it was like i was it was it was an insta register
yeah take my money meme was my reply i was so excited little bit of a you know you had to move some base usdc into your wallet so that was a little bit of a a a bump not a bump but you know it took a minute but literally like took a minute and the fabric site was is beautiful so fantastic job by this team speaking of fabric the the shout out pre by
the way shout out oh sorry
go ahead
can i give a shout out mike and rainbow wallet because the getting base in my wallet swapping was super easy
oh good
shout out to mike yeah and the last few times i've had to bridge for other things like it adds a little bit of friction almost to the point but this was super easy i had base in another wallet but not the one connected to my ens so i really wanted to make sure yes my connected wallet like i was paying with the right wallet so i did a i did a swap and it couldn't have been easier love the layer twos because it couldn't have been cheaper and just it was just really smooth
great
we've come a long way good job
we've come a really long way really smooth and there was a little there were some little alerts going on like the site isn't safe or something like that that got fixed very quickly it was alerted so if you had any issues like johnny mac was on it and he was working with rainbow on that and speaking of johnny mac the far con pre commit campaign is officially our biggest campaign by number of unique contributors and the fastest growing so far 87 percent participants have contributed 17:40 usdc in less than 24 hours grateful for every single one of you so much so that they're opening a second campaign so like it was that fast and as it should have been because you and i have talked about this before farcon is life changing like at least it was for me you know i can't speak your experience may vary so this little you know nfa nla your experience may vary but for me it was literally life changing so i am next level excited so how about you
i feel the same way i remember hearing far con announced last year and just thinking like should i go i think i should go i guess i'll go and then i went and it it it's just it was i haven't done things like that before and it was such a surprising experience the quality of connections professor and i met at far con
we met at farcon yes kind of yes of this is because of farcon like 100% this is my little farcon sticker from last year had to put that on
wanna hear a funny story
yes i do of course i do
about how i met johnny mac not one year at farcon so farcon last year there there were a lot of people i had already kind of been hanging with on my feed i knew already on in the url space so it was a natural irl and and made a lot of friends and it was great and at some point i was introduced to nonlinear and he just looked at me and he was like but why are you why are you here like who are you in the crypto space like what you know like what have you built in crypto what do you work on in crypto and he was trying to connect the dots and i was just like oh i don't know like i'm on farcaster
i'm just kidding
i'm crypto curious and i you know like and he was like oh okay cool and look at us now so and
look at us now
and that yeah
john and speaking of nonlinear was a big part of my farcon experience also we were on a panel together and let's just say it got a little spicy still waiting for the video but it was a lot of fun
so spicy and i so spicy to do things like that again but i just the reason i share that story is i really just wanna encourage people who haven't who you know it's kind of like the i thought farcaster was so special because it's super it's not this secret club
cabal of
what what did you say
cabal it's not a cabal is that what you're saying a cabal
i've never heard of a cabal i don't know this cabal word but it's not it's super welcoming to new people and you know i'm gonna cringe when i say this but if we're gonna onboard the next 1,000,000,000 you gotta you gotta you gotta welcome people so it was super welcoming to me and i just kinda wanna keep reaching out and to kind of bringing people who
encourage anyone to go
familiar conferences yeah
and i had a very similar experience with that because i wasn't that connected yet on farcaster so i walked into that room and i knew one person really i knew chris co created and that was it that i really knew and there were a couple other people i knew from builder dao but that was the first time i was meeting them in person so it was i wrote a couple things about it and i'll post this in our in our channel that you know for me it was like i knew i was in a special room and i knew that and similar to you like i was like how did i get here how did i get in this room i probably don't belong in this room like you know and it was kind of that feeling but also knowing that like i'm in a room it like it was like the moment of like this must be what it was like to be in google's dorm room you know what i mean like that's the feeling i was getting like i'm i can peer into the next you know the future of the internet is in that room and to me and it's it's everything so i'm super excited farcast her is having a meetup on saturday and are we doing sailing i'm on a boat i think

do it
i think we should so linda will be hitting you up as soon as that bounty goes goes live very very excited denver yep we're gonna we're gonna do all the fun things in denver oh fondue okay there's a suggestion for fondue we might have to may have to shift from karaoke to fondue because that sounds good alright we do have a few other things going on not really i'm just kidding oh one more thing from jp at the first far con cameron coined the term farcaster stack with the context that we should actively dog feed and promote apps and tools built on or natively integrated with farcaster let's continue this tradition at far con 2024 and we agree that's what we try to do here at gm farcaster okay we've got like a bunch of other stuff to go through we're gonna zip through this in like a whole like 5 minutes 1st outcasters this week and our most active users we had a little shake up purp and waker at the top now not surprising because the d gen channel is popping and they are big contributors there and this beautiful outcasters this week amazing i love this cover photo it's incredible this was this week's snapshot was curated by pixel and it is amazing oops i forgot to get rid of the subscriber you can subscribe to outcasters it does not want me to move on i'm already subscribed and we have the total users are over 50,000 now amazing i love this little pick of vitalik in paris amazing and it's just a really great collection this week so go check that out we also have a few other things happening like there was an upgrade we missed it there's a latest version of the farcaster protocol called giraffe and the mint just went live so you can mint with warps and the giraffe is here so it is adorable and it would've been our background well it's adrian's background it would've been mine too but i went with farcon but adrian is sporting the giraffe this week and it is adorable so go mint that you can mint that with warps and somebody had posted rue had posted does anyone else get a message that says there's a new version of warpcast with a restart prompt almost every time you open the app 1 to 4 times a day for me not sure if it's a bug or the w c team is shipping like crazy and the answer from dan it's the shipping happy to move slower if people would prefer that and rish's comment back was please stop taking such suggestions do not ship slower so that was pretty amazing and speaking of shipping smart conversation threading is here live on web rolling out to mobile so if you're in a conversation view tapping show more adds the cast to the page instead of taking you to a new page replies are intended are indented more clearly so you can navigate a nested conversation so that's pretty huge so you can check that out moving on to the d gen channel d gen dollar sign d gen hit an all time high yesterday it is now dropped down so don't get too excited but this has been really interesting and here's what's interesting because of that bankless hq said we just put this on our alpha team's radar like what wait what
do we also do we do we need an alpha team
do we need an alpha team
does gm forecaster need an alpha team
are we bankless hq for forecaster interesting we have to think i think we have an alpha team you know who they are it's our it's our chat we have a gm forecaster chat now you are welcome to join just we have a note in our channel come on come on over you can comment on anything in our channel we'll add you to the chat but it is it has been a fun chat and that's who came up with karaoke so if you have you know if you have feelings about that you might wanna might wanna jump in there but that's our alpha chat you are our alpha chat and we'll and speaking of that chat i don't know if i should say this this is probably gonna get me voted off the island but i am participating in cassie's second hunger games and it is it's quite a thing so if you're we talked a little bit about that last week i mean last week monday it feels like last week it was like
48 hours ago
it was a 48 hours ago it was like 700 hours ago so it and it's you join the group chat and there's 64 people plus cassie and she then half of them are eliminated in 24 hours and then the next 24 hours half are eliminated you have to vote for somebody or you are eliminated so you have to vote for someone in in a certain type of format and she compiles all the information and then starts eliminating them and i was watching like i so i stayed up late just to watch this it was like 12:30 in the morning or something for me and you know watching the people leaving they're getting kicked out and then we did a sudden death because we had to kick out 2 more people so the the votes and the people who didn't vote get dumped first and then we still have to get rid of 2 more people so we had a sudden death vote and that was really interesting but it's a little nerve wracking like it was a little nerve wracking so we you know we've had some little strategies discussions in in the in the gm forecaster chat as well so just saying you know if you're in there you might wanna might wanna swing by
so it's been really fun
it's been really fun and poor links got he got voted out in a sudden death in the alpha chat i mean in the in the in the first one so there's 2 of them there's hunger games 12 and he was in 1 and he got he got dumped so unfortunately that was unfortunate what are you gonna do but i think dawuffy and i are still alive at the moment in the second one and our john so and cybershakti so speaking of lenspost are one of our sponsors today so cybershakti is in that one as well so it's been really fun it's a fun experiment it's really interesting because i'm a big survivor fan i have watched it you know since it started so the game theory stuff really kinda feels very similar to that where you're thinking about who am i voting out and why and thinking strategies and all of that so the the votes were easy this first time i think this next time is gonna be much harder because then you start like then it might be might be time to turn on your friends unfortunately it's gonna get it's gonna get rough from here but it's a lot of fun
you're not playing you're playing 0 some games over there
absolutely not maybe so it's it's really interesting when you start to put like the you know there's the gameplay and then you have to start a little bit think outside the game and there's implications and it gets interesting but it's it's really and
what do you get for win survivor
i don't think you get
what do you get for winning get pride
i don't know i have no idea i assume it's just pride to be able to say you won i don't think there's any reward but if anyone knows let us know in the chat okay really quick so so we talked about dee jen brian has a new group chat as well if you struggle to know when people are live on unlonely try joining consider joining the is anyone live on unlonely group chat and when we are live we'll type hey we're live and other and other folks as well who cast who stream on on lonely and then i love this from mcbain we need some farcaster native conspiracies conspiracy theories and there's some my favorite one was by syed let me try to come up with something dan and baroon are planning to leave and hand over warp cast to coinbase if they get meaningful traction by the end of 2024 and graham said this is too scary the other one is cassie hart does not actually exist she is actually a team of people working for mysterious entity and it goes on from there so that was kind of fun one more thing from johnny mac crypto apps does does not work but could be fun to fix i thought that was hilarious and true and then we do have uncle dabo i just thought this was funny you're in her dms i'm in the group chat she's sending screenshots too with the fc cabal plotting the next meme coin we psyopt you into buying so that was so
i saw that one too i saw that one too right you can't send screenshots in a group chat yet
no you cannot so it's inaccurate
i need my i need my memes to have to be a little more accurate
uncle dabo when you're doing your memes please please check for accuracy but the idea was funny so i enjoyed it okay i just i just speed run through that i am so excited for farcon that's our big news today we're excited to be to be there to be live streaming there we do have to shout out all of our sponsors we love you all we still have one spot available for clp for a very last week of the month so please jump in there but thanks to monkeyd links type of our john tupan yes to crypto wake justin and lenspost who is our clp this week and i'm really excited for friday i am super excited for friday with friends this week we have jack who made that beautiful piece for farcon who's doing incredible things with icebreaker super excited to chat with him and also find out if he's doing any more swagcaster if he's gonna bring any swag to farcon we gotta ask that question so and that is it for us anything i missed adrienne that was a lot we jam packed into there did they miss anything at all alright alright so that is it for us thank you chatters i'll see you in the hunger games for for those who partake be kind to me there's a there's a chance i'm gonna shout you out if you vote me out i'm just telling you i mean that may be a good thing for you i don't know which but i'm excited it's fun and we're gonna see you at far con for sure make sure you get signed up go and apply and we will see you here on friday different time this week i think it's 2 pm est and we will see you then have a great wednesday bye bye
