gm farcaster it is monday april 8th and you are here with downerskprof and adrienne for 21 minutes of farcaster news
to start your day 21 minutes of news and maybe a little you know 10 more minutes of other things i think that's how we're gonna post this from now on i think we're losing the 21 minute meme do we need to drop i'm trying do we need i'm trying
do we need to rebrand and drop our tagline
we might need to we might need a whole new tagline but we we are definitely gonna keep air always keep it under 30 but hopefully we can even tighten it up a little bit but good morning and happy monday adrianne how are you today
happy monday wonderful beautiful sunny spring day
so friday you had it like a fun thing that you were doing as part of nft nyc there was a big meetup farcaster meetup so tell us about that real quick before we dive in i saw no pictures by the way
well what happens at farcaster meetups fairly meetups until the professional recruiter
going trying to get a selfie with every single person i guess
is what happened oh it was a serendipity caro our friend organized the meetup and
we're looking at
we're getting no i think our stream is having issues
hold on audio is great for me okay good we're fine we're fine we had a little note in chat that they couldn't get audio but they hear us okay so they hear us we're fine we're also testing this out on youtube at the same time so we didn't know what was gonna go possibly wrong so back to caro back to meetup it was fun sorry
yeah big announcement on our stream today we'll have to we'll get to that later okay so yes no we're that we're trying to stream on youtube today right now we try out new tech stack stuff
yeah hugely announcement and why didn't you tell me who are decentralized going full time even just us 2 are very decentralized
that's so funny so it was fun that you met lots of new folks and including the background that you're sporting right now
yes my
go ahead there it is on the screen
so calum wanderlootz is a what's the techno astrophotographer so he takes pictures he's like wonderful work of pictures of moons and eclipses so he's getting ready to travel and get the amazing total solar eclipse today but he's relatively new in forecaster i just saw him post he flipped his followers in 2 months but he writes some paragraph very thoughtful person i've enjoyed getting to know him and i met him in person on friday night so definitely check him out and his work
and definitely check i guess follow him today because he'll probably be the best place on farcaster to get some cool pics of the of the eclipse
if he's yeah
especially for those of us who aren't up in that way
and the meetup was awesome so many people it was like a eat denver reunion slash farcon preview like i would kept joking like about everybody who was there i was asking if they're going to farcon and it just seemed like yes so super excited to continue the url to irl pipeline
i am so excited i can't wait for farcon but before we go to farcon we have other things to talk about so cast actions are here so remember friday we'd say cast actions were launching we didn't exact i didn't exactly know what that means i'm not gonna speak for adrienne she might have known exactly what that meant but i was like okay what does that mean and now they're here and now we can talk about them and you'll see this little button in the bottom right corner that then will pop up some different actions if you have installed them so this little thing right here if you've installed actions you can click on it and it will show you the actions that you have installed so i installed a few and one of the ones i installed was 'bot or not' and this is one of my favorite ones so far and it will tell you if this person's a bot and v surprisingly not a bot so good to know the face mask not nope nope he's actually a person so so it'll tell you if they're a good caster it'll tell you if they think they they'll say they cast like a bot it won't say this is a bot because it's hard to confirm but it will tell you all those different things so i'll periodically check that one out and then we have by the way i did this one twice by accident inspire me gives you a little bit of inspiration never look back okay alright never tell you and it'll it'll change it up every single time so there's inspire savor every moment okay we get little fortune cookies essentially every time you click the inspire me so kind of fun and and who built that one i do have that somewhere down here
that's well look it up
yeah i got it i've got it here somewhere and now i forget i've got it i've got it further on in our in our chat but yes so there's lots of little fun things you could do now some actions are here developers can create action buttons which users can install action buttons appear under every cast in the user's feed warp cast nook and butterfly all support cast actions ht to a child deodad and horsefax.eth
dote and you can this is an example 84kdao yesterday by the way okay craziness so a little bit more from deodad friday update you can now add and use up to 5 actions at a time in warpcast have fun taking actions this weekend so this is very cool but you can't uninstall yet so once you install you can't uninstall but you can replace i haven't tried that yet so if you like i did install 1 twice because things were moving a little slow and i got impatient then you can replace it but you can't uninstall it yet but i'm sure like probably by this friday that'll all be figured out so just be patient it'll come so this is pretty cool and then forecaster actions are like chrome extensions for social networks i liked this thinking this helped me frame it in a way that i could understand so if that helps you to understand better what is happening that is happening here we also had a quick tutorial from base to help you make your first actions so this was from brian doyle go check that out we also had this from
powmad powmad introducing the freshest feature on the the cast generator it lets you effortlessly create your own reaction casts think likes thumbs up and lols all without writing a single line of code give it a try and share your thoughts on what we should add next i have not tried this yet did you happen to try this or see this i didn't see this one have you any cast actions yet yourself
no no oh yes there's a set sorry i thought you're asking the react cast reactions i have like 5 i filled out my 5 slots of cast actions for sure
i mean did you actually create any no you haven't like created your own no not yet no
why do you think i can do that
i don't know because it's because there's a frame so anyone can apparently right here i don't know we'll have to try it later maybe we need something that adds a little coffee cup i don't know we'll have to figure that out mhmm trailing 7 day dao taking at least 1 on protocol action now over 40k and up 27x since january 1st and if we hit the 100k you know what happens right at farcon this happens yes this happens so if we can get that dau over 100 k we will are going to see dan dancing in a lovely rather lovely outfit so i'm looking forward to that so let's try and make that happen people
does varun do we get does v dance as well i thought it was both but
you know that might have been dan talking for varun again so maybe varun was on a plane and i don't know what
time that's what that's what cofounders do that's what cofounders do
so it's possible thank you for sharing this adrian by the way farcaster talks about cast actions including a link to a directory of all available actions which i was actually looking for so this was super helpful and it doesn't have i think there's been a few that have come in since this but this has most of them so far upt thumbs tipping usdc and tn100
payflow send dgen via payflow a whole bunch of auto mod ones that could be really useful such as mute cooldown and bypass so bypasses the rules on auto mod which is could be interesting paperboy tip that's a tipping tool if you want to tip degen you set the amount or a percentage of your degen and then you can just click it it does send a notification i wasn't positive it was gonna do that but it does check fid gift warps tip on chain dgen stats dgen audit and pay bot tips so these are just a few there are a few more this was helpful from kagusha well actually from vmather actually something that wasn't clear to me about custom actions you need to install it first through a deep link for most of the actions the deep links are accessible via frames and then shout out to vmauther for the clear cta button in the frame so that yes you are clicking onto a link to install this first before it will work and the other thing i noticed is you may have to refresh so i did have to refresh to show the new one just refreshing the website if i was on on desktop worked but that's why i ended up installing twice because i didn't think it worked but it did i did ask for what were your favorite cast actions and did get a few that i've mentioned but also i'll show these as well this one is from say angel it is bought or not that is the one i just showed you it's pretty cool and it will tell you if somebody looks like a bot again you click bought or not and it'll pop up a little thing not a bot good caster and i'll show you one in a little bit and let's see if we can find some other ones i might i wonder if i can find a silly one that'll tell me all these people are good casters it's not gonna maybe maybe this one let's try this one just to see bot or not nope not a bot good caster all these people are are too good at casters for this i need i need somebody who's who looks very odd i don't think i'm gonna find 1 on this particular particular list but i did find a few and it was super helpful by the way because it did kind of allow me to go okay i'm gonna hide this cast this person fandom whatever because it was kind of giving me a confirmation and it might be wrong but it's giving me a little bit of a confirmation of what i was thinking so odd or not i'm just going through no i can't find any bad ones on this one but it will tell you i promise it will tell you oh let's give this one let me try this one maybe maybe
not a bot good caster you guys are all too good today at least the ones on this one probably no one's gonna reply to this frame and not who is a bot so i just they're gonna know
request suggestion
oh not a bot but mostly shills there you go that's the one i was looking for so it will tell you it'll say cats like a bot or it'll say mostly shills if it feels like it's only you know it's not adding a lot of value it's low effort replies try voradac i'm not gonna do it i'm not gonna do it oh adrienne what do you wanna say
well well i was gonna say the chat the chat suggested to to try borr dutch but i just went into just to try it out into my forecast her feed which is in my opinion has gotten inundated with you know everyone's quick to say bot but is it really bot versus so the first one i hit was not a bot but shiller is that what it was yes
yeah that's the one i was looking for i was trying to find one so i could show you yeah the but shills so it's like they're not a bot but they pretty much just keep asking for degen tips
it's like not a bot but mostly shills getting a lot of them so helpful it's helpful i like this
it's super helpful so this one so far has been my favorite and then we have this one from jtgi which was paperboy this was the install d gen tipping so this is the one that you can set up and have it be either percentage or a fixed amount but it will only do that fixed amount each time so keep that in mind once you set it and it will send an alert but it won't necessarily tell them why so you would have to like let them know but it will send an alert so helpful helpful to to quicken the tipping if you're in need of speed and then walk the walk this is interesting this one is from i cannot say that name would you would you would you would you would you would you would you would you okay we'll go with that this is really cool you can see within a channel if somebody owns the related asset except one thing to note is if if the asset hasn't been attached to the channel yet it's not going to work so i was trying it in gm farcaster at first and i was like oh it's not showing anything i wonder what it's pulling and it wasn't he hadn't set it up yet so if you're if you have a channel and you want to reflect a certain thing from that channel that you wanna see from people casting in there just reach out and he can get that set up so now if you do that in gm forecaster you get anyone who if they own an episode it will tell you yes or not so kinda cool so now we can we can see if you walk the walk in our channel and it might keep us from like banning you if you're if you're if if bot or not says you're a bot and you own one of our
are we letting yeah
bot to own bot to
own episodes are welcome sure
if you cast like a bot but you own an episode we might let it slide you know think that's fair i think that's fair so i thought that was pretty cool and then we've got bag bias i have not tested this out yet because i ran out of spots and i wasn't sure what was gonna happen if i did that if a caster is referencing a ticket or token in their cast check to see how much of the token that they own so if they mentioned mention d gen for example you can check to see how much they own which i think this is pretty cool what do you think of this one this is kinda neat you can check
there there's so much information that's not yeah
by the way i like love all the cast actions because it's like information you can get with a few clicks and now you can get it so much faster and exactly so i'm kind of obsessed with all of them i did actually didn't see this one however people have other wallets that aren't connected to farcaster like you don't get the whole picture you get one tiny slice good point so you could be biased one way or another and so this is almost like not enough information
not enough information i don't
mind you of like algebra from high school you know d not enough information to solve the problem
that would be my that would be my answer all the time yeah so not enough information to solve the problem is a great point but helpful to give you an idea if somebody is shilling a particular token or something if they're coming up as shit mostly shills and you're like hey what else do they what do they own here
and yeah and like let me just save you some trouble everyone is shilling okay if you're cast if if someone's casting about a coin they have it
they probably do
yep there's something
likely it's just a matter of how big is your bat bag and i did i really laughed because the example here is my friend ben so there you go ben you made it into the show today eugene is going to the moon
even though i don't have any even though i don't own any let's fact check that
let's fact check that oh i think he was actually fact checking himself i think that was oh that was the fact check
got it
i think he was fact checking himself but ben's underneath just and then we have this one from durpin this is the inspire me one that i just showed you mhmm i hope that this low effort action will at least make you smile or i'm still learning but i promise a more useful action is coming soon so i think this was created so we could test out how to create a cast action but it is kinda cute so this is the one that you click inspire me and it gives you like the little fortune cookie up top breathe let go things like that
and shout out like shout out durban i didn't see this i wanna install it but even though
it'll be in the show notes hey adrienne this cast will be in the show notes
why do i do i have to look those up where do i find the show notes and thank you jc sparks for giving us some feedback on the show notes as well and to we i don't we're getting some feedback to make the show notes more helpful okay anyway what i love about this about this cast is i'm still learning more to come but this you know it's like what we do is cast what you're learning and cast as you go and don't wait until you learned everything until things are perfect so like everything is a work in progress and to share things along the way so it just feels like such a good forecaster value totally
do the shitty version just consistently right yep welcome welcome to the show yeah we know about that we'll do it we're getting we're getting better though we're getting better improving this was from art lou okay so if you saw up thumbs that was just basically a way to thumb you know give a thumbs up on a cast this is farts and you know with that what you will so it's a fork of up thumbs called farts so if you wanna fart on a cast there you are i have not installed 1
like farts but this fart also we say stands for farcaster art so therefore it's high brow
sure we can pretend that by the way i loved this cast from you a new stat to measure myself for you have 0 up thumbs
but have i told you what my f i d is recently
just to make sure everybody knows just to make sure thumbs
by the way up thumbs i saw greg and d f at the meetup and
oh cool
anyway so greg has a bot that is up thumbing everything like so like his their own things and get giving himself and can do it multiple times
holy crap people are
bad he's cheating
he's cheating already we already have cast action cheaters like that was fast and impressive impressive how quickly you did that but also it's not a measure of your self worth just reminder and also this from angel on a similar on a similar note okay come on load some of y'all after checking bot or not on yourselves if you don't like what you see in the mirror it's not the cast actor's fault you are not a bot or a shill you are a good caster i thought that was hilarious alright
i'm gonna go off brand i'm going off brand for a second you probably are a bot or a shill if you're getting called out as 1 and maybe you need to do some self reflection and improve your casting
okay this is your this is your self help for the day improve your casting and it's your you know it's it is a if you are not a bot if you actually are not a bot and you don't think you're being chilly yeah take a look in the mirror just see just say for a second but it is it is pretty funny we are by the way streaming on youtube today to test out if we could do both at the same time as a backup option and for some folks who have some ish some trouble getting on to unlonely some time they're out and about and it's going right now but also go follow us on youtube because it's helpful we have a new milestone reached 100 youtube subscribers we're on chain 1st but subscribing to youtube helps with discovery seo approval value to sponsors and all that boring stuff p s i do love how mints are better than yt subscribers and hope it stays that way talking about farcaster memes and culture it ain't much but it's honest work yes this is what we do now almost full time few more weeks few more weeks this from jason airstack just hit 1,000,000 in trading volume through our swaps frame in less than a week and executed the our second dgen buyback click learn more in the frame to learn more details this was really cool i casted this i think that was like friday as well there's a swap frame be very careful with this mostly just meaning you'll be fine but you know you may end up swapping too easily because it's super easy to do and therefore you might end up with more of a meme coin than you intended so it's within the frame you can swap the the token that you want so and then you are earning some essentially some points with air stack as well so take a look at that it does make it really easy to swap and i did test it out with dgen and another coin just to see how it worked and it worked pretty well but almost too good it was too smooth i need more friction to stop me from doing stupid things i need i like friction in my in my meme pointing yeah not a token
you're not a token
we're
gonna have the best when i was your age stories in a decade from now
living in the gold sure
grandma sure grandma you used to have to connect to wallet to do stuff yeah like what's that what's a wallet grandma we don't know even know what that is but this was very very cool and it's very smooth so go check that out this from linda i love this trying something out an area i'm weakest in is design anyone wanna do a 30 minute call next week for a skill swap i can help brainstorm go to market distribution and or fundraising if you give if you help give feedback on improving bounty caster product design benefit is meeting another founder and helping each other out i love this i wish i was a designer just for this moment for many reasons
i feel like linda would take a call linda will take a meeting with you and chat for
i know i know but i just feel like i no
i have no no expectation of anything
i know i feel like i have nothing to offer though it just feels better when you have like a little something a little something to offer for the call but i did i did love this i thought that was a a great use of the founders channel as well to get founders to connect here's what i need help me with this i'll help you with with my my skill set which i think is pretty amazing
this was really neat too i wanted to hear what you thought about this and we are gonna wrap it very shortly i'm in 3 hypersubs and each has a gc group chat with a distinct vibe club ted is a dinner party or beach hang laid back with longer form conversations terminally on chain by y b feels like crypto product hunt with friends and proxy studio chat is fc wallstreetbets nonstop chat with so much alpha best part of farcaster for me hands down have you felt different vibes in different group chats that was my question to you
yeah totally
what do you think ours is
and or actually
let me ask the chat what do you think how would you describe the the we have a couple of group chats so if you're in either one of those the wow wow or the chat for our our chatters what do you think
even when you have group chats with the kind of the same overlapping people the reason what brings you together like there's subtle differences i actually asked the chat professor you might have missed it i asked the chat chat what our vibe was in the chat and people answered and then i forgot thank you everyone answered and i forgot to go back pretty sure people just said immaculate it was just immaculate
vibes well thank you i appreciate that immaculate vibes it is then i thought that was really cool that that thinking to to me was kinda fun yeah so i like that we've got a couple more quick things and then we will call it a monday and we do have something to announce and make sure everybody's aware of but two more things the goat lore yeah so apparently we're taking goat lore even higher we will be taking a goat this is from aleph by the way and a dgen flag i don't know where you got the flag to the highest point in kenya africa the peak of mount kilimanjaro okay 19,000 foot peak 7 day trip this is literally the godest idea i've ever had might be a world record i i now am like doubting is he even there like this went like a little
bit crazy over the
top now so now i'm like wait what
i think what we need to do is put a cast out and if we get 500 likes on a cast we're sending one of us to go check up on aleph and see if he's actually there because
i can't go i don't have time for that but if you wanna go to kenya check out aleph
alright if i double my follower count in the next 48 hours i'm getting a plane ticket
alright well there you go that's a lot it's a lot of followers needed because your your count's pretty high this might be easier for somebody with a lower count but that's why i had that
that's why i like that
threw me off and i was really following along and now i'm like i don't know about that i don't know about that that seems a little sus but okay we'll wait and see we'll find out soon
we'll definitely get him on as a guest if he actually goes we'll get him on as a guest to to tell us all about it
with the goat with the goat we'd like you to stream in with the goat
