3:42Speaker 1

who is this toofy who is this toofy character

3:46Speaker 0

who is this toofy character i have no idea some some guy some guy but he's in our chat so let's get into it we have lots happening so this is our first thing was the amazing piece by renee campbell first free open edition ever and her first one on zora and bass so this is a it's got a little provenance to it so go pick it up or win it in the chat today moving on and in the background for adrienne today is still the iguana who's just fabulous and honestly these two backgrounds just look amazing together so working perfectly overnight because i don't know they were bored on a sunday is what i'm guessing

4:31Speaker 1

it wasn't it wasn't friday

4:33Speaker 0

it wasn't friday it was sunday night what are

4:35Speaker 1

you doing guys

4:36Speaker 0

i'm like what is this but okay we have 2 new settings for channel hosts manage feeds ability to turn off the trending feed for your channel and manage channel passes ability to turn on a channel pass and change the price you'll need to have channel norms set so make sure if you're a channel host you fill that in available on web not mobile by clicking the pencil icon on your channel page so this is some big news we get some big things going on so here's your little manage channel pass enable channel pass and change the price in warps by the way that is warps at the moment we'll see that might change a few other notes on this a reminder a channel is a curated space with a host you don't have a right to cast in a channel you're always free to cast to your followers outside of a channel and you can create your own channel dan always likes to say those things and you can also go create your own client too it's like what dan's doing that seems like a good opportunity for a client so another note on here that he that he mentioned there will likely be a bunch of complaints this week about too much financial financialization of farcaster with regards to the channel passes 1 it's still an experiment why they and that's why they aren't decentralized you're free to create a channel without a pass make it free which jam farcaster for it i can't imagine we'll ever turn a channel pass on but definitely not anytime soon and we will have a way to gift passes to people for free so did wanna mention a couple more things on this note channel passes are off chain warps only goes to the first host which is interesting rough plan longer term so in other words i'm i'm the decider sorry adrian okay

6:39Speaker 0

so you know it's staying free because if it was adrian then maybe it would be she might turn the fee on no no

6:47Speaker 1

no not for the forecaster

6:50Speaker 0

i'm kidding i'm kidding rough plan longer term on chain pay with crypto by the way chain is one word dan just just a note pay with with a hyphen

7:00Speaker 1

i think with a hyphen

7:01Speaker 0

with a hyphen no hyphen no hyphen no space channels will decide where pass funds go alright so this is big news and i do wanna mention this from jesse the first the first one kind of mentioning this psa we're going to start experimenting with channel passes in base this week we'll be rolling it out on a thoughtful way but given the scale we're operating at we need to keep experimenting to ensure quality remains high please share any and all feedback as as you have it so please if you are a regular contributor to bass jump in there and share your notes with jesse before they turn that on thoughts adrianne before we move on to anything else this is a big this is big this is big news they've been experimenting with this this was rolled out to a few i think maybe like 20 different channels or something very small group who experimented with it we're you and i are both in a chat with dan and other channel hosts early hosts of channels and they did say hey if anybody wants to experiment with this you know put a hand up and it was only you know the 100 warps you couldn't change it so basically a dollar to just to to kinda manage that and a few big channels like memes for example was experimenting with that which by the way i found out by accident when i went to post a meme like yesterday and i was like oh that's right i need to put a pass to this i don't know what to do and i was like i don't think i wanna put a pass i don't wanna get a pass right now

8:33Speaker 1

have you ever casted in a any channel and gotten the warning like a warning a message that says your cast went against norms

8:42Speaker 0

no not yet okay not yet i might have to try that yeah have you have you

8:51Speaker 1

i haven't but i've worn i've warned people who have casted in farcast her off topic and and things and when people cast kind of like obvious spam and kind of we get a lot of degen farming and right and i'll immediately warn and hide and usually people know don't respond but i have warned and hidden people for casting what i think should just be in their home feed like it doesn't if if everybody treats farcast her like their home feed and it's just hey i'm a woman i'm on farcaster it it'll quickly just become a 0 0 signal channel it's just so it it requires a lot more curation so i did warn and hide someone who who someone took it very personally because it's like wait what because it feels like you're getting scolded no one wants to be scolded

9:43Speaker 0

yeah

9:45Speaker 1

and i don't like that you know it's like that's not the intent but i like when dan keeps reminding the like you don't have a right to cast in a channel right which is very different than yes anyone can use a hashtag yes and if you think of kind of channels as as categories and hashtags anyone can use can cast can use a hashtag which is one of the reasons i think dan hates hashtags so much as they are so quickly devolve into

10:11Speaker 0

i don't really think of it like hashtags so i think of it more like subreddits which you don't have a right to cast in every subreddit that's right you know what i mean so that those are more controlled and curated and to me that's what channels feels more like they totally are yeah yeah i think that's definitely more the way right and so it'll be interesting to see these experiments happening and also it'll be interesting for me personally to be like am i gonna pay for that am i not gonna pay for that i'm not sure oh my god and i

10:43Speaker 1

don't love the idea i mean from the financialization i don't love the i'm paying money to do something because it's i would so much rather it be based on reputation and proof of work it's i have a reputation i have kind of the quality badge and i've kind of earned my right to be but that's a lot harder

11:03Speaker 0

to do what the gifting will do right so that it can you can do some of that so for example i could totally see base gifting to those who are regular great contributors to that channel not making them pay for it but then creating a little bit of a a friction for those who might be inclined to spam so by adding you know something you have to pay for so i'm i'm gonna guess that's what jesse's gonna do jesse you know if you're watching just my suggestion i might go put it in base before you turn that on but i think i would guess that would be the direction for a lot of these channels that have been around for a while you know who want to encourage those who do contribute well who do contribute really good stuff and sort of discourage those who are just there to to spam in some way so yeah it'll be interesting to see

11:56Speaker 1

and there's a good point in the chat about like if you make the if you can make the entry the channel pass such a small amount where it's not prohibitive but it adds enough friction it means you need to have either been gifted warps or bought warps you know enough about farcaster to kind of navigate so you're not it's like it's almost just enough friction to

12:17Speaker 0

right just enough not too much but just enough to like make people pause for a second honestly that's what happened to me in in memes it was like do i really i mean maybe it's not something i have to put in here right now i can't even remember what it was honestly i can't even remember what it was but it was one of those moments i was like i don't know maybe i maybe i don't and it wasn't the how much it was because it's literally a dollar and i have plenty of warps but it was like oh i'm gonna think about this for a second you know maybe i don't need to do that so it was it was you know it's definitely i think gonna be a useful experiment for sure we do have a few more things to chat about we've gone through almost nothing but that's okay but that was the big thing for today for sure one other note from here from baroon stout is leading a 2 week push to make the mobile app buttery smooth what are your biggest annoyances with slowness jerkiness when using the app so if you have some do you have any off top of your head i haven't thought about this too much yet

13:19Speaker 1

no i my mobile app is buttery smooth so i yeah that you stopped yeah that's fantastic so if anyone i'm gonna kind of if anyone wants to work on the desktop on the web app hit me up i've got lots of things to say so

13:35Speaker 0

she has i don't

13:36Speaker 1

know if i'm the only

13:36Speaker 0

one getting this from adrian adrian might have opinions

13:39Speaker 1

complaints they're actually complaints i have complaints

13:42Speaker 0

well you know what to do with those i mean those go in the memes channel i mean hello that's actually

13:47Speaker 1

a good point i'm not a good meme maker

13:49Speaker 0

oh i mean i know it takes a little bit of work i do wanna mention this from july and you and i talked about this a little bit demands our our chat today is cracking me up even though i can't log in so doofy if you are in the vip i can't see you except unless you shoot things up like that this from july if you had a comment about this so about july being the antidote of go ahead and say that because

14:16Speaker 1

so do we wanna do we wanna read what he says

14:18Speaker 0

no i'm not here to say that first so that i can read it while people think about that

14:22Speaker 1

so so by the way there's a channel called july it is for the caster known as july i don't know if i know anyone with a more pristine reputation on farcaster than the i think that's fair it's just so july we love you i when i when i saw this cast and i read it my i just said this is such the antidote to degen culture on varcaster because i was going through this weekend and we've not yet talked about the price of degen nor do i

14:50Speaker 0

want to we'll briefly we'll briefly mention it

14:53Speaker 1

we really wanna

14:54Speaker 0

we have to

14:55Speaker 1

but my entire feed is nothing but bryce talk on dgen and

15:01Speaker 1

thank you july

15:02Speaker 0

thank you july so this is from july if you live indefinitely you'll eventually reach the heat death of the universe in order to live beyond that we will have to transgress the known existing universe perhaps that will happen between now and the end of all of this all 2 friendships last a lifetime 3 the act of creation lasts forever in that moment and like just go read this and give it some thought but i you know had a great chat with july a couple weeks ago and i'm looking forward to him coming on sometime in april we don't have the date set yet to co host with us and chat and he's just yeah brilliant brilliant man so comments about this

15:45Speaker 1

absolutely before you move off topic before we move on just fun fact you guys know me as the fox i have the orange fox on farcaster and cameron has a blue fox cameron's fox's name is heat death

16:00Speaker 0

oh i did not know that

16:01Speaker 1

mine is hannibal by the way totally irrelevant i knew that but his is heat death and the reason he chose it he said it was just always a good reminder that heat death is coming for us all like that there's an you know there's an

16:13Speaker 0

end to it all keeps him

16:14Speaker 1

humble keeps him humble so that heat death interesting might yes and number 3 when he is the act of creation sex

16:23Speaker 0

i was thinking the act of creation lasts forever in that moment i was thinking it was more about like creating things

16:28Speaker 1

oh just like art fuck

16:30Speaker 0

yeah yeah i mean i didn't go there adrienne i don't know i don't know where your

16:33Speaker 1

life was oh okay let's move on

16:35Speaker 0

you're thinking actual people creating people

16:39Speaker 1

well he's talking about like more yeah wow

16:41Speaker 0

i don't know i hadn't thought about that i was thinking more creation of anything really because it could yeah it's you know if you create something you can obviously many many creators artists etcetera have created things that have outlasted them you know and for some for centuries so that you know beyond there moment right in that moment i know that's we get it i know there's a lot to unpack there i mean this is like okay we're gonna we're gonna put a pin in that and then when he comes back when he comes on we're gonna talk about it

17:11Speaker 1

yeah and this actually goes to my in my first year of farcaster before you know the masses descended and it was a quiet cozy place and we talked about seniors and it was like well what are what does everybody have in common and it was i always went down to because not everyone's a developer not everyone's a founder but everyone was a builder like everyone was making something or had that kind of positive some creator mindset exactly

17:34Speaker 0

yeah that so that's how i took it but you know these are good questions for july this is a good question for july for sure but you know and then i dove into he was reading something and i went in i went down a whole big rabbit hole of something that i haven't thought about in a long time he was reading so we got into this whole thing of the you know the message is the medium or the medium is the message the medium is the message that's a whole other thing that i can't even dive into right now because we would end up talking about this for an hour so

18:02Speaker 1

show about that

18:03Speaker 0

yes we can

18:04Speaker 1

like one show

18:05Speaker 0

by the way we need 4 different different different shows additional shows so we'll talk about later because before the one okay so yes yes we can

18:16Speaker 1

so the name is a message it's i know it sounds like you studied it in college it's something moment of zen just put out a like a repeat episode of an interview with antonio from like 2019 this is like before before moment of is that like whatever but it's a and i'm pretty sure he was just talking about medium is the message on that oh i'm

18:37Speaker 0

gonna have to go

18:38Speaker 1

listen to that

18:39Speaker 0

it's coming up yeah

18:40Speaker 1

because i

18:40Speaker 0

it really got me thinking but that's a whole other thing to unpack that would be good for unpacking with professor there we go that's gonna be our first episode there we go let's do it alright that's a whole other thing okay there's a few more things we need to get through we did start with smidgillate so we do have a couple minutes chris corella purple is based our first proposal on base governor contracts to resume the daily auction voting begins at 24 hours this was 3 days ago so get in there if you are purple and vote which i have not done yet and we saw a whole bunch of of commemorative drops for this move to base including this poap so if you are a purple member of the dao please go grab your poap here from sandy ford it is a bb so purple has migrated to base and as has builderdao so more coming about that in the builder channel for those who you are builders i do wanna shout out oops maybe i don't okay we're gonna do this today are we okay my picks for the nouns firecaster prop house round i did a write up about this there's a lot of friends who some of who are in the chat who applied and i just wanted to applaud them go take a look at those even if you are not announced even if you are you know i think you'll find it really interesting if you are a farcaster og or a builder on farcaster to see what some of these teams are coming up with because i think a lot of what they're building will be able to be applied to other communities as clients so go take a peek at that eth global had a hackathon and it looked like it went amazing by the way this is what's been happening to me all morning this little reload so to your point about stuff

20:27Speaker 1

is that because is that because i complained about the

20:29Speaker 0

i think so about thank you it's actually it was it was working fine until you complained no i'm just kidding so we have

20:35Speaker 1

that's good i'm gonna take a little snap

20:36Speaker 0

i'm gonna take

20:36Speaker 1

a little video of that and it'll be in the memes channel

20:41Speaker 0

here we go with our 10 frameworks finalists go take a look at these finalists from the eth global hackathon and saw some fabulous notes from david furlong and ted about the number of this is from df the number of new devs and experience building on farcaster frames just increased by a couple 100 many eth global participants new to farcaster with many having their first week here so that is amazing ted also mentioned had an absolute blast judging eth global frameworks with rish congratulations to all the participants both inspired and impressed by what you've built in in a short time frame and can't wait to collab with some of you to get your frames to market so this is exciting our friend humpty oops i lost it our friend humpty was one of the participants he he had mentioned all the different

21:31Speaker 0

different you know incorporations of all different kinds of things and for some reason it disappeared on me but this was from polluter of minds from pinata there were 75 submissions in the eth global frameworks hackathon that used pinata really create abuses too bullish on the future of farcaster development and a shout out to our friends at pinata who are our premier sponsors today they are on a retreat and they brought the pinis pinis we're not sure the little the fun little pinatas here no treat no surrender that's the pinata law definitely 300 i i need to get my hands on one of these like i please i need one please can you bring one to farcast to farcon please please please i need one and i do have to mention you're
