i know i saw this reply and i can't find it again and it's just kinda hidden so this is great be able to see more replies and also alina ferry was in this thread and she was quite happy about that so there you go sorry shout it out that was funny this from dwr in the last two months farcaster app rebrand web wallet launch snapchain launch farcaster pro 12,000 plus subscriptions coinbase wallet beta with farcaster support new ecosystems monad celo solana hyper evm minimized mini apps a bunch of improvements to the mini apps sdk and dev tools auth addresses shipped increased usdc rewards for casters and developers tip tuesday trending topics gasless background swaps improved token pages choo choo i you know what i when i read this i went i bet dan was writing an update it was like wait this is a lot
yeah
i'm like i didn't really see this on there and i was looking like invest it sounds like a good doing
his investor update then he yeah
really good investor update for q for q one q one
did he forget anything i think he forgot he forgot the work the cast reaction the w and we really need to train we also need to train reaction when he writes choo choo
so yeah i'm surprised that hasn't been done yet yeah we need a choo choo train would be great i think that would be nice as the next one for sure i'd love to see that okay moving on farcaster for every chain a map the map keeps being updated like it is that part to me is really impressive like how many chains are getting added in and that things are swapping and working and moving so easily between them is really incredible especially if you've been around here for a while where like just bridging from polygon would take you hours and hours and usually would fail you'd have to do it like four times before it worked and that was all ethereum based and this is like going back three years
yeah
it's not even that long ago three years and i was doing that and like losing my mind trying to just bridge over usdc from polygon to main net like crazy so this is amazing
and yeah and i think the best part of this goes against that whole narrative of like farcaster is base equals base or oh well farcaster is built on base so therefore if this idea that a social network first of all farcaster is not built on base so
right it's not it's built on optimism
but anyway optimism yeah let's just say farcaster is built on optimism okay cool right what does that mean
super chain yeah
oh well if i'm not in that network then it's not for me but the sufficiently decentralized part which is yeah there's it doesn't that can be forecaster but forecaster can inter interrupt and integrate and work on any platform any chain and you start to feel that as a user like it doesn't matter from like the word blitz this is cool to see
yeah it's really pretty impressive so great to see this this from rish continuing to make notifications better for many app developers you can now create notification campaigns the dev portal and see metrics like delivery rate open rate unique opens using open rate as a way to iterate on notification styles can significantly improve app performance over time the higher the percentage of users clicking your notifications the better your app performs overall it's a vegan beef for the work reach out did you really just podcast bomb that was my brother
amazing that was my brother
anyway are you seriously hi people of the earth people of the forecast podcast i'm gonna learn everything about the the podcast i'm very excited
let's go let's go send that send that man an invite
i would i wanted him to do it before he could he could be on here talking about you know what he likes doesn't like we could be helping him get started but he didn't do the homework so he wasn't allowed on but he voted he he he podcasted mom anyway to the podcast i know and i also asked my mom if she wanted to do a market report she said everything's down
the best days the best days for a market report
great day for a market report anyway tutorial on how to set up notifications and reply
you're you're ahead they're all commenting about you yeah about the podcast this is onboarding yes this is onboarding cj oh my lord
anyway moving on now you understand why this has been difficult to do this for me
got thrown then you this is like your panic is like when you left the stream on monday and i was like fuck
ruin it i like very controlled environments that i have cultivated over the past 254 episodes
this whole day is what drove me off alright couple more things this is from linda someone just received me their passport photo unprompted please don't do that i'm not verifying your k y c why did somebody do that we don't know
and then six ayo my bad
ayo my bad it sounded to me real quick testing something and your inventor like i know everybody's just losing their minds yeah so do not send linda your passport and then i think it was schlombs was it schlombs who said if you wanna put your passports here and people started dropping passports don't do that most of the time they were just dropping
fake bus
some of them were fake but there were a couple that i wasn't sure about so don't do that just just don't by the way this is really cool so this is from the noise team okay banger is now a super tip which is funny so if you type okay banger on a cast in a comment it will you can set this up within the noyce app where you can set it for a larger amount or whatever and this was i i just realized i don't have the the dan the dan cast but dan about ten months ago had said somebody should make i should be able to tip you extra if you type okay banger and now it's it's live so there you go from dream to reality and i love this from miguel who is celebrating both the nintendo switch and okay banger at the same time it's really cute he's also doing the nft and he did post i think it was yesterday stop asking him when the nft is coming merkel will get it to you when they're good and ready so my guess is he's done his part so there you go a couple more things this was funny from kyle patrick
this was in relation to me nft checker me in relation to the fact that group chats if they were token gated with an nft and you were using the check for nft check off it was kicking people out and it literally there was for some reason the other night it kicked everybody out of like a whole bunch of group chats so it was like made it look like we've just kicked you out we did not so we did not kick anyone out so it was something something went wrong there something broke i think it's been fixed now but we also just for our personal group chat i just added everybody in but it was really funny because and then oh i forgot to grab the triumphs cast where he was calling us out for kicking him out of the group chat i don't know if you saw that from triumph that was really funny so yeah we didn't we didn't kick anybody out and nobody's really mad and it was really funny this is almost my background today and i just couldn't get it to look good jesse okay there's two things about this particular photo and if you're only listening to this you might wanna go take a look or maybe you've seen the cast jesse pollack went to capitol hill yesterday talking to folks about crypto on the hill staffers and congress and members of congress and he said suited up but before this right before this he said does anyone have a suit in dc so i don't know if forgot to pack one luggage got lost i did not hear the rest of the reason this one looks like it fits but maybe it's a little short in the pants i'm not sure can't tell but he had some really funny content yesterday where he was actually running he saw the motorcade go by and he starts running towards it it was really oh i guess he was distracted so that was pretty funny but he had a good day up on the hill talked to a lot of folks about crypto and thanks for doing the work jesse and coinbase always up there doing the work and this is from inari if you want to make sure your mini app gets visibility in coinbase wallet ensure your manifest is your main fest or manifest
manifest
it should be manifest right it's properly set up here some of the biggest apps do not have this set up most important ones to fill out primary category og title og description og image url subtitle description and tagline hero image url i think i still owe you some images now that i'm reading this
for you that you needed
i forgot about that you do
i just as soon as i read something like wait i think i owe you something i will get that done as soon as i get back home so yeah so if you are getting they're gonna start to increase the number of people who are able to access beta and then i i think the plan is sometime this summer it will be open so make sure you're ready for that moment and and is the gm forecast app still the number one in news
i don't know i'll verify
that's pretty pretty amazing
i also have no idea what that track like what goes into the order
i have no idea i don't know but it's good to see
no we are dead last what
alright people if you're using coinbase wallet go into our app
we're number seven behind behind two kiwi news like why are there two kiwi news and why are they both more popular than us this is so depressing
there's i i i wouldn't worry about it too much because it literally be just you opening and it could literally be just him opening so it's not that many people using coinbase who are in the beta right yet
so yeah
wouldn't be too
i don't know
too concerned but do do make sure your mini apps are ready and that they're compatible with coinbase wallet it's gonna be good for your good for your visibility and distribution so coming up soon and today what i for i did not pull a cast for this because i don't think i've casted it today we do have another farcon talk that will be out and it is oops do i have it no i don't it is jesse's talk about social coming to coinbase wallet it also is our interview with jesse before he went on to the main stage and then our interview with chintan from coinbase wallet engineering after the fact so we have two really good interviews it's really interesting so if you're interested in what's going on with farcaster coming to coinbase wallet this is gonna be a great talk for you to catch and it'll be today at noon eastern and
the i was also gonna add the far hack and the hackathon awards and i've just been having some wi fi issues so we're gonna push that to monday and that'll be the rest of the far con content that we haven't shown yet will come out on monday so there you go and also i'm not sure the base one is gonna drop everywhere today so it might just be the watch party and then it might have to drop a little bit later or at least later today because i've been having again wi fi issues but we will get it all out there and i was watching it back and it's so good and i debated but i left in fred wilson i was gonna make an edit where he walks in front of the camera oh
and i was like you know what i'm just leaving it it's kinda funny it's it's two seconds iconic i'm like i'm leaving it's a moment it's a moment you get to live the moment with us it it
was really in his talk no no so in our in our podcast studio when we did a interview with jesse before his talk after his talk
it was before it was before and then shintan was after yeah
yeah this was like back in the green room like before any of the talks started i guess fred wilson was just like hanging out in front of our camera talking to dan or whoever and we're like
talking to dan's dad so you see fred wilson and you see dan's dad for like a second just it's but you mostly see fred and it's really funny and i'm trying to get people's attention and they're just not looking at us they're looking at the it's just hilarious so there's a funny moment
that's fantastic forward to
but it was great so it's been fun watching some of that back as i've been editing and then this that particular interview is really good and so is chintan so it's a good buffer i think you guys will enjoy it and then you also get jesse's main stage talk in between so yeah a lot of fun so coming up today at noon eastern and i will try to jump into the chat today might be a little tougher but adrienne are you you'll be there i assume
yeah yeah i'll be in the chat i've been have you been enjoying re watching all the yeah
our content and i've been enjoying the chat too the chat's been fun around it so it's a lot of fun so join us at noon for that this from garrett the other big thing that happened yesterday was it yesterday or the day before circle launched their ipo this is spinning for me for some reason so that was pretty amazing to see another another big ipo from a crypto native project and garrett had some comments and they're not coming up for me and i don't know why so we're gonna move on and maybe i'll come back to that so that was that was really interesting to see though because it went very well and it popped off pretty good from where it started i think it ended up at like a three x by the end of trading if i remember correctly so impressive and i cannot get this cast to come up because that's the kind of day we're gonna have so i'm gonna move on all right this from ted and this was something that you were commenting on as well overwhelming feedback from new users is that the content on farcaster is often too farcaster centric sharing a few topics i would love to read more on farcaster and please let me know if you have if any of these are in your wheelhouse because i would love to help amplify one popular culture two startups three data centric four more science and you can read the details of ted's cast here and then there were some funny memes that came after that you were like yes no more forecaster discussions and why is nothing nothing else is loading for me right now and i'm getting very mad but it was really funny about it was brad's the two wolves here we go inside you there are two wolves one is adrian the other is tldr and it was really i i am on the side of so you are saying come on punks i desperately urge you to cast about your niche interests and ignore the leaderboard and engagement metrics a farcaster content performs better in the short term but who cares when i cast my niche content it always gets fewer likes but i don't care and you shouldn't either there you go and then stop talking about farcaster no i don't think i will that's kinda where i'm at
it is funny it is really funny because the farcaster content takes off like it's like you say you don't like it but it
you don't say it's like it but but however have you seen the leaderboard this week it is being dominated by nonforecaster content people so there you go
oh i wonder if ted had a little say in the algo
i don't know
because my favorite thing is we don't know how the what the algo is on purpose right because if you know it you can gamify it and true
but i don't know what i did notice by one of the person who is currently holding the top spot and we'll see where we get by tuesday is new to farcaster has been known within the nouns community and known within like crypto for a while but is talking about something else that he's working on related to cancer research and has been talking about that so but he's been he's been quote casting everybody and that's what i think did it because he's new so you get that bump and then he's quote casting everything which was very smart so yeah and he just there he there he is
right
so there you go
yeah i'm looking at i don't i'm looking at the leaderboard now for the live seeing some familiar faces yeah can we all agree to stop with the quote casting no too many there's too much no too many there's too much or do it appropriately but they're just wait i'm like
i know
not happy with the quote
i agree but here's the thing and we went through this a while ago with keckers making this point it it show me the incentive and i'll show you the outcome
alright so there's a benefit to quocast we gotta change the algo for a little bit
yeah make the topcast a little i mean maybe it is the topcast is is heavier but i don't know if they can separate it from the quocast oh yeah but that's why you're getting so much quocast so but you know it goes through phases it'll be it'll calm down okay and then this was related to that i thought this was funny from ted talking about mountain head and also related to where we started was wondering why i didn't see anything about mountain head on the timeline here but a quick search reveals one far casters did in fact cast about it two it seems most people had high expectations that weren't met three but i still can't decide whether it's worth the watch or not anybody else watch it here was my cast about that because i take han really fucking seriously was my favorite line and i immediately while i was watching that i was laughing and i was thinking of tldr like it was like immediate but it was just so and also i was thinking about tldr and i was thinking about mark andreessen p marca i was like this is like this feels so weird so i just started laughing but you watch mountain head right and what did you think
what were
your thoughts
oh i did i didn't i did not like it i watched the entire thing so like i
you too
made it through i had such high expectations for it mhmm really really high expectations for it it was directed and made by the guy who did succession which is like yeah i love succession succession is so good yep and it's about tech like hello like it's so i was like oh this is gonna be so good i just thought it really fell flat i fell and
i think when i when i was i was chatting with jd maybe on on the timeline about like why and yeah and i think the reason is is like the characters in succession are so good because they take like one there's like one archetype arch to archetype of a person and then they exaggerate that right so it's like and you know that person and it's ridiculous but it works and my feeling with the character they
are the extremes of
that yeah was it was like a conglomeration of people it was it wasn't like so it was like you got a little vc in you or a little founder but the vc and founder archetype are very different
yeah
so you were start and then so it was kind of like well who which which are you like the characters seem too blended and they it didn't go enough and then i also felt like watching it like i knew a lot of the jokes because it's like you're on twitter and you know right you know like you you get it but it's like if you're someone who's not already in in this world i don't think like you don't understand
oh like
it didn't work as well and i was really surprised to see how high the critic score was and then it just made me think of like is this because it's like hollywood super left and it's like oh yeah like this is a
like get them
satire par yeah like boo like boo tech you know the the tech oligarchs are bad and that we're gonna that's why we love this so much because i don't think it's that good and then the tech people freaking love it because they're so like stupid to realize they're may being made fun of
you're being made fun of yeah i think it was so i had moments where i laughed a lot like there were some really funny things there's some really just like i don't even know if funny is a word but like just you know exaggerated craziness that i was like oh my god and then there were things i was like okay i started to think about things so it made me think about some certain things i thought it was you know i was playing the game of who is this and trying to figure it out and like you know and you can kinda it it it lends itself at least the two main characters like steve carell and the the one who's elon venice whatever like those were pretty obvious ones to me the other two were definitely more mishmash characters so it was a little less but you had you saw moments of jack dorsey you saw moments of zuck you saw like you could see the mark and superman you know
yeah superman felt like j cal an obvious j cal
yes a little j cal yeah there was a little chamath in some of them you're the it was like you could see it you could see who was who but they were and it was the director said that they were frankenstein's of different people they weren't just one
yeah okay
so that was accurate that's accurate assessment yeah they didn't make they did pull
you guys should be a critic i didn't
even oh you're great you you you had you nailed it you nailed it but i thought it was i still thought it was interesting but there were moments that i really like i was laughing of like like the con one was so funny to me but because you know those conversations happen yeah yeah like
but i think it also like i think it shines some light on some things of like okay this is a lot of power do we think about this very often probably not probably should
so we have yeah the one part i thought that i that i enjoyed but i thought was like underdeveloped or un was and i guess should we should we warn for spoiler alerts
yeah warning for spoiler alert
yeah spoiler alerts but when they got into the the the meta of the coup and it was like yes oh yeah of course we can do it yeah let's do it do it do it that was cool hilarious but also
like oh they really probably could do it
yeah well well so going back to our conversation of like the who's more powerful like the elon or trump like to me that is the most interesting aspect of like that i would wanna see explored so but like you got like ten minutes of planning a coup and then they moved on it was like yeah sure i'm like i'll do some brownouts and we'll you know like yeah but that i thought was more interesting of like the the politics versus the the tech but it was just so underdeveloped so you got like a few minutes of it but like i'd watch a whole movie about that like that to me is interesting
i totally agree because that's there was a point at which this movie jumps the shark it has like a good like it's going in an interesting direction
they do the murder the murder and
the car i wasn't going to say that part
oh spoiler alerts we don't
like that that is where like that's where you lost me because that was just ridiculous that one went way too far but like the yeah i think if they had just extended that part and like yeah i think there were ways that it would work it would have worked better that yeah that's what i'll say
but the i also felt like for this for this movie like one a lot of the writing sounded very fresh like yeah almost like it could have been a few months ago paying attention yeah
yeah yeah for sure which i did appreciate
like how easy was it to make this movie in terms of like you get the actors it's like on one site it's filmed on one like one site one weekend like could so in the i i feel bad critiquing people right like i don't like to play the role of critic it's like anyone who builds anything in the world and creates anything like good on you like if you don't like it move on and that's kind of my you know in in for the love of creation and builders and i love
that about you
a fan of succession well it's like well what's the point yeah you can sit here it's super easy to criticize anything yeah it's really hard to make a freaking movie it is it's really hard right like and you don't get the feedback so like my big like software is great because you can iterate and get feedback immediately yeah movies are really hard because you don't get feedback till you're done so that's true yeah so this was and i think that's why people like tv you can iterate over seasons you can kind of right
and you can develop characters
slow yeah
yeah you can develop characters
so like
that was the other part of it it was like almost too sometimes they felt too dimensional a little and that's where like that's especially in the second half that's towards the end it just got a little too i don't know pokey is the word
i guess yeah
but it so
i just don't like criticizing anyone who makes makes any art in the world if you are making an art good for you i'm makes me super happy i also found that i did not enjoy it i critiqued it the whole time while i'm watching it but guess what i keep talking about this week
i know so that's a what's the point of art
what's the point of movies like so it's
so i'd say to to my point like i would say it's worth a watch because it's definitely worth a watch and make make your own call and make your own call on it but if you're in this industry and you're in tech and you're you know you know these care like you know these people because you think about talk about them watch them on podcasts constantly you'll enjoy that aspect of the you know the guessing game and the oh you you kinda get where it came from and those kind of things
so yeah yeah yeah yeah it was fun it was like and if you don't like it like this i'm speaking to myself because i
yeah
go write your own movie go make your own and do better like do better no one's opportunity opportunity for a new parody about techno grads
there you go what a shout out this last thing which is your background today yeah this is from our friend chris co created so just a couple this is our two last things two years ago farcaster had just 2,000 weekly active users i made a piece with purple to mark that moment today i'm dropping the pro upgrade all 10 k pros plus the farcaster team free sd mint i think the mint is already over because it was only open for forty eight hours but this is wecast pro and so if you if you're not familiar with chris co created he's done quite a few of these where he kind of takes its art and tech really combined where he's pulling from the data and putting it into an art piece and it's just beautiful so there you go the arch is back and then this is to cleanse your time line line from galazio i just found this very satisfying that's it it's my last thing the power washing of an adirondack chair to cleanse your timeline there you go power wash your timeline alright beautiful and with that anything else adrian
no but congratulations chris on the mint and i love my background and i think the coolest thing about that mint was all like playing with the primitives of farcaster so it's the and he's been doing this for years but now you've got the inmini app and it was like it's a free mint if you engage so it was like like a recast then you get the free mint or you can purchase the high def version
right
and so i just i i think it's a really just interesting case study on just the the intersection of nfts and social and what you can do with it so super cool art but then also do you just think of the future of like oh what what that just seems like a primitive to me
yeah that and it's and it's really been fun to watch the the evolution of farcaster has been captured in his art which is really cool if you think about that so that's just a fun aspect of it so chris we appreciate you alright and with that okay what do we got going on okay so today i'll be on with humpty and ted and maybe dan i think i'm coming on after dan and talking about channels and that will be so follow check out humpty for that information as to where to watch that then that's at 11:30 eastern so a couple hours from now two hours from now and then at noon right here on gm farcaster channels you'll see the far next farcon piece from jesse and our interview with him and chintan talking about coinbase wallet social coming to coinbase wallet so check that out it's gonna be a lot of fun we'll be in the chat chatting and that's it and then that everybody happy friday happy friday happy friday chat
