GM Farcaster ep87, April 10, 2024

sketched out top 3 goals for Airstack this week, and one is: “1m DAU on Farcaster” wait. What?? 1. Why does Airstack have a Farcaster goal? A: If Farcaster wins we win. 2. How can Airstack manage to this goal? B: By building products that help drive Farcaster growth and by helping devs do the same

There needs to be balance. The reason FC was special was the lack of those 3 things here. Even the degen team removed 14k users from receiving the last airdrop (bots, farming)—that activity isn’t growing something sustainable for anyone. Can always build your own client where spam, bots & farming is welcome.

The recent conversation between @nounishprof, @adrienne, and @jacek prompted me to write up some thoughts about $DEGEN airdrop distributions and attention farming. https://paragraph.xyz/@clauswilke/attention-farming

Had a super nice chat with everyone on the Google call! That was so fun :) @adrienne @dawufi @1dolinski @shriphani @ivy @galazio

just realized that the people on farcaster are my “work friends”, still feels weird to say when normie friends ask though

why you need a cofounder

1/ Work in progress — how to solve low signal content (of which "spam" is a subset). 4 main surfaces in app where low signal content appears: - Home - Notifications - Cast pages - Channels "Spam" appears mostly on cast pages and channels. If you have a large audience, notifications.

Nice chat with @jacek today with @nounishprof and @adrienne Re: $DEGEN In case you missed it, here are some highlights 🧵👇

One of my favorite characteristics of a scenius is that when a record is broken, the success is claimed by the entire scene. Sooooo…. Congrats to us, we did it 😅🥂

GM Farcaster by the numbers - keep rising 🚀 But the stats only tell a part of the story. How do I capture the magic of bringing people together, from different countries and cultures, in our hectic too-busy world for 21 minutes of real connection? 💫
