GM Farcaster ep74, March 13, 2024

It’s pretty incredible how good people are at sniffing out resource scarcity and “status” markers People absolutely speedrunning the: “whoa Farcaster is pretty cool” ⬇️ “wait why don’t I have an active badge” ⬇️ “kill Dan and everyone he puts on the auto-follow list” cycle rn

kinda funny to me how people on X are dancing on the supposed FC grave already. things are just getting started over here. couldnt be more bullish.

I am farcaster depressed. It just feels tiring here sometimes. Like degeny, tried to claim the farcon ticket but didn’t recognize my wallet, so many channel rules, so many web2 email collections when my God so unnecessary, dunno. Farcaster depression is a thing. This too shall pass.

We just kicked off a project to revamp feed quality that @cmlad.eth and @akshaan are leading Problem today: most active users a) follow a lot of people and channels and b) rarely unfollow them.

new demo live! COPY TRANSACTION FRAME 👯 i used a transaction frame to gift @cdt some farcaster storage in this transaction. think it's a nice idea and want to copy the transaction yourself? just press the "copy" button. https://www.onceupon.gg/0x0222cb1a3973dcc00f1d70cd346736d4b89597160b08fa8322fdd45742968110

Reflecting on /ethdenver 2024's end, grateful for the vibes and momentum. From the buzz of building at the BUIDL Hub to launching our Farcaster project Swooop, we were busy hacking and connecting. Dive into the full run-down 🔗⤵️ https://bit.ly/48OFp8d

Our top priority this week is fixing spam in popular channels. The core problem is: - Channels with large distribution attract casters - Some casters post spam or even just slightly off topic stuff - Moderating it is exhausting and thankless We want to find a solution that can be decentralized across clients.

If you are a dev that wants to build at the intersection of community and farcaster, here's your chance. get paid $100k to build a farcaster client for a /nouns:
