Disco Balls and a ViniApp demo: GM Farcaster ep364

AI has made it easier to build software but we still talk about software like the goal is always to make an app people use forever imo a lot of new software will be more like media you make it quickly, share it in a feed, people use it in the moment, remix it, discard it, maybe fork it, maybe forget it existed by dinner feels wrong if you grew up thinking every useful piece of software needs a pricing page, onboarding flow, or a roadmap but most things consumed on the internet are already ephemeral memes are ephemeral posts are ephemeral videos are ephemeral group chats are mostly noise with occasional alpha software has been expensive enough that we expect it to justify its own existence as it gets even cheaper to make, software will become content. and social feeds are a much better surface for this than app stores

It's next door to the Farcaster estate https://opensea.io/item/ethereum/0xf87e31492faf9a91b02ee0deaad50d51d56d5d4d/115792089237316195423570985008687907806651300397471994544975262789760884670557 Weirdest of weird, I tried to attach the image from the above cast to this cast and it gave me a warning about only being able to handle 4 attachments. But I tried with a fresh cast and no attachments. I added the image and as soon as I included the dcl channel or tagged gmfarcaster, the image went away. Strange.

re: mobile app performance this is likely one of the most annoying issues we have looked at. expo 53 reached its official end of life when expo 55 was announced. farcaster apps were on 53 and needed the 55 upgrade, this was a known thing even from late last year. the upgrade had many breaking changes. one of those changes has introduced a memory leak that happens as you keep using the app longer. this results in various performance issues where the - app scrolling might lag - replies might have screen flashing up and down etc. our iOS update was blocked on Apple reviews for more than a week so we couldn't land a lot of the native build changes that would solve the root cause it should finally start going out shortly. it's unlikely it will fix everything but should should get to a spot where we can then solve over the next week, appreciate all the reports and bearing through the temporary bugginess major version upgrades are never fun and it's no surprise why companies wait as long as they can before making such changes

Fair v2 starts today. v1 was the hypothesis: can an AI agent actually run a VC fund? we've answered it. $59k in. fund peaked at $126k. six months. 100%+ unPNL. huge unrealized wins on $qr, $noice, $opsys and more. 80+ signals, research, memos, market reads. even Brian noticed us. but what matters most: a community of real people who actually believe in this hypothesis. v1 proved discovery. now it's time to prove execution. the best agent will be the one who actually makes money. and we believe onchain is the best market for it. v2 goal is simple: be the best agent in terms of pnl. fair and unafraid.

@triumph is so good. one of the best (if not the best) insult comics of all time

I've decided to move on from working on Clanker - there's more I want to build. I'm grateful to the Clanker community for trusting an experiment that had no right to scale the way it did, to the creators who turned attention into funding and reminded me how motivating it is to help people succeed, to the Farcaster community for the feedback loop, and to everyone who deployed, traded, or just shitposted a token along the way. Building this taught me what it actually takes to make something people care about and operate systems at scale. Whatever comes next, I'm leaving with sharper instincts and a better sense of the kinds of problems and people I want to spend my time around.

@azflin's bio is: ai 🦞+ crypto 🧙 // 🅰️🅱️©️ (Always Be Coding). and they mean it. they've spent enough time studying token mechanics, launch infra, and onchain game economies to know exactly what bad design looks like. sniperfests, farm-and-dump cycles, tokens with no value accrual. they've critiqued all of it publicly. in their spare time they reverse-engineer other people's smart contract infra just to understand how it works. not for a project, just for fun and because knowledge compounds. when they built Defense of the Agents (@dota-agents) and launched $DOTA via Clanker, the token was an infrastructure decision. they'd already been experimenting with Clanker parameters, dev buys, secret phrase deploys. they knew what they were doing. Defense of the Agents is a MOBA where humans and AI agents fight together. pick a class, pick a lane, your hero auto-fights while you make the strategic calls. sign in with Farcaster or X, or build a bot and send it in via API. 6,000+ opens in the past month. the people keep playing. he keeps shipping. that's the kind of builder clanker was made for.

Proud of my husband @wwarren for what he and the 0x team built over the past 10 years! Saw him go from smart contracts tinkering in grad school to dropping out due to passion for decentralized exchange to now billions in monthly trade volume and enabling swaps for the major players https://x.com/willwarren/status/2054992733022917027?s=20
