adrienne, nounishprof · GM Farcaster

i don't think i ever told anybody that we had a show today i people know people surely know that but i literally didn't post about it so i'm gonna go do that right this second because i did not cast about it yesterday it's all you know why i set it up too far in advance so you do your notice i'm gonna do my notice because yeah nobody knows we're here because we did not tell them isn't that hilarious yeah because i usually don't set them up that far in advance and i did this time and then i forgot to post about it so yeah we're gonna do a little different live now

get in here

on youtube or our video

while we're waiting for people to come i will oh come on

our bestie mika knows

we love you knows

brad q knows he he announced it for us

thank you thank you brad

we probably i was just in our in our green room talking and i wanted to tell you that we should try to do a short show because there's so many things i wanna talk to you about in private today sorry people sorry we've got things

to talk we're gonna we gotta cut it we're gonna stick to oh i cannot believe i've i have been really off my game this week i'm really messed up from the start of class which i have really messed up so it's just you know not going great not going great

this week most of our country actually starts school now pre like in august yeah i know that's like and maybe it's like colleges were always a little earlier than all the high schools started doing offering ap courses so then they shifted earlier our school is proudly a post labor day starting school

i gotta tell you i think that's better yes it's the best

like but summer what down here

down here it doesn't matter that much because we don't do a whole lot with labor day and stuff like that so it's not as big of a deal but up north yes i totally agree with that absolutely okay let's get started but let's give a quick little preview of the new sound effects that you have to those you know very few who are already in here before we let everybody else know we're live

i was listening to tbpn and they do sound effects they're kinda i don't know if you've

and we thought they were kinda like we always used to do sound effects on on spaces all the time

and like gongs and claps and cheers

we had like air horns like woody was famous for doing woody super tight woody doing the air horn all those things and we've never done it in here because it felt a little

i i just lost your volume

you know why because i touched the thing by accident and it turned off

you're a mess

just like i did yesterday i'm a mess i'm a

freaking mess wait what what say the word you were gonna say you don't don't do them here because they are cringe cringe yeah but i like

cringe so go for it okay mama's had enough i mean right that's a new artifact you may you may hear that on occasion

that is i need something that's not that's like when adrienne's face lol timestamps yes it's like i can give the face i can be a little eye rolly and skeptical but then you're gonna push me to enough and then i also added this one

token do what would the token do what would the token do

so like i

cannot wait for i really wish dan was here this morning because i would love we're we're fully background all about him we've got the sound and board ready for him dan we just need you that's the only thing we're missing right now

does dan listen to our show does anyone know we don't because i have a message i need to get out to him

come on the show yeah he's not checking his dms he's very busy looking at these beautiful backgrounds he is he's he's busy alright we're gonna get started i'm gonna let's let's kick this off now that we everybody knows we're actually here today okay

gm farcaster it is wednesday august 20 and you are here with nounish prof and adrienne for i'm not even gonna say it because i don't think it's gonna be twenty nine minutes but we can give it a shot because adrienne would like us to get done early because she has things that she doesn't wanna tell you people that she needs to talk to me about but anyway we have so many i don't know the timeline feels very fun right now to me but i i don't know there's i don't know anyway i'm having an off week but the timelines have been a little bit of fun so our backgrounds you may may look familiar this is not any this is not a photo we took but our friend dan did and this is how it started dwr already know my photo tonight is going to annoy the hell out of phil and here it is here's the photo the photo came out and that is in our backgrounds right now in the beautiful lovely new england landscape and then we got this from phil congrats happy for you nice but by the way the kid's wearing the the nantucket red pants too in the photo which is kind of perfect and then this from phil to follow it up might have to start west coast posting just to clap back at dan's new england nancy myers fantasies

and then i love good night down eight thirty nines it's not slop our boy might be just the next martha stewart martha stewart let's fucking go

okay so i don't

know what's going on with dan but he's having a lovely summer he's having a lovely vacation back back in his home state oh that's

also if you haven't seen the martha stewart documentary on netflix go watch or hbo or whatever it's on don't i know what i actually don't know what it's on but go watch that it so good

one of my favorite have you ever seen the movie the other woman no if you haven't you you should it's hilarious and it's cameron diaz is in it anyways there's a moment where they're talking about martha stewart they're like she took that like a boss it was just

what her sentencing

the yeah yeah yeah she didn't she didn't whine she took you like a boss i'm like

i mean listen it it's like yeah you gotta see the documentary she's a beast

she's totally totally like yeah

yeah like she has the classic like whatever they called this steve like your own perception like you know your own reality bubble yeah like we all need

those amazing sounds right sounds about right okay that can be a little dangerous depending on if you're you know

the free world yeah if you're just a random celebrity that's fine

oh the fact okay i love these casts because i didn't totally understand what was going on like what exactly is the dynamic but it's still funny and anyone can kinda jump in and that's kinda the yeah

it got it got really it's a funny little i like you know watching them kinda go at each other it's been it's been fun i also love this from ramsey i just happened to see this this morning it was really funny dan and v looking at twitter back in 2020 i'm gonna build my own twitter with crypto and hookers well not hookers but we're gonna have thirst traps and we're not even we don't even have many of those really don't like our version of thirst trap background see the backgrounds

landscapes landscapes the nature channel goes off

pops just pops off

have you seen mountain monday or water wednesday on monday

i enjoy tree tuesday quite a bit by the way i did and i didn't pull this and i should have priyanka's trees yesterday beautiful on tree tuesday but anyway yeah i just thought that was really funny ramsey you crack me up this from now let's get into some actual actual news maybe come on you can do it i know you can i love it when this happens i'm telling you i've had quite a week so it's it's it is continuing at this moment alright here we go here's what's going on new token pages tap into a token to get a summary of everything you need to know to decide whether to buy pages now show you detailed price charts people who've also bought launcher and creator so launcher being something like clanker or what's that what's that pill one pump.fun i just couldn't think for a second it's a pill one and then creator being the person who actually launched the token which right now pretty much you're just seeing that from clanker quick links to x website and other social easy buy sell send buttons lore summary there's also i think there were links to like coingecko and dexscreener and things like that so and then shout out to blockheim for significantly leveling up this page from the design design looks great there are some little icons which they haven't given us a legend for these icons but you'll see like there's a shield and we still don't know what the shield actually means but there's like you'll see the pump dot fun little pill thing you'll see the clanker you'll see this little thing for clanker so it's looking good it's looking really good it's incredibly useful and then you can go right to coingecko or dexscreener or you can just sell buy do all the things share you can share it also i don't know if you've noticed and i don't think we talked about this when you type in the token name now it pops up it pops up like a thing to fill in the token and to give you the information so that's interesting so all these little interesting things happening

oh come on why are you doing this to me today oh and this from b creator information on these pages come from clanker if you launch a clanker you're automatically shown as the creator of the token if your token isn't clanker we're working on an alternate way to verify ownership coming soon but also why would you launch it anywhere else if it's on base like i don't even understand why you're looking at anything but clanker so just a thought i'm sorry sorry zora but not the same not the same oh you're muted sorry what'd you say

we are so off our game i just said maybe you wanna vibe code your own smart contracts and launch your own tokens

no you do not no you really don't wanna do that

i mean ai can just do it for you so why would you wanna give any fees to clanker

i didn't pull i'm

sorry i'm

i didn't pull the the cast from lobster mindset and i should have where she said she used to audit contracts and she even gets contracts audited that she writes of course like she's not like so if you are vibe coding a smart contract go ahead say it stop it mama's had enough just stop it stop it don't do that just don't do that that goes in the don't do this channel do not do none just just use clanker just make your life easy and this from dwr upgraded everything happening oh i got it i've got it pulled to talk about yeah okay yeah yeah we'll talk about it upgraded token pages with social signals more improvements on the road map farcaster wallet any asset any chain instant low cost and reliable swaps so a lot of upgrades happening with the wallet and really enjoying seeing all that come together which has changed my thoughts on like where what i'm doing with my students next week when i give them wallets so i'm all over the place on that this from horsefacts more wallets should spend multiple years building a sufficiently decentralized protocol and short text social media app great way to get user feedback actually true like very true yeah so it's been i mean you're gonna you're gonna learn a lot more when you're actually talking to users and i think a lot of a lot of products and i'm not you know this is not just wallets it's any anybody you it's really hard to find enough people to give you enough feedback to make it useful so mhmm i you know this is the this is the bonus of building on farcaster as well even if you're not the actual you know dan and vy

this was uncle horsefacts he's being this is his dry humor don't go try to start a sufficiently decentralized protocol just i think the point was build on farcaster

get you build on farcaster

that is something we say all the time though when we're trying to explain like what are the benefits of farcaster just like the ability to it's like get that get your first thousand users get people who are actively engaged with your product get feedback

so but you can't beat it you can't beat it and they're active they're actively engaged they are great people who give you feedback because they're building themselves so it's yeah it's a perfect little incubator ecosystem if you will speaking of feedback looking for input on opt in customizable token alerts do you use alerts in other apps' wallets do you typically like to set an alert when a token reaches a certain price percentage change market cap your p and l maybe limit orders i don't know it's this on me this whole thing feels yes to cryptocoded like i i assume i'm assuming he has lots of thoughts on these issues so let dan know if you like alerts like this is this something you would use and what exactly you'd like to see so because you know they they do the things profies have now been transferred into custody this was last week they had done the protocol fees and now the pro fees have also been transferred so you can see the transaction here and so you can see transparently where everything's going which is nice they don't have to do that so thank you they probably do that just to keep from people yelling about the fact that they didn't do it so tell them what's going on

yeah people will yell that it's in custody

yeah exactly and so they explained why yeah they explained why this from joeblau the fact that farcaster this is exactly what we're talking about the fact that farcaster gives you access to the haptic engine in mini apps is amazing even apple doesn't do that on web so very cool more reasons to build here first really if you're building like any kinda app like even if you're just building like a random app for something that you're like gonna put in the apple store build it here first like try it out you're gonna get lots of feedback and it's gonna be way better when you finally get it launched and you'll have existing users yeah launch as a mini app first

like prototype as a mini app yeah get people to try it do like the light version there's friction in creating a mini app right so that's like the it's and and i think every every month it gets easier every quarter it gets easier like the dev tools get better these standards get better llms start to learn yeah documentation so it does get easier but once you get past that like okay i know how to do the the mini app setup yeah why would you like it's i mean if you're a dev i'm assuming this is something

yeah and i'm assuming if you're a dev you can i mean this could be yes it's there's some friction but there's gonna be a lot less friction than creating a full on app for the app store so don't you think

oh fine but a website you can i mean i think the the difference was you can create a web like a web app but yeah what is the likelihood you're gonna get someone who's gonna see it in their phone not on desktop like click on your website get booted out to safari and play around like people don't wanna leave their feed so yeah you kind of like just grab their attention they will be more likely to open a mini app

absolutely yeah so do that first here this from linda check out this video i just published on pine tree i asked on twitter x if anyone who is negative on crypto would be interested in doing a livestream with me to discuss we talk about negative stereotypes in crypto and i used it as an opportunity to share the positive things farcaster is working on too i have not watched this yet have you

no i haven't watched it

i know i have to go i just saw it this like i think this morning i didn't even see it until early this morning so definitely have to go check this out and i'm excited to see you know linda diving in i did watch one chat she had with i can't remember who it was about farcaster they're not on farcaster they're in crypto and trying to get them to onboard and they had a lot of pushback and it was interesting like it's you know when you have to explain something to somebody else and when you have to you know especially if you're trying to persuade you get better at it by doing it because when you have to you know anytime that's how you learn like that's the best way to learn is have to explain it to somebody else i've learned more about well i've been teaching blockchain because i have to explain it to somebody else mhmm and i usually find the friction points and realize like oh this is not ready for normies this is not and that's been you know each semester it gets better it get last semester was way better probably one of the best and easiest that i've had to teach things of like swaps and things like that because coinbase wallet had done a lot of work even before they've it wasn't the beta version it was just the regular one as opposed to what i used to do with metamask and da da da da so it's it's getting easier so mhmm nothing against metamask i still use you every day so it's interesting but i i wanna go give this a watch and if you guys watched it and you're in the chat let us know what you thought this is a new little fun little app kondo is far from perfect this is from jake but it's useful i expected i would want to use it weekly but i find myself using it multiple times a day cleaning your wallet with kondo is like cleaning anything else it's much easier to do small frequent cleanups than to have to deal with a daunting mess so i did try this out yesterday and it worked for me once and then the second time i tried it got it it kept failing on me so i think it's still a little bit of a work in progress but interesting mike our friend mike had also created wallet sweeper which i had never even had a chance to try and he said if you like wallet sweeper you're going to love kondo use this instead thank you jake for putting together a killer mini app for this use case that was funny he's like don't use that because i was like oh i gotta go find this is exactly what i did i went to mike's profile because i was like oh i gotta go find his and then i saw this and i'm like

oh exactly use mine i think it was one of the one of the steve's think it's steve one of the one of the steve's with a manny p f p i don't know who you are i can't remember if it was steve or steve okay just stop

one of the steve's one of the sdv steve's

ago was asking for a batch swap it was like right you know like a a duster clean out a clean a dustbuster and i pointed him to mike's app and i was like oh mike and and mike was like hey just to be fair i did kind of code it on it was like a little side project on a weekend wasn't fully like didn't put a tie it was like a prototype so i think it's funny he's now

yeah he's like just go use somebody else's

but classic classic engineer move we are we are not salespeople

yeah just go use that one we don't do that

in new york

by the way so this is such a clean look and the name is a reference to marie kondo obviously spark joy that kind of thing so i love the thinking there of like as i was going through my tokens i'm like no i'm keeping that and keeping that and keep you know because some of them spark joy or i think they you know different use cases or whatever but also it's a book i feel i know i know i'm gonna go into a conspiracy theory but phil what have you been doing the past few days is what i'd like to know because it feels a little phil coded at least in the naming at least in the naming so i don't know just saying

phil and jake had a lovely back and forth conversation about kondo yesterday did they now yes phil was glazing jake like i've never seen okay like applauding him for like what choosing a great name like i don't know they should just get in a like get a room

dude i need i need to see them in the same room together at the same time logged into their farcaster wallets i i nothing will nothing will convince me until i have that moment alright this from debbie are you building on privy we are looking for folks to test and give feedback on our new gas sponsorship feature dm me so i can get you early access so if you're building something on been using privy go hit up debbie try this out very cool this from luke is building an audience of farcaster still building on farcaster and you said yep but you should also build a mini app and a proposer action and a bot and a channel

i love i don't think we i guess we i i feel like we haven't talked about it recently of like building on farcaster so as farcaster know

yeah because early early days it was just like attracting builders

yeah hackers like open social network you could come in and and build and you had a lot of people just kind of like hacking on forecaster like a lot of that energy

and then i guess and also with the base app i mean there's just so many more people and when and i guess we saw this with the degen like floodgates as well like people come and so what does it mean to build on farcaster and we don't like to gatekeep no and define what it means to build like yeah so i think for a lot of people yeah if you're building audience if you're creating good content you're yeah build on forecaster builder like that's a thing but also like bust out your but also write some code

you know while you're at it

keep that

speaking of somebody who's a creator and also a builder and also an artist afrochicks so this is the thing that ben was just talking about fake jesse retake token currently trending the scammer has taken advantage of new fc wallet ui which shows how coins were launched but the legit retake bot page is livestream this fake used livestream with two s's please be vigilant so that yeah that one i guess got a lot of pretty savvy people so be careful out there i haven't checked the token itself like to see what the other indicators were if there are other ways to figure out that it wasn't legit but yeah be careful out there

so is the name of the token jesse

that like so they launched

the name jesse launch

i think when you launch on retake it takes your profile name and i'm actually gonna play around with this later today okay so i i i don't exactly know how this fully happened but it sounds like they created some weird livestream with two s's thing to launch it so

okay so if you open up that second screenshot oh can you like so so that's the fake so right there where it says yeah creator

because that's the social aspect of it right so it'll tell you because i think what's missing is it tells you the launcher is it launch whatever they called it so it'll say

be a launcher not the creator right

yeah clanker or the right but then the creator is the person person like that that's the that'll be and should not be spoofable

right right

i mean you

could i don't even think it's i think it's gone like i think they may have nerfed it already okay because i don't even think i can find it right now because i was gonna go double check at least i'm not seeing it at this moment so they may have nerfed it from the like at least the trending tokens now that you can nerf the token itself but i mean it's not showing up in trending right now don't know if you're

seeing think the other thing that on the new token page when it tells you who the creator is yeah that is a a link that will

yeah it should show you

farcaster profile

exactly yeah it should show you the farcaster profile

so because people will you know it's easy to do the like you know the lowercase i capital like people do the the capital i to make it look like an l and and or or make things that look very similar so it's a little bit always but you can click through to make sure it's the right person

yep if you click through to the actual token i'm trying to find one real quick just to show

but also if you see a token that's trending and i think it's i i think when it's like oh if jesse launches a token or if dan launches a token i can see why you might ape in without doing yeah what research because it's like okay but even still it's like the anytime i think anytime you're kind of playing with tokens that you don't know what they're going to do you should consider it like chips on the table casino action but that's just my personal opinion

absolutely though i agree

i think it's and maybe you could ask yourself

would the token do what would the token do

that's for you you're welcome

so funny oops ended up in pepe's alright so be careful out there and oh here's what i was looking for i was looking for a token that i could pull up their token page and it was not coming up for me so like here's the better by betterment and if you click on that it should take you to the betterment's like if you look in here it says creator betterment and it should take you to or i don't think it's like yes it is it'll take you to their profile page so if you click like this should be creator it should have been jesse and if it's not then it's not real so don't go there and then here's the platform and the chain and the website so the platform and the chain are not clickable links much to j c four p's dismay think he just wants them to be in different colors i hear you and then these are the little icons i was talking about earlier still don't know what the shield is that's the betterment logo and then that's the clanker page that'll take you there so and then you've got these links down here so there you go that gives you like an idea so be we do not know it's a shield mean

from earlier he he did that earlier i don't know if he's still here but we don't know mike we don't know

we don't know mike we don't know what the shield means we're thinking it's means that it comes from a verified smart contract like a but i don't know like i totally safe know yeah don't know do not know we're and i did ask this question in the chat and said there is a legend like they're they're coming with an explainer but i haven't seen the explainer yet so when you see that hit me up tag me would you alright

oh someday we're gonna like be like remember when wallet's didn't have social context

remember that

like how did you even do anything

how did you how did you get through life come on bring me back where was i come on by the way better's just been crazy it's my whole feed right now toadyhawk oh so this is just one funny thing evan evan greenberg said does anyone still reply and i said of course we do what do you think we only quote cast now that would be ridiculous to which i had he he didn't realize that replies no longer get points towards rewards so a lot of people did start quote casting a lot more but there's still a lot of people replying i reply most of the time i would reply to this i wouldn't have done this i did it just to be funny because you know had to little had to stick it to him a little bit our friend our friend evan who we used to see at doors holding a poap alright we got a few more things that i have to go over to my next tab

this is how we do it now new tab

day is it a

new tab day

window day

been very busy it's been it's been pretty like active around here lately which is good i like to see that whoops helps if you actually share the screen there buddy i almost said my own name like my real name that's funny

prof there we go this from brian armstrong i thought this was interesting i tried a lot of startup ideas that didn't work before in coinbase and this was in response to ace getting very excited that brianarmstrong recasted him and it was this original one don't call me lucky i failed more times than you tried and so this was all going back to that into the in the founder's channel and then i just really liked that brian came back and said you know i tried many things before going base because i you know it's that whole overnight success you know after twenty years of building something and i think we're seeing a lot of that right now within crypto because things have changed so people you know things that have just taken a long time to get rolling or were blocked by various regulators gary we hate you still you know you're now seeing a lot of things pop off so it might look like overnight success but it's really you know years and years of building and trying other things that failed and ace just needed some validation because he's on his fifteenth thing so he's trying his fifteenth thing keep going ace we love you this from a16z i read this their substack today and it was actually really useful and interesting so just wanted to point it out featured it i really wish they'd just do it in paragraph and i could read it in the mini app but oh well until we have a substack mini app featured in our latest newsletter edition why fintechs are launching their own blockchains a playbook for bringing blockchains to tradfi three phishing schemes hooking crypto users the unintended impact of tornado cash verdict and breakout week for decentralized governance they're talking about that's what got my attention obviously if you if you know you know i'm you know i'm i'm into those those things called daos so we do a lot of governance and they were talking about the duna for uniswap that is about to happen the duna is a decentralized unincorporated nonprofit association it's a type of legal entity out of wyoming and they've been working towards getting uniswap as a duna so i thought that was interesting yeah but the whole thing was pretty interesting so go give it a read yay

are you saying dows aren't dead

dows aren't dead but they are struggling dows are hard and i've been saying that for years they're really hard because you know why they're made up of people we haven't really you know quite got the autonomous part in there like nailed down yet so people make it hard so yeah dows are hard and they're hard they've been hard in a a number of other ways too on this particular point with the legal aspect where it's very difficult to get a bank account for a dao it's diff there's a lot of things because of the nature of daos that make it challenging to interact with the real world so some of these things are making that easier like nouns finally has a bank account like if you have people like attorneys and accountants they're challenging to pay because they don't wanna accept eth or usdc although some of them are now starting to do that but it's been pretty challenging for those kinds of real world things credit cards stuff like that when you think about a regular business the things that you have it's just it you can't really do it with dawufi and it gets a little tricky so it's getting easier yeah getting easier all one big experiment this from devcon oh i should probably follow them or maybe i shouldn't i'm not going

tough choice brazil or patagonia before devcon is in sao paulo this year with a conference hackathon edge city is heading to patagonia deep in the argentina andes are you doing a stopover before coming to buenos aires so devcon is coming up in november lots of people going including

gm farcaster

okay well half of us

so yeah farcaster will be at devcon so excited just confirm

this week very exciting very exciting i'm excited for you

hit us up we're making plans it's gonna be incredible and i know you're still undecided so

what do you guys think should professor also go to devcon

do you guys understand that i'm not undecided

what do you guys think

i've decided i don't wanna go so i think it's i think adrienne's actually the better person to go for this particular event i really do she's a dev like she can she can get down with the hackers all that kind of stuff

think it's way more than a dev

i know it is i know

it is it's the it's the ethereum world fair so i think it's not something you wanna miss just

i'll give it another thought idea is literally it just gives me anxiety i don't know why but it just does so i'll i have to get my passport renewed anyway so maybe i'll do that first and give it some thought but yeah we'll we'll to go

to devcon as much as she's going to eat fruits they know you they know

nailed it absolutely nailed it i have to go through and get rid of i already i had the the phil stuff phil and dan stuff lined up so i gotta go clear them out for a second something i am going to though however is base camp i just got my acceptance to base camp so i will be in stowe vermont coming up in september so if you're gonna be at base camp look me up let's chat i really wanna try and do some quick little mini interviews with as many builders as i can that's gonna be my gold while i'm there so yeah make sure we connect if you're gonna be there so i'm excited for that it's gonna be a lot of fun but it's an

it's so sad that we're splitting up the damn forecaster

for all this you're not gonna be at base camp i know adrienne's not gonna be at base camp because she's gonna be traveling the world

prof base interview interviews with base builders might be a good piece of content to put up for the octant

ethereum storytellers round which we talked about i wanna say last week but if octant is is funding storytellers and

thinking about what to propose

good idea and as long as it has like that farcaster i'm looking for people who are building stuff on farcaster and base app obviously and guess what

i'll do the same i'll do gonna be i'll do the same in b at a in ba at devcon yeah perfect so

perfect so i think that's yeah so we'll be doing some doing some stuff it's gonna be a lot of fun i'm excited but also i don't know why i was doing my planning and i'm like oh my god this is such a far trip it's it's takes it's gonna take me like you don't realize how far florida to vermont is until you like start to look at the amount of travel time in it's it's pretty far and then i was like okay i'm gonna try really hard it's two days like i'm going from like sunday coming back tuesday night i'm like i'm gonna try really hard to just do a carry on and a backpack let's see if we can do it

you don't have to bring like swag to give everybody everywhere you go like the presents

i know i think we can just do it i know

a nice little sorry

you're not getting any swag people

and you're recording the live

swag from base so you don't you know if i give anything away i'll give maybe i'll give away a couple things from our shop or something that people can order i don't know figure something out but i'm excited it'll be fun i'm really looking forward to it gonna see my friend toady there gonna see

taking a day off from teaching

yeah so i've completely screwed my this is the other thing just for some fun conversation time for a moment just to tell you the rest of how my week is going i normally teach my class on tuesdays i've taught my class on tuesdays for a very long time i was totally prepared to go in there last night except my class was apparently on mondays which i found out monday right around class time when i started getting lots of phone calls and wondering where i was and i'm like what are you talking about so it turns out i teach on mondays so what i'm gonna do is actually do class from there on zoom for that week i had to redo my entire syllabus like i had to redo so much stuff yesterday so that's why i was pretty quiet i went to look at my rewards just because i i forgot i'm like oh it was tuesday and i'm like i don't know 5,000 or something like that yeah i was like because i had no points because i had i'm like i haven't casted anything today because i was so trying to fix my classroom and catch and just redo and then i had to rerecord a lecture it was a disaster yeah i've had a disastrous start to the semester but i'm gonna be teaching the class while i'm in vermont because i my plan was to come back tuesday morning and go teach class tuesday night it's not happening so

there you go well hopefully stowe has better wi fi than idlewild

oh my god i didn't even think about that part jesus yeah it will it's it'll be fine little bit it'll be fine it'll be fine so i'm gonna also see if i can you know maybe grab a couple people to talk to the students so yeah it could end up being a fun a fun thing so excited about this yeah i know right don't you i hate when that happens like i didn't cast anything yesterday it was awful until like late late at night

yeah and i don't know what your excuse is because farcaster is your work

i know right except except that one day a week when it's not like literally

this i we have another hackathon coming up herd herd hackathon number one not just for devs we've built herd trails for easily building a crowdfund app on top of the seed club crowdfund contracts qualify for rewards you must share it as a reply to this guest and it must be a mini app bountybot we're giving 100 usdc each to the most creative crowdfund mini app so i'm not exactly sure what this is but this is from our friend ilemi who and who used to be with dune dashboard if you don't i don't know if you

remember that he left and he's went to a his own i think he founded his own company and i think so maybe that's what he's doing but my my read on this is we know that seed club has a mini app to for crowd funds it's often at the top of the list i think that's what the used we saw some other kind of like yep popular crowd funds but since they're based on smart contracts anyone can build different uis on top of them so my guess is this is just a hackathon for people to build on top of it

and exactly like maybe using the contracts that are already there which is great

yeah maybe we should do one to fund your trip to buenos aires

i won't give this up until

i i feel i feel you i will give it some thought i will give it some thought anyway moving on in other nudes monad cards launched yesterday what is monad cards i haven't the slightest freaking idea i so again offline most of yesterday like got back on all of these are popping up i have no idea what this is and i know it's probably more so on twitter and i was not on twitter at all yesterday crypto twitter so and not twitter at all but definitely not crypto twitter so i missed everything had no idea what was going on but here's burraries and it's pretty cool i agree it's pretty cool and she said it's pretty cool to be among the 5,000 crypto twitter accounts selected for a monad card on x i gave my nominations to netknows who was the only one on the better team not nominated yet warpcast because he's my better half and j c because she's j c which i agree that's enough of a reason so and i like her card i agree her card is fire i did see linda had one i i don't know who else there was a few people who were on farcaster who who ended up with this honor but not moonpapi so okay so i didn't get in on wave one of moon monag cards so therefore they're stupid i hate them agree

and then we had this from kia similar vibes no one nominated me for the nomad nomad i think it's monad card thing i'm officially obsolete nomad the nomad card thing by the way it's you know when you're not when you're you

know when you're not at the cool kids table

at the cool kids table so so adrienne here's an opportunity hit them hit them with it

i can't even do this anymore it's every day it's like every day there's a new thing every day if you don't know by now you don't like you don't know but in all seriousness and i saw this come up also with base camp invitations going out not everyone's getting accepted to go to base by the way i don't even they've accepted everyone yet it's probably rolling

so either yeah it's rolling i think

the cards i'm sure there's an opportunity to make a card in the future but all of these things that you see and you you you know you feel left out just don't attach your your self worth to it because in the grand scheme of things they're all very silly and it doesn't matter it's not

your worth you are you're worth

if you didn't get selected to be a top 5,000 crypto twitter account you're still good enough you're smart enough people like you and you know you're a good person

i i i didn't even cross my mind to be upset first of all they could have picked me and i just don't even know probably not second of all i don't care but third if that happened on farcaster that would

be a different story then i would be upset remember when we weren't even in the ferretocracy

i remember that and you know what

were upset remember we weren't upset we weren't upset at all

we actually played that we played that for a while

yeah and then he had to put us in darn

we got mad like why did you put us in there we've had this whole thing going where we're not the paratocracy and then you go put us in but yeah it's not your worth

yeah and i don't wanna get all deep but you really can never let other people determine what your worth is play your own game yeah you know like play

your own game win your own prizes and oh the

similar note tell you i actually i'll say this i i've had it cast drafted and i keep i keep wanting to cast it and then i'm like and i'm not because it's somehow for for a number of reasons but i guess i'll just tell you on air i caught up with an old colleague of mine last week oh and he it's someone who reported me for almost a decade he was an engineering manager engineering director and he is he lives in india and he just called me up because he just got a role as a cto of like a us based company so this is like cool pinnacle like he's crushing it and he was and so i was catching up with him and i'm so proud of him and he's so happy like awesome

it's awesome

so then he asked me what i've been up to and i had to tell him and i

swear how did you tell him

i was like listen i mostly said that i've been podcasting about farcaster

and coding like getting back into coding and you've seen my coding arc because prior to farcaster i really i had done a lit like a little bit recently but my you know i i'd had been a long time and now i'm like it it's it sparks joy i should say it sparks joy i'm having the time of my life i'm building mini apps so i'm like oh i'm telling him about the mini app and the bot i built and i am clearly so excited and i swear i think he was i could feel his disappointment in me it was palpable

because you're not because you're not climbing a corporate ladder anymore

yeah like it was you know and he i i think it was just like he looked up to me and i was you know and it's like oh now you're just kind of like solo dev ing and have a podcast that no one's ever heard of like like what a loser okay it just reminded me you can't let other people yeah like dictate what success is or what you know like follow your own path determine what like winning is to you and just like and don't forget that so that comes up a lot so anyway the mona had cards not not my worth don't care

didn't didn't make me happy or not

it is really funny i've had similar situations though when i especially when i go back up north in the summer of like what are you doing now and they're like like i i i really don't feel like answering it's just such a long conversation that most of the time i just say i'm still teaching you know i just and leave it at that like because okay

i still have my tech consulting company

becomes like even that conversation is a lot so depending on who it is if it's somebody like i really think will find it interesting or you know what i mean like then i'll

or has a lot of time yeah i'm like how much time

do somebody i wanna actually tell about this like i'll get into it but most of the time you're talking like aunts and cousins and you know people i see once a year that aren't gonna be able to grasp this in any way shape or form like i'm not telling my you know 81 year old uncle about farcaster it's not not gonna work out well so yeah but it's it's challenging it's challenging to have these conversations for sure for sure but it's not your worth like what makes you happy is your worth for sure and along those lines from samantha you should never measure your self worth by an arbitrary number like money or follower count this is a recipe for never finding peace or happiness in your life you should instead measure it by whether or not you have a humankind candle

i do i wish it was like in reach now

too i know i meant to put it on my counter and it's way over there and i forgot i meant to do that ahead of time and i didn't prep yeah

i have two candles right now in my house they're they're both like about 30% left so i'm gonna have to order up some

i started doing a thing where i light different candles based on different moods it's a little like so i'm like when i wanna get into focus mood i light the candle over here and when i wanna get into like clean the house or cook something like when i'm like active i slide a different one so

is it fragrance based or just you've just determined this is actives okay

i don't know let's tell samantha it's farergay's braced yeah interesting i don't think it is but it's just

by the way this was in a requote a quotecast of neynar you should never measure your self worth by an arbitrary number like money or follower count this is a recipe for never finding peace and happiness in your life you should instead measure it by whether or not you got a monad card but no you should not no you should not

can we just like end it at this is a recipe for never finding peace or happiness in your life period we

could but that wouldn't be funny

but then it wouldn't be copy copycasta

it wouldn't be it wouldn't be oh copycast i like that i like that speaking of cards this is a whole other thing that has nothing to do with your worth and anybody can grab these base cards are live on vibe market so i have not i have been woefully behind on vibe market woefully so i did buy some i have not opened them yet because i think what i'm gonna do is open them on a stream because i've been wanting to test out retake aka stream i'm like oh and i was about to open them and then i'm like you know what i'm gonna wait because i'm gonna copy naomi to an unboxing but i was like oh that's a really good idea that'd be something we could actually just trying out different mini apps too in general would be good for a stream just to like not have it be just the gm farcaster

so have you been watching people stream

i have a couple times i've gone into avrochicks stream i've been in stream on occasion i'm trying to think if i've seen any other ones i think just those two and this was from yesterday when she said it'll be live on retake today and mini apping unboxing base devo playing cards packs with stunning art by lamp chop and some bonus packs on buy market might even give away a little something too see you there so that was yesterday she's been doing a lot of streaming on retake i think she's doing like she said like three this week or whatever that she's gonna be doing look how cute her little like promo is she's so good i just this is just like a afrochicks appreciation moment honestly so just just love you girl speaking of retake okay okay

is this the last thing we're talking about tonight

the last thing we're talking about today so before we get into it is there anything else that i missed because this is gonna be the last thing

i don't think there's anything you've missed

okay so and then we have this question gmt very curious to hear your thoughts on retake and streamer tokens what do you think so

well you know what i think about streamer tokens right

yeah i mean

what would

would the token do

really use that a lot

really use that a lot what would the token do okay so mom has had enough couple things i think it's i think it's a fine experiment i think it's a fine experiment i would so we started out we were doing this on unlonely and then lonely was built on on base and it was there were some cool features because of that and one of the things is you could tip out to people in the chat but you could only tip their token you couldn't do anything else so there were some limitations that like that retake has and or that is i think very useful because you can tip out people in the audience they can tip you you could so there's things you can do with the tokens that are useful i would prefer if it didn't make you launch a token when you were streaming like if it didn't make you do that like i would like to be able to use whatever token i wanted to to tip or whatever but it does and and that's you know just the way it is i think it's really cool i think it's a cool option i just wish it was an option rather than required so but i do think it's because i again like we're getting so many tokens in so many places and this is like you know the opposite of decentralization but i'm like it's it's too much it's just too much i want to put them together and just have like if i'm gonna have a creator token i want it to be one token that i can use in all the different places i'm seeing some really cool integrations where this is a clanker so you can use it other places so that's cool like other integrations things like empire which if you haven't checked out empire very cool very cool mini app very cool use cases and then on the other side with zora you have zora being integrated into paragraph like i think some of those those partnerships are are smart because it lessens on the creator side if you're not the person launching token like it probably makes no difference to you whatsoever but from a person who might have to manage what that is it's helpful so that's just my thoughts on it and also you know this would be a good time for mama had enough i

need one in i i think we need one in your voice mama's

had enough nah i'm just gonna give you as in your voice it's too it's too good oh

so by the way on this like yeah you can stream without a token hey guess what we are right now and people show up every time we stream and they're watching recordings and we're here and we've been doing it for two years so the answer is yes people are interested and if you are doing a stream and the only reason people are interested is because they can gamble cool cool i'm happy for you

i'm happy for you yeah mean like

if that's

we you know there's there's multiple reasons that we use the platforms that we use and we want to make sure we're capturing as much audience as possible for not just for getting the content out for our you know when we have sponsors we wanna make sure we get giving them the biggest audience they can have we also wanna make sure you know that we're we're showing off farcaster like that's our kind of our purpose is to show off what's happening on farcaster and we wanna reach as many people as we can if we only stay in retake we're gonna miss a lot of folks so anyway no if you can on youtube because yes to crypto made us and that was a good idea thank you and thank you thank you for the push what were you gonna say

apparently we owe yes to crypto so much i know it's ridiculous really just put them on payroll and ridiculous

okay i had something to say i forget it so we can move on

okay well here we go here's what we're moving on to okay that's why i wear my clanker hat by the way so this is from thosmur i have not watched their stream yet at all so i i don't know anything about this particular creator i just haven't had a chance

so here's what here's i'm just gonna read it this is thosmur not me reading saying this currently at work on the toilet some things to list off the proxy studio interview combo isn't tonight unless there's a change on his end it seems like proxy has some things to get around to prior to hopping on the stream so apparently he was trying to get him to jump on that night he should be on in the near future very near future when a date is locked in it will be announced two the stream time tonight is tba should be announcing it in about an hour i love you guys the thosmur stream has had a chance to be a life changing and i'm all in on it thank you for all for everything you've been doing to support this should be the biggest night yet and i'm excited okay then proxy responds thursday if it works for you otherwise monday if we can lock it in by tomorrow i'll post a statement morning of stream and chat with you at your usual time thanks for coordinating and asking i just wanna make a note that i did ask like in may so just saying just saying proxy and by the way

send proxy a dm maybe the yeah dm got deleted because farcaster released the deleting dms so if he you know if he went offline and didn't check yeah

it's okay didn't get it

always you know i always assume good intent even from shady people who have already proven that they won't always

i know and it's and he may not have been ready to talk and that's fine and it's all good no big deal so anyway they go back and they go back and forth and now this is set for thursday so this from thosmur time and date are set proxy studio will coming on the stream thursday 1pm eastern you're not gonna want to miss this so and this is funny from commits a financial crime dip for months now or a farming this guy surprised it took this long i think he just wasn't ready so this is gonna be interesting and then we have this from kazra from j c four p just fyi i will be blocking anyone who welcomes this guy back or sympathizes with him people like this should never be allowed back into small circles like this they'll just scam you again and it shows a bad example to other potential scammers that it's okay to do it okay so here's my thoughts on this having somebody on a stream does not mean you're endorsing anything and i'm hoping and i have no again i do not know thosmur i don't even know if i'm saying the name right

i don't know his intention like i don't know anything about this guy so i'm assuming it's like he reached out and was just like hey let's i just wanna talk to you i was very curious like i wanted to talk to him but of course it would have been very mom ish i'll be honest and it's probably why he's never gonna come on because i'm you know i i i have some you know i have some questions i have and they're not necessarily gonna be friendly so i can understand not wanting to to go there so i'm hoping that dawufi will ask some tough questions we'll you know dig into it and we'll see and i thought about that yes to crypto i right i thought about that again i don't know who he is so i don't know i don't know anything about dawufi but or they could be they could know each other there could be a whole thing there who knows so you know i'm looking at this as entertainment i don't think it's it means you're endorsing him in any way shape or form or anything he did by talking to him especially if you hold his feet to the fire kind of thing so we'll see we'll see how it goes on monday by the way this is excellent timing excellent timing on monday we're gonna be talking with dish from clanker so we'll maybe be able to get some production to whatever goes down and have a little chat and you know i've had some conversations a couple conversations with dish since all that went down and we we love him and support the clanker team so just to make that very very clear so very clear but i'm curious

we are very happy we're very happy to sympathize and endorse and to chat with the clanker team

and give them a platform so yes

don't block me

yeah very different but i'm looking i i am curious i am very curious to see what proxy has to say it does you know not to absolve or whatever you know but to seek to understand what the fuck were you thinking it's basically the first question on many things on many things but i think you know there's another piece to this and oops i always i keep meaning to write this paragraph post about this but i don't think you read you didn't read malcolm gladwell talking to strangers did you adrienne i don't think so mm-mm okay he really gets into talks a lot about different scammers over the years like and how they were able to in con men and and different different people who were able to gain people's trust in the ways in which they did it and why people you know why people fell for it and you know like from madoff to all the way down you know like just all these different types of types of folks and it's really interesting sort of exploring that and thinking about that because we all do we all have these interest it talks about different biases and a lot of research and things like that within this and we have this predisposition to trust and to because if you are somebody who is trustworthy like you're you start to assume that people are the same especially when you're young if you think about this from a kid's perspective like you have to teach them you know good and bad and like look out for in you know like stranger danger and stuff like that because they're more inclined to just believe everybody's nice and until you've gotten you know sort of gone through life and been hurt a few times by trusting the wrong person like you don't necessarily develop that until that happens and then you get to be my age and you don't trust anybody like i literally do not like i you you don't if you if i've never met you before i don't trust you i assume positive intent until proven otherwise and i've said that number of times in here because i have no reason to believe that you're a bad actor off the bat but also i'm not gonna you know i'm not like trusting you with my money i'm not trusting you with

trust needs to be earned but you can still assume good intent like you're giving everyone opportunity people you don't come in with with lack of trust you're not putting you're not yeah

i don't assume you're up to up to no good right from the start like but i also am not gonna trust you until it's earned so and i think most people are you know we we we have a hard time believing when somebody does something that is just something we would never do mhmm and i think that's kind of where this where this all went down is that it felt so off and i think it took everybody like a moment to even accept that this was real like that this really happened because it just seemed so out of character for the person that we know that we knew like that we got to know

yeah who was an anon yeah

but there were a lot of people who had met him in person you know what mean so there was

and you start to question then kind of like all your judgment

everything yeah so you start to question yourself and like all of that and then it's sometimes it's hard to to move past that so it's really interesting yeah so we'll see how that all goes down we'll be talking about it on friday i'm sure and then on monday we'll have dishon hopefully to chat mostly we'll be chatting about clanker and like what's going on with them but we'll touch on if he wants to talk anything about that he may not want to so mhmm up to him and but we're excited to to chat with dish alright anything else adrienne we've been chatting for a while

what's that

i said we've been chatting for a while so anything else

twenty twenty nine minutes and

also minutes plus plus thirty nine thirty forty actually alright and that is it for us we will be back on friday 08:30am eastern or whatever time that is where you are look for us on the timeline in between we might do some streaming on retake to play around with that so look for that we'll post it in the gm farcaster channel and with that everybody we say to you bye bye
