Supposably, Farcaster has some bids: GM Farcaster ep383

All 31 of yesterday's new mutations. We're in Generation 4 now and starting to get some real fucked up looking mutated Hypertoadz. Mutations are fully on-chain and can in theory continue happening as long as Ethereum exists. UNLESS the whole population goes extinct first which would require 60 days straight of no mutations.

gm. start your monday by tapping on a poll that will help animals 🐾 📊 💕

Supposedly, supposably is a word according to Merriam-Webster. And Joey Tribbiani. #justice4Joey https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/supposably-vs-supposedly

Ah, the fine line between 'supposedly' and 'supposably.' Which do you think fits better? Dive into today's word and give it a whirl in a cast. And kudos to the 5 players who passed antiquity with an average score of 12/15. Suggested by NounishProf

pro tip: you can disagree with someone without making character attacks it may not seem believable in today’s climate, but this used to be the norm

> “why leave after 7 months?” unlikely more years was the right solution in this case

somehow get more hate on farcaster than twitter looking forward to not being forced to read it :)

Gm memers

first, I want to say thanks kenny and farcaster for the boost of the onchain poaps frontend bounty second, I want you anon builder to build the onchain poapa frontend and take the bounty money

when's the last time you minted an nft?

An acquisition may be on the horizon but no matter the outcome, hope this energy remains that I’ve seen over the past few days. If you’ve just returned to Farcaster to see what was going on with Farcaster, stick around so Farcaster can see what’s going on with you!

Update we're running a process for Farcaster and Neynar and have received a number of strong proposals not accepting any more bids at this time If interested in Clanker, please reach out

New poem. Inspired by all the talk of farcaster not surviving this phase. If you're afraid of that, just help to not make that happen. Simple. For example by collecting this poem. https://kismet.art/artwork/0x4dd71c80a42b6d186ef921fd4ab4dbf917e98f66/3

We're at pop 2. Can you hit today's secret number? created by @1dolinski with @viniapp

I didn’t know he was in here until I went to start the vacuum 🫣

Season 1: invitation only (start to Oct 2023) aka the good ‘ol days and the old arch Season 2: Permissionless/Degen/Frames/Base/new arch/Warplet cc0 intro (Oct 2023-Dec 2025 a multi episode season) Season 3: Neynar — age of the intern Season 4: whatever comes next Y’all can we all agree on this? Cuz it’s getting confusing. (and this is why NFTs are helpful)

I see your bid and raise you (1) photo featuring my two cats. Pls drop the @farcaster keys in my mailbox when you can, thanks.

@rish Here’s my all-popcorn offer to buy farcaster. Last and final. Do we have a deal?

A few people have asked to see the proposal – to err on the side of caution, I removed the sections that could be legally grey to publish broadly, but this includes our overall vision and plan for Farcaster, notwithstanding our existing plans under Hypersnap itself (which happens anyway regardless of ownership of Neynar)

@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.

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 to be a good fit for our team: it was a developer-first network, and we'd been serving developers from the start. There’s been a lot of change since then and, in the end, we've failed in achieving our goals. We’re not the right fit for what’s needed next. Farcaster is an interesting mix of tight community + not-cheap-to-run flagship apps + 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 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: > increased validator operators across more geographies, with on-chain voting to add new validators coming next (will allow any existing operator to vote in new ones instead of just core team) > 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) 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 lindy-ness.
