so this is a sample prototype that just landed in my mailbox yesterday and we're gonna get another sneak peek at something else this is a better hoodie and we're gonna get zoomed in on these fancy little metal
nice oh this is fancy
you know what this is tony knows what these are called but because he asked for them specifically but they're like they have a name and they're he requested
know what they are
oh yeah oh yeah cool when nice when
nice so we wanted to keep and this is just the sample but we wanted to keep it relatively simple just be and of course these this was a must have according to toady was these little cookies i don't know whatever
i don't know
and the string simple string thing
this is kind of wind that's hidden in the back and so it's kind of like a secret if you know what it is and then you see it if somebody else is in kind of nfts or web free or whatever they're gonna be like i know what that is but yeah these just kind of landed on my doorstep yesterday as a test and cat and s i wanna call them savage
the one thing that
they do really well is they send samples of the merch before we do any kind of fulfillment
this is minted merch minted
nice with
cat cartel and savage and the best part of their merch is it's mega soft and you can't really see it because my lighting's horrible and we didn't get to correct that but you could sleep in this thing and it's very very warm for people who have the bankrr hoodie this is the same who produced the bankrr hoodie and you could just be out in nuclear winter in this thing very very warm
the bankrr merch is so well done it's so cool i love it i just had a combo with kat and yeah i'm i'm expecting some some stuff at at base camp so next i i'm and any you know when merch exactly exactly zero rights collective when merch is the question for you sir i need that hat i definitely need that hat if you guys are watching on twitter or if you're on farcaster either one go share and let everybody know we are live i'm just doing my last share very excited very excited to have you here today we have guest cohosts all week burr is with us today rachel wilkins will be with us wednesday and the toadyhawk will be with us friday so it's very like neon coated week so it's gonna be fun
not better in the fact that
not better for that but it is better it's a better kinda week it's a better kinda week alright let's dive in because we got stuff to chat about it's a little quiet i gotta say little quiet but we've got a few things going on so this was from our friend bradq it's twenty nine seconds of farcaster what did you miss this weekend tldr released bracky two point o we're gonna talk a lot about that so we'll dive into that more interesting opportunity with clanker mon and clank collectibles there's two auctions that are happening for clanker mon we're gonna dive into that as well in other news nobody cares about decentralization with one notable exception that everybody cares about decentralization and i think that sums up that debate quite well it's that everybody and nobody cares interesting share from deployer on how easy easy it is to bridge to other chains with bankr cassie was busy this week with lots of equilibrium this might be a place to start and in final roundup news burrr survived abandonment from the assistance of sleepover
airs and pwr shared an fc mission statement build a credibly neutral decentralized protocol used by 1,000,000,000 plus people every day always love twenty nine minutes of farcaster thank you bradq and i think i have to actually get this out i forgot to talk to adrienne about that we also sent this out as a newsletter and he forgot how she does that so we're gonna figure that out today i'm doing a lot of like things in the background that adrienne normally does because she's really off the grid and i'm like i don't even know how
how much people do until they're gone you're like oh my gosh i can't live without this person literally
you can't i seriously can't yeah like we can make it three weeks but that's why next week i'm literally just taking the whole week off because i'm like i can't i can't do i can't do back to back weeks with like trying to figure this out without her anyway moving on
we will miss all we will miss you both cold off the grid but you deserve a whole week off without anything
we're going to you i know you'll see me on the timeline i'll be at base camp and sharing lots of stuff from there but that's next week right now we're still here so this and i'm i'm really excited to talk to you about this this is from horsefacts sure sign of a scam lately is a slick app that appears fully formed out of nowhere promising you free money don't let them run this rug playbook and this was in particular some folks talking about far legacy and some others and i think horsefacts has a nice list here created by a brand account with zero history slick but shallow website mining for anything appropriating fc native brands we built a cool game but you can't see it it's always a good one that goes way back that's going way back to the to the old school playbook nobody's ever met the team pay us now and you might get something later have said it before but the social layer needs to police this and build immunity against this behavior farcaster cannot simply ban scammers and i think that's a really important point because you we can you know we can hope that we can find that the team will protect us or whatever there's only so much they can do because what if they get it wrong also but i and that's another reason why for me when we're sharing stuff on here i'm usually pretty careful about what we share but there are times where we were talking about the balloon app you know i was like okay and but we were talking about it with i don't know what this is we don't know who the team is right and it was before they launched a token and it was like you know you pop a balloon you get a penny and i was like i don't know it was really and adrienne's like why so it's really one of those like it's hard to you know so there's been a couple that i haven't even talked about at all because i don't wanna necessarily amplify them i also don't wanna call them out if i'm wrong because what if they're a legit team and it's tricky so your thoughts because i know you've you've talked a lot about this
so it's a really delicate balancing act because you can't outright say hey i think this project is a scam and the way that i have found the way that i have found in group chats let's just say in group chats because this is the delicate way of dancing around it because this is the one the first social layer of not getting yourself kind of like accosted as the black sheep as the person who calls people scams like oh burr called me a scammer again right so the way that i go about this is i kind of put the the layer of responsibility onto people and right because there's an easier way to go about this instead of identifying a certain thing as a scam you identify the people circling around it as the signals right there are certain people and through no fault of their own or through intentional intentionality they're the ones that are kind of falling susceptible to these kind of scams and so this is the easiest way to do this because you're not kind of identifying someone as being the person who's responsible for it or the person who is intentionally falling for it or the person who is so gullible that they fall for it every time you're not saying this person is doing it because of this reason so there you're kind of observe absolving yourself of that responsibility so you're saying hey if you're starting to see this circle of friends doing this hey the next time they show you something maybe identify it as a yellow warning sign so that it happens again while they become a counter signal
so let's her i like the idea of that they're a counter signal like or counter certain people who like you know they always tend to violate they do it's it's kinda funny
do certain things right because then you can start to see where they're getting their information how how slow is the information trickling down where what group chats are they in right because someone's dumping on them they're dumping on someone else because then some other late friend comes in they're like hey did you hear about pop fighter like jesus christ man that was two weeks ago where are you getting your information from right so then you start putting these groups in baskets and you're starting to identify them and then you're starting to see who was earliest to that scam now you're like man are they responsible for the scam are they the person closest to that letter and then you start you're not exactly zach xbt but you start identifying your friend layer as who is the closest one to this per so anyway you start seeing this and you start seeing it on the timeline and just as your own personal trader you start staying away from those friends people who right let's just say they were associated with a project that rhymes with oxy right and i just held on to the very very end and and you're like you still wanna be friends with that person but they were just like really really stubborn about it and like the only reason i say that is because that was one of the biggest projects that separated friend groups and their opinion and whatnot who maybe they stayed loyal to that project but like that was kind of early on the project we all started to get to know each other and it was like that's how we kind of divided which projects were separating who anyway fast forward to today you're starting to see all these scams farcaster cannot be the know all be all set to say who can do what the only thing we can do is kind of put out the information that some of us who have been around here for a while and say this is what we've seen in the past this is how they operate this is the known playbook that they do and kind of put that on the timeline and hopefully
yeah
those of us that are still around can kinda say this is what we've seen before this is how they operate hey stay away and people can do what they want with that farcaster can nerf these accounts hopefully it doesn't stay around but ultimately we're the people who press the buttons right we're gonna buy this token or not gonna buy it and hopefully you can educate yourself with the information that's on the timeline
and they've done that like they've done i think they've reacted quickly when they had enough information like when they can be like okay yes this is definitely a problem this is definitely a scam we and nerf those accounts but it's they have to be you know on their end they don't wanna make that mistake either and pick the wrong the wrong ones yes to crypto many such cases i made $5 popping 300 balloons and lost $2.60 on a token yeah i i feel bad for for this because i think that one in particular we weren't expecting as much like it was the like the first one i saw that was kind of in this vein where it had built up some trust over time it wasn't like really fast so it was enough time that people had some trust or had built some trust and then all of a sudden like you know it kinda it kinda happened sort of out of nowhere that the token launches and then rug very quickly but it was it was there for a while before that happened and they even like added some fun upgrades and did little like they were doing the kind of things you expect from projects to do in a way that kind of i think some of us got a little lazy i did i was like not expecting that and i should have been a little more vigilant but it just and now i am like now i'm okay got it now i've got this new playbook i understand i'm on the lookout i'm being a lot more cautious even in just sharing something new on here i'm being way more cautious now so that's always new
that's the most important thing right when you see something that happens and you were you fell for it in whatever way whatever social engineering way you fell for it the most important thing is to say how was i responsible what did i do how could i have negatively affected the next person whether it was
right
like you it's not necessarily to say hey i pointed this link and said to my friend dufi you should buy this no where you just simply did i like did i recast did i share whatever it was because and if you if every single person takes that one extra step to say should i recast this that will save just one more person then this place becomes just a little bit safer
a little safer yeah it's yeah it's it's tough though it it's you know you have to it it's very much a buyer beware you know caveat on tour for everybody like this whole space is like that and i think that's important like you do have to own your choices but at the same rate that doesn't you know take the scammer off the hook we're not saying that but being a little bit vigilant and just knowing like this is all still new we're still navigating things and there isn't you know it's hard to know who to trust and i've said this a million times but i'll say it again trust is the real currency of web three so anything that you're doing you're you're kind of taking in all the information do i trust this account who are they what you know who else do they know who else follows them and you take all that information sometimes that's useful sometimes it's not like sometimes you know you could have somebody like a d w r jesse following and they don't realize so it's not necessarily an obvious signal but it's a one another piece of information so and until you've actually met a person irl like that's the final trust factor and even that i've had people who ended up being kinda scammy even who i had met irl and and like thought okay they seem like legit so it still can happen but it's less likely it's just less likely
so when you're yeah reassessing something about a coin or a token launch it's there's a something called i something i call the little sister test and my little sister would call is like nhp which is g g you see her in the poker streets and would i would i send this link directly to gigi does she know enough to take this cast process it and make a decision about it and would it harm her and if i would send it to her then i'll recast it to all my followers because i feel like she's a good litmus litmus test for crypto and she has enough knowledge about tokens not to get drained could i send this to her safely
and right
that's the little sister test and if you do that very quickly i feel like that's a good responsibility test for recast about tokens and things like that
and when i'm talking to my students i'll put it this way i tell them not to buy anything like while they're in the class do not buy anything i give them a little bit of crypto to use so they learn how to use a wallet they use learn how to do a swap so they can learn some things but i don't want them buying anything because it's very easy to just not know what you're doing and and get caught up in a fomo and next thing you know you're losing money and i'm like i do not need parents in my email you know emailing my boss and being like what the heck
exactly so i've made that rule for every single class since i've been teaching it since 2022 then we also like talk about a lot of that stuff in class alright so yeah i i also think you know something else to keep in mind krell oh no cal sixty six
yeah cal six six dot eth who has the like he's posts a lot in the police channel good person to follow like he's on the lookout he's looking at things he's asking questions he's raising concerns when he's seeing things that don't look legit just you know another person to kinda just keep in mind zach xbt is great on twitter but he's doing big big big scams like he's looking at you know north korea taking billions not like popfi balloon app taking thousands
and and just to be clear when i wrote this cast i don't think that a all a non devs are bad when i said hiding their identity like deployer is an a non dev but when he creates contracts he can look and say that's from by deployer he doesn't hide his identity i know who wrote this project but popeye i had dmed keels weeks before popeye launched a token and said can you tell me who this dev is and those devs create contracts and move their identities put it through all different types of tornado just hiding their identities on purpose and it's like you're creating a legitimate project why are you doing this
why are to
intentionally hide who you are and it's just the first sign of a bad project if you wanna know who someone is and they're intentionally hiding who they are this is sign of a bad project instantly full stop you just stop looking
it took me it honestly took me a long time to trust deployer for that reason and and he's absolute legit builder has built many things as it but it took longer for me to trust deployer because of that reason and i think that's a good thing like it should take a little like i'm all for you know you wanna protect your identity wanna stand on i get it this is part of the part of the deal but it's gonna take me a little longer to trust you through your act
i'm gonna watch your actions i'm gonna watch how you walk not just how you talk so but
yes so it works well do
a longer and i think that's probably a good you know good approach for most people and then i liked this within this thread there was a little bit more about like green flags you know what's the contrast and you know because matthewfox jumped in and said clanker ma'am he said yes let's contrast as an exercise made by a known team with lots of activity unrelated to the project so they're just part of the community as well built iteratively in public saw it on the timeline in the dev chat took time and effort did not appear out of nowhere meaningfully engaged with user feedback built the app before bothering with a marketing page or twitter check also for me i added a few went on gm farcaster like you know amazing actual is live you know also matthewfox was at karaoke at farcon and i met him irl and then you know they're irish so that always gives you a boost so anyway be safe out there folks it's you know on these streets always have to be safe it's it can be a little little crazy okay moving on nothing's guaranteed though nothing's guaranteed and like i'm about to share something and i don't know who these who these devs are and i'm but also they weren't asking me for money so i could share i could trust a little better so this is from plotchy if dwr is engaged with any of your content in the history of farcaster you just got airdropped one of his casts for the people who he engaged with the most likes replies recast follow we airdropped more all 4,500 users included got at least one top 500 got another plus six top 60 got another 10 i think i might be in that group because i got a lot anyone who has won one of his cast in auction got another plus six go see yours in the mini app so this was a dwr cast mini app it's kinda cute and they also send it as an nft so you can see it in your collectibles at first you couldn't you could only see it in the mini app but it's there now and it's just his cast and it was really it's kind of a cute little cute little app each of the 12,000 plus dwr cast were hand typed by dwr himself the traits we we imprinted on them were in relation to his typical slang his posting cadence and his common topics of discussion so i thought this was just really fun and creative really cute liked it and yeah very enjoyable so thanks for that plotchy
and this was really funny from varun composability was a mistake people are too unhinged and then i said okay burr what's composability
i was like okay prop gave me one piece of homework i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna look this up right before i go on the show and then everything went to shit right before it went on
the show just the permissionlessness of being able to take things on the protocol and mix mix them them up and create them on your own i think varun's point was like you know going too much to d w r's head
all i read was people are too unhinged and i just knew he was correct they are too unhinged
that's all you needed to know
honestly all you needed to know couple other fun things from me i haven't had class for two weeks because we had labor day last week and then i have a monday class which i thought was a tuesday class but it's monday class for those of you who've been here for a bit you know that story so anyway i have class tonight we're they're gonna get a new assignment where they have to look at some mini apps i had asked in a thread a while back a couple weeks ago for suggestions and now i put these all into one big thread with the links to the mini app so that this just to make it a little easier for the students so that's what this thread is but also for those who might be interested there are some great suggestions here both for me but also there was the thread of people giving suggestions which is also in here so just kind of leaving this for folks because
you're gonna talk to your students yeah i know that was ballsy ballsy triumph believe me so if you're interested and you wanna you know some starter for different types of mini apps this is a good thread to start with and also to see what other people commented so they have three different categories they need to dive into gaming which is the easy one educational i kinda took it away from utility and productivity mostly just educational and then crypto integration so something that has some kind of crypto integration so i have like all the games all the different types of games but then also paragraph pods in kiwi news where they have to find something that's crypto related and then i added like ponder warplot scratch and pixar didn't happen and kenny has set up specific bounties for fgcu so for my students so yeah i know it's very sweet so yeah so very exciting for them to see that today and also we may or may not play around with clanker during class today so just be aware of that i have given you the alpha do with that what you will not until this evening so we got a way ways to go one other funny thing that i posted that i casted yesterday was my kiddo has been watching movies oh yeah old movies and going back and this was really fun and we just watched goodwill hunting again and and things like that and this is a list of this is his list of his movies he has rewatched or watched in the past year and like ranked them but what was really cool was other people were adding to this cast like you and a lot of really good suggestions and symbiotech went like hog wild and like this one is just amazing his his is amazing so there's a few like that so if you're looking for movies good movie suggestions this is a great thread to check out so that was really fun
i always love when a great movie thread erupts i'm like a huge movie we actually went back kirk and i are actually back into like the early two thousand late nineties time period because i feel like that's the best time period for movies i don't know what bitfloor would say but him and i kind of met on twitter as movie buddies back in like probably
really 2012
oh that's wild
a decade now for from crypto twitter and he's the one that dragged me over here from crypto twitter yeah before
i did not know that connection that's cool
i know the reply guys connection i knew you were big in that particular channel for a long time
but i didn't realize that was the reason you
have to come over here it's fun didn't come over here weeks later are you coming and then i finally came over
that's amazing so thanks fifth floor's ghost we appreciate you for bringing burr over here yeah that's that's really cool that is very very cool okay so we've got some other news just pulling this up right now this is from this is the base section of our discussion this is from our friend mike throwback to yesterday when jesse.base.eath congratulated the winners of log a dog season two several people earned thousands of dollars on chain by posting pics of themselves eating hot dogs so i mean amazing crazy yes the catch none why showcase the possibilities unlocked by building with on chain lego blocks like clanker zora and base i love logadog i just think it's a really cute app i think it's a really just nice idea so mike i enjoy that and i like that it's like for a season it's not like you know what i mean it's like a nice like it connects really well with the summer it's just i don't know just makes me smile
yeah it's just a fun little fun little app and just a lot
so thank you for that it's over now this from base app live now in beta trade straight from your feed base app brings the market to you discover and trade without switching a tab or changing apps all in real time so very cool new improvements if you haven't updated your base app lately go make sure you do that if you're in the beta the other thing i'm supposed i i think they finally got me the links so that my students will be able to get into the beta of base app as well so they'll be playing around with that yeah so i have to get them all fully set up some of them had missed the class when we set up some of those wallets so we'll get the rest of them set up today so this will be fun so moving on this from adrienne tba feedback can these auto expire without me having to decline them and i hope these people requesting money for no reason from people they aren't connected to get put on the naughty list i'm putting this on the don't do this in the don't do this channel
don't do this that was one of the first things i noticed about tba when i opened it up was requests for money from people i didn't even know and i right shut down tba and was like i'll come back later i'm just gone no i'll be back don't want i don't want this in my life i have enough of this yeah already
i know it's it's very like twitter coded is in my in my mind like that's something that i used to get in my dms on twitter so yeah okay i think it's calmed down a little bit but there was a moment where it was kinda popping off yeah and then this from pugson in our our base section here day seven of asking people what is base camp and it's really i was noticing he was only getting like joke answers and i'm like okay
i'll be honest i i i will be honest i know i'm supposed to know what it is but i actually don't know what it is either like well i mean i probably could give a good guess but it's like i'm not going so i don't exactly know what it is
so i finally explained it and he's like thank you finally a real answer it's just a gathering of bass builders people who are building on bass and last year was the first year it was at idlewild during fwb fest which is a whole big music and crypto festival the year before that's where base launched so they launched at idlewild during fwb fest so in or like sort of to celebrate the first year anniversary jesse wanted to bring it back there and that's what he did last year this year moving it to the east coast it's in vermont jesse likes mountains the the dude likes mountains so it's always in like a mountain kind of quiet area and it's really just getting builders together letting them get connected getting to hear what people are building whether that's mini apps projects you know chains whatever you know who knows like l threes all these different kinds of things so talking about that and also the base team will probably be talking about where what's what they built the past year sort of like here's where we are here's where we're going kinda stuff also i think yeah brian was there via zoom last year brian armstrong so jesse did like a chat with him the whole team was there so we'll see you know what this year brings but that's sort of the overview of what it is that makes sense if
you're were asking me if i was going or not because i was like why are people asking me if i'm going to this now it makes sense because it's on the east coast and it's near me yeah okay it's not that far
it is invitation only you had to apply and then they accept you know different people based on what are you building on base and things like that and also space wise so i think they i think they expanded a little bit more because i saw some people just get approved recently so yeah so that's what it is and i'll be heading there next week along with oh that's awesome lot of folks i think toady's going too
no it's next week next week it is so next week i'm heading to vermont that's why i was like okay next week we'll just take the week off so we'll be up there yeah it'll be fun and and somebody called it farcon for baseapp blue or blue farcon accurate similar similar vibes
nerd gathering absolutely yes nerd gathering absolutely nerd gathering okay gathering of builders yeah
we need some poker at this nerd gathering by the way speaking of nerds building things just kidding on base nerds building things on base
my favorite nerds
one of my favorite nerds introducing bracky two point o trade on x new mini app all nfl games live let's have some fun and so this is
you're mad
can you take your money
he didn't just take my money man he needled me yesterday and he mushed me he caused me to lose 360,000 brakki and he did it on the timeline so rude
so rude so rude
funny well we might talk about it a little bit here if you need someone to talk you off the ledge it ain't bracky
so yeah so there you go bracky's like yeah sorry about that sorry you lost that at the super bowl sounds like a you problem basically that's what he said
oh bracky this is really fun though it's been fun to see this expansion oops i guess i had that twice this was your tweet hey bracky let me get involved over here on twitter so what has been your experience did you try it over on twitter already
i saw that he went live on twitter and i was curious about the process more so i was curious about how someone would go about doing it on twitter and i was curious about the wallet process so i was like let me go over there and mix it up with my friend bracky who historically has been mean to me on farcast since
that's so funny
be nice to me on twitter now so i go on over there and surprising not surprisingly it was so easy i go over there not only can i bet with bracky but i can use my farcaster wallet super easy it works the same way as it works on farcaster all the bets were he gave me my options for betting which were the games that were that day i could also bet off bet on the playoff probabilities and the
one we say we can trade we trade we don't bet
we trade and we can also trade sorry we used to have to handshake when we finally agreed on what the trade was going to be and then i'm like hey bradq do we have to do our signature handshake he's like no he's like we don't do that anymore that's inefficient i'm like i liked our our handshake then i go over and i realized what this 25,000,000 was when i lost in the super bowl every single time that brackey like goes off i'm like oh man i think about that 25,000,000 i lost
and it's like
double again i tweeted or i cast it on farcaster and he's like yeah but you're about to win 360,000 from that bet you placed on twitter and he's like you have fifteen minutes to go you're like a like a huge favorite to win that bet and then you know but the ravens lose
and the ravens lose
oh well
yeah i i also also lost on the ravens yesterday so craziness crazy
it's magic internet money and it's fine i think i'm still way ahead just on my airdrop alone so all good but lots of fun love to see this love to see the expansion yeah everything i've heard about the connection between like twitter and your bracket wallet and your in the app and all this is it seems to be running very smoothly mega smooth i think as long as your twitter is connected to your farcaster account i'm assuming so very cool so go check that out if you haven't already and congrats to the bracket team alright we've come a long way that's for sure in other builder news reply is the new token for this week for tippin and you had a allocation as do i well though mine's gone now i used it all up already but very cool to see tip in in you know kinda moving things around and i like sort of their approach to this with these allocations from other tokens like it's adding a little bit of fun so if you have tip in if you have reply go check if you've if you've been a tip in allocator before you likely have an allocation this time so go into the tip in app and check that out because you might have one and not even realize so very cool did you use yours up yet or you still still got it rolling
oh that's alright

correctly it came out around the same time as eggs did i could be totally wrong but it was around the same time around eggs when that project dropped where you you have the chicken and you collect collect the eggs every day and then i think it came around the same time but i could be wrong
don't know
a lot of eggs
all about the freaking eggs
it's all it's all it's all burrr duch's fault it's just plain burr duch alright while we're talking clanker months and before we wrap up with some stuff from better i am going to reveal my new clanker months so if you haven't done this yet
the reveal is really fun
i have spent way too much on clanker mods let me be very clear about this this is this is my financial advice is don't just don't like this is not speculation of any sort i just have a problem i've made
yeah i'm like what is wrong with me i'm not gonna be able to do it because of the gas
oh the gas isn't bad i'll do it oh that's not that bad there have been times where it said like point o two and i'm like i don't know so we'll just do this one so you all can see it let's everyone fingers crossed for
you want a veteran or uni oh i'd love a uni
to reveal oh veil oh didn't have this one oh very cool i don't
alright i'm revealing one more i'm gonna do one more and then i'll do the other ones later so i do wanna do a couple in class so i can check okay so we're gonna do one more
one more i'd like something pink please something pink would be lovely or brachi i don't have a brachi either
let's see what we got oh a higher
have a higher okay great these are great yeah alright love it very exciting very exciting i'll flex on the feed oh definitely flex up share it i gotta share that one we'll flex that one on the feed so these are i just am really enjoying clanker i just think it's it's very fun i love the team and i'm just it's just fun
so it's just like it's enough clicking throughout the day it's like not so much that you're like oh my god i have to feed my clanker mon it's like not overly just enough clicking i can't really explain it i was talking to matthew the other day in dms and i'm like i'm the perf maybe we're the perfect demographic because probably was like complaining about something about failing a dungeon i'm like why do you what are you complaining about i'm like i love clanker mod i'm like i don't care if i fail i'm just like i wanna click buttons and i wanna mint i wanna mint a uni so bad so maybe it's just like the the middle aged women love clanker mon i don't know what it is maybe maybe matthew should just do a group chat with us going and
i do matthew
give him the feedback for how to get all our money because we're like here matthew just take the phone and all the crypto because we we wanna we wanna click
i was like what do you mean i can only do five i was like
love my thing come on
i want them all and let let me have them now the other thing i was i was confused about dungeons because i thought if it fails a dungeon it's gone and it's not necessarily the case it's just that it it depends on their health level and their level that they're on and all this stuff so i was like oh okay i feel better now so now i'll probably experiment more so
i didn't know it it would tell you if you were gonna die so i was like furiously keeping them full health i was like i can't lose one because i had like 11 i was like well i could afford to lose one i have five gundrr i have five horses i'm like one could go with those i could afford
i have like two blondes that's why i was playing with the blonde one first because i was like okay if i lose one i've got another
yeah that's they
tried to give one to adrienne and she was like no i wanna grow one from start i'm like that's gonna take a little bit she's very yes the horse
so she's going on vacation she would that was the thing she was worried about was that her clanker moms her baby moms were gonna die and it was and so she was like yeah so she was afraid and she's like trying to get it to full health so it wouldn't die on her
she's gonna give her private keys to someone else to feed that clanker mons because it's gonna die
i think she decided she she might have gotten it there i'm not sure if she did but if she didn't i think she was gonna let it go she was just gonna have to let it go hey you can do a quest and yet well that's a quest at some point yeah it's a quest
so there you go there you go which is alright by the way i know was very smart you want a quest very smart makes you feel better even if you sail a dungeon you get a quest it's awesome
yeah yeah so there you go don't be afraid
alright let's talk a little bit about better before we wrap so better and betterments this was from toadyhawk someone asked me yesterday if there was any trick we were using to keep betterment ranked in the farcaster top 10 trending mini apps for so long it's currently number one i don't know if it is at this moment but it was at that moment honestly net nose and i were not clever enough to devise some complicated scheme to drive excessive transaction volume and appears an app opens to stay trending so instead we just ship things that we thought would make people wanna open the app every day and do some real transactions staking daily stake claims spins and of course rounds of betterment easy game yeah so if you're not familiar with how those rankings work for mini apps it's mostly based on opens like daily opens and transactions so obviously the better app is gonna have both of those in spades so especially now with staking so for those who may not be familiar actually i should let you tell this for those who are new and who are like i have no idea what better is what is better what is better and betterment
better is a mini app that helps creators get better and while that sounds really simple we utilize a series of different actions to help bolster the betterment of creators using a wheel we support creators' growth by showcasing their content to the betterment the better community three times a week monday wednesdays and fridays people will mint the content of that featured creator and for every one mint they will be able to spin a wheel and there are two jackpots they can win each day and if you hold 50,000,000 better you're get access to the betterment group chat which allows you to spin the wheel ten minutes early than the public and also gets you access to public or i'm sorry poker secret poker and let me think there's so many different things i'm like there's so my eyes i'm like oh man this is a long elevator pitch but basically no
it's just it's crazy because there's too many things but also here's the demo page that i wanna re i'm gonna relaunch it because the loading is just cute so that's why
but it's a great demo page so if you go to betterment.fun/demo you can see what it is with that when it's not an actual mint happening and you can click to spin so it shows you how you you know go through the process and then the fun little wheel that spins and it gives you gives you the vibe it tells you like you know gives you an idea and you can see what you want etcetera etcetera this is bogus better so it's not real that's how it works so if you've never had an opportunity to play that just gives you a little bit of what the vibe is like and then we have staking now so this is fairly new in the past couple weeks and so you can stake your better in here in this why are you being so difficult tommy in this mini app and when you stake you each day get a chance to spin a wheel to claim your staking rewards you spin a wheel for an opportunity to win a little bit more but you also claim your rewards and can restake right in that same app so that's been really cool and it was a really smart approach to sort of giving people a benefit and a reason to continue holding
so i've liked i've really liked it and also i'm sorry but the wheel is just fun that's the fun
everyone loves spinning this wheel three days a week so i think toady and nettos were like alright well let them spin five five days a week let them log in you on the wheel you have three different new jackpots $150,000,000 that you can win 10,000,000 and every single day somebody will win 1,000,000 better on that wheel and we realized that you know if they these better degenerates wanna spin a wheel we'll let them spin another wheel so five days a week they log in there
and the wheel is fun
yeah people ask why better and i think it's just we like to have fun over here and that's why they hired me as chief fund officer so we can have you
move on i won the jackpot a whole bunch of fake better
on that one it's just really it is really fun the other thing you guys have been doing is a lot of poker so you came on as the chief fund officer your former professional poker player are you still playing you're not playing professionally anymore is that correct
and like usually i play poker way better
it's just way more fun but i do play poker sometimes i think i'm gonna sport this fancy new hoodie at the next poker tournament play oh epigrata
you should
hopefully this september but yeah and i get to do things like this so know you one of the things we we believe in is if you have skin in the game we should just award and have fun with those people also but yeah staking sunday high stakes sundays basically we're gonna have an ascending scale of every sunday if you stake more we're gonna play poker with you on sundays 5,000,000 25,000,000 50,000,000 and 200,000,000 staking tiers every sunday and on the 200,000,000 staking sunday the last sunday in september i think we're gonna try to load that up with prizes for whoever is staking over 200,000,000 but this sunday we had i think 35 players come out if you were staking at least 5,000,000 and it's just a fun way to give back to the community who believes the most
yeah love that and then there's also like the there's secret better tournaments or if you are a better believer so your stake you have at least 50,000,000 that you're holding in better and then there's also like the regular games so these games are open to anyone any the regular those are twice a week and tuesdays thursdays
very cool you don't you don't need to be holding any better for these correct this is a great way to win some
we want we have every level of believer you were looking at the project and you think you would like to get involved come join us on tuesdays and thursdays and if you would like to see if maybe it's for you we have staking tournaments if you stake 5,000,000 just pretty much every tier for believer you can test out and see if this project's for you but we would invite anybody to try and come out and have fun with us
come play come play it's fun if you want to know what's going on check out the better channel b e t e b e t r slash b e t r has everything that's going on right because there's always something new right now it's g matcha monday so now there's pairing up with matcha our friends at matcha so that's amazing whole bunch of just like fun art contests that have happened poker gets posted in here staking information you can find out what toady's gonna be buying once better hits a 50,000,000 market cap and working for
know if you did you see this this was so funny david noun yeah so he's only working with david wen if you're there's also like so what happens is if you have if you're holding 50,000,000 better and you're in the better believers chat you get a little early opportunity to spin and to dive in on the monday wednesday fridays and what happens right before that is a whole bunch of people typing win in very creative ways it's actually very funny it's kind of a it's a fun moment i have my alarm set at to ten minutes before and i go in the chat and just see what's going on and it's really funny the other thing was co build added teams within co build and better was one of the first ones so you can if you're using co build to buy tokens as you're liking people's cast you can now set that to if people like yours they can be buying better so lots of cool things happening what did i miss so many things
many trying to
think believe i was just thinking accidentally took on a task to produce wednesday winners starting this wednesday oh what's that a list of everyone who's won a jackpot this week and other things for contests and poker yeah i didn't realize i accepted that responsibility but i think i did and that will be coming at you this wednesday
amazing oh hold on we got a alpha oh new wheel drop new wheel new wheel what
what day is this it's i guess maybe you're getting a new wheel today i don't know i don't know
and yes to crypto would like to know when 700,000,000 staking tier
questions i'm gonna tell you right now now he's staking 701,000,000 i guarantee you because he likes to be at the top of every leaderboard and he ain't gonna let you there so i'm just saying my guess i
that is so funny oh and he said there's a poker game scheduled for base camp well i want in just saying so i want i want in on that alright so do the demo again you already saw the new wheel oh wait wait wait oh what do i miss something a new wheel did i miss something it didn't look new hold on hold on
me go back hold on well also you know what let me reshare this as just the tab so you hear the sound because you're not hearing the sound right now so let me just redo really quick so that you guys get the sound as well and we'll see what's going on with apparently we have a new wheel and it's very exciting alright so we're gonna click to spin hopefully we get the sound oh we didn't get the sound damn it i was hoping for sound oh it's because i have it turned off a mess
there's twenty one i don't but it didn't look the same to me what am i missing what's the real difference i'm not seeing a difference am i crazy there's only one jackpot that's one thing oh maybe there's more there are 10 x in
there's a yeah maybe there's other okay i see one jackpot pot instead of a jackpot and a mini
i don't know
i can take a look hold on hold on let's go back let's go back alright tony we don't know we're not seeing it's just a small design refresh nothing major okay
oh redesigned fonts and stuff like that okay
colors color for the jackpot okay i see
yeah okay probably because i complained about the wheel being of poor quality the other day when i spun it and i was like oh what what's wrong with this wheel it's all like blurry and they're like
i see yeah i see now what you mean
oh that's funny
they also told me they were gonna get me a new iphone as an employee i'm waiting in the mail for it
