gm farcaster it is tuesday march 5th and you are here with adriana nannish proff and our far noggles i love the far noggles thank you i've oh my god i've forgotten his name i have to tag him but this was a product of david furlong and team pulling these together and i can't remember the gentleman's name but i will find you and make sure i tag you in this i love them and they are a takeoff on these of course so thank you very much for our far noggles but these are the prototype so we're gonna take them off for now maybe i'll leave them right here i don't know if they'll stay they might stay okay there we go but they are phenomenal what do you think adrienne
i don't know how do they look
they look fantastic i mean they're really cute they're really cute they look great they just they just need a little work on the making sure they stay on thing i know these are these are very much an early prototype but they're pretty awesome
out of 10 10 out of 10 on looks
okay do like a do like a little side like this so we get the full view and then we'll make sure we get the screenshot later
i'd say kind of 0 out of 10 on functionality it's very hard to say on my face
very hard to say on the face
let's get some let's get
but they are they are adorable and we're looking forward to version 2 but they're they're great i really like them so thank you very much they're amazing we picked those up at at denver and you're still in the mountains so that's why we're we're a little early today so
i'm still in colorado i will never leave this is my background i moved over to about 45 minutes away from denver now and still enjoying the mountains i was just thinking this morning i still can't get over the fact how good denver was with everyone
i know it was amazing and it was so amazing people we
met and but i'm leaving today
tad tad but good but good it's time it's time it's time to get back to the real world so but we have a few things to chat about today so let's dive in this is from the just another reminder about the phishing emails i know we talked about this yesterday but i just wanted to post this reminder again phishing emails are being sent to warpedcast users do not click on any links or connect your wallet remember always check the emails and links come from warcast.comorfarcaster.xyz
don't connect your wallet to unknown websites never share your recovery phrase with a website so if you get something that says join the farcaster evolution don't fomo without checking also if because there was they're using some certain emails from a hack and there's a lot of that going on right now you can tell we are now officially in somewhat full market because all of that stuff that's been gone pretty much is back so even in the discords that i'm in i'm seeing all the craziness again and so just be careful out there people don't fomo so
yeah it's okay to be skeptical
yes
definitely very very skeptical of everything
be skeptical don't rush into anything like just hesitate for a minute it's fine also from v he did a podcast with cinehab where we talk about frames forecaster and more i didn't know he did podcast i thought that was just dan's thing so i have to go give this a listen have you did you even see this did you have a chance to listen to it yet
i i had it on the other day in the beginning and it's a if you're interested in kind of also more the kind of the technical decisions and that you might find it interesting i didn't get through the whole thing
okay i have to go and take give that a listen because i just saw that today so i have to go give that a listen and dig in see if i can even understand it but i don't think i've ever heard dee's voice so there you go there we go so that'll
be great i can be
i know but i haven't so i already know yet i haven't yet so i'm looking forward to that
and we're getting him on our podcast
on episode 100
yes
very exciting
he'll be wearing a gm forecaster crop top i've heard and
i didn't hear that part know this has that has that been confirmed
no no it hasn't and vina might not know this but dan committed both of them to show up live
he did commit to show up to commit you to show up live 100% if you didn't know that you were you were committed just like he promised video by the end of 2024 and you you came through with that by like the end of january so that was pretty good that was good that was good that was good promising at least that time hopefully it works out as well with the with the promise of episode 100 moving on speaking of dan what's i loved this cast what's one thing that's confusing about farcaster and one of the things that came out of this was a discussion about storage so i thought this was a great cast if having global state on a single server is important you get to choose 2 long terms long term storage censorship censorship resistant cheap so this was in response to trish who said i'm one of one of the 5 to 15 this stresses me out wanting to keep everything people not may care now but nobody knows how valuable a fully archived fast farcaster will be undoubtedly very valuable and possibly most to people who aren't thinking of it i'm pretty much in the space for watching history unfold which i thought was a great cast as well and i wanted to mention mark hiver so that's what i kept posting on every every that whole discussion i just kept tagging mark hiver over and over again because you can download everything your all your stuff that's currently still available like if it's already gone you probably can't grab it but i when we had them on in january when we had them as one of our one of our clps that month i actually for i archived everything at that point so i'm just gonna periodically go back and and do that so that i'm keeping everything but that seems like a great option for now for those who do want to keep everything all your casts everything you can do that with farchiver so there you go this this this cat this is not a sponsored this is not a sponsored message at this moment it was back then but it's not now just because i do think it's a really good idea
yeah and i think it is confusing because it's not totally clear what gets clipped when you lose it if you're kind of coming over from from a twitter and you know that that doesn't get lost you know like you can go back in history you might expect it in in warpes so it's so it's not farchiver is one solution i know there's actually several archiving solutions and then you have other just kind of apps like something like a searchcaster which isn't yours personally but there's other kind of apps pulling permanent state
yeah that's a good point that's a great point great
point yeah centralized yeah and these are centralized so like no guarantee it stays forever and it'll be open for you so they can rug it that's
the one difference with barkhiver is that you are downloading it to your your to you like so you are keeping it yourself so that's the one difference but that's a great point searchcastr is another great option so there's you know it doesn't necessarily have to be warpcast's or merkle team's solution it can be other solutions for sure so i you know there's only so much you know storage is gonna take a lot of money so i think it's you know fair to to call and i don't really care if my likes are called like that doesn't bother me as much i know that bothers you
well well no you don't care but the person whose cast you're liking might care because it was like i had this banger i had the banger of a cast look how many likes i got and then a year later it's like 2
2 because they're all called because they're all gone that's true got lost that's true but i you know i don't feel like that's as important as the like initial cast themselves you know so i do think and i do kind of i also the other thing i've been doing which you can see in our discord which is the private discord for us i've been trying to grab those casts so i can find them more easily that we we always refer back to and i also grab it as an image so that i always have that as well so that you know in one of them i was thinking about today actually was barcasters proof of work and he requires proof of work
when they release that but there is a save like you can take a cast create as an image good for sharing on other sites won't name which ones but and save them i think there's i know there's frames as well i'm sure out there that you could lets you mint casts as nfts and and people doing that but what i loved about dan kind of calling out when we talk about the storage it's the reminder of the constraints of people because guess what users will ask for everything and it's and and we don't wanna come we we want everything we don't wanna have to make choices it's like yes i want long term storage and it must be censorship resistant and by the way it needs to be free
it needs to be free
so so to the reminder of the constraints and and when you're choosing something it means you're giving up something else absolutely so because i'm not happy about my casts being i like i want them forever but more important to me is censorship resistance so interesting by him bringing that up into the field i was like okay right that is actually why i'm here
yeah so what does that mean to you though why does that like is that the centralization of the storage or what is it that you're thinking is not censorship resistant if they keep the cast forever
well it just gets
it's huge right
well then it just gets super expensive right like the bigger if you keep everything and with decentralization it just gets bigger bigger bigger bigger who's paying for this
you exactly that's the that's the bottom line somebody's gotta pay for the storage and if you don't want advertising like to me that's more important i definitely am i am willing to pay for the storage aspect if i don't have to see an ad every 2 seconds from you know no offense cheech and chong look because that's my old twitter feed even though i have i have i i had what was twitter blue which was the only subscription option but now there's like a premium plus x or like yeah i'm not doing that so i still see ads even though i'm paying on there so that's annoying to me which i probably can just get rid of it now anyway but that's you know that's frustrating so i don't want that like i do not want i will pay for storage if i don't have to have ads because that to me is is important number 1 for me
but what i like i'll pay for storage but i also realize i can pay for storage it doesn't need to stay on the hub from from merkle like to i can use a farfiber solution exactly i want it so there's just lots and lots of options when you wanna provide
and there'll be more and more and there will be more and more so you know it'll just it'll just keep evolving but i thought that was a really great discussion so if you haven't chimed in or haven't seen it go take a look and we're we're glad we're glad you made it in there eggs o eggs that we're up a little bit later today so some of our west coasters can actually join us today okay moving on if you if you semi regular warp cast annoyances thread if you were b d f o w f what would you have us work on and that is benevolent dictator for 1 warp cast feature and i have seen a lot of people quote casting this which has been great if you don't have a suggestion like your favorite one to 2 suggestions helps us understand what's most annoying so i thought this is super helpful and one of those if i can find it again was something from erica that was when someone casts in a channel for the first time they should be shown the channel norms before posting that cast i've been correcting a lot of folks in replies and dcs that aren't following norms and they apologize saying they didn't know there were any not easily discoverable unless pinned 247 so i thought that was a really great suggestion and i know there's some there's there's starting to be some work around that in terms of if you're doing right now there's some experiments happening with how can we control spam but also allowing those who are genuine users who just want to have their cast seen to give them more visibility and one of those experiments is to pay with warps to cast in a channel and that's it's in process it's in process there's some there's some downsize and it doesn't work for every channel like it's not something i would wanna use in any channels i'm currently hosting but i get it for some of those 100000 k channels that are just a little bit unmanageable it might make a lot of sense but also having the norms be shown first before they have to pay for that i think is super helpful
something that'll be useful down the down the road for sure like i'd like to see that you have to agree and then you can move on so kinda similar to way when you join a discord but have them be yeah something you actually read hopefully
i love it yeah great i i loved her suggestion and it's also low friction so it's not do this buy warps click here it's just yeah i've already written my cast i'm sending it to a channel oh by the way let me send it out
one time it's my first time yeah and and i just wanna make sure that this fits too that it's the right topic for the right channel and we have you know we have people like builderdao is a great example it's slash builder so if you're not paying attention we get a lot of casts that really belong in-depth it doesn't really belong there it's not gonna get the and most importantly it's not gonna get the right visibility there's nothing wrong with the cast it's it's a it's great it's a great thing you should definitely be asking it's just in the wrong place and it's not gonna get the visibility that you're looking for it's not gonna get the response because it's not in the right channel so things like that would be helpful for sure
yeah oh my god and i can't now i'm trying to remember the name there was another channel that like it was that was very similar to that where it's like it's for a dao or an nft project but it actually means something completely
all the time yeah all the time i get that
gm farcaster we get
a gm we get a lot
of people saying gm say gm to farcaster
say gm and i kinda am like okay it's fine like
one brand
it's fine yeah it's fine we take it
you can say gm
it's fine you can say gm in our in our in our channel it's totally fine every once in a while i might hide you if you if you say something else that's like weird and off topic i love this also this cast from dan if you had a cool social connection as a result of farcaster reply here i did reply and basically just said go see gm for easter chills because that was my really cool kinda social connection that i got from here was a cofounder and that's been many many times to people which i think is amazing that people have and that just points to the the y c right the y fc is the y c
y c are they fc is
the new y c we're in the incubator and actually win we did announce something along those lines and i don't even know if i have the announcement up here i don't that we are gonna be expanding what we're doing and we're gonna be launching hypersub subscriptions and some new sponsorships and a lot of things are gonna roll out over the next 2 weeks and part of that was that you know we met at farcon and we decided to now move this into full time full time gig because we love what we're doing we love farcaster and we love helping it grow so there's a lot of people who've met their founders here and what but one of the things i said was you know a thank you when dan posted that he was excited for us i was like well thank you for creating this incubator and that's what it really is and i you know greatly appreciate that so and it's the open nature of it all that makes it that way so yeah anything else you wanna add to that we have a lot to roll out and it's gonna be more next week but yeah
we're getting there no i mean that is when i talk to people who don't get like why like the whole crypto space the the the permissionless nature which is no one's inviting you there's no formal fill out this form to find your cofounder there it's not there's no like it's just show show up
if you wanna start a morning show fill out this phone yeah show up broadcaster
and start participating and kinda magic happens did you pull up the cast from variant about their
yes
minus so like what you said about the kind of so here it is by the cofounder
minus 1 to 1 to 0 when founders know they wanna start something but are still figuring out everything out and may still be employed we wanna talk to you this is from variant and they have the little meme they don't know we invest in founders at the 0 0 01 to minus 1 to 0 stage and i thought that was really funny so yeah that was a great yeah that's a great point like they're actively a vc is actively looking for you on warpcast
and they filled out so there's a form i at least it's for new york city right now but they they host kind of informal casual events dinners for people who are kind of in the exploring phase and like maybe i wanna start something maybe i wanna find a cofounder by the way don't tell varian i said this you don't need them because you can don't tell them you can just find them on warpcast but by the way are they really investing in founders at the z minus 1 to 0 phase
i don't know they i mean they say they are they say they are and so and i think they do i think they do sometimes and i think it's really about you know is your venture you know vc type of backing needed if it's needed you know is that investment needed but i think that's amazing that they're on warped cast saying that though too it's really cool that they're actively saying we want to we wanna help you we wanna help you build
we are still back raf
we're so back we're so back we're also back it's also back we're back were we ever gone we never left still here i'm still waiting for that episode to come out still here that i did a while back anyway this was really cool this was from jesse just minted a frame so based it's a frame where you can make your own meme using like some of the typical memes and jesse had added i am once again asking for you to be based but you can click on this meme hopefully it'll work for me you can click on this frame and find the meme that you select your meme that you wanna use you pick it and then you fill it out and create your own meme in a frame and i thought that was so cool like just make it so easy to kinda create you know use your own you know humor and create a meme in like 2 seconds without having to like hunt it down and all that so that was really cool cool use of frames i thought so we have to figure out some memes and go use it i just didn't have any good ideas at the moment i was gonna create one but i'm like i got nothing right now my i
have a meme i wanna create
okay i'll be waiting
so yeah i have all sorts of ideas for memes
i'll be looking for it please drop it please drop the link in the discord if you don't mind if you don't mind moving on ted observation the best pearl games by measure both entertainment and engagement are the ones where the opponents are bought in and ready to rumble and where the pairing makes sense best example a 16 z and variant if the product has to choose between entertainment and frequency to me the choice it seems obvious and i agree and so does dan because i think dan has now said i'm out i'm done i can't do it anymore i think that you know i think the buy in thing is really helpful like get people to opt in and then i think you'll get a lot more engagement like natural organic engagement rather than you know this is again the casino versus the computer kind of thing like let's get more of the computer involved and have it be a little bit more fun but i i love what pearl is doing i think it helps with engagement for sure but i definitely like i have really enjoyed the woj versus vy that was just funny it was cool to see how he was using supercast like it made a lot of sense but sometimes they also come up when people aren't ready for it and they weren't planning to you know when jesse's skiing or something don't include him
right
because that's kinda unfair to them especially if they wanna support you but i do think it's still you know a fun thing so i'm waiting for the adrian versus anybody pearl game because i'm i'm definitely betting on adrian no doubt even even if you were you know in the mountains at a spa day i think i think you would win but pick a different day we gotta start wrapping up i got a few more things that i wanted to mention on chainzian online this was from jesse coinbase and base have done a bunch of consumer research and onchain outperforms every other word that people use for crypto if you're using blockchain web 3 crypto etcetera find a way to switch to on chain and you will be more successful like on chain media for example i did like that and then a depatch mode is still seeking a tagline for us so here we go gm farcaster your conflict free hub for farcaster's top gossip probably not the winner adrianne but it's got layers of technical pun
do do you like it
thoughts i i think it's a little clunky i think it's a little clunky i don't know if it'll catch on but i think it's kinda cute
yeah it's not as smooth as the one he created for china
looking for you to bring bring your best here
it needs to roll it needs to be something you can sing that rolls off the tongue very easy that
we're getting there though we're getting
like 21 minutes of forecaster news even though we never go 21
even though it's we're already at 20:23 minutes and i do think i i hit all the big ones i wanna mention one more how many fire casters do you subscribe to notifications when they cast i have 3 it's a bit obsessive but it's also the passion of my job so i do think that was a pretty you know cool point that you can also now super follow people so i'd like that idea and i was talking to cameron about that so i need to figure out how to better follow and super follow people so that i'm making sure i'm not missing people i really wanna see their cast of and i know as the algorithms got more busy it's harder and harder because and cameron was the reason i was talking with him about this and i just don't see his cast as much and it's just because busyness so i think that you know notifications and super follows and things like that are gonna be really helpful and i think that is it for us today that went incredibly fast today one last note if you're announced go check out the cast i just put up i'm gonna try and help get some folks an active badge with an active badge boot camp help them get to 402 weeks or less if they have less than 400 followers are or working on announced project so let me know if you're interested this offer open for the next couple days and then i'm gonna get that started so and we'll see how it goes i'll report back on my experiment that's super cool we shall see we'll see if anybody takes me up on it alright that's it for us today we will i will be back on friday at 8:30 am we're gonna be back to our normal time and back to our normal time next week as well but on friday i'm gonna have a guest cohost and that is heavyweight erica very excited she was with us last night we did do a gn farcaster last night it was dropped so you can go check that out in the gm farcaster channel where we talked a little bit more about ethdenver it was so fun so thank you to ted erica and grace i see you down there grace it was really fun chatting with you we may have to do a few of those maybe once a month or something just to hang a little gm in the pm and just chat all the things because that was a lot of fun and that's it anything else adrienne before we sign off
