gm farcaster it is thursday april 11th and you are here with noushprop and adrianne for 21 minutes of farcaster news to start your day maybe 21 we'll see we're gonna give it a shot we keep trying we keep we keep failing miserably but we're gonna give it a shot and good morning adrienne how are you doing this morning
good morning doing good how are you
i'm good i'm a little tired but at least i don't have to go to a bank today so that i can't even tell you how much that disrupted my whole entire day and i got there i had to go do something had to be at the bank couldn't do it online and i got there like right if they're gonna open at 9 and find out they don't open till 10 and i'm like oh no so banker's hours not so much anymore like what anyway so sorry the recording was late yesterday and then i completely forgot to cast it too we're gonna do better today so let's dive in this is from varun so this is the big the big stuff from yesterday he started off with writing up some thoughts on how to scale farcaster to 1,000,000 dao we're currently handling 50 to 60 messages per second on average and are designing for 1,000 messages full doc should go out tomorrow and this was actually
i think it was the same day and then a few
shout outs there and here was the the doc that came out a little bit later our goal is to scale farcaster to 1,000,000 daily users farcaster will need to handle 10,000 messages per second while staying credibly decentralized that's roughly in the same order of magnitude as most global credit card networks and then here is the proposal i have not had a chance to dive into this proposal yet have you are
you going to
i will definitely read it i will likely not understand it but that's why i was asking you if you had
no no and i had i do enjoy reading documents like this every now and then i haven't had time and i'm not yeah
this seems like up your alley honestly
it's just interesting to think how devs approach and architects approach kind of really large scale networks so i don't know i've got some airplane time this weekend maybe there we go maybe i'll dig in but
there we go yeah that way i would love
to hear your thoughts on it because i think i will have a hard time understanding it because it'll be too technical for me but i'll i'll give it a go just to just to peek in related news ted ted did something similar important announcement below heads up that this will be manual so please pray for us all over the next 72 hours i love that you use the same formatting over the last 3 months farcaster has grown 16 x from 5,000 daily users to 80,000 farcon interest has increased proportionally and while things are holding up we were unlikely to meet demand to make farcon the event of the year without a miracle and that miracle has arrived specifically we have secured a larger venue for farcon summit that is the thursday main conference part that was limited to 200 people up until yesterday so we have secured a larger venue we will be in touch with community pass holders directly via email to upgrade a summit pass for a limited time only check your email later tonight and also in related news don't dm ted about this because she told you she's sending you an email so this
is from ted let me preface this by saying i love you all i thought this was hilarious but i have been casting for weeks maybe months and my dcs are constantly overflowing at 200 plus or 300 plus which oh my god poor thing i thought mine were bad what makes you thanks sending me a dc about farcom when we provided an email address is a good idea like are you trying to kill me so don't do that my comment factor was
did you mean to put this in the don't do that don't do
this channel
don't do this but this is exciting
how do you feel about this that we're gonna have a a bigger a bigger far con
it's so hard to even comprehend so when like we first i think when farcon 2 came out i think it was pre dao explosion
so
we knew it'd be bigger than last year's farfetch
au not d d a o just sorry yeah
active users
yeah
we knew it'd be bigger than last year's but even that so just to comprehend last year was there about 70 people
yeah there was 70 yeah
oh and in in those
we were tiny
yeah in a recent outcasters which is like the weekly you know yep summary there was a picture they they do the this week last year of casts and there was a picture of cameron casting the spot that he and grin had found it was like a preview
yep
and it was an empty like just like the empty space and i almost got chills just looking at it and i was like oh that was before anyone met each other before we knew what would happen at far con and how great it was so i can't even i know i'm sorry the people in the chat are making me laugh
please oh they're so funny
i can't i've yeah i know it's so it's it's really exciting that we're going to have you know i was already like oh this is going to be great 200 people that's fantastic and again this was there were only 10,000 daily active users at that point when they set that and i'm excited that it's bigger but i'm also not i'm having i'm having this is a feelings check-in now
thank you shut up boys club
i'm having feelings about it and i don't wanna i don't wanna feel that way but it's like oh i kinda i'm gonna miss that small cozy vibe
but we'll find those nooks isn't cozy yeah
we'll find those nooks of like
you know where it's where it's but also i think about you know the big meetup we had at east denver and that was a few hundred people and that was amazing right you got to see so many people and have so many conversations but it was also pretty overwhelming where at one point i'm like i gotta go it's too much i gotta go
so i do def definitely have
to just find those moments where it's a little cozier and our little event will be cozier so that'll be good too
that'll make me a little happy in the announcement ted said the there was a saturday night concert or something and then there was a summit after party on thursday so those are being combined sound like the summit after party thursday night is going to be much bigger now yeah for everyone i just saw the time looks like 8 pm to 2 am that's 2 am pacific that's gonna be 5 am east coast time for us who are coming in and i'm a little upset because we have our gm forecaster livestream 100th episode the morning after we're gonna have to call it the morning after party and i i'm gonna go around and make people leave by midnight sorry ted i'm gonna ruin the after party and i'm gonna make everyone go to bed so they can come to our show
sleep you gotta go to sleep i will definitely be i will definitely be heading back to the hotel earlier i will not be out till 2 am first of all let me just say this very clearly i wouldn't have been out at 2 am anyway even if we didn't have gm broadcaster live
the next morning so i was already gonna you know peace out around 11 anyway so i will
be doing the same but
you also can look
at this a different way for those of you who are gonna be out late
pull an all nighter
you can pull an all nighter and just come on come rolling on in come rolling on in at 8 30 and at 8 am or whatever and yeah just don't even don't even sleep you know there's that's another option definitely another option for you youngins
it's just gonna yeah exactly adrianne yeah link said that is that exact exact thing how about if we just don't sleep and do the show just staying up all night exactly we can do that as well i can't but you all can but i'm excited i'm really excited i think this is gonna be amazing and i i really can't wait but there's so much to do before then and i think we mentioned this yesterday but let me mention it again on the last week of april right before far con we're going to have gryn and cameron on on tuesday talking about last year's far con and then we'll have the far con team ted and mcbean and heavyweight and whoever else from the team on thursday to talk about this year's far con so we'll have a we'll have a whole you know whole week of farcon talk and i'm really excited about that farcon love fest if you will yeah alright so back to the news ish this also from me this was from a couple of days ago we didn't get to it yesterday shipping this week in farcaster fixes for warp cast dc bugs fixes for warp cast android crashes shuttle aka the new hubble replicator bundles a new peering architecture for hubble these are things i don't understand but i'm sure the devs watching might understand also kicking around ideas for improvements to frames in app notifications and improving some internal tooling and then note from manan from
oh my god what am i thinking thank you naynar nice trying out shuttle today so that's good to see that you know it's not just about orbcast people
okay zach terrell's response i didn't even see that do you see it on the first one
ili what is that oh
i love you
oh i love you i'm like what what i was having a moment i'm having a i'm like i'm not i'm not quite awake yet i need more caffeine hold on okay another note here it's day 5 of farcaster actions this is 2 days ago so it's now day 7 always looking for feedback to guide what's next what's your favorite action what's working well what's not what should we build next my favorite action by far not even close is bot or no bot and i love it and i forgot to show this yesterday although i did include it on the the the cover art is not a bot average caster average caster i need to speak to hr immediately this is from swim and i went in and tagged the creator of the bot and said swim would like to talk to you so yeah there was that and then we got this from sayangel who is oops that's not sayangel where'd it go i lost it oh no i lost it i lost it we had a little note from say angel there it is yesterday that he said he recasted and said or replied and said not a bot good podcaster
so we appreciate that we appreciate that see angel
nice callback nice callback yeah
it was lovely so what are are you using past actions and what ones are you using most right now
biden or not is a good one love biden
or not
not a 100% accurate but it's super fun and
it's fun and it gives me yeah at least it gives me an idea like i've had times where it said where i'm like who is this they seem like a bot and it said no goodcaster and i'm like oh okay and then i went and checked them out so
yeah i have been i've been using the dgen stats
oh good good
because fun fact i had not been really into tipping and i have an allowance
if you haven't noticed yeah she doesn't tip people
oh oh really so
we people have not noticed so i've not been into tipping but i haven't i have a an allowance so i've started tipping a little bit nice in the last few weeks so i like my i checked my degen chat stats and i i added the give 10 warps
oh nice
bringing back warp gifting
i do you
like i still warp gifting quiet mhmm
yeah i still warp gift i don't do it as much as i do degen tipping i do use the i think it's that one's it's that one paper boy the t the degen tipping i do use that one as well and i like that setup i like that it makes it easy so i just set it up to do the fixed amount of 616 when i just wanna do a quick one makes it easy but a lot of the times i wish it had a way that i could then add a comment as to why because i don't really like to just have just the tip sitting there i usually like to you know expand upon that so that's
right actually i've never not tipped without a comment
yeah i don't do that
i usually next wall so you need yeah yes i need to have check i have check fid your fid because i don't wanna waste my time with high fids and please if you're new that's completely sarcastic and it's an ongoing joke that i love
i don't care
she is not part of the pharisee in case you in case you thought she was
no i have an incredibly low f i
d it's been confirmed it's been thoroughly confirmed we are neither in the pharisee or the degeneracy either one by the way you know what i we'd said back when we did our interview with jacek we said he's probably gonna be part of the pharistocracy and he was the main thing in the degeneracy yeah
so it was like
yeah it was like oh we kind of we kind of manifested that
in a way shout out to kristen and art lou's new podcast the beef chris and art i know
we you guys can we get an easier name we'd really appreciate it we'll shout you
out more read it easier name
yeah i realize when i see it and read it super easy and i'm connecting it now but i i realize i'm probably not saying the sound because i can't actually i might have to think to say it anyway they call their show their show's for the middle class the barcaster middle class
yeah barcaster middle class
a nice little tagline
i love that i love that too i saw that that that was like that was perfect moving on few more notes here cross 300 k total sign ups 280 k of 300 k paid a storage fee 25% of all sign ups were dao yesterday so growing growing slow down i'm not quite ready for this but exciting number
number go up
number go up big number big number and this i love so there's been a few new clients and things launching that i haven't tried yet i heard on many such cases speaking of another podcast that we love talking about nook and i haven't tried it out yet have you tried out nook no no i haven't either i know
i think i'm bad
there's so many things i need to like day where i just go and like try things i don't even spend i have a super cast account i hardly use i use it when war cast goes down and that's not right so i need to like play on more things i'm actually paying for that and i'm not using it is it so he doesn't care so this one is from hubble i think it's hubbell or pfista or boy no sorry it's boy not hubble boy bui bui it's buoy bui
so it's
i don't know
school they taught they told me to pronounce that buoy
yeah
and then as an adult i only hear anyone ever say buoy so i guess we'll go with buoy and
i'm going with buoy
and pete vista maybe come and tell us
yeah pete vista can you tell let us know so this is from dwr clever use of another mobile client use it for notifications and pair it with a cast action could even experiment with a home screen
cast action could even experiment with a home screen pwa is a lightweight way to install notifications for a mobile device excited to launch 2 new cast actions this is from pfista powerwatch get notifications from powerbadge users replies to a cast and watchcast get notifications for all replies to a cast and i think this is really helpful and i definitely want to try this out but i need to i wanna check out booi as well so i think this is really cool i need better ways to i what i really need is a notification on when people tag a channel i would love that if somebody wants to
you know
somebody build this and it sounds like build this sounds easier to build now
maybe i a cast action would be perfect something a notification i need something the reason is like i i don't know when people tag slash gm broadcaster so like i find it by accident if they actually tag us also but there have been times when they tag the channel which is great please do but it's like i don't even see it and i wanna be able to you know maybe even tip some vgen so things like that alright a few other things we've recently added avatars to warp cast notifications especially for dcs so that's super helpful love that surprised more apps don't do this so that's really cool another one from dan if you're aware of a clear example of squatting or impersonation feel free to send me a dc this is a reminder about farcaster usernames use an ens username if you want decentralized and user controlled i use ens personally a reminder that f names have a usage policy against squatting and impersonation this has existed since the beginning so just a friendly reminder don't squat on usernames because they will they are not yours but feel free to
web forecaster is not set forecaster is not decentralized
no it's not warpcast is not warpcast is very centralized why are
we even here
yep you know same old same old
another note here we made some they've been shipping a lot this week we made some additional changes to the qr code desktop login flow for warpcast web if you try a login today and run into trouble please reply here with desktop os and browser mobile os and phone model so if you are having issues please make sure you let him know on that thread that would be helpful
okay so some other things we didn't get to the other day this was one that i'm gonna be honest with you as a gen xer this meant nothing to me but the replies were like everybody would seem very excited so barrybaz.eath i guess i should probably follow him hold on one second he seems important was a lead engineer at neopets from 2,000 2002 focused on scaling security but also built guilds and games after np had some success exits as founder cto plus many lessons 30 plus investments love builders helpers and of course farcaster feel like a trip back to neopia ama so there was some really cool things in here but i did see how excited some of our friends were like heavyweight
like and you know kristen and all these folks who really really
love person of a certain age who freaking loves neopets and i'm so and i'm with you i'm a little i think i was a little too old
yep we missed it we just wasn't in our it wasn't during our timeframe but wasn't it was it linda who was like the neopet
i think linda talked about it a little bit when we had her on
wasn't she like a little neopet famous or something like a little oh maybe was it her i think it was her i'm pretty sure so it was somebody somebody that we talked to and i thought it was linda but it was like it's really so i know that this is there's a lot of folks out here who were excited about this but if you've missed this for some reason go check out this ama from baz.e i thought this was this was fun it was fun to see people get so excited we have to talk about our backgrounds that we're using right now this is from jeff goldberg
not jeff goldblum or i got i got i had this little like wait what no not him highlight and following and followers footprint of adrian's account this was from he created warcrafts accounts that have at least 1200 followers and then there were 3 point 2,370,000 following followers relationships between these accounts and created this sort of data image of it and you can also see did some other similar something similar with 655 but very recently created war cast accounts fids 400 greater than 400 ks and there's he could track these shady follow for follow tactics in conjunction with a network of inauthentic accounts create the illusion of large audiences minimum of 1.2 ks followers and i thought that was really interesting to be able to see that in the data and we had that discussion yesterday about shadow bans and all these things and spam and sort of that control those issues of like how do you deal with that and this is why like here's the why because we've got you know people trying to game the system and they may not be you know the best actors and we may you know so we just gotta stay safe out there but look how pretty
right it's just so pretty
i have heavy weights because i didn't have one so that's heavy weights oops that way there you go
alright request jeff can you make one for now and ishprof
make one for me please i would really appreciate it i want one too kbc did this a while back with different followers in like different ways of networks the way the networks connected and it was really really interesting and beautiful like i love when people kind of display the data in a way that is so visually appealing rather than just here's another line bar graph kind of thing so i just i think this looks amazing it gives me such like you know interstellar vibes it's beautiful
and let me see i think we just have a couple more things we are running out of time we did that we did that i'm just making sure ah we have one big other thing that we do have to we have to discuss because i pulled this for yesterday but i had no idea what the heck was going on
let's delve into it
dan had dan had posted this psa you're free to delve or not delve on farcaster and then everyone started commenting imagine not delving wish i knew this a year you know like delved too deep all this stuff and i'm like look ma i'm delving i'm like i have no idea oh max i've delved like i've never delved before
and i
had no idea what the heck was going on and then i saw this someone sent me a cold email this is over on the bird app someone from paul graham someone sent me a cold email proposing a novel project i'm getting some weird feedback proposing a novel project then i noticed it used the word delve my point here is not that i dislike delve though i do but it's a sign that the text was written by chat gpt and this just was so funny to
me but i was like i have no idea what
was going on and then this was my favorite response from 0xfunk oh i'm a delve i'm a delve so hard you can't stop me well actually i guess you are probably one of the few people who can actually do
a decent job of trying to stop me so that was pretty funny it's a weird feedback and i wonder if it's something that i'm done here that i started by accident probably i'm gonna blame x oh
just just shut that app off
yeah it's gotta be it's gotta be because
i went to twitter out i swear to god i think it's because i went to twitter x out of there as soon as i went to twitter i started getting some weird feedback
so we x ed out of there to get rid of that but i did
think that was really funny so i wanted to make sure we talked about the delving i have no issue with that word but now i see it everywhere i was literally on i think it was on max or something in one of the new shows it was like delve into the world of and i'm like oh my god now i see the word delve everywhere so that's the explanation of the
yeah there's a channel there's a channel called afraid to ask ah
so
when you see me like if you see someone post something or a meme you can ask your questions that you're afraid to ask there someone will genuinely give answers also hot tip get yourself a group chat of people that you can also ask questions you're too scared to ask in the public timeline in a group chat because
we have a couple of good ones like that
yeah i should have just asked there but i just didn't even think about it and then i circled back to it last night and i was like oh okay now i get it now i get what's going on here but it took me a minute to to figure it out because it just it just seems so random i'm like okay this means something but i don't know what alright everybody it's yes we've run long i know we just need to change our tagline we're still gonna keep to less than 30 minutes always not always when we don't have a guest when we
have a guest
we don't have a guest
