Transcript: Fork on the horizon and $chef in the spotlight: GM Farcaster ep358

oh wait you are live just had to let you know we are live

on on put it on yeah

so to catch everyone up who isn't in the chat and isn't paying attention we're a little late today because adrienne is having sound issues with her computer again so now she's on her phone it's been a whole thing we're having a bit of a day

no then you were gone yeah

oh okay

i bet i know what it is now check your i afterwards you're probably getting your input output's probably coming in through weird things it's probably trying to like give you sound through your camera or something no

the only thing i can think of

she was traveling but she's back

it last night

alright well we're gonna get actually started and we're gonna we're gonna give her a couple more minutes to fix her filters and maybe throw some makeup on just kidding

you look fabulous

and i can't believe the pig is still with us but anyway we'll be back after this forty one seconds see you on the other side

more than

gm farcaster it is thursday april 16 and you are here with nounish prof and adrienne for twenty nine minutes of farcaster news to start your day plus a chat with angela from the grampus team and we're already talking about chef which just launched so we'll be talking about that game and that token coming up in just a few minutes and i just realized i forgot to do the things i normally do when we go to the intro we're really off today oh but posts aren't loading right now anyway oh there we go we're just a little bit little bit off off kilter today but we do have some fun things to chat about so i'm excited there's a lot of fun activity happening on the timeline right now

you actually did an ama yesterday and you haven't done one of those in a bit so i would recommend everyone go give this a read because i found it very enjoyable there's lots of fun little questions in there

the gamut too it was all over the place so yeah

we had we had questions about parenting balancing work and work and home life oh mongolia we had some questions about mongolia and then this random thing so you know it was good though so go give it a go give it a look see moving on this was hilarious i don't know if you saw this but this was so funny kevin warsh is being vetted for the head of the fdic of the fed sorry not the fdic federal reserve and he has somebody posted this this is a weird disclosure warsh owns a stake in something called friends with benefits so apparently he's a member of the daf there you go i was like wait what no that's hilarious so you know that makes me a little bit more bullish on kevin warp so there you go and this from yerbearserker reporting on things that are happening in twitter to the twitterverse the road to x wallet continues x introduces cashtags in us and canada for stonks and crypto you click and it brings you to the asset not really in theory have you

an asset have to think that another click to buy sell isn't already imagined yeah so it says this is from nikita beer x has always been the best source of financial news for traders and investors billions of dollars are allocated every day based on what people read on the timeline today we're launching our new hashtag features in the us and canada on iphone bringing real time financial data to the feed but not really so it's very random in terms of what it shows you or it's not really random let me rephrase that if it's a solana token mhmm it's popping up if it's anything else it may not be or you're gonna get the wrong token it's still messy but it's an interesting first step unlike farcaster where you if you share a contract address it will bring you right to that token it will add it to your cast so there you go and then you can just click and swap right in the right in the little wallet that's included in your in your forecaster account so

but you can also do you know you can if you type the ticker in on forecaster too you can usually select from the tokens or it will default to one but you can select from the tokens that pop up but if you have the con i'm just meaning the contract address it will give you the exact one yeah without it getting confused as opposed to what's happening right now but interesting and nice improvement moving on to local news that's our national news now the local news this from rish shipped in the last two weeks snaps lego clanker ecosystem fund clanker deployments on bsc and solana home feed experiments with reply bumping in case you missed it and relevant for you current priorities social making snaps on client and ui polish onboarding and account recovery flows spam algo improvements for replies and home feed wallet price and swap improvements connecting warplet to other websites that's a big one developer signers on snapchain with granular permissions goal is to experiment to see what grows the network while retaining culture and signal or reach out with any questions so these all sound like really good improvements that are coming and we did see last week with the clanker ease or earlier this week with the clanker ecosystem fund it's weird okay there we go it's not showing my other links this is very strange k weird it's not

no it's not just you today i'm having something like really weird happen with my with my links here they're there but they're just not showing so that i can actually click them so that's an interesting interesting don't know why that's happening but anyway

moving on we're having we're having issues today but it's okay we'll figure it out this from basement five k yeah user it's probably user yeah skill issues going on here left and right this from basement five k the first relevant for you cash shown in my feed was pretty on point instant follow well done farcaster and neynar so starting to see some of the some of the thing some of the things working in the feed i've noticed that too i've definitely surfaced a few things that would have normally not been in my feed so that was nice to see

have have you seen that as well adrienne no

alright so far so good and this from uniswap we blinked and clankers hook hit 2,500,000,000 in volume clank clank so that was nice to see and cute little little design there too this from mvr you have any clanker airdrops to claim now you can check right from the feed so your purple rain claims are now a snap and you can check your claims to see if you have any it will tell you exactly what's waiting for you and you can decide whether to go clank i mean whether to go claim sorry not clank claim and i see angela has entered our green room hi angela we'll be with you in just a couple minutes go ahead adrienne what is what were you saying

there you go

and you need it to use to use form caster i need to still finalize some improvements that i made to that so you just reminded me alright moving on this from clanker this is new this is gonna be a new format come on show me that clanker team is gonna be doing sort of like what we had the clanker spotlights but a little bit different so this is a clanker o g spotlight and this is about tomo tomo has been checking eth every day since 2017 traded derivatives before crypto watched charts through a recycle and after years of staring at price he came to one conclusion the chart is always the last to know by the way i think the farcaster intern might be a gen z just saying just saying because there's not one capitalization in this in this post so i'm just saying what started as an on chain experiment became his full time job in a week he went solo founder shipped 21 updates in the first month rewrote the back end built spam filtering from scratch and hasn't taken a day off since not because it was easy because he believes social data front runs markets and someone had to build that tool properly checkr tracks what forecaster and x are paying attention to before it moves anywhere else real influence not noise sustained mind share versus short term hype attention scores token deep dives and an agent skill so your ai can ask what's spiking on base right now we integrated checkr's api into clanker world because it made the whole ecosystem smarter the social score and every token page is his work the lisbon based solo founder who stayed through the bad cycles and built attention layer anyway that's the kind of builder clanker was made for so very well written far farcaster slash clanker intern and nice to see this highlight of timu who's been who's been around for a while so very cool and we'll have more of those coming so look be on the lookout and then this news was announced on monday but just to follow-up this was the cast of this news and we'll talk about this a little bit more introducing the new stewards of the clanker ecosystem fund g m forkaster adrienne and nounish prof yes that's us they have been two of the most embedded people on forecaster since almost the beginning staying on top of everything being built here is literally their job yep we made it our job they'll make decisions independent from clanker forecaster neynar teams humans over algorithms means no gaming the system just resources flowing to people who actually doing the work 20% of clanker protocol fees go back into the ecosystem via the cef 60% to infrastructure and taxes 20% flexible strategic reserve allows for buying clanker giving more to cef etcetera developers creators tinkerers experimenters if you're building here in any capacity this is for you more on how to apply soon and then one more comment on this from dish the superpower of the blockchain has always been it removes barriers to transferring funds it's been awesome to see a clanker powering dreamers ideas with the market's approval part of the reason i believe farcaster and clanker are a dynamic duo is because it enables hungry devs to build what they want having gm farcaster steward ceo feels a continuation of that perfect fit and so we did chat with rish about this on monday and we didn't get a chance to i wanted to clip that part in particular but it i don't think it ai clipped it so i wanted to do a separate clip of that and we'll get that out there but if you missed it this is launching at the end of this month we'll have our first round we there's no funds from prior to the finalization of the acquisition that have been accumulated all those funds stayed with merkel so it kinda started from scratch this week we're gonna build up those funds and then we'll start doing some distributions and sort of first up on our radar is gonna be the sort of the ogs the ones who have been building for quite a while who have some solid projects and that's gonna be our first focus and then we'll you know expand from there so be on the lookout and what we've been doing this week is chatting with some of those builders and i'm asking them you know about what their needs are how they're how they would use funding and then also asking them from recommendations recommendations like who in this ecosystem do they see who's contributing and making an impact and would like to see them get funded as well and so that's been really interesting to then kinda create this chain of talking to different builders so that's what we're doing over the next couple weeks and anything else you wanna say adrienne

alright and thank you rish dish manan and the whole team for trusting us to steward this so

mish rename it yeah i like rish mish and dish it really works better

okay sorry manan you're now mish i'm sorry we have to do it i think you're right so yeah it's gonna be it'll be fun i'm hoping we you know it brings some really good energy encourages builders to build an ecosystem and exciting things coming up alright let me switch gears here i'm gonna get my grampus links ready and chef which i'm really excited to learn more about and then we'll bring angela up to chat about this

come on come on links you can open i know you can and then we'll have a few more notes after our chat with angela for some other builders and fun things going on including we'll chat about the fork and the token that is coming and do some clarification around that because there's a lot of confusion but first let me read this as a bit of an intro this is about what the grampus gram voyage has been working on this just launched this week so about a week ago one kitchen 31 different curves to cook every ingredient ingredient is paired with chef through its own unique on chain bonding curve on mint club this means you have 31 distinct markets to navigate each with each with its own liquidity and momentum master these curves to optimize your on chain pantry on base but why master these 31 curves supply rarity and a little bit of chaos drive the bazaar since each ingredient has a unique drop rate the market is constantly shifting with arbitrage opportunities even our great merchant ai agent chef cub cookin is already in the mix you can track his moves on the bizarre transparent ledger and see if you have what it takes to beat the bots but the opportunity doesn't start stop at arbitrage and every trade you make on chain contributes to the growth of the chef universe as you trade you will climb the ranks of the bizarre tycoon's leaderboard tarry the rise the larger share of the monthly bony you can claim so this is like a whole thing it is a whole universe of stuff going on and luckily we have somebody here to explain more to us so i'm gonna bring up angela to the stage welcome welcome hi

i can we can hear you yeah you sound great and i know it's late there so when i saw you pop in a little early i'm like yeah we're gonna get right to that so we don't get there

yeah you can so i'm gonna remove mine if you hit share

if you wanna share screen that's probably the easiest thing to do

if you can yeah there's a little share button at the bottom that should allow you to present and if not you can

can drop the image somewhere and i'll pull it up we can drop it into our chat or something

there should be a window option okay or a tab option as

did it work this here we go can you guys see it oh hold on i think i can bring it up now yep add to the stage here we go alright okay i'm really glad you have this okay

and start with one thing like so there's grampus which is the larger project or ecosystem i'm assuming and then this is one of the products under there can you explain like what is grampus what is chef and like give us a little overview of that before we dive into this insanity that looks amazing

yep yep it totally does

and there's a chef so there's a chef token then there's this whole there's like multiple other tokens so mhmm let's dive into the a 129 ingredient tokens

your truffles okay i get it yeah

okay yeah so you're playing the game okay so you're you're playing this game but then you're also sort of competing based on your trading

amazing yeah love it love it love it and it's so fun it's like really designed well i've been trying i've been checking it out and i didn't realize at first like when we first started talking i didn't realize that the whole chef like ecosystem was you guys like i didn't realize like gram like the grampus and like it was all i didn't realize it was all connected and then i started to see the chef everything all over my timeline like just everywhere and i was like oh we have her coming on oh this is great timing so like i just i just didn't realize the connection at first and then like the and the other day i think it was not yesterday the day before you guys won the qr auction as well

and you were featured on the clanker world website for that connection now so you've been like all over the place amazing and let me bring this back up on the stage real quick

because we have a little bit more about this token so this was it's a base currency a drop on clanker this is the chef token that you use for the rest of the game so how to enjoy chef universe mint a rolling burger nft burn the nft to harvest ingredient tokens trade ingredients in the bazaar using chef dominate the leaderboard for tycoon bounties so i think that is a really good easy summary there's also a longer piece that you guys dropped on i think it's on paragraph yeah with what's next for the chef universe chef is just a spark the real fire starts with burger nft disassembly unrolling burger a 129 ingredient tokens bazaar tycoon opens with bounty and you can read about the full everything in this particular paragraph post and we'll have that in our show notes and then i liked your note here now i have a clear vision of chef universe its tokenomics is unique and sophisticated while it's an ambitious experiment i'm confident it will capture the interest of both web three gamers and traders alike so you mentioned that you that grampus is was web two gaming as well mhmm before it was web three gaming are there

and what kinda like what was that game focus was there a particular type of game casual games is that what you yeah

oh wow okay yeah it hasn't been up that that long whoops i wanna add this one to the stage not this let me remove that

wanna put this back up yeah because there's a there's a lot happening there lot going on and i yeah it's really an interesting way to approach gaming and add that web three element and it's i think it's great that coming from the web two gaming background and being able to take that and then add a token layer where you don't like lose the lose the gaming aspect of it adrienne sorry i muted you because you had a little bit of feedback but i wanna bring you in here what questions do you have for our guest

you keep eating rolling burger rolling

gotcha

yeah

like okay i'm not

yeah it happens automatically if you're if you're using it if it if you're directing it to a clanker so it's amazing yeah

yeah it's great it's it's a great new thing that they added and it wait hold on i remember seeing your your the chef token on the clanker.world and i was like oh they must have won the qr auction oh this is wild so yeah it was it was cool to see i saw it there first

yeah so this is the one where they won

and you can see that it leads into the contract address right there and then it automatically got picked up on clanker world as well it's no longer there because

someone else someone else one but it was like right here it was like nice featured right up top so it was very cool but yeah it's pretty it's pretty easy you just send it through like what yeah it just has to be at the end of your url and it'll pick it right up

yeah very cool

the you think you can direct it right to the like the clanker page or the token page yeah but but that's not what i wanted to direct i know

yep angela

yeah let's share that people wanted to know your handle on farcaster and let me pull up

i'll pull this up so people can see it easily here's one of her her casts and you can see it there it's a w r s l a dot base dot e

that is angela on farcaster and it's similar on twitter if you're ever on twitter yeah yeah it just has an underscore instead of the dot dot base dot eth with the same same rest of it yes

question in here i'm looking looking looking i thought i saw something else in here i don't know where i put it oh yes very important question from yes2crypto adrienne when you face the water in the shower angela which flavor burger nft do you disassemble this is a okay let's let her

what what i don't what

can shoot the original question let's explain the original question that adrienne started asking our guests randomly at one point was which way do you face in the shower do you face your face to the water or to the back to the back okay she's normal

it's a good answer

i the spin around but most of the time i'm back too because you're washing your hair too yeah yeah right like you have to be backwards yeah but the front of your

and then yeah but like i see it around though exactly but most of the time you're not facing the water like you're getting waterboarded and then yes2crypto decided to add the burr question

brought up yeah

good point i did i forgot about the lore yeah funny funny alright any anything else adrienne before we let our guests go

it's it's a stream

a podcast it's both it's both

like that's why we wanna there yeah

i know what i wanted to ask you i saw the mention of the bot that could trade within the game can you i would assume you can allow your your ai agent to play the game as well or to sign up and play the game especially if they have a farcaster account they can

right yeah yeah i don't know if i explained it correctly have no you did you did and i think there's and i just think there's some fun opportunity if you do have an agent to kind of unleash them on some of these games and see how they do yeah somebody else had asked again what your handle is and so just gonna put this up one more time awrsla dot base dot eth go follow on farcaster or a w r s l a underscore on twitter i wanna make sure you saw that and let me actually show this again real quick for those who missed it this amazing image that has all the all the stuff in there for the flywheel so go give it a try go check it out yes really fun thanks for hopping in today we appreciate it

yeah

yeah yeah

mhmm

no never heard of that

i have never heard

that's different okay

thank you so much

it was great meeting you alrighty bye bye bye she's so sweet yeah that was fun i let me remove that that image was really helpful too to like see that how it's all laid out but very interesting it's true i like fruitling valley but i do not like fruit in real life i know i do like burgers so i'll have to go check out i gotta check out the new thing for sure because i do like burgers alright we've got a couple more things to chat about we've had some crazy stuff going on so we're gonna talk about that crazy stuff and then we're gonna talk about some builders as well actually i think we'll we should probably start with the builders

let me start with the builders i've only got a few things there so we'll start with those so in addition to we were just showing the qr just a moment ago and we've mentioned that qr has now done a really cool integration with clanker and clanker world and they had another oops at the stage and now we're really off today there was another winner which is the wyomingdeorg so w y d e and or wide we're gonna have them on on monday so wyoming decentralized exchange is a wyoming nonprofit do not running first impact exchange it's a new category of exchange trading activity generate fees those fees fund causes so eat it's a dollar sign eat won the qr auction and was featured on clanker.world as well as the qr for the day that's the current winner right now

very excited to chat with them and see what they're up to because this is a little different

exciting about that i am more more clankers and they're coming on here as well

lot of the qr here qr to gm farcaster flow yeah yeah and then coming here it's a good plan if you are launching something it's a good marketing plan like get in touch with us win the qr auction let's get you on here to chat especially if you're building something cool have now here's another question for you have you tried fight night yet have you do is your fighter ready adrienne

try once he's gonna try them once you don't have to play all the time i know but fight night so this one is a new there's a new collab so fight night meets betterment discover our newest character betterment meet betterment on betterment and win both better and fight but this collab does not end here head over to fight night and play as better man in our new custom betterment arena opponent and more we even added a custom theme song you can even enjoy playing as better man without the need for your own unique character so it's really fun i have to say and he did like a whole like which i'm not gonna have the sound but did a whole video like trailer for this collab and it's kinda fun and crazy and the stupid fight night song is very catchy it's kind of annoying but it's very catchy so there's that but it's really fun go check it out i think you'll like it and the little the little fighters do their fighting oh this is the betterment one so and you can also i think you can still mint this so go check that out if you haven't already and also yeah i'd be scared of you as well yes2crypto fight me on fight night if you dare so here's his little fighter it's pretty badass i have to say the the cat the cat looks good in these scenarios i gotta tell you he looks

the fighting cat with the top hat the purple cat and here is the token announcement as well there is a fight token we fight tonight join the fight an epic pvp fighting game set in the farcaster universe rise as a warrior challenge rivals and claim your flawless victory fight is live and the native token for fight night wager against opponents win championships and earn your place as the ultimate fighter in the arena oh yeah and he had mentioned oh soundcloud as well

disky had mentioned us doing commentary on like a match which i think would actually be hilarious because we wouldn't know what the heck is going on it would be like the dumbest color commentary ever

totally so totally because we'll just be like commenting on like the outfits and you know like oh that was kinda cool

we

we are all it's finally here this is the end this is the this is the finalization of the whole thing

here we go here we go yeah so coming soon to a tournament near you we did we did talk to disky about that so

in the coliseum there we go yeah i think i think we might do i think we might have to do that alright we've got one last topic you ready

here we go alright i'm gonna start with this from derek for those who haven't been around for those who haven't been around merkel started farcaster with the snapchain protocol actually it was hub's first at farcaster x y z on github and was notoriously token cautious until they acquired the clanker token but neynar now owns farcaster along with the now associated token clanker and there's also i mean yes and no there's also a they own the protocol a farcaster fork called hypersnap and it's primarily being driven it's being driven by the equilibrium team which has quill as an associated token base was using farcaster x y z's farcaster and not was not launching a token but has been exploring a token themselves and is no longer using farcaster x y z's farcaster but they kinda are also merkle is now at tempo which has an infinite number of associated tokens but they're basically all stablecoins hope this helps is everyone clear now okay good

cassie wanted to qualify something look at the members of farcasterorg one member is from queue and the rest are not also you fail to note that none of the merkel tests of forecaster came over to neynar with the acquisition except for dish who came over

alright that sums it up i don't think we need to say anymore no we really do okay here's what's going on let me just zoom out for one second and then i'll get into these casts we have a fork that's happening so this happens sometimes when one community wants to go in a different direction or one part of a community or part of a project wants to go in a in a different direction and so there is a fork happening on farcaster so this came spouted up from hypersnap wanting to be added to snapchain and there was some pushback on that and it was suggested that a fork might be a better approach so cassie ran with that put together a coalition of folks who were interested in helping with that initiative so it is you know equilibrium was sort of the has the infrastructure to move that forward but they're not doing this solo so there's there's quite a few folks involved as part of that effort one of the things that they are doing is a token that is similar to other protocol tokens where it will be a reward for running nodes that keep the whole ecosystem going there's also going to be an airdrop as part of that that is a retro reward for folks who were who have been active on farcaster okay so here we go here we go this from farcaster the farcaster intern behind the farcaster accounts this was posted on both farcaster and twitter farcaster is not launching a token so farcaster now owned by neynar is not launching a token the token talk circulating right now is tied to hypersnap a fork of the farcaster protocol the hypersnap team has been referring to their token as a farcaster token understandably this has caused confusion for the broader network who don't follow the technical aspects of the protocol to be clear this isn't a comment on the fork effort we just don't want the speculation to continue bringing noise we don't want here bots farmers and scam accounts that drag down the experience for everyone so if you're joining the farcaster app today in anticipation of token there is no farcaster protocol token drop sharing the facts lets us get it back to our main focus building a better network okay this is not to discourage anyone to come over to farcaster please do please come back but it's to discourage some of the spam that's been happening and just to kinda put a note on that before i continue on the fork discussion if you're seeing some spam in the replies report the user as spammy block user block repeat which is annoying but necessary at the moment there's been a lot of this if you've been seeing this one in particular there was a lot of this i think they're doing a pretty good job of getting rid of them so this was showing up in replies automatically like bot replies were popping in to every like comment like anytime you posted something so this was from farcaster as well heads up there's a wave of scambots posting fake claim airdrop mini apps right now if you see one don't click it a few things that should be red flags of for these scams nothing is casted about it from farcaster we're if we're doing something we'll tell everyone about it nothing about it in the fc updates check the updates tab in the sidebar uses the old farcaster arch logo we're nerfing accounts as we see them client side tag the tag the farcaster account if you spot one or you want to confirm if something is real

there's been a bunch of a bunch of these as we noticed there's in particular they seem to be coming through the firefly app so not exactly sure why that particular signer has been a problem but they have noticed it so this was from brad bradgao bradgao thanks for the notice we found suspicious activities that keep registering new forecaster accounts through firefly then extract their signers and use these signers and scripts to post spam these spams are not posted on firefly we will restrict the new account registration check to avoid more spam account creation these spams will soon be nerfed and become invisible and i already noticed a difference over the past like day so couple more things excellent reporting them is the fastest lever so re doing the report helps to surface these and they feed directly into spam classifiers and reputation systems enough signal and they get rate limited deboosted or hidden blocking helps your feed immediately but is local to you bonus don't engage replies equal oxygen so don't reply don't quote cast etcetera don't interact so excellent advice from neynar reporting as spam is the fastest lever i just banned a bunch from reply guys and reported a ton use the report button let's keep our home clean and then this from the intern sorry the intern can't come to the phone right now they got access to the nerf button so it's happening it's happening alright moving back to the fork discussion this from cassie oops no hold on this was cassie's response to the farcaster cast farcaster classic is not launching a token so now there's a push to call the current farcaster protocol and client farcaster classic similar to ethereum classic and then the ethereum fork which became ethereum so this is from cassie in response farcaster classic is not launching a token the token talk circulating right now is tied to hypersnap a fork of snapchain both participants of the farcaster protocol the hypersnap team has been referring to the token as a farcaster token because it is a farcaster token protocol at the protocol level understandably this has caused confusion because neynar refers only to their side of the fork as forecaster and yet have none of the original protocol dev team to reduce confusion when we say farcaster we mean the ecosystem protocol when say farcaster classic we mean the side of the fork neynar maintains consider the history of ethan eth classic and this pov will make sense farcaster token is coming this month okay so we've got a little bit of friction going between these two sides of the fork but i don't know it's almost like adrienne it's almost like they should have named the client something different than the protocol i don't know would that have helped

like you know what i was thinking like warpcast would be a great name for a client

for those who for those in the know we went we went through that for a while clear as mud exactly clear as mud yeah it's it's i think protocols

yeah so there's a we have a protocol farcaster other clients can be built on top of it other apps can be built on top of it the protocol is open to building on top of the it's also maintained by farcaster slash neynar so that is maintained itself through snapchain as well as the client called farcaster and farcaster.xyz so there you go yeah this isn't confusing at all it's fine moving on couple more things on this this was also from cassie we expect there will be a lot of imitators via clanker and and anywhere you'll probably see some on solana you'll probably see them everywhere and also outright scams we're already seeing brand new accounts spamming an airdrop claim tool which we just went through here's what you need to know it won't be done via clanker for those who have been keeping up with development this is obvious but it needs to be said because it's actually a protocol token mhmm that is i think i don't know if they're using a mining mechanism or something along those lines i don't think it's staking i'm not sure if it's staking or mining to be honest but it needs to be a different type of token so anything coming from clanker is not gonna be this particular token there is no airdrop it's a protocol rewards based on activity also among also rewards for app devs and protocol node runners but there are retroactive rewards based on the same rules that apply going forward and there's details in the github m w mvr's frame which wish it didn't say airdrop but it is what it is reflects the current state of the retro calculation however this is not set in stone as i've asked folks before we need your input see link above so if you have information if you have ideas around this you can go check that out this is the snap that m v r was refer that she was referring to m v r snap what is your protocol token allocation so you can check to see what your potential rewards may be i would again take it with a grain of salt because it is based on i did ask what is this based on and it was specifically using the csv output cassie shared that's created from this source so on github so it was pulling this information in so it's pretty close to accurate as of right now but it might change okay couple more things this from pichi in response to cassie's cast about expecting to be imitators read it once then read it again ask serious questions to cassie directly only after you've read every link they've posted only trust information coming from their account trust nothing else i think that's important be vigilant be cautious spread the word ask questions in threads publicly ask questions in group chats ask confirm double check do not connect your wallet to anything new without ensuring it's 1000% legit this is the perfect moment for sleeper accounts and scammers to come out of the woodwork you cannot be cautious enough over the next couple weeks please share intel with friends who may have gone for a while and are coming back because they're hearing rumors make sure they are informed revoke any signers you haven't used in the past month that's important we've had a lot of problems with that so go through your settings advanced just check to see if you have any connected accounts and remove any signers you're not currently using be vigilant may the odds be ever in your favor so thank you pichi good summary and then a couple more things this was from links i thought this was really good k y b had said can somebody sell me on the fork read through surface level comments on it between cassie and rish fork seems more personal than actual useful to to protocol so i disagree a little bit with that also not too keen on supporting ex merkel employees employee for not like merkel decentralized fc either any other perspectives to look at and i thought this was a good comment from links without the fork there's no guarantee hope that fc continues if when neynar shuts down or decides to pivot the fc network which there's no indication of that anytime soon they have some runway for a while they'll be they'll be here for a bit the fc network is currently a permission set of nodes hypersnap is a permissionless set of nodes i think that's an important point anyone can run a hypersnap node soon there will be token incentives to run a node if nothing else it's useful escape hatch if anything happens to neynar philosophically i don't believe a vc backed company can truly can create a truly decentralized social platform i think there were some good points there this from sayangel i'm on the side that supports warplits which is that and there was a discussion here cassie said warplits are fork independent and beloved by both does that mean warplits get double presents for the holidays it depends if the other side of the fork has presents plan too happy to come to an agreement for the warplits for the sake of the warplits so don't worry the warplits will be fine and lastly from burr to all the returning influencers why are you here i thought you were financially stable little a little squid game reference mhmm yeah and so we'll we'll stop there yeah it's a lot it's a lot going on it's a lot it's a lot it's a lot oh poor cat poor cat if someone is taking a break from being around the airlines it's a wealth of information you're welcome yeah you've got a lot to catch up on she's like what is going on

kat how are you doing to get caught up kat kat's been like buying a farm and stuff that's awesome yeah oh speaking of farm do you like living at home she's living on a farm as is adrienne now adrienne got some pigs no she's visited some

very yes you do want to return because we want you to return we need you and the farm the farm is amazing she said the farm is amazing

alright that was fun it was really cool to talk with angela i'm not gonna opine do you wanna opine on the fork i don't really have much to say i feel like everything was covered there

where did he reply to which thing

we'll pull it for next week

yeah i think yeah i think that so i think it's a good it's a good hedge no matter what i think it's not a bad thing to have another version of the protocol running mhmm in a very decentralized manner

i you know i'm gonna be honest i really like the farcaster app itself every time i've i keep trying other clients and i like them i just never like them as much so there's that aspect as well which is a very basic user aspect in other words they really did a good job with the development that they've done so far like merkel did a really good job they had some crack devs on there including cassie by

so early on and they did you know so there's there's aspects of it that i just really like i will say i went over to i i go back and forth to quorum every once in a while and i was over there checking things out and i didn't realize that the quorum ethereum wallet is the cuss is the farcaster custody address so i found some money in there by the way yeah so go check that out and also that they have bitcoin wallets in there so there's like some other aspects that are interesting

the ui to me is just not as clean yet mhmm but it has some good features

when you created to it's gonna continue to evolve so

i must have okay must have i must have imported my farcaster address is what i'm thinking i don't remember because i did it a while ago so i don't remember how i set that up

i've just never i've never imported my key my actual custody address anywhere so i hadn't even realized that i had funds sitting in there because i don't think of it as a wallet i just don't so i always forget that right so it's interesting

i felt a little uncomfortable i have to say like it's a little uncomfortable because i don't wanna be taking sides i like both teams and i don't think it's necessary to take sides either i think you can do both and i'll definitely you know i'd asked cassie i think i don't know when i think it was a twitter space or something about running nodes what's that cost like look like what is you know because i it might be something that maybe as gm farcaster we do i don't know as long as the cost's not crazy because you never know if the token's gonna actually cover what you're putting in so more thinking about it as like contributing to the ecosystem than anything mhmm so we'll see

oh i don't have that overlay oh yes i do this one i was like where is that i know i've got it somewhere there are no rewards for running hubs not today not ever this is different than this is different than that though warps do not fluctuate in value channels are not cannot

channels haven't been decentralized yet dcs are not all those things

what are warps it's for that thing called warpcast remember that yeah so i i still think there's yeah so i think it's interesting i think we you know see what happens if you're active on farcaster and you have been there's a good chance you have an airdrop coming to you if you're not already active on farcaster come on over but also don't expect an don't be just farming just come over and you know do stuff yeah especially if you're building things share what you're building that's the best thing you can do share what you're building alright adrienne anything else before we call it today yeah there's room for both just yep i'm not just saying that as a canadian that's funny

yep

yeah

let's just see what happens

happens like let people know the timing i don't love the timing either and i think that's what i'm having like a little bit of a i don't know uneasy feeling about because i wish that there just had been more time to let neynar settle in i also wish desperately that there hadn't been so much time from when they started working on the deal to finalizing the deal like i feel like that was very hurtful to yeah everything to momentum everything so don't love the timing but i don't think it's necessarily a bad thing overall and we'll just see how it all goes

the don't like the farmers

negative attention

on a social network yeah we'll see and and it it always has and it it always will so

i i the the biggest issue right now for the next couple weeks just be safe out there check the official comms so that you're you know getting the right information and if you're interested in the larger like thing of like running a running i keep wanting to say hub node or getting more involved in that aspect of it definitely reach out to cassie follow her and keep an eye on on what she's saying because that's gonna be the official information so you don't get the wrong thing yeah and end up on some weird running some node for some weird fake thing you know out of north korea i don't think we're on there right now

yeah

yeah don't worry about it i just wanna get rich is that so wrong rich or rich rich oh wait i mean i just wanna get

and neither of those things is wrong yeah alright we're gonna call it there we're gonna let adrienne get her audio fixed before monday

it's okay

she's gonna do better alright we will see you on monday we'll be on at 11:30am eastern we'll have the team from wyde the wyoming decentralized something i forgot what he is and eat exchange is the exchange thank you and we're gonna be talking to them about the eat token and what they're doing with the nonprofits putting nonprofits with their tokens and we will chat then until then everyone happy early friday yes it's thursday and we will see you on monday and until then everyone bye bye
