4:13Speaker 1

but you went you went warplet

4:15Speaker 0

i went i went plushy warplet

4:17Speaker 1

you went plushy warplet and that was a i i am i am warp i was told warplet's on

4:23Speaker 0

so and i saw you change it to

4:25Speaker 1

i never changed my pfp and i did change my pfp

4:28Speaker 0

yeah i did not

4:30Speaker 1

big day big day

4:31Speaker 0

my twitter pfp is a warplet ish

4:35Speaker 1

it's it is warplet ish it is one of the cute warplet version i think it was or something like that it's

4:41Speaker 0

not an official i took my official warplet

4:44Speaker 1

and you tweaked it

4:44Speaker 0

and and i tweaked it to make it friendlier because mine was so mean looking

4:48Speaker 1

it was mean looking and i do have my class of 2026 farcaster mug and my toad's hat because we'll we'll get to that in a little bit all right time to get rolling alrighty i i okay

5:07Speaker 0

so out of practice

5:09Speaker 1

so out of practice okay we're gonna start with this because this is the big news

5:15Speaker 0

breaking news

5:16Speaker 1

breaking news from two days ago where we we could have done a show that day we were planning to and we i i just couldn't do it we just could not do it i didn't have it in me this from rish update on farcaster clanker and neynar we've started a process to look for a new home team to run the products going forward sharing here before anything is finalized so it's less of a surprise this time earlier this year this seemed like a good fit for our team it was a developer first network and we've been serving developers from the start there's been a lot of change since then and in the end we failed to achieve we failed in achieving our goals we're not the right fit for what's needed next farcaster is an interesting mix of tight community and not cheap to run flagship apps and slow market it needs a different setup than what we can provide talking to a few teams we think could be a good fit for running decentralized social apps and related developer products if you've if you've thoughts are interested reach out our focus is on leaving the protocol in good hands and in better shape compared to when we took it on to that end we have one increased validator operators across more geographies with on chain voting to add new validators coming next will allow any existing operator to vote in nuance instead of just core team two given validator operators access to protocol github repos earlier locked to core team reduced infra running costs by 80% to increase sustainability team put a lot of work into this like that's really impressive no product impact apps and developer products will work as normal our company will return its balance sheet most of it remains and team members will move on to something new this is not a decision we made lightly some of you have pointed out that we were quieter over the last month it's been a result of internal introspection i'm optimistic that with this next iteration farcaster will find its long term fit it's loved enough that it's unlikely to simply perish thanks to all of you and lending ness which everyone read as farcaster is dead

7:37Speaker 1

so i found that really funny when it literally says it's unlikely to simply perish not dead yet i feel fine really bring out your dead don't put me in the cart i don't wanna go in the cart so and then we had this from manan rish said it well farcaster needs a different setup than we can provide what we could provide a protocol that's more decentralized more distributed and significantly less expensive to run and grow and i think like the big thing that came to mind for me when i was reading this was the opportunity cost for them in making this bet and if you're doing a startup any startup doesn't matter what it is gm farcaster for example there are opportunity costs in making that bet and making those choices and that's what really came to mind when i was thinking about you know manan and rish and this is why it didn't surprise me i was thinking this you know a month ago for various reasons just even maybe longer of like you know what's the opportunity cost for them to keep going especially where you know the direction of the dau the direction of the market like everything was just

9:01Speaker 0

not i think so much macro has changed over four or five years like when you when you decided to get in whatever four or five years ago just there were a lot of macro forces that made sense and they've a lot of them have changed

9:15Speaker 1

yeah

9:15Speaker 0

and you like if you're gonna redo that evaluation of the yeah yeah i i commented a

9:21Speaker 1

few things you had a great you had a great post you had a great cast about this actually so yeah talk a little bit more about that so i don't have to read it

9:30Speaker 0

well i just remember like i got active four years ago so it was like 2022 was it i suppose and that was the year that elon was taking over twitter so like there was a lot of talk oh and crypto was or i guess i'll put that aside but there was so much talk about censorship back then and freedom of speech and and people were really happy about that

9:54Speaker 1

like farcaster started before he took over twitter

9:57Speaker 0

well yeah i think and then because i think the old twitter was doing a lot more moderation

10:05Speaker 1

right

10:06Speaker 0

content moderation

10:07Speaker 1

moderation sorry wrong word

10:09Speaker 0

censorship yeah but it you know mhmm so people were really unhappy so there was that time so you know people were looking for alternatives and what's changed since then i mean like the the the x you know is completely different from twitter except that it looks totally very similar from a like feed perspective but there's like drastically reduced censorship mhmm you know the community

10:34Speaker 1

the feed also just in the past month or two and maybe that's what got me thinking about this the feed has gotten better

10:41Speaker 0

feed's gotten better like in terms

10:42Speaker 1

of like you see the people you wanna see now

10:45Speaker 0

he's done a a way more on transparency so it's not really an open system but it's way more transparent in terms of trying to open source algorithms community notes being open and kind of and like it was just so black box before in terms of what is true or not so i think elon's done an incredible job with x and people are happy now so at least the people who are unhappy before are very happy now then there's people who are very unhappy and they went elsewhere and then they stayed so like you know we've heard that blue sky could be echo chamber ish

11:20Speaker 1

yep

11:22Speaker 0

and people went at least from my network like the people i knew who were kind of like not fans of elon went to either blue sky or linkedin i think they stayed there

11:30Speaker 1

yeah

11:30Speaker 0

and they don't seem to be wanting to create decent

11:33Speaker 1

i also versions yeah and i don't i think also there's a i don't know less on there there's a pushback on you mentioned this too of being so online and i think those who are on twitter are more online you know what i mean like whereas blue sky they're not necessarily threads right same thing like it's less of the you know constantly online folks

12:02Speaker 0

four years ago was before llms launched okay so since then what you have like a massive amount of ai content like yep i don't feel joy when i scroll the feed when it's full of ai slop right it's like ugh so what do you wanna do it's like there's this pull i think towards more human irl authentic like live events oh gm forecaster like people want to i don't know just like yeah avoid that so i think that's like yeah maybe it is less cool to be

12:35Speaker 1

i think there's just a lot of different things that

12:37Speaker 0

competition

12:38Speaker 1

compounded into you know additional competition just a shift in the market sentiment where

12:46Speaker 0

oh right and then crypto right so like what's the crypto landscape like yeah you know obviously that's changed a ton

12:52Speaker 1

that's changed a lot yeah so and i know

12:55Speaker 0

people talking about max like max decentralization and no max privacy and like the ethereum values

13:03Speaker 1

we're shifting to enterprise enterprise and industrial crypto like institutional crypto making trade offs

13:12Speaker 0

like they'll they'll make trade offs for for speed and and scale and it's that will tend to

13:18Speaker 1

be more complex what have we been experiencing this summer it's been robinhood summer

13:23Speaker 0

yeah

13:24Speaker 1

these are the people you guys hated mhmm just like five years ago six years ago literally hated them so it's really funny to kind of see all those shifts and i think when you see all those shifts it's like it changes your calculations as to you know what you can do moving forward and i think there's also been just like poor sentiment on the timeline of making things very difficult for the neymar team you know do you like to be yelled at every day like i don't it's not something i'm signing up to do so i think once you start to think about that and the opportunity cost it's like okay i think we're done and then you know risha also had a baby i think that changes you as well like it changes your just it changes your thoughts on like what you wanna do so anyway i thought you had it like these were it was very well said i agreed with everything and then you also said at the end makes me sad because i still care the world would be better if people had more power over the giant corporate networks and it feels like we're getting less and less power but we're going to do

14:39Speaker 0

yes because the network effects will continue to get like gain more power and lendiness is hard to compete against and so yeah

14:48Speaker 1

and you know great example of that is threads i i started using threads recently just in this past summer never was i i could not see a reason for him to launch that i thought it was dumb i was like why would you even do this why would you compete you know it didn't make sense to me it's a totally different environment and culture that has and that connection to instagram is what made it work even though i thought that was dumb and i was like i'm never gonna use this i deleted it at one point and that and then i was like oh for pop culture this makes a lot of sense because it's pop culture without i don't know it's just different than you find like on twitter so it's more fun it's lighter if you if you have the right algo you also can tell your algo things you don't wanna follow which is very interesting you can just tag this thing and it's like don't show me any more of this

15:51Speaker 0

all platforms have that they i feel like they just don't listen to you

15:55Speaker 1

yeah they just don't listen to you yeah usually you have to train your algo you know what i mean this is like very specific thing you tag yeah

16:04Speaker 0

mhmm yeah

16:04Speaker 1

so there's like interesting things that have surprised me that i you know honest i swear to god if it wasn't for love island and me watching love island i wouldn't have gone back to threads and it's only because none of you people wanted to talk with me about love island except for like five of you and i appreciate you and the channel but yeah that was why it's so funny all right moving on this also this came before and i think this was another like indicator and we had some other indicators when we had discussions about the clinker ecosystem fund and that were behind the scenes of just like you know taking a pause reevaluate that kind of thing it wasn't a full on it was just like you know we needed to have a conversation and i'm sure it was all wrapped up into this we just didn't realize so this was the wind down of neymar studio you may have seen the banner in the app the important stuff your publish app stay live you can export your code from the dashboard anytime the banner that said downloads at downloads end august 8 was wrong updating it now if your apps aren't showing up or you're stuck exporting reply here and we'll help why the team's main focus is on farcaster and clinker not daynar products and low usage of the studio made a clear thing to drop to be able to focus more elsewhere so also viniapp being something that came along that was is really good just really good so

17:40Speaker 0

vinny app is fantastic i can't

17:42Speaker 1

say that

17:43Speaker 0

vinny app is enough of vinny app

17:45Speaker 1

it just works better i've created mini apps with both and vinny app is much easier to get you to for somebody who does not code at all right but it probably doesn't have as i don't know if it has as much i don't know like robustness but it seems to be really good for at least your basic things it probably has robustness if you know what the hell you're doing as well anyway long live farcaster we're at half mast because we're dead not dead not dead if you take anything away from this today not dead yet we also had this this was funny so dan dan casted quick let's all open up fc app to cast about fc dead have seen this movie before which gave me the opportunity to throw body python out there again

18:51Speaker 1

yes dan you were in charge of this movie last time and then this was really funny from justin on farcaster warp cast farcaster two farcaster with a vengeance and then what i really liked was brett draws stuff wait till you get to far five too far to to caster was a pretty good sequel though so i just appreciated the

19:19Speaker 0

okay plophead have you watched the fast and the furious

19:22Speaker 1

i have not i think i watched the first one and that was it because so no but i got i had

19:30Speaker 0

this thought i've seen zero totally got the joke i've seen zero of them and i did have a thought recently that i'm like maybe i should try to just run those back like run them down and just watch them all i don't know why

19:39Speaker 1

and then and then and then we get and then we get farcaster tokyo drift like it's i wanna go in with electric boogaloo but you know farcaster farcaster two electric boogaloo but you know it was a way it was a way to go but really funny and then justin on again kenny how much cheaper is a strict chronological following feed and justin replying the three certainties of life death taxes can he ask you for chronological following feed and he's like tripled down on this like just today i think there was another cast by him really talking about it it's so funny it's just it's just you can count on it you can count on it

20:32Speaker 1

and then and then we had this so there was a community call two nights ago that cassie organized to talk about the option of quarlibrium quorum hypersnap whatever you wanna call it doing a proposal to acquire barcaster so there was a discussion there this is it's a two hour call so what i would suggest and we'll have these links in the show notes is read brad q's highlights it was very good so in i'm not going to read everything the transcription summary is really good from flor and that is in that'll be in the show notes also that's also in brad's replies and then also the full recording is there too if you want to listen to the full recording but i thought this was really good so thank you floor for that we also had and i don't think i pulled it which is really weird because i thought i did nikki sapp had done a write up also which was very good which started off i believe the title is i think barcaster's really dead now

21:57Speaker 0

this time nikki this time i just wrote two months ago that it was not dead but now it's dead

22:04Speaker 1

yeah it's dead like nikki i wrote it stop it but all of these were really good summaries of the community calls so any one of these they'll all be in the show notes highly recommend that you give them a read and stay caught up you can also check out cassie's profile she's written a lot about what her plans are so we'll read it

22:31Speaker 0

caveat i'll just add that it's a community call not the community call right was it's a

22:36Speaker 1

oh that's a good point

22:37Speaker 0

like yeah there there is no monolithic one community on farcaster it's like so it's you didn't like if if you didn't listen it's it's a and a community of many with it

22:50Speaker 1

it's not yeah there is a community call that is held monthly which i don't know if they're doing one next week maybe i guess it depends on what's happening that they've been doing they used to be the dev call then they became community call so that's like the official from the farcaster team call so i don't know if that one's happening next week i guess we'll just wait and see by the way i missed i missed just like how we were on the same we were on the same wavelength there i didn't even see your comment funny

23:26Speaker 0

just like how we are a farcaster news show we are also the farcaster news show because there's not another one

23:32Speaker 1

another one

23:33Speaker 0

but there could be like you someone else could create a new show and then we would be a farcaster news show right

23:39Speaker 1

correct nobody has we will always be nobody

23:42Speaker 0

has been that crazy no we are still i will still claim we are farcaster's number one news show

23:49Speaker 1

yeah regardless regardless of whether or not you start another one

23:52Speaker 0

if someone tries to compete with us we will

23:54Speaker 1

always be number one good luck with that good luck yeah so we end

24:02Speaker 0

by by the way about like so neynar is nancy had neynar developer tooling or infra farcaster infrastructure since the beginning when they acquired farcaster app and protocol like they have the different components there's clanker there's neynar tooling there's farcaster i don't think i would just

24:23Speaker 0

there are no answers as to what happens to anything yet so like i don't think anything's being no no plugs are being pulled but you know t t tbd i would say who the new acquirer is right we'll determine that main are

24:36Speaker 1

yeah i believe the plan is for all three of those things to be bundled together to the new acquirer but but you never know because i i already saw other people who just want different pieces of the

24:49Speaker 0

and i've had this thought because all of the things we built on farcaster like heavily leveraged nayanar so it's like is there a world where the protocol continues in one format but like you know tooling gets shut down what does that mean but i don't we don't know yet so right

25:03Speaker 1

we don't have so so we're a really helpful news show today where we have no answers for you

25:08Speaker 0

listen we're it's a live show breaking live show breaking news i love when i see people laughing but some people are always behind you know like yeah

25:16Speaker 1

they don't know what they're laughing at

25:17Speaker 0

like i don't know what we did to make you laugh

25:19Speaker 1

which thing which thing did we do by the way also this was this was back here too not half masked half cast good point yeah alright we've got we've got a few more things i actually took out a bunch of stuff this morning because i was like we don't have time for this

25:35Speaker 0

we're not even half cast i guarantee dao is up this week

25:39Speaker 1

oh it's definitely up i've seen people on here good boy

25:44Speaker 0

oh so many

25:45Speaker 1

people so many people wait this was happening before i hate when i have to go to x because it always looked different and it annoys me

25:56Speaker 0

you can't

25:57Speaker 1

hide that

25:57Speaker 0

left left column i guess though

26:00Speaker 1

doesn't yeah it's just a pain in the butt this was so funny and this was happening before the announcement by the way this was like a couple weeks before because we've been off for a while people are saying they miss farcaster even making chats on x you obviously don't miss farcaster that much if you won't if you won't open the fucking app like it's true what are you doing and then there was this from bricks bounty men will literally tweet their sadness rather than clicking on the purple arch distribution this distribution that why don't you distribute some of your insightful thoughts over over yonder through the arches use firefly if so inclined so that i just thought those were very funny

26:52Speaker 1

yeah because yeah and then we've got this so many complainers are are coming out of the woodwork against farcaster you may kindly disregard their opinion don't take criticism from whom you wouldn't take advice yeah we've seen that like it's just freaking hilarious so anyway yeah there's all that but it's it's dao is definitely up it's probably triple what it's been at least like even dan's casting again come on now everybody's back

27:34Speaker 1

could you stick around this time it would be really helpful if you just stop believing

27:42Speaker 1

alright in other news this is interesting from tldr alas robinhood seems to be doing what all of us base builders were betting coinbase would do give privileged distribution to their chain's native assets on their massive consumer app at least we can watch the hypothesis play out we really need it we really need this but for base on coinbase app 10 ago if possible like that's a whole other piece of this puzzle that is that made things very difficult that when the first discussions were happening for nader to buy farcaster it was happening pre base pulling farcaster they knew about it when they finalize the deal they didn't go into it blind but you know that's big shift they had a lot of shifts this year none of them good frankly none of them good oh by the way oh i don't have my box handy where did my box go my girl scout cookie box i just remembered christopher i just saw today mentioned something about girl scout cookies and i still have first of all i have a box somewhere like my original box the degen box and then i also still have a sleeve of girl scout thin mints in my freezer so christopher i am ready whenever you are to buy some girl scout cookies alright then there was this everyone changed their pfps to warplets and we got 2 k eth lesson in there so there you go i did it i changed it there it is

29:29Speaker 0

can you change it back i don't like when people change their pfps it's i

29:32Speaker 1

usually don't my small brain i usually don't but i did this time

29:39Speaker 0

i love say angel

29:41Speaker 1

i do too so that's why i did it that's cool because you know it could be the warplets or it could be this in something something bond market but this was also in news is the crypto the regulation of crypto assets sec proposes new rules so today the sec this was two days ago the sec proposed new rules regulation crypto assets that would create a clear and fit for purpose framework for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets this is pretty detailed and basically it's opening up it's an innovation exception essentially where it's opening up opportunity for startups to launch with to launch more easily with tokens as their method so it essentially is them saying we're not waiting for clarity but also clarity supposedly i am not holding my freaking breath at this point the cloture vote is happening in september supposedly it's gonna pass brian armstrong posted something yesterday as well about this we'll see we shall see anyway okay did you read

31:03Speaker 0

the new regulation and was yak shits mentioned

31:06Speaker 1

yak shits was mentioned i was surprised and they said absolutely yak shits yak shits is a go move forward with it it's definitely great investment i am joking we are nothing we say here is investment advice in any way shape or form ever ever ever ever but yeah wouldn't that be a freaking riot nothing would make me happier than yak shit to take off oh i was toady had posted you know 2 k 2 k eith would fix me and i was like i have some other thoughts like also many other things would fix me like 3 k eith or you know a penny for like anything that i have a million or more of i'm good with banker at a dollar like that could happen maybe maybe no probably not also oh speaking of and i was i was gonna do this later but let me grab it right now because it kinda goes with this if i can find it where the heck did i put it i literally just pulled this up where the heck is it what did i do with this

32:31Speaker 1

oh for goodness sakes i can't find it this morning flexosaurus

32:38Speaker 1

i wonder if i closed it flexosaurus posted this thing in nobody should do it i'm just telling you right now it is the most painful thing i have looked at in a long time it will show you how much money you'd have in your wallet

32:54Speaker 0

while you post

32:55Speaker 1

if you if you do not if you did not sell anything

33:02Speaker 1

don't look at this it's a very bad idea but it's very cool so very cool flex but i've warned you all do not do not look at this you will just be sad so you've been warned but should you know i know that telling you guys not to do something pretty much means you're all gonna do it but i did warn you okay few more things heads up farcaster there's a misspelling in the homepage promo video balding so i was like it it was it was sad that we weren't on that day because the show definitely would have been balding mhmm i even i even did warpy curate boulders and it became a thing for like a day and it was pretty funny so you people are funny and this is why i stick around for now

34:01Speaker 1

the bold the bold meta was great it was great

34:04Speaker 0

i was on vacay i missed it

34:06Speaker 1

you missed it it was funny right people were you know they got funny they got funny with it this from abram we incorporated splits months after w and i started this is like from two weeks ago we just missed it and then we went on vacation like three weeks ago we incorporated splits months after w and i started working on it we did however raise capital during this pre incorporation time period during our recent hack week we prototyped a tool for making this better it takes the workflows of a trad incorporation and raise defined cap table amount raising valuation backer allocations etcetera and uses on chain primitives tokens spotting curves programmable refunds public receipts it's our first experiment in the capital formation space looking for feedback questions pushback especially if you're a builder considering a friends and family round preach please reach out this is really cool and it really ties nicely with the sec's new regulations so there you go and i think that's probably you know what the thinking is here too but very cool so

35:15Speaker 0

we think we we love splits obviously and i for anyone out there if you're like i always think of like splits as kind of on chain banking like anything you would do banking but they if you have a business you wanna experiment like they're also reach out to them and they will get on a phone and walk you through anything and talk like you're not on your own so like this sounds interesting but i don't think i think i'd probably want to learn a little more before i jumped into it but like reach out to them like they're they

35:47Speaker 1

and they have a video walk through to help you a little bit but definitely if this is something that interests you highly recommend you talk with them they're really easy to work with too if something's not you just ask them like hey we need this we needed compliance for the cef you know it was set up like it

36:05Speaker 0

was already done immediately

36:05Speaker 1

it was already done but i mean we didn't have it

36:07Speaker 0

they set it up for us

36:08Speaker 1

yeah right so there was like they're just very responsive so i love it

36:14Speaker 0

so is that i wanna do more with splits but don't know where to start 100% like reach out to abraham or zach yeah zach or w like or will and just like just say hey i'd like to you know drop on a call for half an hour and just you'll talk through what you're doing and they can

36:32Speaker 1

you could literally just reply to this cast and it will be in our show notes and or just go to abrams feed you'll find it and he'll they'll get in touch with you probably yeah today they're very tell

36:45Speaker 0

them we sent you

36:46Speaker 1

tell them we sent you

36:49Speaker 1

tell them gm farcaster sent you next up our used car dealer era no we're just being set we're just networking i know we just love them we seriously love their tools that's that's that's why this from n from nicolette

37:13Speaker 1

this got a little crazy so this was a meme coin that she dropped as

37:22Speaker 1

a memes and vibes no road map to but it was a but it was an allocation to fids 20,000 or less which of course just pissed a lot of people off because

37:36Speaker 1

it always does but one of the things i saw that i thought was really funny was somebody on over on x saying that these these i don't understand why these low fids they've never built anything they've never done anything i'm like dude fid twenty fifty one and 169 could buy and sell most countries in the world like if they just pull their net worth together i love that you literally

38:09Speaker 0

know people's fids like you more than their names like

38:13Speaker 1

i would it's trivia i'd like remember looking them up for trivia so i know like off the top of my head i was like look like you're crazy if you you don't you like clearly don't know who like the very early people were and i get that because you weren't here but it's hilarious to even slightly say that they've never built anything like literally what this person was saying and i'm like you really don't know who you're talking about okay because yeah they build

38:43Speaker 0

things breaking news someone has a bad take on the internet like what are we gonna do

38:48Speaker 1

i know but it was funny i was like no no no this from w bends oh we missed his his his you did you get to play the game okay let me read this because he was telling us about this game that this was coming

39:04Speaker 0

oh yes the leg yeah yeah yeah i did

39:07Speaker 1

so yeah this is let me and i'll just read this from w benz me my friends and family are all super competitive and we're always living in or traveling to places where we can't speak the language very well i wanted a fun way to actually pick up words better and to challenge my friends so i can say i'm smarter than them jk i totally get that and i feel that and i understand so i've made a game called go cab free to play no ads every day the whole world gets the same game it resets at midnight see how many words you can get right and how many people you can beat before time runs out it's available in french italian portuguese and spanish to start you can challenge your friends if you want to play or try to beat my score 85% on spanish i would do horrible on this but very cool

39:55Speaker 0

did you play

39:56Speaker 1

i did not play because i was like i'm gonna be horrible at this and i don't like to play games i'm horrible at

40:01Speaker 0

which is why you pick a language

40:03Speaker 1

i play me i play trivia all the time and win me and brad q just going back and forth every time we play

40:09Speaker 0

it's a really cool app you pick an you pick a language and it's a little bit of a speed game like picking which word for what but i think it's for for what he wants to do it for it's like oh you're traveling somewhere you want that language you it does not teach you that language it is not duolingo like it doesn't teach you the language you have to already know some spanish or you have to know some french but it will kind of jog your memory

40:35Speaker 1

force yeah i probably could do the french one and probably do okay but yeah it's been amazing

40:42Speaker 0

by the way shout out there's also another word game that everybody gets the same how what's that every day

40:46Speaker 1

what's that word game called again i forget it

40:49Speaker 0

word a day word a day i haven't played in

40:51Speaker 1

a while i know i need to play yours as well i'm sorry i think i did try it but i really like i like playing i like in sync ones not async ones i'm weird like that like i like to play with my friends okay because then it makes me feel better when i beat them so i'm weird i'm weird like that but i will play again kay on fire because he does have a good trivia game so i do need to go back in and play play that again and quizzy i haven't been in quizzy for a bit but i like games like that but i've been playing the lobby trivia lately and it's been my distraction through just hasn't been a great month for life we'll just leave it at that so i start talking about it i'm not going to be happy all right moving on from jababoo this is interesting especially as we go into election season in the us here three months chart of visitors from my democracy slowly then also leeward bound and i wrapped up meetings with the senate and house to get permission to use their apis for email delivery it's all coming together mydemocracy.app check it out so it's an easier way to contact your representatives there's some things out there that do that now but they're usually tied to one specific issue like they're tied to a specific bill like stan with crypto does this you know periodically we'll send something out and you can go or you can even just go to their website right now and do that for specifically the clarity act but this is gonna be a little broader so very cool good to see you still building there this from and i'm sorry because this is coming late but hopefully it's still relevant this is from some of our decentraland friends who we met when we did the little tour with oddjob and the crew introducing friendzone build the place your friends keep coming back to today we're reintroducing friendzone the next dcl regenerist labs build a thon pre registration is now open from august 14 to september 4 creators will have three weeks to build their own experience in a decentralized in a decentraland world and compete for a share of 8,000 mana prize pool plus additional rewards badges and potential potential featuring in decentraland mobile app but friendzone is more about it's it's about more than prizes and it goes on from there it's pretty long but very interesting so there is a kickoff there is a three week build phase it's in progress right now i am not sure if you can still jump in or not but there you go so very fun and there's a lot of other things happening around this so very cool somebody knew who 20 was

43:55Speaker 0

i was i didn't even mean to

43:56Speaker 1

hit that

43:56Speaker 0

i was trying to get the dcl comments up

44:01Speaker 1

well done chris jacob if

44:03Speaker 0

we don't you're correct your forecaster name so we can shout you out

44:07Speaker 1

yeah please tell us and also if you happen to know who 51 and 169 are feel free to drop them in the chat if you're right i will tell you moving on we've got a few more builder things to talk about and then a few fun things to talk about this is a sad builder thing this was actually this was curated by yes to crypto and i missed it and it was curated as sadness that was like warpy curates sadness

44:38Speaker 0

we don't do sad news on the morning show we're trying to keep this upbeat

44:43Speaker 1

it is sad news but also i have a call to action for people in canada so this is from samantha i'm sorry guys i have bad ish news too too it's like bad ish news every day great shipping to the us is temporarily paused because of the tariffs i'm hoping that canada and the us will come to a deal soon but unfortunately this just makes me a sitting duck the tariff if i were shipping to the us would be 50% so if you bought a candle for $49 you'd be paying nearly 75 with 25 of that going to the government for the tariff my margins aren't good enough to absorb a 50% tariff at most my margin is 50% and export 99% of my sales to the us essentially my business is at a halt due to factors out of my control some of this gets interesting and that's why i'm reading it i've always believed in having my candles produced by me with great attention to detail using north american suppliers while visiting a candle factory in china and seeing the quality of work they do i realized i was able to produce the quality of candles equivalent to nearly the work of 80 people with this new tariff it's actually cheaper to produce and import candles from china around 30% the reason i don't sell as many candles in canada is because canadians have half the purchasing appetite of americans this is the part that i found

46:09Speaker 0

shame on you canadians on you shame

46:14Speaker 1

what's your concern what is

46:16Speaker 0

wrong with you what is wrong

46:17Speaker 1

with you what is wrong with you toady hawk i'm talking to you right now i i wanna see you purchase a candle you bought a you bought a toad yesterday i want a candle in your in your basket for your lovely wife my conversion rates for canadians are 2% while the conversion rate for americans are 4% you wouldn't sell winter coats in florida they actually do sometimes so as a business it's important to sell where customers want you additionally i've always thought of canada and the us as great allies yeah we do too we fought in wars together i put money into the us economy by traveling there and using us suppliers for raw materials to make candles it's unsustainable for me to continue selling candles in canada i may try but this could very well be the end of humankind candles the tariffs have not gone into effect yet and are due to go into effect tomorrow no one including me knows what will happen this saturday i'm going on vacation to take a break from it all we'll see how it goes but for now if you could follow me on ig as i do not know what will happen with fc i would be grateful also i would recommend following on tiktok because she does just really good tiktoks and they pop up every once in a while and i'm like oh they're really good but she probably puts the same thing on instagram as well so either one so find humankind candles on both of those so that's your call of action today and

47:40Speaker 0

this is actually the saddest

47:43Speaker 1

go go freaking buy a candle

47:46Speaker 0

linx buy a candle linx buy

47:48Speaker 1

10 all our canadian people right now we buy a candle

47:54Speaker 0

otherwise we're gonna kick you out

47:56Speaker 1

we're not gonna watch canada i i bet there's a canada channel and i'm just gonna like start tagging people dropping the thing go buy a candle

48:03Speaker 0

can i just say this is the saddest news ever

48:06Speaker 1

i know

48:06Speaker 0

and this will actually make me political if i know you're going after sam

48:11Speaker 1

i know you're going after sam and it's just stupid it's stupid and you know it's gonna get rolled back and it's just stupid so it pisses me off

48:21Speaker 0

alright there's a problem samantha's candles last too long like her quality is so good it is too good

48:27Speaker 1

they last too long they do last really long you need you're right

48:32Speaker 0

you need one in in in every room of your house and gifts

48:37Speaker 1

buy them for gifts they make a they do make a really nice gift because they're packaged nice and they're very pretty and yeah candles rabbit holes exactly yeah wait candles candles she could call them canadults okay yes so we expect all the canadians to buy candles today that is your job you have one job buy a candle this from farcaster tag a builder whose thing you actually use they probably don't hear it enough so go do that today not a boulder but a builder so go do that like sam if you really like our candles you should definitely do that okay we also had some other just funny things that were on the timeline that are we're past the time of them but i still found them funny so i'm pulling them up using only food where did you grow up this was a meta that was flying around

49:35Speaker 0

mhmm

49:35Speaker 1

and this is mine by the way as soon as i saw this i'm like yeah this this was also me so there you go and it started with czar i think it was yeah where did you grow up i'm assuming nikki's from philly i don't know but it looks like philly to me and then this is interesting usually only only food where did you grow up i'm not sure where you grew up so are then we had arjan too posting

50:07Speaker 1

and then and then that was really pretty by the way that's a very pretty one we went with hoodsie cups but i just said ditto to max's i didn't even bother posting this was really funny the food quote cast tree of all the people who did this particular quote cast and it was a lot so apparently you all really liked this particular little copy pasta with a twist copy pasta with a twist but it was really funny so i enjoyed that we also had this happen because it's robinhood season so now the groupies are getting hoodies so hoodie groupies are now live and they've already minted out they minted out within twenty four hours i don't even know if it was that long if you have a peaceful groupie or collected any of my artworks in the past few years you're allowed listed get yours if you fuck with them and i got mine i did sell mine i didn't love mine i might circle back because i'm i have a couple that i have in mind and no it's not the one with the new york yankees hat absolutely freaking not but i do see some goggles and that's the one i wanted so i'm i'm gonna circle back i know how this game is played i'll wait i can be patient and speaking of things i'm being patient for hence the hat come on six where are you excited to share more about hypertoads in the coming days oh wait i gotta start with the beginning introducing hypertoads a recursive a recursively evolving fully on chain digital species on ethereum and this is the toads this is all based on cryptodes and cryptodes is cc zero if you did not know that so hypertop hypertoads are a fully on chain species built on top of cco cryptodes artwork that grow and be a mutation driven evolution the species is seeded by genesis hypertoads which are spawned via auction at a maximum cadence of once per day starting with the genesis hypertoads any hypertoad can evolve which via mutation which spawns a new mutated hypertoad of the next generation the parent hypertoad remains unchanged while the new hypertoad is born that resembles its parent but with slight visual mutations anyway really creative idea

52:43Speaker 1

that i just love because i love the toads so i'm i'm a fan of pixel art in case you didn't know that and i'm gonna wait because i'm looking for i have a affinity for pigtail cryptodes that is my that is my jam and also i know how auctions i know how this goes down and they're gonna be expensive at first and yesterday's was expensive and congratulations toadie hawk on getting hype the hypertoad number one so he picked that one up and it has a little i think it has a little mcdonald's hat or something it's kind of cute but yeah they're they're not not cheap and that that's what happens at first with auctions anytime you have this type of thing there is a very dedicated cryptoads community who is crazy about the toads so they are gonna go hard for this i'm gonna wait because that's what i did with getting my original toad i had to wait for a while so anyway excited to share more about hypertotes in coming days as mutations start and things get rolling even in the max mutation scenario it will start off quite slow one tomorrow three the next day seven the day after that 2n plus one every subsequent day if all goes well and people care about it it will be competitive to get these early hypertoads since they're free in limited spots but over time they should become pretty accessible late generations look pretty fucked up to be honest in a fun way the other thing is it's like allow listed right now but if you have a cryptode if you have a noun if you have like various pixel art things you're on the list

54:34Speaker 1

are you okay you you're i know

54:37Speaker 0

no i

54:38Speaker 1

it's the yankees hat wasn't it that made you laugh

54:42Speaker 0

did i put that up on the screen that way i didn't mean to

54:45Speaker 1

it's the yankees hat it was probably the yankees hat

54:49Speaker 0

okay i got we got the the fids which is 50

54:55Speaker 1

that's 50 '1

54:58Speaker 0

where did he go we got oh p marka and fred wilson

55:04Speaker 1

that is correct that is correct chris jacob with the win

55:08Speaker 0

mark andreessen fred wilson yep and that's 10 x chris who we know

55:12Speaker 1

oh it's 10 x chris okay okay we just didn't recognize you yep that's that's the ones yep so put those put those three together you come up with about i think it's about 15,000,000,000 in net worth who built a lot of stuff like things that a lot of people use every day

55:34Speaker 0

yeah

55:35Speaker 1

and that's the equivalent of like you know 70 different countries of gdp they have more money then so tell me again how there's no good builders in the early phase anyway you can tell that really got under my skin sometimes things do that one did this from one dalinski come on check this out aj made an nft generating app with binny app i selected the color and creative direction in the app the app mints an nft when i use up 1,000 aj then he physically creates the origami that's cool

56:14Speaker 0

that's cool yeah

56:16Speaker 1

that's very cool we like if you don't know oddjob's

56:21Speaker 1

origami skills it's quite impressive so that's really cool and i just happened to see that yesterday oh here was the flexosaurus thing why did that not come up for me earlier that was weird so here was the flexosaurus flexosaurus thing i built a tool that shows your wallet would be worth if you never let anything go don't do it it's literally max pain and then one last thing this also from oddjob and i'm just gonna play it but i'm not gonna do the volume you won't need it i might i'm gonna i'm gonna fast forward just a tad it's an unboxing of something can you guess what it is adrienne have you seen this

57:08Speaker 0

is it a candle is it a canal

57:10Speaker 1

it's not a candle it's a canal a cannadale a cannadale cannadale any idea is it a warplet ish you're on the right track

57:24Speaker 0

is it a potato head no is it yes to crypto yes why

57:32Speaker 1

a plush it's a yes to crypto plush amazing what it's amazing i think it's a plush it might be it might just be it like it might actually be a toy not a plush

57:45Speaker 0

oh

57:45Speaker 1

but it does not have a tail and we don't know why who did

57:48Speaker 0

who created it

57:51Speaker 1

i i don't know i assume that oddjob created it but i don't know oddjob if you're in the chat you could let us know why you have a yes to crypto

58:06Speaker 1

toy but it's cool this is funny by the way i like that but very cool a three

58:13Speaker 0

d print and that's my

58:14Speaker 1

last thing i mean go to three d print who very cool so wait did you yeah we have questions because we might want one

58:23Speaker 0

who designed it who designed it and who printed it

58:27Speaker 1

oh you commissioned it for yes to crypto oh very cool very cool it's it came out great it's really cute it's very very cute

58:40Speaker 0

yeah i mean i just spin up a mini app it's a shame i guess neymar studios down but go to mini app spin up a mini app for people to pay you eth to commission their own pfps as

58:53Speaker 1

there you go as as toys yeah and make millions it's clearly a good

59:01Speaker 0

business idea

59:04Speaker 1

something something make millions

59:06Speaker 0

wait i mean obviously this is it

59:09Speaker 1

it's definitely it alright folks anything else adrienne i missed a whole bunch of stuff because there was just too many things so i started taking things out so we didn't talk about the banker d gen little twitter fight which felt like engagement bait anyway so whatever it was amusing i found it amusing

59:34Speaker 0

yeah i i guess i did

59:39Speaker 1

i found it amusing sometimes it's fun it's fun to watch people to fight on the internet sometimes

59:47Speaker 1

next show is monday i think we on monday you're not off again right are you here what's going on are you traveling again i have no idea what your schedule is we think i think it's monday we have

60:02Speaker 0

unrelated to forecast yeah we have a lot going on weirdly this summer

60:11Speaker 0

so we're tired we have

60:12Speaker 1

a lot yeah we've just had a lot of like i wasn't on vacation vacation i'll just put it that way i was on i was on the world's saddest vacation so yeah i've had a death in the family and then i had to move my child into college and i didn't think i was gonna be sad about the empty nesting thing and yet you know i'll just randomly wake up crying so it's it's not going well and there's a few other things that are going on similar to that so

60:43Speaker 0

you know a little bit of a little bit of grief going

60:45Speaker 1

on here

60:46Speaker 0

when it rains when it rains it pours and like the you know bad things happen in threes what like i i get

60:52Speaker 1

why happening

60:53Speaker 0

like in like sixes twelves

60:55Speaker 1

or twelves i don't even know what we're at right now it's been bad it's been bad so it's been it's been a tough summer yeah

61:03Speaker 0

i wanna dish out and let truck has money oh we forgot something we totally forgot something we have a shout out oh you're right literally someone paid for a shout out that you oh my god thanks our api i have it written too many someone showed up earlier looking for you but we think you were napping so you can if you i don't know even know if you can look at comments that far up but someone was trying to say hi

61:32Speaker 1

hold on hold on hold on i've got it i had it ready too

61:38Speaker 0

like when it like yeah so when you make it rain it should pour actually like there is a phenomenon that once you like the rich get richer so i think probably

61:47Speaker 1

it's going in the wrong direction right now like okay for me anyway it's not been a great summer it's not been a great like especially the last three weeks have been horrendous so like probably the worst since 2017 so that's where i'm at yeah it's bad anyway

62:09Speaker 0

and unfortunately we

62:14Speaker 0

can't just like work from home and hide so you get us when we're happy and you get us when we're sad in the lobby this sounds like an announcement for dog trivia tomorrow okay so

62:25Speaker 1

i can't believe that catwalk vegas is allowing dog trivia that seems

62:31Speaker 0

oh i'm telling you trivia is joining in the empty nester oh

62:35Speaker 1

i'm sorry

62:36Speaker 0

it's it's a whole different type of grief

62:39Speaker 1

i really thought i was gonna be immune to that for some bizarre reason

62:44Speaker 0

because you're getting

62:46Speaker 1

i was delulu in a big way delulu in a big way alright we do have a shout out so let's get to it i had it already too this is crazy that i almost forgot so thank you les this is from les hey gm barcaster team just wanted to say hi and say i love what you all do les and that's and he had his agent buy a shout out just to do that and we appreciate you les og of the of the low of the low fids

63:18Speaker 0

of the low fids a total world builder and

63:23Speaker 1

63:52Speaker 1

yeah we really appreciate i thought it was the old one i thought it was the first one so i didn't i went and looked yesterday to see if we had any and i didn't even like i i ignored that because i thought i'm like oh that must be the old one so anyway weird and yes so warplet's on i do put my warplet on today made me happier and so wait there isn't dog trivia or there is dog trivia or is it just a call for more dog trivia i'm confused

64:23Speaker 0

oh yes we can do dog trivia next perhaps monday yeah but didn't he just say dog trivia tomorrow who's that dog trivia tomorrow exclamation point you mean question mark

64:35Speaker 1

say question mark 12 games all dog trivia okay that would be interesting dog trivia on friday okay all right cat tomorrow cat is tomorrow is friday i'm confused there's confusion all right but anyway if you like trivia go to the lobby try and beat brad and i it's fun there was one day that i missed everything like it was all music trivia i was offline i was taking a mental health day and you're all so lucky that i was offline that day because i woulda crushed it do you wanna explain how we do the shout outs adrienne

65:20Speaker 0

yes i do if you want a shout out and you wanna experiment if you have an agent point your agent at gmforecaster.com slash shout out and literally just say book me a shout out like send it the documentation we have docs here and on github but it's linked from here is the easiest and just say i wanna shout out on gm forecaster do it for me the agent should set everything up we have an api that they can call it's $5 usdc but also you don't need to like send private keys anywhere your agent should be able to just like spin up a temp wallet give you the address that you can send 5 usdc to and it can take care of it so it should be really easy you can also tag warpy on farcaster not twitter yet but that'll be coming soon but tag warpy and you can ask warpy to book you a shout out and warpy will also take care of it or banker so or you can also do our yes if you have banker club bank there's a banker skill so you can ask banker to book a shout out and no one's done that yet so no one has used banker

66:25Speaker 1

to my knowledge yes to crypto did yes to crypto was our

66:29Speaker 0

first banker totally right he experimented with it they like they did like three

66:34Speaker 1

yeah but yes literally aquius just ask warp tag warpie it's not that hard if you just ask ask warpie it'll it'll tell you exactly how to do it or bankr either one and we

66:49Speaker 0

yeah sorry yes we i forgot

66:52Speaker 1

i remember

66:53Speaker 0

we do not have we have all x four zero two revenue zero tempo so i'm just i'm keeping score

67:01Speaker 1

you can also do it with tempo with mpp and nobody's done tempo yet and yes we are keeping

67:08Speaker 0

score and i've tested so i think it works but it would be funny to see someone try it and i

67:12Speaker 1

like to troll dan just waiting i like

67:13Speaker 0

to troll dan with my score to say there's zero people using it don't send your private keys to cat facts even though they will ask you to

67:26Speaker 0

don't send your private keys to anybody don't send your private keys to your agent don't share your private keys unless it's a throwaway wallet yeah don't don't share your private keys that is financial advice

67:39Speaker 1

67:40Speaker 0

ever give you any sort of advice don't share your private keys

67:45Speaker 1

that is the only thing oh yeah can you i would like that thank you need to make all time leaderboard in the backlog i bet brad or professor is top i think brad might have me because there's a bunch i missed and he was playing so i think he's got it but let's find out because i'm not competitive at all
