yeah it might might become my permanent background
it's so nice like your photos were incredible incredible
okay i have probably a thousand photos on my camera roll and i just sit there and scroll and i'm like oh this is one is more beautiful than the next and i love sharing them and i also brought my mirrorless sony camera which is like a better camera
oh cool yeah yeah
have you
i haven't
looked at
the you
haven't even looked at those yet oh okay i can't wait to see those you should dare i say coin it like or funny so say or create a collection actually i'd rather see them as nfts just so that i don't know
how should i yeah so at some point i need to go and create like a gallery somewhere yeah i'm gonna blog about it like i'll do like an actual recap somewhere and then someone did tag me and said like okay but can you mint them as nfts so we can collect them yeah like what is the easiest way to do that these days
probably highlight highlight is good i like highlight manifolds another option you can create collections on there and i think those are the best options right now if there if you guys have other suggestions and you're in our chat drop in it what you're using we'd love to know but those are the ones from folks that i've talked to who are minting regularly or using there's also blueprint which is fairly new i don't know enough about that one so can't speak to that too much
yeah or zuora
you definitely like zuora but that's your coining it's not an nft so it just depends on how you
want to put it out
in the world i'd rather collect your these as nfts personally but that's me
i'm surprised to hear you say that
it's
me you know you know how i am you know how i do so i have to shoot note one more live
alright i am so excited to have you back though and i loved our guest hosts our guest hosts were amazing we had so much fun but i do miss i did miss like having you in the co host seat team collect nft i'm waiting for you guys to get a go how do i get this message
where's jesse
jesse's team collect
there's jesse in our chat
for sure for sure
yes and shout out huge shout out to rachel burr and todie
very much appreciate them
so they love
you guys yeah yeah
did you get a chance to listen to the base camp recap by the way
someone didn't add it to our rss spotify rss our
oh yeah i forgot about that
so i couldn't download it for the plane
like i listened to them today oh you could've down oh you probably maybe you don't have premium you can download it on youtube
no i don't know
maybe like the premium or whatever yeah because i do that just make it collectible already they don't care how they just want a collectible or maybe a little combo but yeah the base camp recap was a lot of fun definitely you gotta give that a watch and i will get that out there i just kinda when we do those gms in the pms sometimes i forget to like put them in all the places i just kinda go okay that happened and move on with my life i really need to do that so
well i got through sieges engagement i got through moon poppy's near death experience and
the funniest part is that like rachel and i were on the mountain like right before that like we got down just in time before all that chaos happened like we probably were crossing them like they were on the way up when we were on the way back so that's wild that was so wild because i would have missed my plane which which wouldn't have been a bad thing because then i would have been there for cj cj's engagement so anyway but yeah it was a lot of fun and i will get that out on all our places so everyone can enjoy wherever they get our podcast okay so we got stuff to talk about so let's dive in we've got some news and we've got some things to chat about this from horse facts we were psa seeing elevated swap errors related to gas estimation on base especially for wallets with low balances investigating so it was really weird because i was getting some weird errors that kept telling me to try lowering the amount the amount to and i was like okay i went down as low as like i
don't
know 50ยข or something and i'm like this isn't working i'm like something's broken and then it was found the cause released a fix to mobile and web wallet if you're still seeing swap errors quit and reopen the mobile app or hard refresh web and just make sure you have the most up to date version as well but it was very weird i did love this too if you're in line stay in line if you're swapping keep swapping
i do love that
fox has the best
fox has
the best cast game
he really does he really does it runs in the freaking family is all i will say uncle horace uncle horace has shared with his nephew well okay moving on this from dan from dwr farcaster team priorities design doing a light re light brand refresh this week and next and that they had hired i don't know if you saw that did you see that they had hired a team okay wasn't sure if that was before or after you left mhmm wallet focused on per asset p and l tracking thank god and better price reliability so i
would love that because there's so many times when i go in and i'm like i
don't know what i bought this token at and if i have to go through my my activity feed i'm never gonna find it i just wanna click on the token and be like oh okay i bought it at whatever you know hold or sell kind of thing so that would be super helpful onboarding experimenting with algorithmic free onboarding don't know what that means looking forward to
learning what it means
what does
it mean what does algorithmic fee free onboarding mean
i guess you could say smart free onboarding so basically they will on the fly make a decision whether to offer someone free onboarding or whether they should pay and it'll be based on a number of different input factors so if they like if you know if it's like if if they think it's you're likely going to be a valuable
contributor yeah
yeah so an example of something where you wouldn't get for your onboarding is if you're using like an android simulator oh to sign up like you're not actually on a phone but you're like a developer kinda spinning up
okay
a looking at the app on a on a simulator that's one example okay yeah
interesting interesting i was curious because and i'm curious to see what the factors are too so i'll be looking you know forward to learning more about that because i think that and
maybe yeah and and again they could go into others but that is right alright and i think they're trying to increase up to they wanna start giving out up to i think like 500 free invites a day or something
okay
just how do you get more people on
it's just how do you get the get the most bang for the buck get the best content for that free invite
i joined the dev call yesterday if you can't tell
okay oh well that's good i didn't realize i oh i meant to go see if dylan had done a recap and i forgot so good you can give us a recap let me just finish this rewards new referrals system shipping this week well let me ask you do you know anything about that did they talk about that at all
no that is not not in detail
okay so i assume that's like yeah boost they used to give something like that which you couldn't have done that at the beginning of my semester when i onboarded 30 in one day that would have been good
you retroactively can i
get retro please i would like retro for that thank you very much because i literally linda
you're listening for
everyone in my class
linda if you're listening put a good word in for professor please yeah
there we go new user experience ai generated news summaries of what's happening in crypto interesting any do you know anything more about that
sure do and we'll be very excited about this so
is there a trending feed
it is i it is somewhat of a replacement to the trending feed
it's a
little in in that they wanna create a page using ai that one will give you kind of like the top stories or like the top three metas that's happening on farcaster but i think it's not just farcaster they may be pulling in from just kind of crypto in general as well i did ask vee if this was kind of like oh is this building off of the previous trending feed like is this next generation trending it's gonna get prime real estate so not just kind of like trending was like a channel
yeah
this will be like a primary
but this is a i mean trending was a channel and a tab it had some tab too it was both
no okay but in the military channel this will end up being like this will have prime real estate and it's kind of a way of yes because i do think that
the trending the ai trending thing they created is pretty good it doesn't capture everything is the problem so if you don't use like specific words it doesn't capture it whereas like trending will just show you the casts that are trending
yeah yeah
but it'll be interesting to see
and yeah in every chance we can get we can like sneak in a passive aggressive comment to v that we missed the trending i do
i haven't found a good enough replacement yet
oh yeah
like i've been using what did i miss it's great it's really good oop dog and it's really great but it's not the same and same thing with neymar i've been using neymar and asking for the top the neymar ai and asking for the top cat the cast with the most engagement to try and get to see but it's still it's still not the same it's just not
you know what you need you need a daily news show to catch you up
i know that'd be great can i get
one of those yeah if someone build that if someone could
do that that'd be great
i did tell and i did tell vee that this whatever it does sound like this will be helpful for us as we yeah
oh definitely
care like
definitely this sounds great so all in favor of this this sounds amazing can't wait do we have any time frame on some of these things like when is that happening
we don't have time frames it's okay you know
when it's
done when it's done these are the priorities that's what they're working
on so the notes could be today could be next week okay mini app bug fixes and protocol app based storage app based storage is interesting so okay cool
anything else that came out of the dev call that you wanted to mention
i went to a dev call like years ago and i haven't been to one in in a really long time so i don't know if this was light or heavy it felt light to me like it was a pretty quick varun going through the agenda kinda giving updates few people asked questions added comments but it it was pretty quick
pretty short okay yeah i think maybe there's not too much going on i mean these are pretty straightforward there's not a whole lot happening i think it's been i think everyone's been fairly slow for a little bit and i think we're starting to see the uptick just starting to happen so alrighty well that's good so there is our updates from that moving on this from linda very excited to do a live stream showcasing farcaster mini apps with chaskin and ethereum foundation next week so that is going to be monday at 6pm utc whatever time that is i think that's two one or 2pm eastern but i'm not positive i don't remember if we're at four or five hours right now and also she asked for a boost on of this over on x/ twitter so if you are over on there give this a little boost for linda also i think they have their mini app show today and i can't re i forgot to pull that i can't remember who's on but i think i think that they're doing that as well but i could be wrong but i'm pretty sure they're this from phil welcome tamara winter tamara is the commissioning editor for stripe press i'd like to think of stripe press as distribution channel for the most interesting ideas in the world she has kindly agreed to do an ama reply with your questions so this was yesterday and it was really pretty interesting go take a peek of this i did post about their website design which if you have never seen the stripe press website go check it out i just find it very pleasing is the best way i could put it and all the sites that they build for the individual books i just find it to be very well done and just in general like even their book does like everything they just have a very good design style but she did say that they're redoing they're redoing it and i'm like oh no and so i did say please don't use i said please avoid whoever worked on cracker barrel and she said and jaguar yes i agree yes don't don't rebrand that way but yeah so it was really interesting ama go take a peek i did love this one if you were trapped on a desert island for one year and could only bring three books which would you bring probably notes from the underground the rise of theodore roosevelt which i thought was interesting and white teeth but i'd probably have a completely different list on another day so i don't know i just thought it was a very fun ama i love the books amas i think they're different and fun and tap into like a different part of farcaster but i also really love the founder amas and i wish they bring them back as well i know they started too but then they kind of aren't on a regular basis so would love to see more of those
all
right moving on this from brad q have you noticed the at derek trend is now spreading and
i i have
why yes why yes it is so we have top nine snoops from moon poppy which was like okay and then siege had top nine video games after 1999 that is very specific very specific thing and this came from derek's top nine emojis i think was the first one he did and what was
i don't think so
what has he done before this or this is the most this is recent one yes
i mean i think he's been doing these for a while i'm gonna do a quick search
and this one kind of popped up where then all of a sudden there just were a lot of
copy past maybe that was the one that started to copy pasta
yes it did and then this was really funny because tldr put top nine unicode characters and it was just the one through nine and i highly disagreed because noggles are knuckles are also a unicorn so i wanted to debate that i beg to differ and then also this was funny bracket of beatles and he has an asterisk they're all terrible it's like how do you hate the beatles but also he had paul and john in the same bracket and i just could not live with that whatsoever i can't live in a world where ringo wins anything that involves the beatles like no no no not ever honestly there's a bracket of drummers he is last like
ouch no
just no he's horrible they literally had to replace him and bring in a studio drummer on let it be i'm just saying so anyway i just thought that was funny and i've seen some other takes on this version as well and it's just been a fun a fun little meta so enjoy
and also he said ringo was on name alone and i'm like okay still still i can't accept it this from you but over on twitter because i did not find this mentioned on farcaster so i assume that's why we're on twitter only super excited to be part of the devconnect creator crew i'll be in buenos aires for the ethereum world's fair in november to meet with and interview people who are working to create a freer and fairer internet and this was from devconnect we're launching the devconnect creator crew a creator first collective of storytellers and amplifiers working together to capture the energy of the ethereum world's fair so this is fun love this love to see this and very excited to see and watch you capture all the things in november very exciting
there's a whole group of creators and different kind of storytellers so it's like visual storytellers and bloggers and bloggers and interviewers and short form and long form and they're yeah they just pulled us into a little group chat yesterday
so we
can coordinate
love love it i'm pulling up my other oh did i lose one i lost my base one where'd that go okay pulling up my other links i've been using the google tabs and it has been working really well for the problems we were having so thank you net nose for getting me through that okay net
net nose must be
very happy you know he was very getting very frustrated with me not frustrated with me i shouldn't say that like that but just very like it was just funny because we couldn't i couldn't quite get get it to work the way he he wanted it to all right couple things from base or base related this is from talent protocol it takes three simple steps to start earning walletconnect builder rewards base name builder score greater than 40 integrate walletconnect in your app get started now so very cool walletconnect has been out there doing some more rewards they're also doing for mini apps as has arbitrum so look for those opportunities if you're building with any of these tools very interesting i had my students using walletconnect the other day because rainbow wasn't one of the wallets that was an option i was like oh now we get to learn how to use walletconnect and then this from chompix i posted this through the base app so is base app another way to access the farcaster app i'm so confused and then tagged gm farcaster
gm farcast fur
fast fur well i saw it anyway and this was his his first post from the bass app hello bass world so we've explained this a few times but i you know put it in here and i realized that there's probably quite a few people who don't know the differences so i had laid this out in another cast because of other similar conversations that was from ignis serious question what's the difference between posting in base app or farcaster so just to sum up two different front end clients that are accessing the same protocol with differences so one if you post on the baseapp your post can be coined on zuora and collected as a coin if you cast on farcaster or baseapp you opt in and you opt in on farcaster your cast can be collected as an nft if you cast on farcaster you qualify for farcaster rewards if you post on base app you qualify for base rewards four videos are highlighted differently this is kind of a big one there's a very obvious video feed on the base app there is a video feed on farcaster it's just a little more hidden it's a little tiny icon in the top right if you're on mobile or if you click on a video in either app and then just keep scrolling up you'll see more videos it kind of brings you into a video feed five different algos very different algos i always see different things anytime i go back and forth like so different algos i suggest having both because it does give you a different view as to different parts of the ecosystem and the one that i left off and i can't believe i left it off of all people channels flipped up channels completely oh because i even i posted this and i said what did i forget and everyone's like channels and i was like oh duh like that i literal that's why i post more on farcaster right now because i do post a lot in channels and you can't do that on base so you will see the tag and you'll see what channel it's in but you just don't it doesn't work the same so any other things that you can think of that i may have left off i think that was everything that's the differences between the two
no
i think it's really well
and i think it's a you're right like i i take for granted that that people may not realize what the difference is or or that there is it is so cool that yes you can cast from the base app and you can see your cast in forecaster and vice versa
yeah
so i think that's really cool i yeah yeah i think you captured it
and also yeah and and i yeah there's a lot of people don't realize it i also answered a similar question for austin who used to work with doodles and he's now doing his own project austin hurwitz over on twitter had asked that question a similar question and i was like laying out hey this this is what it is and also was asking like why what's the benefit like is it worth our time are we going to reach enough people and i said well right now it's fairly small but here's who's on the waiting list and you know it's going to be a go to and if you're doing anything on base you absolutely should be thinking in terms of a mini app and a presence and all that if you're not building on base i still think you should but it's probably less priority i think it's high priority if you're building on base if it's if you're not building on base i think it's still a great place to especially capture early adopters so still great to do it depends on your other priorities so but also if you are building something and you have questions you know reach out we're available for for strategic advising by the way i watched south park last night that was so funny the strategic advisor joke i don't if you haven't watched it this week that part was funny
i'm saving it because i watch it with my son now it's our favorite show to watch together south park has been so good
so funny
they are yeah the labooboo stuff
so funny chatgybt stuff so i mean there's like the political stuff is funny too even if that's not your thing there's so much other they're making fun of many things prediction markets were best
to you want i was alright yeah well i saw on twitter yeah the the screenshot so i can't wait to watch it
it it was funny but strategic adviser yes we're happy to be your strategic adviser that's gonna be my new thing
are you using base or forecaster more often are you going back and forth i'm i'm curious
i'm going back and forth but i still am using forecaster more and that is for two two reasons why that's happening for me personally one is channels because i like if i'm posting anything about gm forecaster i want it all in the channel it's just easier just for even myself to go back and reference so that's a main reason second is honestly rewards once you get sucked into the game it's hard to it's hard to pivot out
so that's that's a and you know what's really funny is we were having that discussion at basecamp and i mentioned this to dan i'm like we're at basecamp and there's so many people going yeah but if i post on facebook right i'm gonna mess with
their own rewards base has their own rewards too but i think it goes down to creating habits and digital habits like when you're used to opening up right like the forecaster app even like the smallest little changes in the ui if you're going from base to forecaster make it so you're less likely to change i mean switching like like
yeah
so that's the whole network effect
yeah exactly yeah and this is a good and i see what you're and they have they do have a different spam you know whatever i'm looking for like the spam indicator that farcaster is using to hide some of those folks that are super super spammy is not necessarily being used by base so they might be slower to pull some of those out and that's why you see different numbers also on all the protocol all the clients you're gonna see different numbers of followers depending on how they limit yeah spam
and your follower number will only go down only down
only down it's the the the least amount of followers i have is on farcaster itself
right
like i have a little bit more on the base app i have way more on the ones that don't do any filtering whatsoever for spam filtering that was the word i was looking for yeah so i'm using
yeah i find myself only using farcaster look because i was away so i was i don't know if you guys have heard but i was off the grid in western mongolia
for three weeks not around for three weeks i missed that
and so we did have starlink with us and we had a generator that would power on at night so we could charge our devices so i i had but in my limited time i had to be very choosy so i was really only using the firecaster app i didn't open the base app while i was gone however i want to use it like i because i because i also wanna open zappr and i wanna open uno and i wanna try everything so now that i'm back my intention is to kind
of go with the app i haven't done enough with zappr both yeah
i haven't either it's but even the zappr's in beta like it's still in test i think it's still test net so yeah
and so too
so but i but but but i do intend to to use them all except by the way speaking of you know i don't care about the leaderboard because yeah i'm not i refuse to allow yeah i refuse to allow someone else to you know direct determine your work mhmm
yeah
but oh my god i'm so high up on the leaderboard this week that i i might i might be a convert
it's so funny because like you came back with a i haven't checked this morning but yesterday you were at eleven let me let me just do a quick update on that right now because you came back like holy
shit guys
holy shit you're at ten
it was the highest i've ever been
as soon as you can see another tier in sight or you hit that tier it's very hard to walk away you get like like then you're like okay just because
the game
because i guess it is a game
and this
is i was talking with burr about this too because she when the week started she was at number one it's you normally can't stay there like it's very
very
hard but she's like okay but i can make a run this week like i'm gonna make a run for it and you know and it was because of that like early okay i'm already way up here i know i'm gonna cross down but if i let me see how i can push this yeah and start to make it that game and there's enough of an incentive that it's worth doing so it's you know it's not your worth blah blah blah but also it's kind of fun it's kind of fun to put it's also some of it's just like can i push myself how can can i do this within the way i like to cast not just for you know engagement farming and all that kind of stuff so it's yeah it's a little bit of a challenge so everybody's coming for the dog is what we're all saying i don't know if bert's bert's not awake it's too early for him sometimes bert's hanging out in the chat but not today i do need to yeah i definitely this is saffron clank or rhyme
was that a joke someone posted that i saw that and oh was this about the oh this was the the letter the open letter
the letter
to clanker from zapper and i was like but but they don't rhyme but okay
they don't they don't yeah he was just memeing that was so funny
i mean zapper clanker gm farcaster
yeah they're up to definitely this is interesting i actually prefer using farcaster more because the base app kinda looks complicated and has lots of issues i i think it's just there's a there are a lot of pieces to it there's some complexity to it you're also going from two different approaches here you're taking a wallet and adding a social feed and vice versa farcaster you started with the social feed and added a wallet and honestly i think the adding the social feed to a wallet is harder i think the i think it's easier to add the wallet so
and listen and forecaster only has 37 users so yeah exactly they're free to build like they can mess up in public it's really hard for coinbase to mess up in public because you're gonna have millions millions of users in so
and that's why it's still in beta it's still in beta if you find any report any feedback for for real
and they are excellent at receiving feedback they appreciate it they know they're not perfect they're listening learning so just give the yeah be
absolutely
send feedback
yeah absolutely alright few things from some of our builder friends this from okay banger next tuesday september 30 eight a m eleven a m eastern eight a m pacific three p m utc okay so four hours i was right it was four not five kristin and cameron returns with a whiplash so okay banger is coming back they've been off for a little bit so excited to see them our friends kristen and cameron back this from cardno planning your trip to devconnect and have questions you want answered by experts actually this would be great for you adrienne join worthhalter and sasol on the ethstaker youtube channel at 5pm eastern october 10 for a friendly review of what you absolutely need to know before coming to buenos aires for devconnect if you didn't know patricio wirthalter co founder of poap is from argentina and from buenos aires i think in particular i don't know about sasl but maybe sasl is as well sasl is also very big within ethereum in the whole ecosystem so this will be a really good session if you're going to dev connect highly recommend that you give this a watch and jump in with your questions for them this from sahil and this is related to cura's updates they've made a few updates they're doing some new things here this is from sahil excited to onboard jababoo to build and grow a home base for politics on cura we're going to support him in curating the best politics related conversations feed onboard new user net new users and enable crypto native incentives and mini apps for the politics channel and i think part of what cura is trying to do where we were just talking about channels a little bit is to allow people to onboard directly to a channel to more easily find their people so creating ways to to do that so check that out as well and the politics channel generally speaking i find it with a few exceptions to be a good place to have those discussions where they tend to be respectful and interesting so there you go in gm forecaster news whatever could this mean todi and garrett and jc and question mark adrienne what could this possibly be
okay if you don't know where have you been okay i todi garrett and jc are the winners of cast out season beta one and two
correct
and i feel like you're teasing the next season
i am i am exactly that would be the correct guess so yeah so we have castout which is our game that highlights different things that are happening on farcaster different builders different mini apps and in a survivor inspired competition with tribes that compete in these different challenges to earn some prizes so we are very excited to bring that back next week we'll have some more details exactly when it's happening some of our sponsors that are or at least one sponsor that's coming on which i'll mention that in just one second and then we'll also have sign up start in terms of bringing your tribe together we may expand a little bit we're going to see how the demand is but we'll have somewhere between eight and sixteen tribes that will play the game and excited it's always fun so very excited it's going to be a lot of fun and also adrienne we don't have time for this we'll do this offline but we need a mini app i have thoughts okay let's do it i have thoughts so we need a mini app so we have one so i did mention that we do have one sponsor who's already on board and that sponsor is also coming on as a spotlight sponsor so you may have picked up on this from my background but you may not have so here's the full background oh drum roll drum roll i forgot the drum roll and we got maybe the gong too clanker is coming on board as of monday as a spotlight partner so on mondays every monday we will have a special segment that'll be about halfway through our show about like thirty minutes in that will be a clanker spotlight for the next month we're going to experiment with this and we'll have about like a five minute like where we kind of focus on what's new with clanker like the protocol itself what's new in terms of new projects that are coming out that it look interesting that have some you know have a clanker token attached with them what are people doing that are interesting and then we'll also be highlighting some of those projects and doing some interviews with folks that are building and incorporating clanker into what they build so we're looking for folks who are doing interesting things with clanker
yeah so i'm very excited and they'll also be our title sponsor for the next season of cast out so yay yay and i'm still finalizing a name i'm back and forth on things i gotta talk to you about that i have ideas but i'm
i'm not let's end the show let's end the show and go to private talk
yeah we have to talk about that because i'm not sure what to where to go with this i have a couple ideas and then i'm back and forth on it so anyway so we'll have all that announced next week and then we'll start going into that it will cast out will be at the october it'll be the october november eight days of fun and look for that and there will
ombuds asks a good question
yes so october november
you know usually the first couple days are the busiest is what i'll say
it's funny because what you said the first time you ran it is you don't need to take off time
for work of course you don't
you said you don't you said it's not that time consuming
it's not that time consuming you can do this in your spare time
still have to ask for tokens it depends if you wanna win oh yeah
that is good because something something next week is all i'm gonna say to that
was it clanker
clanker early clanker very early like the first week it came out it was our it was the first token i did i think it was the first token i did on clanker so it has a very different mechanic than the current clanker do with that what you will i'm not going to say any more right now next week next week more to talk about all right adrienne we've got one last topic to get into so
here we go sky castle launched yesterday
congratulations it's basil and garrett have launched sky castle i'm gonna read through a little bit of this there's a lot of detail in here there's a great paragraph post i did dive into it was it helped to clarify a few things so today we introduce sky castle and our network token dollar sign sky sky castle is the tokenized incubator for the base and farcaster ecosystems we help early builders become credible founders and unify our network under one token it goes on we're here because the token landscape is fractured thousands of micro tokens launch each day most underperform eth and nearly all fragment liquidity in communities too often builders ship alone with broken token models and poor distribution while users burn time and capital rotating across narratives and chain the result speculation without alignment a liquidity carousel and a dead end sky castle unifies this chaos into a single compounding network we do this by incubating apps and taking a fixed 5% of supply to our treasury we then defend that treasury with automated buybacks should our market price fall below our net asset value okay gets into detail about all of that it gets into the network it talks about a network our network is anchored by 30 partners bringing expertise across tokens product engineering marketing distribution community and capital beyond that we expand to a council of 64 invited by partners and aligned via shared incentives to broaden reach perspective and support including our two founders and four senior advisors the network extends 100 deep all working for and committed to the success of the project a little bit more detail here on the token itself 30% of supply was allocated pre market to 30 partners there is a lockup with that invested over eighteen months and then a few other pieces of the puzzle here okay
couple things
this from jeff goldberg cabal member there is no cabal me i can see you with shoes poking out which i thought was very funny and then this was there is no cabal just a bunch of insiders casting images of skye castles who clearly knew skye was about to launch okay you know cabal this cabal that but there were part this was in planning for a while there were partners who were part of the launch so you know yes there was some known known things that were happening and some of them did i think some of them did buy themselves because most of it was locked up the ones that the percentage that they're being allocated and i think that was also to support the project so do with that what you will but this has been one of the criticisms that has been out there regarding this launch and here's the other one this is from our friend i think sky castle is a great concept it helps focus liquidity kaballing it becomes somewhat more public and transparent and there are clearly some very strong and solid names backing this project for all these reasons i bought some sky both on my fc and non doxxed wallets that said i'd be remiss in not mentioning my disappointment in the lack of diversity in the partner network forgive me if i'm mistaking here but as far as i can tell debbie is either among or the only woman on this partner list if the expertise offered by this group is strategy pmf product build comms gtm brand ux and tokenomics then i can assure you there are plenty of bright experienced women on base and farcaster who fit the mold i could tag some of them here but the list would honestly be too long i also had that same thought i also want to be really clear i personally know a lot of people associated with sky sky castle to be terrific bright and inclusive individuals so this isn't run of the mill fud aimed to tear them down i just think the optics here matter and i'm not sure if it was intentional or an oversight but either way i'm disappointed that a project with so much promise and visibility missed the opportunity to set a stronger example on diversity and representation especially given how central inclusivity is to building long lasting communities okay and there was a response from its basil to this post we hear you three of four said no i know it's still not great but deaf wasn't supposed to be one good news is our council has 64 seats that aren't filled yet appreciate the support jc okay
i'm also gonna mention this from birr like jc i also bought sky and believe in the concept honestly i never even checked the men women ratio because i consider our caster pretty inclusive it's definitely disappointing to see only one woman among 30 advisors as dad burr would say when i was younger i'm not mad i'm just disappointed
and then we have this from derek and i think this is a good take on both of these issues so i want to read this my takes on the categories of sky critiques i've seen well asterisk i'm just one guy i don't speak for everyone in sky nor should i these are my opinions and are not likely to be shared by my fellow partners
what is derek's role
derek is one of the partners in this just one of the 30 one of the 30 okay lack of diversity i don't believe in quotas and i believe that diversity is more than external appearance gender or otherwise but this is a real short sighted failing i'm guilty and i'm sorry i will speak for myself and say that i'll strive to do better here okay cabal accusations cabal in modern parlance is just a mid curve word for what's referred to as mafias paypal yc etcetera nsb in silicon valley short of a solo founder doing a fair one
which is just a which is and mafia is just a mid curve way of saying personal network
yeah pretty much yeah just a network of people yeah yeah short of solo founder doing a fair market launch like native this will be a perennial barb that said a true cabal would not be as visible as this group is you know who's in it you know how it works the docs are available on day one it's a token on the open market yes it took premeditated coordination and planning that didn't involve posting every decision to the feed see daos rainbow m and a department etcetera but that's how the real world works i love the rainbow m and a department the nav model very fair sets of questions here my assessment in joining sky was primarily around this my answer the nav model especially when tokenized aligns our incentives with founders and token holders from day zero it puts the onus on us to a pick great projects with plenty of room to grow and move the needle for our entire space and b help add value to those projects through effort and elbow grease okay
okay i think you know you covered the cabal stuff very well and i'll just we'll just leave it there like you can be upset if you didn't get the earliest of early
i will say that this was one of the first big tokens i think that had the new sniper tech built in like that had just gone live wednesday there's been i'm sure a bunch more there have been a bunch more and there's a funny i forgot to pull that one a funny cast from ramsey about a token that he launched and it had it was the day of the sniper tech had just gone live and the person who sniped and got hit with the tax asked them to reimburse him which i just thought was hilarious hilarious but anyway so there was that you know that was wait
i actually didn't even follow the new sniper tact so there was a new sniper tact you're in early but if you try to snipe early in the first fifteen seconds utilized
yes because the first fifteen seconds of the launch has always been the bots who are buying a ton of supply and then they jump as soon as there's any volume so that and it's very it's all automated it's not they're buying like everyone or they're buying them from certain like sometimes they build in like the neymar score or something like that sure to just pull the ones that they think are gonna pop so that is now getting taxed so there's that part of it with any of these launches so you know that was helpful but also i think because of the visibility of who was sharing the token who's involved as partners of course there was going to be like a big hype and a big buy and so there was some concerns around that but i don't think the cabal stuff is that big of a deal okay so now on the thing that everybody has been pinging me about where are the partners yeah not a good look not a good look is is the best way i could say it like i feel icky about this i really like i like the folks who are involved here i like you know a lot of these people i have worked with or i know well i'm friendly with who are on this partner list so no shade to them whatsoever
and you know debbie's amazing but like we can probably find more than one i appreciate that basil was like we did ask but three of the four and i was like oh you asked a whole four
but okay i appreciate the effort
so here's why some women in the space might be just a little put off by this and i'll actually i'll speak for myself i'm not gonna speak for all women because that would be dumb this like threw me off a little bit i didn't i didn't see this until i'd already bought the token i didn't digest this until later and then i kind of just i kind of just let it sit because i was like i think i need to process this a little bit because i don't want to overreact because knowing especially knowing these particular crew of guys i don't think this was intentional i think it was very much a we didn't even realize i really do and
i'm pretty sure it's always it's never intentional it's never intentional no one ever no one ever
well that's not true that's not true there's a whole host of folks that are literally trying to take away our nineteenth amendment rights so sometimes okay but that is in
this that is the minority that is the minority when you're when you're launching something like you're building a team exactly i mean it it's it's never it lack of it's never intentional
it's not intentional but sometimes that's the problem right so this and this is kinda i think this was the best way i could describe my feelings was this jif she's not dead she's just having an existential crisis so there's a point in the barbie movie where she just falls to the ground because she just is like she's just like i'm just so over like having to you know fight for for my rights kind of thing that it's just like it's exhausting so when you put it into the context of all the other things this is like one more thing it's like one more time where it feels like underrepresentation but also i appreciate that like you're building a project you're building with the people that you wanna build with that is 100% you're right you're pulling people that you feel are bringing the right expertise to the table it may when you're pulling from your own networks a lot of times those networks might be the gender that you are would i have liked to have seen somebody like a maggie love being you know reached out to to pull into something like this absolutely because even if she was not available she's the founder of shefi even if she wasn't available she could definitely have pointed you in the right direction of quite a few people if you weren't if you didn't know where to go with this and you it may have led to some filling in some holes that maybe you have within the group that you have so just you know another reason for diversity there
but it's like i am in a different place than i was even four years ago on this topic and it's the exhaustion of it all where i've kind of given in a little bit to like this is just the way it's gonna be in tech and crypto for a while until there's just more women period like as users as everything as builders as everything because it's just less visibility you end up networking with them less and that way it just becomes this like self fulfilling thing that just compounds because if your network is mostly men then you're going to be pulling more men into projects and more you know more men are going to get that opportunity and and that's like it just continues because i've been fighting this for a while and i'm like i'm tired i'm tired so i'm not gonna fight i'm gonna build my own thing but also just know like when i see something like this it it's giving me an ick and that's now a you problem because if it's doing that for me it's doing that for a lot of women unless there are gonna be less women inclined to okay you have this council you're expanding to but there's gonna be less women inclined to want to participate when they feel it's more slighted
that's actually what we should talk about which is like why why right like why does it matter right so yeah one so much talk about who's on the partner list and
and the feelings associated with it but go back to like what are you what are you even building so what is
yeah
sky castle what's the what's it called
sky castle yeah
sky castle alright you're building a farcaster incubator
yeah
so my critique about the announcement was there was so much talk about token stuff like it wasn't even clear to me exactly what you're building there wasn't as much focus on who you're serving what your vision like that that you
mean there wasn't enough focus on what the token would do
there was but it didn't it was like our token's gonna be different than all the others
not in the way not in the way you'd like to see
i did channel my inner i was reading the announcement i channeled my inner random random arrow and i was like i don't understand it by the way i did not get a heads up i'm not in any cabals i didn't know this was coming i barely saw you know like and when you're doing a launch it's normal that there's two ways to launch right
yeah
you can kind of go out on a launch day when you're planning getting people to help you spread the message you need to then have your group chats and your cabal to help get that message out or you can you know do more of a slow build in public i didn't even see basel or garrett no put their names on this
that's true it's not a
the announcement it didn't even say who the founders are so this was a little bit of a it it was it was a little bit of a mystery to me so
i it could've used more clarity it could use more explanation
it felt like the launch announcement was talking to people who already knew about the launch announcement it was like too insider coded so as a someone who was reading it from the outsider i don't know who's behind it tell me who's behind it it helps you garner more trust because i like basil and garrett and i've seen you like i you know instead it so tell me who's behind it tell me what focus more on what you're going to be building and who you're serving and when you talk about the token it it too much you know it it felt more insider
yeah
like here's how we're gonna benefit the holders not the people we're serving
here's what we're trying to do here's here's yeah how we're trying to build up and be an incubator for things on procaster which by the way i love the idea crossroads was another approach to this like that didn't get really get off the ground but was a concept so this is something that's been kind of percolating for a while
and makes
a lot of sense
so launching within a social network is trickier than launching outside because guess what we're a network we have friends that is one of the reasons why people take it personally when they're not if you're not included in something like it's different than it's like oh some you know i don't know
someone by the way i'm sure there's a lot of guys who feel left left out too like as much as we're talking about the
women i'm sure it's
a ton of dudes who are just like why
didn't you ask me right it's just
like we're all friends so we're gonna feel oh okay
but the reason is it's like okay so farcaster we love farcaster and we believe in farcaster and we believe there should be more companies built on top of farcaster we built gm farcaster on top of farcaster like so and we believe in growing the pie so the more founders the more developers the more companies built in this ecosystem the more everyone benefits whether you hold sky or not like you know i'm
right good yeah absolutely
i mean i can make a joke about the farcaster token but i know we have new people in the audience so i don't wanna spread fuck don't don't do it okay we're all these okay anyway that's not the point my point is hold on
let me let me just get this ready really quick quick pause
okay
and it's fast believe okay anyway continue on
no reward okay but here's where representation matters right is if it it's who you're going to attract are you going to attract and their you know human psychology one zero one women founders feel more comfortable often not not a 100% right with with women mentors when they it's like this whole idea is like you can't be what you can't see you wanna be like this is why it's important to show many different types of paths and we've gotten this feedback just about our show there's people who like to watch news about farcaster from women
yeah
absolutely they're women and they don't see themselves in others our audience
because most of the other content is 20 bros it just just what's right it's like it's crypto yeah like crypto
crypto content tends to be very you know gen z dude coded and it's like so when you bring something different then those folks who don't feel like they connect with that have an opportunity to like dive in so yeah
so yeah so that is all
your cabal membership is not your worth
by the way there's cabals happening right now there's other people launching things my other critique on the launch announcement and
i guess i'll read you some second yeah the gm broadcaster cabal and that's why i said you are all the gm fc cabal seriously if you're in our chat on a regular basis you guys get a lot more insight and like alpha than most others like even if they listen later on or aren't listening at all you definitely do because we we are always sharing stuff that's very early very early so like yeah i agree anyway continue
and you can get in with our hypersum membership
i know there you go
shill shill shill okay
still chill
but it is i just say there's a million things that are oh that i wanna go back to critiquing the announcement yeah
alright go back to the
announcement critique and i'm allowed to do this because garrett nor garrett norbasel texted me dm'd me to include me
the announcement right was the launch of a token and a concept and they're going to be built it by the way i truly from the bottom of my heart i do want you to succeed i love you guys
same i
do want you to see it i want a forecaster incubator to succeed so what you know hit me up if i can help you i i that would be great you should succeed my my critique on the launch announcement was more on a stylistic perspective which is how you're communicating so again it sounded like you're talking to insiders not outsiders like but two there was a lot of talk about this is what we do but you haven't done anything yet so it it wasn't a aspirational this is our plan and this is what we hope to do and this is how but it was like we incubate but who have you incubated yet so that was my my other like we haven't done anything
done anything yet
so you captured attention sadly you captured attention sometimes you know for the wrong thing this is but also streisand effect guess who's guess who's spent the last half an hour talking about skycap
exactly we wouldn't have we would not have spent this much time on it so there you go yeah
so congratulations
on your launch congratulations congratulations on your launch and also yeah kind of where you know my first i have to tell you like i had to fight my first reactions my first reaction was to cast a list of all the amazing women that are on farcaster i started typing it and then i'm like first of all too many i'm gonna forget people and also chill out as i'm talking to myself and then my second one was to launch pink castle or like princess castle or something like that and i was like okay just don't it's not necessary it really isn't it's because it's not that big of a deal but i was so i was like i don't have time i'm like i don't have time for this like i don't have time to like try and do something you know but also i'm gonna just point again to shefi great organization check them out really supportive of women especially supportive of women who want to learn about defi and crypto and providing a space that makes it comfortable to do that so
okay that's all can i share just the last thing that i said to you before we went live
yeah
okay
i've spent the last three weeks in western mongolia off grid i would say touching grass but there's very little grass because it was pretty desert like although the goats were able to find like the tiniest little pieces anyway i digress
my nervous system is in a completely different place than it was three weeks ago
so in other words she thinks i
should go
to mongolia
there is a sense of calm because with perspective
yeah
i i can't my like i i can't get worked up it's fine yeah like so
i honestly have had the the most calm reaction than i normally would so i'm pretty proud of that it's literally yes a spite incubator honestly and
yes scott the curb your enthusiasm reference and wouldn't farcaster be so fun with a larry david
oh my god please we'd love that we would love that but i really was like this close and i'm like you don't have time to do this well don't do it like stop you don't have to do this but you know good feelings
i think a lot of this angst and stress is displaced yeah like yes i don't like
i 100% agree with that yes
i don't like when my literal like women's rights are being attacked
yeah
and therefore i'm gonna take it out of my friends because you slighted me
yeah 100% like and that's
that it's not valid and that's your it's that's
why i posted this it was just really like i'm just i'm exhausted i need i just need i just needed to stop i don't wanna fight anymore but yeah so anyway
okay thanks for having that conversation
yeah welcome back adrienne welcome back adrienne one last thing go check this out from our friend thumb i'm not gonna play it but he finally got his inside base camp trailer that he was putting together it was taking him forever to do go check it out it's so good and he took it it he was getting you could see him getting frustrated live yeah there we are live on the timeline just being like getting frustrated with
the fact
of trying to create this and i really appreciate like you put a lot there's a lot of effort into this so go check it out
yes and can we just take a minute of thumb appreciation because he's ours as in not our like do you have farcaster hours like a farcaster native really talented video creator
yeah
and he exhibits like all the good qualities of what makes farcaster special in terms of like good values and human and we love what you're doing thumb keep it up my favorite part about this video is the from the people who brought you a new day one and a new day one correct me out that was really funny
that was so
and i think all the other people saying basecamp were ai generated newscasters and he threw us in yep and literally made my day so thank you
yeah it was it's just really good it's really good and this is the by the way this is the part so funny going from the careers of a new day one
a new day yeah
a new day one
wait can i just say sadly i'm gonna jump back and forth because azoto pascaline in the chat is saying the list of amazing women on farcaster is a good idea i think someone did that yeah professor did that the last time there
was a the last
time this happened the last time that happened like and it wasn't
that long
ago like two weeks ago there was another against women it was like oh there's no women on farcaster actually there's a handful of talented women on farcaster
like i can't that's why that's why i'm exhausted that's why that's why i'm like i can't i can't keep doing it
but it's a perm of that listen i'm gonna my perspective is i casted something i also casted something recently like there's a million setbacks for women happening these days
it's the broadcast rewards leaderboard exactly
yeah but we don't deserve it because we're just casting like lifestyle slop yes to crypto
pictures of dogs and yeah
pictures of dogs i you know it's so insulting when somebody says that bert is just casting pictures of dogs i'm like okay you clearly aren't paying attention but anyway go ahead
anyway all i'm saying is i believe that there is we are there is progress if you zoom out long enough and on a long enough time line there's a 100% progress and in between then trends will come and go and pendulums will shift and like and it's gonna feel it's it's turmoil and chaos and it can feel very dark when you're in it but what i always do is i look back to like what were the opportunities my grandmother had and what opportunities do i have today
exactly
and i as a woman i would never have asked to be born at a different time than i do today yeah and all i can do is like live my life and try to make the world you know better but it just how do i make the world freer fairer and more opportunities for my granddaughters and that's i'm living on that timeline and it's you know it's cope and guess what i go to bed at night cope happy so
welcome back adrienne
on that note thank you thank you thank you red wings
amazing and aquius yes yes absolutely and that's why i was like you know what i'm not putting this list out there because i'm gonna i forget too many and i'm just not gonna do it oh but there are tough
yeah so also nick what's your forecast user so i don't know what you know
what good point if you're in the chat and your name doesn't match your forecaster name please just give us a little quick little hey i'm so and so because i like to tag people and there's been quite a few that i just can't find so if you're not getting tagged on the thank you post that is why because i can't find you all right monday we will be back with a fresh intro fresh outro and a new sponsor very excited to welcome clanker as our latest partner and excited to work with them excited to work with them on cast out and some other things we're talking about so very excited for that that'll be monday and we will thirty minutes in have a planker spotlight where we'll highlight and that'll be happening every monday where we highlight what is happening in the clankerverse and that's it that's it that's all happy friday man

it was yeah so i muted and i was worried that it was gonna yeah i think
it was do it again but you're good okay that's so funny i seriously would not have they would not have made it i would not have brought them back they would have stayed in mongolia no question in mongolia
all there was shit in our tents because like half of the no the gherds don't have floors it's not a tent that has a floor so it's just on the grass and then some of them would have rugs on them and they were wonderful and then some were just like grass there's so it's all herdering animals so like there's literally goat and yak and sheep shit everywhere but guess what they're all like they're just grass eaters so very healthy shit
okay great but also no no no
fine but then you don't get
to come home with a glow you'll never access
