gm and let's talk about our backgrounds real quick i am sporting the new one it's the new from rob rob sanchez the farcaster aristocracy has fallen giving rise to the farcaster degeneracy mintable is a free commemorative nft for 1 week and i noticed there are 2 people in both the farcaster aristocracy and the degeneracy did you notice no

who do you think any ideas any guesses any guesses

what is one of our our favorite artists a little bit of oxen

yeah oxen made it in there and thinking about the the ogs who's who's got a little bit of degeneracy in them who likes to do a little i don't know betting shall we say cassie no ace ace from pearl so ace made it in both and oxen made it in both and those are the only 2 i believe and if i'm wrong please correct me in the chat but i did see both of them in both and i thought that was fun

i do i do know who's not in either

hi good to meet you

that's a really good idea i think i think we should i think we should that's interesting yeah a little gm forecaster aristocracy ferrisdocracy there we go we may have to do that not sure my editing skills are onto it but maybe maybe maybe

it's true it's true she's killing it with the editing moving on let's talk about your background we've got this from samuel hoover which is farcaster is confusing for if farcaster is confusing for you as a dev i drew an architecture diagram mapped out the whole infra in farcaster including transaction frames image attached plus link to web page for you to look at it in big so this is really cool and this is your background today why'd you choose that what what was the what was the inspiration there

i learn something there every day about you like that was

about lynx wants to know about blueprints do you feel the same about blueprints of that kind of architecture or is it strictly strictly

this is hilarious yeah that's amazing love it i love it

it is it's very cool looking it's super helpful i think that's super helpful for especially for new devs who are trying to figure out just like we should probably do something similar for the culture

i don't know little coffee cup just in the corner like hanging out

i was not expecting that but i and i was really surprised when that was your background i'm like okay that was not my expectation today but amazing love it and it's fantastic we also

love it and i loved this from from kagusha actual footage from the musee d'orsey the farcaster degeneracy on display lovely maybe someday for real that would be hilarious moving on i have to show this but you won't hear it because i don't think we got it figured out but go back and look look at cassie's going back to why did he leave here but you're probably not gonna hear it because i haven't figured out i forgot that i didn't figure that out but she did this video

of the the the tweet the other day and then read this whole thing where it ends like this

and it was brilliant so cassie like cassie got all the rest of my degen that day my degen tip i was just like

fantastic bravo fantastic go take a look at it it'll be in our show notes it was just perfect

it was 2 days ago i know was it 700 years ago yes yes yeah in farcaster time yes it was

exactly so we're just gonna do a quick little recap in case you forgot so autism capital over on twitter complained about vitalik leaving leaving twitter he didn't leave we ended up actually doing a whole bonus episode so if you missed that go watch that because we we talked all about this and then elon had responded why did he leave and then you know the meetings began but i did like this from some i can tell you why i left farcaster equals positive vibes startup energy on chain future of social media endless rewards and why not and that pretty much sums it up for me right there like yes and then also bottom line the people right the people once you get here and you start to really connect this is a social network we've told you this before it is not social media twitter is social media barcaster is a social network treat it as such and then you'll have a much you'll have a fabulous experience and we're happy you're here and then we had a couple other notes on this fun we have oops oh we're gonna do this again today okay these some more memes that happened i loved this one why did he leave i feel bad for you i don't think about you at all because i don't think vatalic has responded to any of that at all which good for you and then this which was also really funny why did you leave politics propaganda everyone is angry be honest i am being honest what did you get for casting d jen thank you

it but it was accurate also accurate sometimes for some folks and then robin this was lovely gm to our new friends from x for the uninitiated here's the farcaster og chart i'm also shame shamefully plugging my new channel follow robin for further unserious content and here was my comment to this it was the this is the lawful good chaotic evil chart kind of thing for those who are not looking at it and in the middle with neutral evil is nonlinear and i'm like how is nonlinear neutral anything

look i don't think so

i don't know but i'm just like neutral

well okay i don't know i mean in a you know i mean based on the the video we just showed i don't know maybe not maybe maybe not i wouldn't call her evil but you know i have a whole issue with this whole entire kind of chart thing like the good and evil i know it means other things but i did think it was it was pretty funny and it just was like nonlinear neutral no never never neutral

i know v in the center was that was perfect dan was perfect there were certain people who were in a perfect spot jesse was in a great spot like some of them were absolute perfection

i love robin and i love what he's been doing and i'm i gotta jump in did i i think

i don't miss anything a couple notes here psa from farcon if you received an email regarding your farcon pass approval you must claim your pass by the end of this week march 29th otherwise we will reclaim your pass and release it to the long wait list if you have any questions about passes please drop them below so if you have not claimed your pass yet please go make sure you do that you would you would have gotten an email from farcon and make sure that you you jump on there alright moving on we've got a few other little notes by the way have you noticed that dan hasn't casted in 24 hours he's back yeah he was is he back this morning okay good i was getting nervous he has been replying but he hadn't casted and i was like i don't think that's the longest he's ever gone without casting

i did go and check i do as well but i did go and check because i'm like where's dan where's i haven't seen because i was prepping for the show so i always have a lot of stuff from dan and i had in case

okay from jason rosenthal jason r today we're announcing the 25 promising startups in our crypto startup accelerator spring 2024 cohort which kicks off this week in london more info on each company in my blog post you can read about it there but the big thing was we did see nayanar so rish and is it manam i'm trying to make sure i'm saying that right and we also saw launchcaster or launch from jamie so that was exciting to see some farcaster friends in the mix yay yay yay congrats

please do yeah let us know what you're doing keep us updated we need to know we need to know the tea we need to know what's happening this one more note from eth global from the hack the frameworks hackathon which was last weekend this is from henry stern of privy the eth global frameworks hackathon was incredible the unparalleled energy across broadcaster was in full display with 100 of teams hacking on frames throughout the weekend big congrats to the 16 award winners built on privy and the hundreds of builders who shipped and some of the favorites are below so go through and take a look at that cast there was a whole bunch of really cool things that are now incorporating privy and frames so very cool to see and love seeing all that builder energy from this hackathon this past weekend can't wait for the far hack too i think that's gonna be fun and we're gonna be there reporting live meanwhile in dgen tipping news the dgen tipping button is live on supercast simply start replying to someone and decide what portion of your daily allowance you want to tip extremely useful if you want to remember to donate a 100% of your allowance to an important cause c c ted thanks jacek for creating a wonderful community and this is for that was from woj and then he also said for what it's worth supercast did not receive a dgen grant and is not asking for any this is a pure permissionless unincentivized integration integration dgen community is awesome and in my opinion grew far faster more than anything else maybe frames too i'm excited for the ride together and waiting for feedback on how supercast can support d gen more so i thought that was really cool and that sort of spoke to me with the whole permissionlessness we love we love ourselves in permissionlessness you know since we as well permissionlessly decided

so we love the permissionlessness and then also i meant to mention this the other day from wake if you have no idea what is you don't know how to tip you have no idea what's going on this is a great tipping guide go check it out and it actually looks really good this one not all of them look good in a frame in the inline this one does so you can take a look at it right in line in that frame

and as well and and and

if you use the bot you will yes

use the bot there's a couple different ways to do it and one of them is the bot but i think the bot might have been broken something was not working exactly accurately yesterday because i wasn't getting my tips my tip allocation wasn't getting updated so i was like i don't know if i have any left but if i do here you go

a little there's actually a little cool frame that i had bookmarked that tells you how much is left and that had been working really well and then it didn't seem like it was updating so i went and checked on the website and i don't think it was updating yesterday so if you're having issues there there might have been an issue not quite sure and love this from cyber shock cyber shock d this meme was really funny a little barbie meme me when daily d gen allocation starts me after tipping daily we've got weird barbie in there which felt very accurate to me and speaking of d gen i i mentioned i was gonna chat about this today because i got called out by alex amato at amato life comes at you fast featuring naneesh prath should this have been posted it means you tell me and essentially it is i paid 90,000 in dgen for 6 boxes of girl scout cookies which was about at the time $40 and i bought that many purposefully because if you recall the bitcoin pizza day is celebrated each year on may 22nd and what that is is a celebration of the fact that laszlo had bought had done the first transaction of bitcoin commercially by buying 2 papa john's pizzas with bitcoin and he spent 10,000 bitcoin on 2 pizzas which at that time was about $40 so at this moment when i did this i said this is gonna be the new bitcoin 2 pizza day and here we are here we are these are my $1500 cookies and i

lot of reactions when one is eating 90,000 degen worth of thin mints one simply must bring out the good china isn't it true to you ladies and gentlemen so i did put my my thin mints on my fine china and now i believe i have one box left so yesterday i was googling best way to freeze thin mints and it was suggested i put them in the freezer similar to a wedding cake and we'll break them out a year from now and i did set a reminder for all of this as well so

very expensive cookies and worth every bite totally worth it worth it for the meme worth it worth it i knew it was happening i knew this was gonna happen and here you are here we are 2 months later

cookie day

no not at all not at all

to yet i may have a way to get it now but working on that working on that but if not we've already you know i've already chatted with jacek about this speaking of jacek by the way should we yeah let's talk about that alpha little alpha we're gonna have jacek on april 9th i believe it is special episode to give us some updates on all dgen he was with us back in january not long after dgen launched and we had a great interview with him you can find that in the in the archives way back 2 months ago something like that and i think it's episode

52 i think it's 52 we'll post it later and it's a great episode and a great great chat and we're looking forward to an update in a couple weeks so this is exciting after you get back from your your vacay moving on this was a cool thing to see from base video creators we're calling on you to help bring the world on chain videos that showcase the potential of base or your favorite apps on base are eligible for a base builder grant of up to 0.1 eth post them on x instagram tiktok or dracula and link them in the reply subject to base grant t and c's terms and conditions and you had a great suggestion gm farcaster is built on base video creators if you want to apply for this grant and are looking for some inspiration feel free to remix or use any of our videos with attribution because gm farcaster is cc by meaning you can use and remix it all you want just give us a little link back and have at it we'd love to see that maybe permissionless permissionless go

we'd love it we'd love to see

we do i would

it's true i'm working on that but we're basically like yeah we're gonna we're gonna we're we're i've already been chatting to a couple of people about some junior editors and i believe you we may be hiring some interns

intern 1 and 2 yeah intern 2 i keep thinking like thing 1 and thing 2 intern 1 and 2

i think this will be amazing it'll be amazing i i think we'll get way better content in terms of like our dracula content than we will if i keep doing it although i did get one posted today so there you go also from jesse on base tldr of higher fees on base i did notice this when i air dropped the other day on monday i was like this seems higher than usual and it turns out it wasn't just me we shipped 4844 which is the new e eip that went with the latest ethereum upgrade and reduced l one d a cost to 0 lower fees induced greater than 5 x more demand our gas target is relatively low so blocks are above target fees are rising so they're working on it they're doing a whole bunch of stuff here to address that so hopefully we'll see very soon a reduction in the fees needed to do stuff on base so but i did notice that the other day and i was like what's going on here and then jesse answered the question so appreciate that few more things before we wrap this was gm focaster a 5 pound brisket here and hopefully this will play and jason is trying to show so we'll bring him on and my thought was i think we might need like a top chef style cooking show this is what i'm thinking like i would watch pasta all the time like but like i and it seems weird because like oh we're not gonna taste it how are you gonna know but you can usually tell maybe we have i don't know we can have

so and well well well well yeah we're we're gonna think this through so maybe maybe after farfon with cookies with some $1500 cookies for dessert perfect so maybe after far con we'll when we're expanding we'll we'll get there i love this we've

it's not even like i have said this a 1000000 times for a couple years now i have more ideas than time or money can put them into place so but however i'm gonna have a little more time after farcon so you're gonna see a little bit more of these ideas coming into play but we're getting there we're getting there a few more quick things this is a great question from netra can you explain any benefits we might get from minting episodes of course if it is our absolute favorite and a key moment in the timeline i understand why we would collect it apologies if i missed this somewhere i thought this was a great question and you went into like why does anyone mint anything and it's a great question for me like i like to collect things not everybody does like not everybody's a collector and that's totally normal

but why

so we are building in we are building in some utility for the mints and for example when we had our event at december that's how we tokenated it was anyone who's minted the episode moving forward we also have our hyper sub so there'll be but there will still be some benefits to having our episodes down the line but also mint it if you like it like that's the only thing i can say you know mint it if you like it mint it if you like to collect things we might be you know we may not right now everything's open to mint that may not be the case forever is all i'll say essentially there may be some that become a little more rare who knows you know there's really no way to tell what's gonna happen in the future don't speculate but right now they're you know it's a free mint it's open if you like it they tell

yeah yeah it's really like this i really like this so much i wanna make sure i own it forever you know that's the bottom line yeah exactly it's the new likes

and we love you very much

yeah absolutely just we love

we just love you if you watch we love you a few minutes we love you all the time one more thing from kristen can you explain why you and nana shah offer based

yes

all other stuff

great point that's a whole that has a whole bunch of other benefits that is unrelated to just minting an individual episode can you please explain why you and anishprop prefer base over zuora network to me again i'm still confused about pros and cons and for me it was we use zuora as our platform we chose base chain due to the amazing team to be honest super supportive of creator builders jesse pollock i mean that's really what it comes down to it's just smith's cheerleader it's also part of the super chain as is zuora so either one is great and there's a lot of base eth in circulation too so it may be more likely to be minted when people just have it already in their wallet but zuora is also a great option we don't wanna take away from that but i liked your answer better which was

because base because base was your answer because base

was her answer

yeah and that and we can see that they're getting the most traction right now on the super chain one last thing and then there's one one last announcement but this was from you where do you get your gm farcaster we wanna know so comment below we didn't get a poll up but i loved your little i thought this was gonna be your background today by the way i was totally that's but no architecture 1 but i loved this where where do you get your tea where do you get your gm farcaster tea go tell us and also in there if you only listen on audio i'd love to know and just because it's it's i'm always curious about that and i'm trying to make sure that we're conscious of our audio only listeners we are running a little over but i do have to say tomorrow we are having our 1st virtual meetup for our wow wow and molly molly subscribers on our hyper sub so you can rsvp to that the link is in the

hyper sub page you will see it under the drops or we posted it yesterday as well i believe i posted it in the wow wow chat and some of the other places so you can rsvp to that or we'll also drop the link in the wow wow chat tomorrow if you are one of our regular chatters you are also invited and we have dropped that link in our our little group chat for you all because we want you there as well so special guests you're the special guest that you attend as well and it's gonna be just a little fun chat with us and we're gonna reveal our you're gonna get a sneak peek the first reveal of our very first drop here for the art drop from max jackson it is really fun you're gonna love it and then it's gonna be airdropped to all our wow wow subscribers and then our mole subscribers will have will be on the allow list to mint along with a couple other folks like our premier partners anyone that they designated will be allow listed as well to mint so that's it for me i think i hit everything i don't know that was a lot it's only been 2 days and i feel like i could there's there's a ton of links i didn't get to by the way that will be in our show notes so there always is so if you are watching this and you wanna see what else we didn't get to just check out the show notes which if you meant it they'll be they'll be with you forever but also they're on they're on all our socials as well so anything else adrienne i kinda like blew through all of that because it was a lot

yeah we'll pull some of those in and that's what i did the other day too thanks to the chat we love you we love you and that is it for us we will see you tomorrow and bye bye bye bye
