2:28Speaker 1

4:15Speaker 1

first thing the wallet was apparently down for a minute it's back already but this was from ash money lol calm down and wait for a specific time because molly was a little concerned clearly and was sort of yelling gastro wallet is down and no one is responding hate to see this but this is not right someone should fix it very soon or at least say something about it okay so i would say that communication would have been helpful for sure ash was like just just wait till pacific time and i think that's the difference between like people who've been here a really long time having just a lot more like tolerance for pain than than those who might be newer and might be just like this is not right and like you're not wrong

5:07Speaker 0

yeah and expectations my expectations as well which is yeah you know like the the merkel team it's a it's a tiny it was like especially for a long time they've hired a lot more but it's like for a while

5:19Speaker 1

it was two

5:20Speaker 0

that really worked pacific like west coast hours even though they'd be it seemed like twenty four hour coverage just but really did yeah i just you we didn't we also didn't get a ton of traffic outside of us hours right so things wouldn't break

5:37Speaker 1

true true so we're we're a little more like used to it but you know not wrong we could do they could do a little bit better with the communication but anyway yeah it was down

5:47Speaker 0

mikado tagged it mikado tagged slok and said slok you up yet and guess what he said refresh said he's up

5:56Speaker 1

i'm up i'm up i got you

5:58Speaker 0

not the type of you up you wanna get sorry

6:02Speaker 1

sloke you up

6:05Speaker 0

while it's down

6:06Speaker 1

is your wife home

6:08Speaker 0

this is a problem because people are starting to earn generational wealth in their warblet

6:12Speaker 1

this is the problem and when it goes away it's very scary by the way there was also a bug that was showing what is it watch time i think was the one the one from 10 k that was showing is like a million plus when it's like not it's like $10 or something so yeah it was there's you know bugs are gonna happen this is this is

6:37Speaker 0

not a a bunch it's like with meme coins sometimes like the meme coin like i mean how do you can know the value of anything and everything gets kind of it's interesting that everything gets converted to usdc

6:50Speaker 1

right yeah to tell you like what it's yeah what the price is we used to have that problem with in metamask with polygon it would take matic and show it as eth and it would like give you very big false sense of wealth that was just incorrect hypolution forecaster network goes down alright dummy that's you know good point good point

7:14Speaker 0

i mean listen if if no one's using the network it's not gonna go down

7:18Speaker 1

right true story times when it's gone down when it's been really busy and and things have been quite bullish so there you go just consider it a a bull case alright moving on today and i'm gonna say this at the end of the show too we're trivia trivia today noon eastern 9am pacific and would love for you guys to play we have a $100 prize coming from reserve and we're very excited to also include question about them so here's your alpha go go check out reserve also more alpha if you're here all the time you you're gonna be able to have a very easy time with these questions so there you go if you if you are here all the time you should be playing trivia every week i'm looking at you and this

9:00Speaker 0

we played last last week it was really fun and and there's real prizes to win so everyone should play what's funny is in the waiting room there's a video that can play the video is you doing trivia from a past week so when i went in the waiting room last week my first instinct was like oh i'm late

9:21Speaker 1

yeah you're not late you're not late yeah

9:24Speaker 0

so if you don't be me

9:26Speaker 1

don't be don't be her you're you're not late and also yeah hopefully you're fine kbc if you've been on the timeline at all you'll also be able to it's from the past week first of all and if you're on the timeline regularly you'll also know a lot of these answers so the questions are coming from what we see in farcaster all the time so those are the two ways that you can definitely catch it but it's all things we definitely talked about on gm farcaster so there you go you guys have the alpha alright moving on leaderboard results from brad q inaugural top three six hundred tier so this is exciting so for those who may not remember or didn't see last week when the switch happened after the pro launch those funds were put towards the rewards pool as one thing that is going to be happening and the tiers increased and changed a little bit and as well as the way in which rewards are calculated so we now have a top three at 600 usdc so continuing on fittingly keckers is the first number one and her first win that is just perfection i just love this so much she has finished 11 or 12 more than we'd like to count all she had to do was take a trip to iceland to reach number one helping to pay for the travel there we go next up lv first week pays off big at number two arriving as a content creator jumping in with both feet and then what would the inaugural top three be without burt wurst heads up there will be less burt this coming week so a spot will open maybe we'll see we'll see i have faith in burt this is this was really good to see this top three i was very happy to see this top three

11:26Speaker 0

don't read that yet

11:28Speaker 1

okay okay go ahead okay you ready for the next part mhmm okay

11:30Speaker 0

i'm ready

11:31Speaker 1

actually before i do that i had to just shout this out from horsebacks because it's a great point huge w congrats elvie on the first w eight w nine one shot in the history of the leaderboard in other words when you hit 600 in rewards you do have to fill out a w nine or w eight for tax purposes and he did it in one shot so first first week we need your we need your tax info sir congratulations

12:01Speaker 0

you're on payroll you're on payroll now you're considered an independent contractor now on the merkel

12:08Speaker 1

team there you go this pungsten returns to the top five and matthew b gets closer to buying dan the dishwasher i like if you know you know each collecting $350 along with the other top tens so exciting stuff i thought it was 300 but maybe it was $3.50 down leaderboard shout out to miguelgerest.eth at number 19 for pro nft design we didn't get him to the top 10 but a $125 isn't peanuts darrel yeo and lauren messner hold on to twenty nine and thirty for $1.25 meme coveted 69 is taken by procoin that's funny and we welcome back woah jotty to our more competitive leaderboard than his last time here at number 71 time to step it up 3,000 now get rewards watch for new folks so very exciting and you know what's kind of funny is that i was further down on the leaderboard this week but made $5 more so there you go so that worked out good

13:11Speaker 0

there's a lesson in there

13:13Speaker 1

there's a lesson there i don't know what it is but it's good

13:16Speaker 0

so yeah apparently pugs in is

13:19Speaker 1

a trending topic topic i may have to switch i may have to wait

13:22Speaker 0

i'm checking i'm checking my i can't find the trending topics right now it's not nothing i i don't see any trending topics so make just

13:30Speaker 1

go to trending just go to trending he's there so hold on i might have to jump ahead a little bit to explain the pug's in a bubble my background yeah i might have to just jump just quickly hold on

13:46Speaker 0

i can't see the machine learning here or the trending topics for some reason

13:50Speaker 1

oh

13:51Speaker 0

but when i go to trending and just scan through there are quite a few mentions of pugsen so

13:58Speaker 1

so there you go yeah that's what i meant like i know yeah let's use pugs in this is a good question oops that's the wrong one we don't come back over here

14:08Speaker 0

yeah i don't mean to

14:09Speaker 1

i'm jumping ahead i'm jumping ahead it's okay i just had to get it ready we gotta explain the pugson of it all we can't just leave it hanging but i wasn't quite ready with that one i was gonna save that for a little bit but we're gonna we're gonna move ahead it's been an interesting night for pugson who woke up and went what is happening

14:31Speaker 1

i think he's in a different part of the world and while he was sleeping things got interesting so here's why pugsin is trending so he shared this yesterday

14:43Speaker 1

which was i really wish someone at boy would stop this from happening automatically so he's getting notifications because somebody was basically spamming him with the bots were spamming saying you know said pugs and said pugs so he was getting tagged in all these notifications and then where is my pfisto one oh here it is so there was a they got he got hit with the copypasta

15:14Speaker 1

bots and then what happened was that everyone decided to tag him in all the things so this is priyanka attempting to start a numbered thread on farcaster but this time you say pugson followed by a number she meant a number first but anyway i'll start one pugson so within this thread you'll see lots of pugson also this is another way to do it you can just type pugson over and over and over again which explains adrienne's current background so this was from pfista the copypasta bots got to pugson so we updated our spam filter to suppress notifications that are on the sparcaster spam list so that's good so pugson will only get notifications if non spam accounts say pugson hence why non spam accounts decided to say pugson and you'll only get notifications when legit accounts mention any of your keywords so that was a nice change from boy and in the process we get a new meme so there you go pugs and pugs and pugs and so very funny i like when things like that happen they're just amusing amusing to me so that was kinda fun alright back to our other things here we go i had to switch back to my other my other screen my other window alright so this also from priyanka let me group mini apps into folders please this is too chaotic and i could not agree more i need like a little game folder a little productivity folder i would be able to you i would use probably a lot more of these apps if i was more in tune with where they were or what they were so please folder of some sort or some kind of organization in some way that you find for appealing block eye but somebody somebody do something define or do something gonna happen devs do something it will

17:14Speaker 0

i think folders i i think folders are in the same category as hashtags

17:19Speaker 1

yeah probably

17:20Speaker 0

which is like humans trying to create organization when we need to outsource to all the ai

17:29Speaker 1

that works too but it needs to that's what like however whatever way in which you'd like that to happen

17:35Speaker 0

us right give us an out be like here's your most used mini app see something

17:40Speaker 1

something there's one you

17:41Speaker 0

have to organize ago and maybe you wanna check it out again

17:45Speaker 1

i reorganize mine on a regular basis but it's a lot it's just a lot and then yeah so please

17:52Speaker 0

right ability to just sort

17:53Speaker 1

a to z

17:53Speaker 0

like a to like

17:55Speaker 1

that works too i take that like favorite ones and then a to z would be fantastic that would be helpful as well so some kind of organization please the people want the organization

18:08Speaker 0

also why i don't see gm forecaster in your minneapolis priyanka

18:12Speaker 1

18:25Speaker 1

she has not reorganized but it is there so very important it is there we don't wanna we don't wanna shout her you know we don't wanna shame her if unnecessarily we will shame but just not unnecessarily yeah so there sorry priyanka moving on this from linda just got my devcon devconnect ticket for november in buenos aires buenos aires has been one of my favorite places i've ever been met so many wonderful crypto people there and excited to go back i believe that's where poap mister poap is from as well so i know this was one that you really wanted to go to any are you i know you mentioned it at some point devconnect in general so is that something you're thinking about or no

19:16Speaker 0

20:35Speaker 1

i'm

20:35Speaker 0

gonna see we shame people but people can shame us back we're and then we're gonna start to buy mugs

20:43Speaker 1

shame me

20:43Speaker 0

and then maybe if we sell mugs i can send myself to argentina

20:47Speaker 1

soon soon

20:51Speaker 1

i know i feel bad you have no idea how how ready it almost is and i've had little tweaks that i wanted to do before i put it out in the world and i just need to get over myself alright this from moneri if you have the coinbase wallet beta you'll see a six tab shipping this week any guesses on what it is and notifications was my guess and notifications was the answer so if you update your coinbase wallet so if you don't have auto update go into your app store update coinbase wallet and you will see the notifications are now in there the little bell so i just did a little update and yep that was it so more things coming to the wallet soon soon sig wider is that just gonna be up on the screen now for the rest of the show

21:38Speaker 0

did i just put that back up

21:40Speaker 1

yes you did

21:41Speaker 0

i did not mean to that was sorry i'm just gonna periodically fear to god not no i was i'm literally checking to see if my why my coinbase wallet didn't update because i have auto updates on

21:54Speaker 1

by the way i

21:54Speaker 0

must have that's

21:56Speaker 1

the first one adrian adrian will like just be multitasking at all times i'm like

22:01Speaker 0

i know i i'm half casting

22:03Speaker 1

i said i said coinbase wallet needed to update and she's like oh let me go check for that

22:08Speaker 0

well i because i checked for that sixth tab and i didn't get it yesterday and i was like oh but

22:13Speaker 1

that's weird that's odd yeah check make sure it's updated moving on this from garrett drana just found out i'm marked as spam on farcaster this is such a frustrating ux to be considered a spammer until proven innocent and then dwr said you're not you're not and garrett said thanks dan i was spam labeled zero earlier today in the label spam dot json you know helps when you can look at that before nowhere to look for that before neri recasted me and i got 10 followers so this is kind of the stuff that peachy talks about all the time so if you think you are spam labeled go follow peachy and just like see what she says about all this because she's got it unlocked yeah or get a job

23:01Speaker 0

at get a job at base and have an area recast you and then you're golden

23:04Speaker 1

and then you're golden as well yeah and this this is interesting yeah yeah

23:10Speaker 0

obviously i'll be honest i don't actually stay too focused on the labeling pg does that for me

23:16Speaker 1

yes exactly

23:17Speaker 0

i think is it still the the minus one zero plus one

23:23Speaker 1

yes yes

23:24Speaker 0

like categories zero to two or something

23:27Speaker 1

i think something like that yeah zero one two and i think everyone must start at zero is my guess because that's what anurag is saying here most of our team who get started on farcaster today are marked as spam garrett drina is an amazing ds data scientist at base who is helping us solve issues like this which is interesting so there you go he was doing a little research there in the process

23:54Speaker 1

and now i think he's all set now so if you're having the same issue like i said best thing you can do is follow peachy tag her

24:05Speaker 0

yeah there should be like a

24:07Speaker 1

you have a better better way to do this yeah

24:10Speaker 0

yeah i get the kind of like you have to kind of prove yourself a little mhmm because yeah

24:18Speaker 1

but there's

24:18Speaker 0

a lot

24:18Speaker 1

of bots

24:19Speaker 0

there's a lot of

24:20Speaker 1

gamers yeah

24:20Speaker 0

right

24:21Speaker 1

so

24:21Speaker 0

can you do an indication of like spam label plus time of account like when did you create your account and yeah if you're within your first month like who cares what your spam label is

24:33Speaker 1

yeah

24:33Speaker 0

oh although i guess that's also all the new i mean if you are a bad actor too

24:37Speaker 1

if you're a bad actor you're gonna yeah it's a problem so this is why we can't have nice things

24:42Speaker 0

this is why there's data scientists looking at all other things beyond just simple when you create your account

24:50Speaker 1

yeah this is why we can't we can't have nice things so hopefully what will it'll be interesting to see how coinbase wallet attacks us because i'm assuming that's why they're have somebody looking at that sort of thing mhmm so that'll be interesting to see how that turns out if they do something different and i'm guessing this guy might

25:15Speaker 0

it would be funny if this guy is not even a real guy he's an ai and coinbase wallet is trying to harden the system by bringing in and then he comes in he scams us all but it's he scaps us all my i'm sorry just kidding dre dre dre what was his name

25:31Speaker 1

this poor guy he's like what we just well

25:34Speaker 0

of course i'm kidding and welcome to vargaster and welcome to vargaster help us make it better for new people

25:40Speaker 1

exactly alright just pulling up more lengths because i'm trying to do this something new where i don't have them all open just to make sure we don't rug or something so we're getting there okay hold on here we go oops it would help if i share it we had a few interesting things happen yesterday too around some of the censorship stuff we were talking about yesterday so this was from eliza aos over on twitter has been banned so unprecedented x ban against eliza a i 16 z sean makes magic and eliza os all accounts suspended did x decide to take out eliza to stop the growth of botnets maybe also i heard there were they were doing some kind of big launch or something so that there was a bit of suspicion that maybe somebody got them banned i don't know interesting so this is from sean makes magic well i'm a farcaster man now so i mean this is one way to onboard people just look for the panelists have you

27:03Speaker 0

been he could have hang he could have gone to blue sky

27:08Speaker 1

true

27:08Speaker 0

he chose he chose farcaster

27:10Speaker 1

yeah i mean surprised that's yeah not surprising

27:16Speaker 1

john makes magic was not going to blue sky but yeah so glad glad you're here but also yeah what is going on like why i'm curious to see how this works out and how long to get it back we saw this happen with jake fairly recently as well mhmm so if you're over on twitter and should you ever find yourself banned over there if you're watching us over there right now come on over to farcaster but you should come over to farcaster anyway have it all set up ahead of time that way you don't have to you know give a little backup plan

27:48Speaker 0

yeah a lot of people get banned and then get unbanned

27:51Speaker 1

yeah

27:52Speaker 0

but it's not actually it's never happened to me so i can't speak from first person experience but i can imagine it's a good feeling when your how you communicate and connect with people and yeah like like show up in the world just gets taken away

28:07Speaker 1

especially if it's your business yeah it's your business too like it's not even you know it's not just about personal i don't have i know i can't ship those today yeah exactly and it's crazy i've seen this you know we've seen this happen with a lot of different people for a lot of different reasons especially in crypto so but welcome sean makes magic i know you've been over here for a bit but yeah now you have more reason to be and if you're this would be a great ad on twitter as well have you been banned on twitter it'd be like like an like a personal injury attorney ad have you been banned on twitter there's a solution we have a solution for you

28:47Speaker 0

i wanna hear

28:47Speaker 1

the barcaster come over to farcaster and this from jimmy no rules okay i have to go back hold on we gotta go back a couple i have make this make sense it started with i believe nikki and i'm gonna follow you nikki i believe it started with nikki what if your money worked twenty fourseven you had full control no bank ever said no again that's not a dream it's defi and then we had android sixteen say what if your money was vulnerable twenty fourseven you had full risk every bank said no that's not a dream that's crypto and then jimmy no rules coming in with the extra funny what if your toast always landed butter side down you had to fight a goose before every meeting every vending machine was out of snacks but took your money anyway that's not a dream that's tuesday i forgot to like this one so

32:27Speaker 0

okay so obviously you're talking i'm going to do my research google windows soda holy cow it was a thing

32:35Speaker 1

it was a thing

32:35Speaker 0

i've seen this bat so i saw the battle the duel and i was so excited for it like i this is what i love for like i'm here for this on farcaster

32:43Speaker 1

this is so fun

32:44Speaker 0

my nerves yeah battling obviously i thought someone just like the weird minds are just like yeah well two things yeah we'll just put them together apparently windows soda was a thing but also it also makes me think in the age of ai going back to what we talked about yesterday with a rock camera was it really a thing i'm like what was the date on this image like was it pre ai anyway right sorry yeah

33:08Speaker 1

i wasn't sure if it was real i was like is this real

33:11Speaker 0

travis is real but are people voting today like i don't know i don't wanna tip i don't wanna influence people's votes

33:19Speaker 1

there is a vote there's a vote happening hold on let me find oh i'll tell you who it is here it is i was like where is that cast that had the voters there's a panel of amazing designers and oh okay who are voting so light and flood and early range sinuous sadell snail and pugson who are voting on this so they're gonna decide between these two and voters please comment here which one you like best but also you can give your you could you know you could influence the situation if you want to so waiting for them to apparently to make their comments but there you go so you can learn more from blank space post right here if you want to see who ended up winning well

34:07Speaker 0

obviously i'm not gonna pick a favorite it's like picking a favorite child they're both

34:12Speaker 1

they're both really good

34:13Speaker 0

honestly broadcaster designer no

34:15Speaker 1

i like them both i really do like them both so i don't know i couldn't i'm glad i'm i'm glad i don't have to decide is what i will say i'm really glad i don't have to decide all right speaking of fun events that are happening it is berlin blockchain week coming up and okton's going to be there it's hap actually it's happening right now i believe and so you can learn more about that i did casas into the okton channel so learn more about where they're going to be this is a blog their blog post with all the details of where they're going to be and afrochix is also going to be there and this is from her the last time i was in berlin was for a european champs heading back there to create video content at the dacc discovery day led by vitalik eth co hosted by octant so that's going to be really fun that's today actually it's happening right now i think it's silent green berlin and this is hosted by octant but there's a whole bunch of other things happening this week so go check that out if you're in berlin i think that's gonna be really fun

35:23Speaker 0

she's not the greatest story

35:26Speaker 1

i know

35:26Speaker 0

right they're like oh

35:29Speaker 1

i know i know it's so cool

35:30Speaker 0

professional triple jumper slash crypto content maker and go by the way was that a picture of todi oh no that was i i get them confused when they're jumping they look so similar

35:41Speaker 1

i was like what callback i think it's a

35:47Speaker 0

i you know what that was you're right that is naomi in that picture but for a second i thought it was todie

35:53Speaker 1

very very close similar form clearly yeah for those who might have missed it tony during the procoin little challenge where you had to had to shout out your favorite farcaster he did this video where he actually did attempted a triple jump while holding his camera it didn't go well so but it was really really funny so go check that out if you haven't seen that but it was really good so i it took me a second i was not following where you were going with that and then it clicked i'm like oh callback very funny very very funny so let me pull up a few more things i had a few more things to talk about okay i'm trying this new thing where i don't have all the tabs open because it's been killing my computer but then that takes a minute for them to actually open up so one moment how's that going it's a work in progress it's not going great we need other solutions like fewer things is probably it it's not happening it's only getting bigger this is from an area and i thought this was a great great point here's what creators need to start earning on other social platforms tiktok you need 10 ks followers plus 100 ks views at for in thirty days plus there are geographic restrictions on twitter 5,000,000 impressions in three months meaning tens of thousands of followers on youtube one k subs subscribers and three k watch hours or 10,000,000 shorts views so by the way if you're watching us on youtube or even on our mini app could you go over to youtube and just subscribe if you're not already subscribed because we're like this close to actually being able to earn on youtube i don't think it's gonna be worth gonna be much but you know it's nice it's a nice nice thing to have so that was what but then what she ended with the with the new coinbase wallet we want to start to enable creators to earn their terms instantly so that would be interesting to see what they're doing over there we know that what farcaster is doing at the protocol level with the rewards i don't know if coinbase wallet is thinking something additional in terms of incentives to use coinbase wallet so if you have access to beta i would you know make sure you're checking it out and getting in there but interesting so i did think that was interesting this was really funny so last night i've been i've been doing my my son does all the new york times puzzles like every day loves them really good at them kicks my butt on a regular basis like i suck so i was showing him mini word and thinking oh maybe this will get him to want to join my sister and this is really funny so this is from last night just did mini word with the kiddo yeah that first clue was a tad embarrassing if you played mini word yesterday you know what i'm talking about and he thinks she must be cheating zhu best i've ever he said this is what my son said best i've ever done a new york times one is thirty two seconds like one time no way zhu gets that every day this might be the thing that gets him on farcaster finally just trying to beat zhu so the reason i was saying this too was that there is something about the competition part of this right to have by the way zu said tell him i believe in him and he actually dropped a i can't find it he dropped a video also with him completing it and he does do it that fast so what do you know he's just that fast so it's quite impressive

39:42Speaker 1

but

39:43Speaker 0

i think that type that fast crystal drum

39:45Speaker 1

it is very hard to type that fast

39:46Speaker 0

by the way the new york times mini like i can you can play that on your phone that's faster so

39:52Speaker 1

yeah

39:52Speaker 0

there's it i think it's just the kind of the keyboard inside of a mini app i remember matthew created like some game like the it was like the family feud style game

40:05Speaker 1

yeah

40:05Speaker 0

that people used to play

40:06Speaker 1

and he

40:06Speaker 0

had the app something that was also timed and i remember getting frustrated with the keyboard

40:11Speaker 1

mhmm so it's quite impressive it is quite impressive how quickly he does this and it really made me think about though the power of the social graph and being able to see who you're competing against and i feel like that is a little bit of a superpower for farcaster that we we all kind of see but i don't think it's fully unlocked yet and i think there is a big thing to that so playing these games where you're competing with your friends like people do this already right show me your time this and that but having this public leaderboard where you don't have to you know do it sort of privately send it in a group chat whatever and you may even get rewarded for being at the top of leaderboard same thing with farcade being able to challenge friends being able to see who within your friends you know having that special that separate leaderboard that's just for people that you're friends with as well as a global one i think it's a huge unlock i really do so shout out to the game devs

41:12Speaker 0

we didn't talk about apple announcements this week

41:14Speaker 1

nor do i yeah nor do i

41:17Speaker 0

really want to but if you watched kind of just the few minute overview of like this is like these are the things they were updating one of the things they're showing is in group messaging like in your group chats just yes the ability they were like we're adding polls this is all native like native to so it's like chat with your friends create a poll hey where do you wanna go to dinner tonight things like like and then and then immediately adding in apple cash it's like pay your friends so it's it looked so similar to what we know as the farcaster experience except this is all walled garden corporate driven all coming from apple

42:01Speaker 1

exactly

42:02Speaker 0

in their ecosystem no green you know don't get those green circles in no green bubbles allowed but no green bubbles also not you're gonna be limited with innovation because you have kind of one company working on it not an invitation for anyone to build so as much as the polish i'd say around farcaster isn't quite there yet because guess what it's brand new so like yeah the keyboard's a little slower to type on but it's like the vision for what apple was showing it was like the same as farcaster except now you've got ponder polls

42:38Speaker 1

and telegram the other thing that kept coming to my head when they were talking about that part with the messaging i was like telegram telegram has like some powerful features in there that apple imessage just doesn't so right

42:51Speaker 0

it seems like they're chasing they're copying telegram i don't really

42:54Speaker 1

but i mean they could be cap they could be copying farcaster i suppose that's

42:58Speaker 0

i doubt it

42:59Speaker 1

possible there might be comments yeah i don't think they're and i'm sure a lot of this they they are so far out that i'm sure a lot of this innovation was in the process and it takes a while to get it right but yeah it very interesting to see great point great point so you've already got it with farcaster you didn't even have to go anywhere

43:23Speaker 0

i mean this is what i'm most interested in which is like kind of like who wins is it like the inside out technology coming from the banks and the big corporations and existing giants or is it kind of outside in coming from crypto and and what you start seeing is like these visions starting to look the same like x is in wants to integrate payments for everywhere polymarket for prediction polls okay but x is a corporation and and but it's adding all this stuff

43:53Speaker 1

right won't make those choices so they are making the choices as opposed to random person on farcaster creating a mini app that you know like podder

44:06Speaker 0

that's where everybody is right that's where everybody is and they have tons of i mean just the the ai data centers that elon's building and with grok so it's kind of like what what happens faster is it existing networks that's adding in all of these features or is it kind of coming from the the bottom up and does farcaster win over time or another so

44:33Speaker 1

i think for i mean i think there's potential for farcaster to win over time because of the openness and the apis and being able to iterate a little bit faster like because you don't have all of that corporate structure to work through number one and number two you have more brainpower at work really if you think about it because you've got all these devs creating all these things and using ai as part of that to do that so that's a ton of brainpower happening and creativity that you're not gonna see as much on twitter simply because of the cost and the and the prohibitions around the apis and things like that and things like we just saw with sean makes magic you know and and the eliiza os team like great example like you could get cut off at any time so your incentives to build over there are not as are there are some limitations and there's some

45:32Speaker 0

i mean there's an incentive risk they can incent you there's risk but yeah exactly yeah

45:37Speaker 1

yeah there's big risk whereas if you build something over here even if the merkel team is like you're nerfed on the farcaster app you can go elsewhere so anyway just if you're building this is the reason and here's some more reasons so my last three casts are all about farcaster love from various people so this is from kaufman who is an independent journalist and has been here i don't know maybe six months now at the i don't know if it's even been that long it feels like forever but it probably hasn't been that long this is from coffin maintaining a steadfast commitment to free speech is vital to its continued growth there's a real degree of civility here the easy explanation for that is that the community is still small so people are polite in the same way iceland is civil or country club is civil but i suspect there's another dimension to it there's money on the line here and acting rude is a big bad way to get people to want to give you any good point show me the incentive i'll show you the outcome maybe hopefully that insulates this place from needing to crack down on the kind of bigotry or harmful posting you see on other platforms but either way let substack be the model for farcaster better to allow some bio posting and let the social marketplace sort it out than to step into the quagmire of censorship according to shifting social norms and this was a quote cast of sean makes magic number one reason to use farcaster and showing his account suspended so really yeah that is one big thing and then i loved this framing from cassie the reason i draw parallels to the hobby computer industry is because the same kind of niche users user base exists people who are willing to put up with super leaky abstractions exposed wires and rough edges to make a spreadsheet or draw a circle much like apple's vision of the bicycle for the mind of personal computing crypto needs its own story to tell and money isn't compelling enough that's just an application if you were to distill the unique attributes of crypto and then amplify the soul that soul distillation into a single message as what is the ultimate purpose of crypto you would say that it gives you autonomy freedom to move to interact across borders with a unified store of trust if personal computers took off because they were the bicycle for the mind crypto will take off as the passport for the mind and i loved that phrasing so thank you cassie it also reminded me of her far con talk about like personal computing through history it was fantastic so that was from last year not this past year so amazing and then this from triumph to end to cap us off today a whole lot of you have become people i can't imagine not seeing in my feed every day yet sometimes i'm reminded people do log out and not log back in choosing to disappear into the abyss of the internet need to stop taking it for granted many things are more fragile than we care to admit once again i miss picnic it's down here

48:55Speaker 1

so picnic if you're out there and you happen to be watching this come on back yeah so what did i miss

49:03Speaker 0

i'm figuring i don't know should we pour one out for people who disappear

49:08Speaker 1

pour one out for people who disappear

49:09Speaker 0

that is actually one of the worst things about social is true you don't know like you some people announce their exit like it's you know some people announce their departure we make fun of them but we appreciate it then we know yeah

49:22Speaker 1

because then we know where you went

49:23Speaker 0

yeah yeah what else would you ask me

49:28Speaker 1

i love the party disappear but they don't really disappear like they they say they're leaving and then they're back most of the time the people who tell us they're departing do come back just funny and the ones who don't don't don't come back the irish exiters usually oftentimes are never seen again and then sometimes there's just the slowly people start stop posting they get busy with other things you know and then sometimes they circle around it's like cyclical

49:57Speaker 1

yeah so other thoughts anything else today that

50:05Speaker 0

no but have i told you i love broadcaster

50:09Speaker 1

i do as well which is good since i've decided to make it my whole personality

50:16Speaker 1

so my brother it was funny when i was at my brother's which i'm gonna be back there this weekend he's like do you i was wearing i think a couple times i wore my gm farcaster shirt or other crypto things and he's like do you have any other clothes no and i'm like no why do i need other clothes yeah and speaking of if you love farcaster just gonna remind you one more time today gm farcaster trivia at 12pm noon eastern and it's gonna be a lot of fun come play chance to win a $100 or split the winnings so if you love farcaster as much as we do you'll gonna do great at this it's gonna be it's gonna be very simple for you yeah i tried to make a couple of the questions a little bit harder this week because i was too easy last week so but they still have a ramp up so you'll be okay till you get towards the end and if you watch this show you'll be okay right through the end

51:21Speaker 1

so there we go alright usually it's i told you i love you yeah no she said have i told you i love farcaster it wasn't about me mikado it wasn't about me was woje nerfed not per se he wasn't nerfed no he just he he is no longer working with merkel if that's what you mean so he's back on the leaderboard

51:51Speaker 1
