broadcaster has our own apps guy

we got our app we got an app guy you got an app guy we got an app guy that's funny alright let's dive in we do have a little bit of news from the farcaster ecosystem we also have a lot of fun builder news too there was some good builder news over the weekend this from our friend bradq who does this every usually monday but did it for us this week on tuesday twenty ninth seconds of farcaster what did you miss this long weekend an era of degen has ended as allocations are finished and we move toward the mini app and client era thank you to jacek for an amazing run and here's to the future of the hat also i think starting today or maybe it was yesterday there was gonna start being ads on bankless for degen so changing some things up trying some new things so very exciting betterment released a better staking rewards claim with daily spins of the neon wheel to get your daily rewards and a shot at the back at the jackpot for anyone with 10,000,000 better staked shout out to todd tony hawk and netnose for the design and burberry for the fun in staking claims daily available in the mini app and also if you are they also have a lot of poker happening that burberry is organizing so if you like online poker even if you've never played before it's a good way to learn it's fun moving on bracky stepped it up with football college and nfl and is headed to ex twitter this fall there were some serious bracky sessions friday night after the football release and we'll dive in more on that we're gonna dive on a lot of these things bertwurst held a labor day toy draft this was hilarious i missed the actual stream but i loved seeing the draft the bracket was really fun i will show you that in just a bit for the ceremonial exchanging of active toys for september and livestreamed it bert seemed to throw off at first by the new format but eventually roadkill was the winner and eric and lauren lauren messner had the top brackets and received facelifts tail wags and generational wealth not really just making clear these folks a bit more niche but mcbain shared some videos about his inspiring work trying to turn his neighborhood into a community which may be useful for some but also shows off why farcasters are great it even led to presidential campaign rumors from a certain geofarcaster host and we didn't pull one of those videos but also he's doing a lot over on tiktok too so follow in vain and then we are here thank you bradq for always keeping everybody up to date be sure that you're following him and look for his updates moving on we've got i didn't grab brad's usual rewards roundup but i did see this from alex if it's gonna come up there we go top 10 in farcaster all women

don't don't tell moon poppy number seven don't tell moon poppy

this poor guy

he's the most moon hoppies he's dude of year

always like gets gets started there it's just funny yeah no he's totally he can if anyone can handle that it's him so congrats to those who ended up at the top of the leaderboard i think i don't know if this was a final final because this was a few hours ago so i'm not sure what the final final was but congrats to everyone who was at the top of the leaderboards well done even on a quiet weekend this from hyper whoops we're gonna have one of those days okay trying something new don't know how well it's working trying something new many people are asking for the full and complete restoration of the original farcaster leaderboard are many people asking for

this are they

that means you only get $5 buddy it was a whole different whole different thing like $5 i think was the top of my own or something it wasn't yeah yeah

i mean i just like the many people meme many people makes me laugh yeah

many people are they really i don't know about that but i did think that was funny as well this in real farcaster news it's from our friend daniel new small ux feature added to annotate swaps for gas if you're low on eth but have a token balance you may prompt it it may prompt you to convert up to a dollar for gas in the past we did not annotate this and some of you were confused we fix this now and a gas swap is appropriately annotated thank you tanishq for the design and horse facts for the idea so it'll let you know what the heck it's asking you for now so that is good and useful this was from v quote casting someone come on you can do it i know you can i know you can load for me okay so maybe maybe this particular format is not working as well as i would like oh come on come on do it i know you can

come on come on come on

opportunity this is a great opportunity for a client that

that loads quickly

and and doesn't lower is it lower bandwidth scenarios is it just yeah

something i don't know i think i'm the i think this is a problem probably unique to me like i'm not sure anyone else opens this many links on on farcaster at the same time we'll add a $100 bounty on top of bountybob this was for any source any open source devs interested in tackling this high impact task many users have asked to schedule long casts we have scheduled casts and hero casts but farcaster app has long casts so essentially trying to pull together two different things long casts and scheduling casts via via hero cast so if you want to tackle this there is a bounty going up regarding this

awesome i love hellno dawith dawith however to everyone trying to schedule long casts don't do it yes you should only cast short thoughts without scheduling just when you think it cast it short thought think a short thought cast it stop overcomplicating it

think a short thought

think a tiny small cast think a thought then cast it that's all you gotta do

for those of you new here who may be unfamiliar with adrienne's feelings on long cast maybe remind the folks how much you don't like them

oh my god our dumb ai bot can get very verbose like it just wants to answer really long and no matter what i've tried to do in the prompt saying like you have a limit like you have this many words like this is how long you you must be brief and whatever it was 280 characters or something so it just sometimes ignores it and it kept breaking or it wouldn't respond or it would try

i i added something where if after it responds i guess i could send it again and be like this is too long but i just truncate it and i'm like here's the first 280 characters and then it tags you and i just to say like hey or maybe it just tags me that's what it does it tags me so i know but i bought our bot pro so that it can

that's what i was gonna ask you

pass longer

did just buy it pro

i bought it pro business expense total write off so totally worth it but i never updated the i realized i never updated the code so even though it could pass longer it doesn't it still just truncates it so you're just reminding me i should go add that to my to do list

it can be a little longer now yeah that's funny that's really funny okay so this is a little bit longer from tanishq

speaking of longer my thesis for this is a quote cast of original cast that they sent a few days ago my thesis for farcaster as an operating system has only gotten stronger decentralized social graph mini apps and app coins integrated wallet embedded tokens and cast token discovery near instant cross chain swaps and so many upcoming primitives developers can create permissionless apps etcetera etcetera so what you pulled here was why mini apps over websites mini apps in farcaster's context is much more than accessing a crypto service with your wallet baked in it's also your connections your history your content your entire context what you prefer how you interact and what tokens you hold who do you respond to publicly many apps that build on farcaster get to leverage their users' entire context to make them highly personalized instantly results in higher conversion i wrote about it a few days ago apps fit well because farcaster acts as an operating system for the ecosystem i liked that operating system kind of thinking you know which we could also just call a protocol but if protocol is too esoteric operating system might make more sense any thoughts on that like in terms of

no i just love when people kinda zoom out and talk big picture stuff because especially when you're kind of in here every day i sometimes forget like how is farcaster different than twitter or how is it different than another social app and

and as someone who's built mini apps and kind of have chatted with some of the mini app developer ecosystem like it's still really hard to freaking build an app there's certain things it's so much easier it's so much easier but there's still like kind of the the hoops you gotta jump through in terms of like getting the manifest set up right and kind of all the metadata and and and you only have you have so many fewer pixels to work with so you kinda have to be from a design perspective like really choosy about what you're putting in but i love just like the you get so much more out of the box so like the whole social context built in

think the social graph is the social graph is underrated it's really underrated there's some people using it so well in in certain mini apps and there's others that like just aren't tapping into that yet or don't see the value and it's huge it's huge i think we're just we haven't seen the full exposure to that yet but you know we've seen the playing around with it but we've i don't think we're quite capitalized on that yet but agree agree agree and also your point about mini apps are hard to build so appreciate your devs thank a dev today like it's harder than you think like go try and build one i and it's and it's it might be easier for you than it was for me but i really i bailed when it got hard i was just like i don't think i have the bandwidth to figure this out right now and it wasn't you know i got it pretty far along the way and i learned a lot but there's just like it's tough know right

and then i guarantee it's like once you do the one it's so much easier to do the second

like everything you do does get so much easier

so like i could get it to web app pretty easily but then that final integration that's tough it's tough yeah there's a lot of details so yeah so thank you thank you devs we appreciate you thank a dev today speaking of devs we need to thank today jacek this is from jacek one third one of three here we go hey degens today marks the last ever one third one of three hey degens today marks the last i just had to go back and just note how dumb that was last ever degen airdrop over the past nineteen months we've we've given out over $5,050,000,000 dollars to content creators on farcaster making this one of the largest airdrops in crypto history that's impressive with today's drop all tokens locked in the vault are now unlocked we encourage you to keep hodling and stay active our community is growing stronger every day and there's much more ahead this is the start of a new chapter the degen app is launching soon and we're building the biggest and best community on base thank you to everyone who participated and helped make history so make sure and this is something i haven't done i have to go do my final claim and all of that and i assume i have to move some stuff back from the vaults as i had a couple million vaulted for a bit so make sure you go do all those things and look for the mini app is there now the degen mini app where you can tip degen through it and then also qualify for different rewards in doing that so go check that out but there's also a client that's coming supposedly later this year and we'll see what that's all about we don't know yet so so thank you jacek thank you degen i feel like hold on hold on hold on the hat stays on hold on one second one moment please hat stays on

have my i still don't have my hat anywhere near arm's distance i mean girl come on

she says it's by my front door so when i leave for the day i can put it on and wear it in public

so had to had to do it today thank you jacek and thank you for creating some really interesting first experiments on things that we see taking off in different directions right now so we appreciate you

alright moving on this from android 16 i held out for a long time but i've finally accepted it liberally muting people is the only sane way to use social media used to think everyone deserved a chance to be heard but some people are resolved to be negative victims and it's not worth joining them in the drama triangle as the persecutor or rescuer and i said mute and block all your friends and aviation doctor read this as i read this as mute and block all your friends i thought this was a radical experiment no don't mute and block everybody but i do believe that that is how you create the experience you wanna see like if you don't like something take control don't whine about it just mute just mute very easy

do you are you using mutant block often no

not very often honestly i don't use them a lot but you can you know if that's you know but that will help you if you're really getting frustrated by anything

so just recommend it i just recommend it you know create the feed that you wanna see and that's a good way to do it it also also you know look at who you're following sometimes just unfollowing can be helpful if it's something that's just not vibing with you anymore so yeah

i like bringing up i i think probably originally heard it from dan used to say like a bunch of these sayings i'm sure he didn't even originate them but the idea that no one's entitled to your time or attention and i think on social media like just because someone responds to you just because they tag you

there it doesn't mean you need to you know drop everything and go read what they're writing and and respond and engage and you can you you really have to take control of your it's not just like your feed but your attention and time

and and i also give people a lot like i can

be bad with that sometimes and get sucked into things yeah so i gotta be careful with that but yeah absolutely wanna be and you yeah i mean also and giving people the the benefit of the doubt is always good too but if it's not vibing you know don't hold back sorry about really

yeah no but there are really good people i would never have met if they didn't just like pop into your feed that's great like you don't wanna like you don't wanna lock down your social graph and only talk to people you've already met but i have to also understand especially as farcaster gets bigger you know and for anyone it's just there's there's just more people so you can't really have one on one conversations with every single person on the network so

it's impossible there's more than 37 now so it's hard

yes there's six 700 of us i saw

there's a i can't remember who did that

petition to do six 700 but was it derek

i don't know 100 that's funny yeah and speaking of your attention

this in regards to that right from vrypan i find it amazing how activity is generated every time i react to a cast noisap sends a tip in lemon three tippin sends a tip in usdc co build swaps an amount of usdc to the cast creator's coin these social emissions are mind blowing phenomenon that we take for granted just because we are used to it not to mention tips in degen recently better also if you type in an okay banger if you have that set up in in noise you know things like that lots of different ways to react but also i need to manage this better because i feel like i'm just losing my mind it's like almost too much

also is vry how much money is he spending every day casting i know or reacting to other people's cast just give away all your money

i know i know yeah it is fun careful out there it is fun but it's also yeah we gotta start budgeting a little better and this from 7858 eth a lot of my replies have been going unliked recently i wonder if we've signed ourselves up for so many paid alike services that it's having a cooling effect on engagement it used to be that basically every reply was sure to get a like from the op at least something something skin in the game revealed preferences etcetera or maybe i'm just not posting good posts i think this is related and that's why i put these two together i think these are related i think we're just seeing people figure out what makes sense for them when it's you know basically costing them money to to like your your cast so when it starts to it's like oh is do i really wanna like this so there's gonna be a little bit of that as well so yeah don't be don't be surprised if we see a little less liking we see a little less replying things like that when someone's being tipped by it too just like you don't you know some people don't tip for counter service i don't know they don't like that

things like that i tip 30% every time yeah i go to a counter and buy myself a coffee and i make sure to tip before i get the service sarcasm so anyway the other thing is when i set up my co build i did actually set it up i think to only enable for for recasts and quote casts

not likes because i purposely didn't wanna get in my head over not even that it's in my head but it was just like i wanna just yeah like like liberally he was also talking about replies not top level just like yeah that your replies are getting attention and that could also just be

i don't know the more i i feel like i've noticed not being able to keep i i think there's like just so many notifications that you get these days especially with like mini apps are sending so many notifications so maybe people out there enjoying their summer touching grass and they don't like this is at least just for me i feel like i found myself not being able to respond to every person who replies and it's not because i don't see it appreciate it it's true sometimes i miss it but it's just nature of busyness

i feel that i get that yeah it's i think that there's a little bit of that i usually go through my notifications first and there's a lot and i'm definitely you can't like my priority is just very crowded because of all the mini app notifications also yeah you know your mom's about to die very important things so i have to take care of those as well and sometimes i'll miss something but i generally as if it's a you know if it's a useful if it's a if you're interacting and engaging with me and it's like looks like a honest communication then i'm gonna give it a like and and tip you for that but not everyone's gonna be doing that so yeah interesting i think we're all just figuring it out as we go and trying to figure out where to put those funds also like i might start shift more into co builds because i kinda like that mechanic and i might turn off some other things so it's just figuring it out just figuring it out okay moving on to some of our favorite builders maybe maybe here we go bracky has some new things happening this is very exciting so this was from friday today at 5pm so this is friday at 5pm 100 plus football markets open for trading 2025 2026 nfl playoffs 32 teams ncaa playoffs 67 teams and then games of the week which i have no idea how i did i didn't even bother to check probably should check that and then bracky is going to twitter but fc eats first more details below so bracky is launching on twitter very exciting it gives you information about the starting price

literally says x

i know i ignored it you you

you're reading you're reading a cast and you're taking the time like you're actually i understand you saying twitter and not x when you're talking about it but you're reading a cast that says x i know and you're translating

my brain still translates it yeah my brain still translates it to twitter wow so i'm gonna sum this up with tldr's final reminders this is our biggest simulaunch ever things may not go perfectly remember you are getting a chance at exceptional prices compared to consensus odds please don't get mad if some specific things don't go your way it's all alpha there are safe limits in place here but don't spend more than you feel comfortable with holding bracci is the meta bet so i do like those little nfas d y o r's kind of at the at the end there so be be careful there but take a look at his his cast because it does have information that will be helpful moving forward as well i know it totally look there's even x in the little ball and i'm still saying twitter wouldn't that have been so cute if it was a bird i'm just saying anyway it's very cool to see brachi expanding and getting you know even bigger than this from sayangel okay this is nuts avenish sends me some brachy via x okay i said it that time and then i get a farcaster notification that i received the shares in my bracket game wallet choo choo tldr so that is a very cool mechanic

so all coming together i don't know how they're doing it but pretty cool we'll need to get tldr back on but very cool cool to see i did put some i did add some positions for bradq i'm going with i think the chiefs and the ravens this is based on pretty much nothing so yep just your your mood mood yeah total mood totally nothing i have no specific information but bracky will assist you just ask bracky and he'll give you give you some information so he is good like that so i went back and forth with him a little bit on friday just to figure some things out so it was fun very fun so you can go bid on your go put some bracky on penn state there you go this from nick sapp so this is in regards to paragraph i won amazing to earn actual money for my writing and to be recognized in this way thank you for the support and this was a quotecast of reed tandy congrats to the winners of our remix contest 500 usdc to nickysap 200 to farcast ho don't know who that is but that's a nice name and 100 to stella achenbach we got a treasure trove of feedback huge thank you to everyone who remixed and shared their ideas and thoughts so this is the new paragraph feature that you can remix someone else's paragraph post and sort of make it your own and so if you're basically commenting on something else someone else wrote you can do this remix add your own information and it will also pull over something from theirs as well so very cool to see this and congrats to our friend nikki very cool and you can go check all of these out over on paragraph this from our friends at matcha with our new integration of farcaster social graph on the matcha home page your trades just got a whole lot friendlier so speaking of social graphs matcha has now integrated the farcaster social feed into their platform so that's pretty cool so check that out and by the way it's michael right i think it's michael who does these videos and he's he's amazing so make sure you're following him as well so very cool to see the social integration going in i think that's an obvious move that just makes sense to me when we saw interface and what they were doing like knowing what your what other people are buying is just useful additional information it doesn't mean you should ape into the same exact thing that you know so and so bought but it's really good information to see okay what's trending and who is this and who's buying it and try to figure out why they are as well so anyway very useful and also in a similar similar situation announcing zora top trader competition a weekly trading competition rewarding the top traders on zora the first week is a 100 k prize pool for the top 10 traders like that's a massive amount how to win trade creator coins and post back a roster of creators hit trades with volume and size the competition will begin september 1 so that was yesterday each week will run monday to sunday who is eligible to claim rewards top traders will be rewarded from a weekly prize pool must trade using linked wallets to an active zora account us and non us based winners will be required to provide tax forms to claim rewards so all the information there go check that out if you are trading on zora so i haven't really done much like buying on zora i think i've done it more using co build than i have anything else lately like funny enough like i haven't gone really onto zora to find things lately so i don't know if you are but if anyone is in the chat let us know how you're doing in your trading competition okay we've got a few more fun things so i've now moved into my fun tab i'm just trying to get things to open so we try things we experiment and then we try different things is what we need to do we try the things so i don't know if the tab groups are really gonna work but

that's maybe the issue wasn't the grouping of tabs

it's the number of them

the volume it's the volume of the tabs alright so

and what does chat g p t have to say to the yeah

i don't think it's yeah oh no someone's mom died oh no michael okay michael i'm gonna let you know

i saw that in the comments and i thought it said lol my mom died and i was not thinking that was funny and then i realized we were talking about baby and also is that a baby son or a or a full grown clanker mon

i assume it's a baby mon i assume it's a mon

do the do the grown up clanker mon die too

they can the i don't think so they can but in the dungeons i think they can but

they lose them

yeah exactly in the dungeons yep yep but you can't just you don't have to train them anymore so there's no like yeah you don't have to keep feeding them or anything alright moving on we had this from dan haven't done one of these in a while ama so we did an ama i assume he was on a plane from wherever something somewhere he was bored so there's some cool conversations in here go check that out talking about felt friday this was pretty cool i liked this what are the three favorite new memories you made this summer and this was part of the felt friday from the felt mini app from co chris co created and dan said all of them with my kids and lovely so i was thinking about that like what were my favorite summer memories and yours isn't over yet so i guess yours is gonna change but mine's done so i'd say mine are obviously going up to massachusetts and then also my little trip to the keys was really fun with my son so any particular memories for you you went to nova scotia it was fun

yeah went to nova scotia with the with my family i went did a little college tour roommate with with family which was fun

nice oh yeah i forgot about that yeah

and yeah it was a pretty chill summer so far but summer's about to get started so i'm

she's delusional i forgot i also went to dc

totally forgot about that i went to dc you know be pre tanks

it was a weird summer though

weather weather was off

i got to the jersey shore it was fun yeah it's been a fun summer

it's pretty chill summer i did a few things but it wasn't like crazy alright speaking of crazy

this is from our friend kristen you know patricia actually i actually have a mobile office when my wife is fishing so that's kristen in her mobile office

well i think they were in iceland or something i don't remember where this one was particular but i know they were i know she was in iceland for a little bit i don't think this is iceland though i've was regards to i've seriously considered doing this by the ocean where i live and sitting down to work for the whole day so i don't know do you i normally just cast from my house but apparently kristen cast from this thing sometimes so there you go i thought that was really funny this from our friend jeff x y z if you're a farcaster maxi have you met founders on here and helped them with their projects and provided them feedback check did the founders appreciate it yes did they ask you for your feedback occasionally did you end up getting burnt out because it was taking away from something else you were doing kinda consider it part of my job would you have continued to provide that feedback if you were recognized for it paid for your feedback absolutely but yes what are your have you i mean you probably have similar to my answers but

i don't know what he's i don't know what he's working on but i i feel like there's been an iteration of these apps that get built up for you to kind of pay for access to people's time you know it's like the you've seen like the pay for experts or or do this speaking for me like i don't i'm not doing it because i'm wanting to get paid for it like it comes you know it's like you you do it because you want to it makes you feel good it like tends to come from more just like

you like to be early you like to try new things yeah stuff

like that and like contribute and and kinda pay it forward like oh there's been people who helped me i wanna help other people

so i this is just for me i'm you know i'm sure people would love to get paid for their time yeah i mean

i won't turn it down but it probably won't be i don't know it would depend but i can't you know that's essentially what a lot of airdrops are too is that you've used whatever the platform is and now you're being rewarded for using whatever the platform so you know that happens a lot too but if i don't enjoy it i'm unlikely to do it just for the pay but i am not speaking on behalf of the rest of the world because i guarantee you there's a lot of people who would do it no no question

that's right yeah i think that's also one of the things that up when we were talking to j c four p about open source development yeah and because he's a big open source contributor and and he i was telling him about scout game

oh right yeah that's a good one yeah

and scout game is chris carrera's new company project project yeah project

app which is about kind of like how do you make open source more sustainable i mean you've and and part of that is kind of the gamifying and and being able to kind of bet on and invest in open source developers but then castro said he's like if you try to pay me i won't do it anymore

oh that's funny

do you remember i think he said it on our show it was like but it the idea was like you it's you're gonna insult me because i'm doing this because i wanna do it and i

wanna do it the but after a while it changed a little bit because now he's doing a class and doing a course and because yeah eventually you need you need some value for your time is what it comes down to so which i understand so i don't know i think it depends on how it's designed but i could definitely see people who would absolutely love that and love to give feedback but also would appreciate being rewarded for their time which is never a bad thing never a

bad and there's different currencies and also currency is valued to like everyone values currency differently depending on their own circumstance whether that you know so right and i think it also kinda reminds me of just like in general people talk about social media and it's like you should be paid you know we'll make the assertion you should be paid for contributing to these social networks because you're the one creating the content everyone should get paid yeah and then people will be like well i don't need to get paid i'm doing it because i want to you know like the i have all these intrinsic rewards and and but someone's getting paid it's so i mean that as in the platform

someone's getting paid yeah if you're not then the platform is so but someone's getting paid yeah very true okay couple more things couple more fun things this from our friend bert i love to this particular thread feeling uninspired today does anyone else get a funk sometimes can you do me a favor and show me your favorite piece of irl art you own and then later on the assistant said okay this came off as a little engagement bait y sorry but and they said you can just quote cat you can do whatever you want but wanting to get more art on the timeline i did post a couple that my son has done of our dog this is my favorite where he's doing this was a while ago it's probably

your son's a good artist

yeah he's really good it was probably five or six years ago and he painted this one where mookie's tail is in the paint and he's painting a picture and then he painted the picture as well that mookie was painting so it was really cute but there were some really fun art in this thread if you go through it you'll see a bunch of different things that people shared so that's why i pulled this one so it was very cool go through there were some really cool things in here highly recommend you give it you give it a peruse and see some cool art so it was very fun cool anyway so that was that

bert no by the way everything is engagement farming let's just be real and like and doesn't bert was bert not around for the conversational liquidity provider meta

no bert came in after so so bert

there you go good point providing conversational liquidity we have no problem with you farming for i don't

know and then other engagement farming which was really fun was this official bracket for the toy draft where you could fill in your bracket and see which toy ended up winning in bert's toy draft which he did on retake so pulling different toys seeing which one he pulled based on the brackets and was pretty fun so just fun things happening on the timeline and roadkill was the one that won so there you go and a couple people won with that one so there there it is now of course this isn't going to load i was so close we're so close to the end and everything was loading pretty well and now it's not

come on come on come on come on people there we go this from sayangel i created a list to record prominent posters here who still actively call them frames it's not complete and i'll add it over time people have people have their reasons but also it's worth knowing who is and who is not contributing to the survival of frames and lack of mini app growth i just thought that was funny i am not contributing often but occasionally i do and i i do say i'm sorry i used the word frame it's not on purpose it is an accident and this is related to this i was too chicken to copypasta i created a list of record prominent posters here who are still very active on x it's not complete and they'll add to it over time so this was a copypasta of this so basically it's like calling people out from blue sky calling people out who are still posting over on twitter like who cares why do you care so

well because it's people do it's it's like little tribal cult behavior

yep so that was the coffee pasta but it was funnier with frames

we have a lot of that early in farcaster if you remember there was like a little bit of the like don't don't post on twitter like you have to you choose one and

it did feel like that for a while it definitely felt like that for a while and then there was the whole people getting mad at vitalik for not posting on twitter because he was posting too much over on farcaster only on farcaster yeah yeah he went through

that period and then there became a little bit of it's like well if you don't if you're not active on far on twitter then no one knows about farcaster so you should post on both places and i don't know

and that's where we are now

and we you know we were doing

the same thing we were trying to avoid like i don't want to be but it's still too much going on over there kinda you can't avoid it

also hi people who are watching us on twitter

hi people on twitter we love you uh-huh we actually do love you there's just it's just you know go where the people are go where the people are and sometimes they're on twitter and sometimes they're on tiktok i cannot believe how much farcaster stuff is on tiktok right now it's

by yeah the way follow gm farcaster on tiktok please

on all the things on all the things

we're everywhere tiktok and twitter and youtube follow us everywhere yeah thank you for following wherever you find us

yeah i just like it's not that deep i think post wherever you wanna post and the only thing i'll say is twitter doesn't pay me every week so i'm not i'm not making any gm gm twitter show so there

carrying on this from grace october feels like a good month to lock in again and that was a quote cast of woj october feels like a good month to lock in again and i think i assume he was quoting you

just kidding and then saying are you looking for a cofounder how funny would that be

grace don't play with my heart and don't play with all of our hearts either

play with our heart don't play with my heart i can't handle it anymore

i had this feeling like if woj and grace start a thing then like all of us have to quit our jobs just so we can watch them

oh that that all needs to be streamed yes

yeah they oh wait we don't have to quit we can just stream there whatever they we

can just talk about whatever they're building i would love to see them working together mostly for the entertainment purposes so i would enjoy that very much so this from ted starting a digital diet so this made some people nervous she's deleting farcaster tiktok instagram and twitter x but she goes on to say she's deleting the phone app phone only phone only laptops are safe just don't wanna be scrolling on my phone so we'll see how that goes i'll be curious to see see how that works for her i don't wanna do that so you're gonna have that situation then when you go away

wait everyone opportunity on the leaderboard just opened up

now is your chance it's your chance it's your chance

make a move people ted is off

time is money time is money get get going this was so funny to watch play out from burberry so she was taking care of her niece and nephew and this was the end of it we did it wildwood amusements ocean city for saltwater taffy and mini golf bentner beaching crabs and buffets more candy movies and memories tons of laughing good job jar paid out i'll show you that in a second i love these monsters so much but please go back home i'm broke and tired now warpcast prepared my bean bag and fun things today multiple times that i didn't pull them all she was just crying out to the timeline about these kids in different ways nobody tells you these little mfers will steal your chicken nuggets people wonder why i don't have kids she also had a jar like a good behavior jar and that was really funny and she was you know she'd take things out when they weren't behaving and then she'd put it back in she started with $20 it was so funny

to watch andy burr andy burr's gotta be the best

i mean right and but also how funny to watch her like struggling with that it was just so funny really enjoyed it made made made for some good entertainment yeah exactly if you're not spoiling your extended fam okay i have a couple more things just a couple this was from nick n t i come back to this app because of interesting conversations plus most people here don't just wanna dunk on each other insta no interesting conversations but no but no dunking reddit h n interesting conversations dunking keyboard warriors x no interesting conversations dunking olympics fun to watch though so i think that's quite accurate i did like julie's additional right down here tokens plus new crypto stuff drama plus tokens it was the other way around videos for entertainment whatsapp text chat for fam and friends telegram text chat for crypto so i thought that was you know we all have our different ways that we use these different apps but i felt like that was fairly accurate on that front and i have a couple more quick things if i can get them to load let's see so this has been our experiment with google tab groups

really we gotta experiment we gotta try things

there we go gotta try things but and there but there we keep like lagging and streaming the stream is still struggling so we need to figure that out

so should we just do it should we just record no more no more live streams just pre prerecorded and

absolutely not what absolute do you know how we know how bad we do with with recordings it's it's a million

times worse yeah we can write ourselves scripts

yeah oh no we're so bad every time we've had to do a script we've had to record it multiple times because we always mess up and it's so bad so no

we mess up we do it we mess up the livestreams too you know it just doesn't matter is that

what we're saying it's just yes it's less pressure

but everybody expects it

as much yeah the expectations are different so i think it's fine i think it's fine so a couple things from us actually or from you one thing from you i just changed my co build coin to cbbtc so if you're using co build and you interact with my cast you'll be buying yourself a little bit of coinbase wrapped bitcoin cbbtc is an easy way to get bitcoin exposure without leaving the eth or base ecosystems rocketman x rays for token name is a little misleading because i haven't raised any for that current token yet $16 for my zora token i don't know

oh look at me giving me back to founders giving feedback i don't

even know founders for that look at that

just being generous so what

was your you talked a little bit about this on friday so why did you decide to do that just

because i did i teased it yeah was like here's an idea because okay so i i think co build is like a really interesting mechanism like similar to tipping but just i i find it more interesting personally and i had people buying my zora token and it was kinda fun for a little bit again i'm not trying to build it up i just enabled it and i was like oh cool you're seeing you know but i like posting to zora i'm not super convicted about having this token like it felt a little like i just mentally i didn't want people buying it that way i don't know it just didn't it's not something i wanted to like lean into and i remembered and i had this idea i'm like well it would be fun to just surprise people with this little gift so i set and you can set your coin to anything it doesn't have to be yours right

yeah that's not for yours

so i set it to the yeah the coinbase wrapped bitcoin and this way anyone who's using coinbase gets a few pennies not coinbase co build gets a few pennies of bitcoin and you know maybe people already have bitcoin exposure but if they don't it's like just a fun way to i love that and i feel like if there's any token that i have some level of conviction maybe there's a few more that like you know if you're gonna if you're gonna put in 5ยข 10ยข 25ยข a dollar 5 dot whatever now that it won't be less than a year from now or two years or three years or five years then bitcoin's the one that's it

i love that and that was like kind of the similar thinking with oh that's my first bitcoin cool similar thinking with horses fax doing weth doing wapdeth same thing same kinda same kinda thing

because one thing co build does is it tells you by the way i love the dashboard page love me love me a dashboard with analytics and data

love it nice

so it will tell you how much money you've spent and then it will tell you your portfolio value and somehow i've noticed my portfolio value always less than the money i've spent

which makes sense for if you're kind of going into many many creator coins

or small coins yeah

but it's like sure i don't know maybe maybe buy bitcoin and it won't be

it's a it's a really interesting idea interesting approach what i did notice with mine though i was still up even though i put more in between what's been purchased like the total is up which is weird yeah but this is the dashboard that she's referring to like as soon as you log in you get this little bit of info as to where you're at and then you can get some other deeper analytics in terms of who's bought and who you backed so you can see all of that

great way to hack the leaderboard because now i don't even know if people are liking my casts because they like my casts or they just wanna buy a little it's like an easy way to buy bitcoin little easy way to buy bitcoin

just like your cast

i i did show up to my app i like opened my app yesterday and i had like 81 notifications so i was like wow it was one person

oh wow oh that's funny

who went and just like liked everything i've ever like liked my last 81 casts

and i was like oh it's because it's

because buying some bitcoin

yeah it's like a fun way to buy bitcoin

maybe alright couple more things hey an easy way for to get a tip from us is to wear a gm farcaster shirt on the timeline

and eric because i'm definitely gonna like that

i'm definitely gonna like that so that was from zaal gm farcaster wearing this awesome shirt on my meetings today we love to see it and then we saw this from caro represent they say yeah they say that look at that that is a great pick holy crap both of these are both of these are but that one with the empire state building in the background fantastic so good so thank you guys for wearing and for sharing even more so i really should hold on let me do a little recast on these two we're we're tipping right now look at that i don't even know what i tip to but i just tip to a bunch of things and then this final thing from adrienne here well gm farcaster have you used our mini app watch farcaster's number one new show without leaving your social feed mint with one click to collect episodes share what you're watching with your followers and i love this nice little new little image you have here too very cute but go check out

pull that image just so you just so you know for the on chain awards for the summer on chain awards it needed a like maybe it wasn't a requirement but you can upload a like a banner image so i built this for our application and then i realized i never shared it on the feed

oh it's perfect it's cute i loved it and yeah so add our mini app because that will let you know also when we are live share if you're watching from there yeah all the things so and also we have shorts in there as well that you can share and our feature partners chat with warpee that's our ai and then you can show us some love as well so and that is it friends that is everything even though we had a very long weekend it was still fairly quiet like yeah we went an hour but it was very yeah

it was was still fairly quiet and we can't stick to twenty nine minutes

we know we know it's become a joke now

yeah by the way we got a threat never to record we must stay live or people will not

recording we're just not i we we know we know we are better live we like the interaction with you all more than anything for me like i like seeing you guys in our chat who interact with us because i think it just brings a little bit more fun to the show so we'll never not do it live next week it will be interesting so we'll have some guest hosts i don't know who yet i'll let you know at the end of this week confirming and because i'm gonna miss adrienne two two and a half weeks without adrienne i don't know if i can do this so i know

i'm gonna miss you guys no

it's gonna be sad we got two more days

we live for live yes exactly humpty exactly humpty knows it's so much that

was we live for live

we live for live no we live for live i agree i think it's a better way to go anyway alright everyone that was fun i still have visions of doing my nails at some point on the on the stream the chipped at some point i still haven't

we haven't talked about my retake oh yeah what happened yeah so i played the retake yeah i found it a little hard to do a little but not retake's fault like actually setting up the stream was fine i did it where i set it up i hooked it up not through streamyard i got the you know

you just did a direct and then oh but then i did see you added to streamyard so we do have

the yeah no i added i didn't do it direct i did it through streamyard to streamyard okay it launched the adrienne token without me wanting to do it because that just happens totally fine with that i could not figure out it was too confusing the whole wallet stuff was confusing like i think it has an integrated it has like an embedded wallet but then it also has being a mini app i guess it has access to your warplet too so it was like not totally clear for me and then you're doing a stream and i was trying to set that up i found it just too hard to also figure out where the where people were chatting how to tip so i gave up on it mika of course was in because mika's a mess they don't yes like they don't sleep

mika never sleeps and and then mika was so helpful the first time i did mine too so helpful was tipping people so i just send them i just sent them some of my token once i got it figured out yeah it was hard to once it's set up it's okay like once you have a wallet set up and have everything ready but like yeah you launch this token and then you actually don't own it owning it own any of it that you can even like tip out or do anything

you do get it i think some is reserved for you that you get after a month or something so then i just kinda gave i was like whatever it'll it'll happen when it happens i don't

have there's reward you know there's the typical clanker stuff too claims right that you can do in the admin but you have to

export your private key from the

what is it the retake app import it into a external wallet then connect to the clanker

yep app it's it's complicated it's complicated it's not it's it's not too straightforward everything's a work in progress but there's lots of things i do appreciate about it like i do like you know i do like the tipping aspects i do like some of those things i like the fact that you can have a chart right there if it was if you were all in on a token and yet that was what you were streaming about all the time that could be very useful like if that was your thing like i could see you know somebody like a jacek or you know what i mean

like i was just like having a weird yeah imagination of us being like the type of people who are gonna be all in on a token and constantly having it as our background like what would

we that's not us but there are those who exist who stream just like that all the time like that's what they do

power to that

and they're all about whatever that community is so i can see that being useful in those kind of instances i could see that you know tony's another good example like i could see him using retake for stuff with better and you know then it makes a little more sense mhmm it probably doesn't make as much sense for us but i'll still jump on there for side streams and i'll probably do that possibly today if i decide to do my nails

i was just gonna say the other thing is i i the reason i started the stream is i just wanted to see how to do it yeah but i didn't really have anything to stream and and i like also the idea of doing more of like the livestream coding but i also am set up on my laptop so then i just like i don't wanna share my entire screen right so it's like wanna share parts but it's not totally and maybe i just need multiple monitors where i can share a monitor without sharing

that's a good idea

like i want more control over what i'm sharing

if you're using in streamyard you should be able to at least do tabs like you should be able to just share by tab rather than window rather than whole screen and manage that

a little coding you're kinda going back and forth to different window and like it's it wasn't super easy so then i didn't do coding i i think i trained a baby mom which took all of about ten seconds to to do and i was like now what do i now what am i gonna do just

now what do i do i think that's i do do and i think that's in general like streaming's good for stuff like that like gaming mhmm that's another place where it makes a lot of sense and that's another place where it might make sense to have you know a chart and things like that depending on what you're gaming if you're gaming clanker clanker mon and you're you know whatever if that was your token that might make sense so i think there's like yeah there's interesting use cases for sure

i had a thought of like maybe streaming i know like either coworking stuff i think having you there or someone like just someone else to join so that there can be something to do i was thinking of maybe streaming the process of making clips for the

that's good idea sending them to because we now do clips we use streamyard ai clips which

are it's pretty good it's they're pretty they're good on everything but the captions sometimes the captions

are fine it messes up something else too because it cuts it tries to edit and cut

so the ones you see are the ones that work half the time some of them are very glitchy yeah so i don't even choose those yeah try opus okay humpty i don't know what opus is but i need

to but that's another like it's another thing where you'd have to upload yeah

we we have other options beauty of yeah because also we were hiring interns and and clip editors but then it's honestly it's just like the it's it's really kind of a pain of just like the moving the files giving instructions like it's such a it's such heavy work for i don't know whatever

yeah so so we continue to experiment but yes i've heard opus is very good i've heard that before people have mentioned that we've used capcut of course for clips and things like that so but it's it's a lot of work it's a lot of work yes we have humpty yes yes we're we're gonna be when is that happening it's soon so what just for those who aren't watching have you talked to lucas from poidh's he's working on something to incentivize the company that's coming is it this week

i think it's on a i think it's just like he's like why haven't you done it yet and i'm like why are doing it

oh i didn't even know it was ready okay

it's ready

by the way didn't it was ready yeah if you're waiting for a dm from me i apologize i'm traveling i'm doing some international travel my mind is not here for another few weeks

she's already gone sorry she's already gone and already gone already gone playing in the background

we probably should start planning we're coming close to our 300 episode

is that i gotta manage when that happens

is that the start of season four

it'll be the start of season four yeah so we'll have a little break too while adrienne's gone but yeah we gotta figure that out we're at yeah you're going to base camp 84 yeah i'm going to base camp there's a lot of things happening so it will be our we'll have like a anniversary celebration or whatever when adrienne gets back and when we hit season four so it'll be sometime after she

have an idea for three

for two years episode 300 we shall stream for 300 straight okay

that's i can do that gonna do

oh like as long as it's not twenty four hours i can do it

never again i'm never doing it

this is like it's symbiote symbiote you will appreciate this you know it it's like it's like learning the lesson all over again last year we did the twenty four hour stream even though i said we really this is a mistake we did it anyway but like half of it we just did prerecorded stuff and then now it's gonna be the 300 stream which we also did with we did one time with the noun square i can't remember i think i forget which anniversary it was but we did something like that it was like okay we're not doing a whole whole twenty four hours we'll do a smaller one

okay when i was in college when i was in college at penn state the big greek life philanthropy was a forty eight hour dance marathon

and all the and it was we raised money for childhood cancers and it was so fun so you would get dancers who would each fraternity or sorority would put up two dancers literally it was from friday night to sunday night and they'd be in a room and there'd be a dj there the whole time every hour on the hour the entire room would do like a line dance there was one line dance that was created for every year and then i never did the i never participated as a dancer but you could sign up as i forgot what they called them morale morale they called me i don't know

but you could

like share yeah like you sign up for slots so you can get there you know and it was so fun so so fun they still do it it's called dance marathon

that's awesome

so in my mind i was like oh we could do something like that but i realized it's very different on a stream than in person with djs and lots of people so i apologize that was a bad idea it was don't have a good idea had fun we had

some great like great content but yeah three hundred minutes is plenty

300 poaps yeah it's a it's a lot of poaps

we got a lot of poaps speaking of i was testing i was working with poaps studio poaps studio they are creating a frame a frame

jesus i'm sorry a what

a mini a mini do they tweet about it too do they tweet about their frame

on blue sky

on blue sky yeah so anyway and it's very cool so might start to try and incorporate some poaps here and there so but more on that later awesome but that would be a great opportunity to do so would be something like that after each segment do a little poap have a little have a little scavenger hunt of sorts something like that so fun fc dance dance party that's funny yeah so anyway and yes you will see me at base camp adrienne will not be there but she will be at devconnect and we'll be talking more about devconnect tomorrow so this is a good place to end us and wrap this up so we'll have chaskin and nathan on tomorrow to chat about all things devconnect so if you're interested if you're gonna be going look for that and that is what time are we doing that did you put great time

it's a great question we have our guests coming on at 10:30am eastern time wednesday and then we just have to decide about our new show we wanna
