yeah
b are people going there btw i'll be in farcon thank
you ted vtw ruining my feed ruining my
feed last night it wasn't your fault but
yeah btw i will also be a farcon we were talking about new people just joining farcaster this week we just wanna apologize on behalf of everybody because we know that you're probably not going to farcon and this is probably like very confusing and annoying and to those who aren't going also like we apologize but we're a little excited so we're talking a lot about farcon today as well as sort of what we're up to and i did wanna mention really quick before i forget i'm wearing my pudgy penguins hat today a little bit of a gratitude shout out to luca netz for coming to my class yesterday and giving like a new rodney level pep talk to my students it was phenomenal there's a lot of times that you know if you're dealing with 20 somethings and teenagers and if you're a parent and you have kids around that age you get exactly what i'm saying where they don't listen to you they don't you know they won't they won't take it from you but they'll take it from somebody who's closer to their age and they'll believe them over you and then you know years down the road they're like oh you really were smart but it was that kind of a moment where he just was able to impart like some really hard facts about entrepreneurship as well as some great life lessons and then just ended with this like just very spontaneous sort of pep talk that was you know like i said new knew rockne worthy so thank you luca for swinging by that was a pretty amazing moment and i've had students coming up to me and just talking about it already right after and we're just you know blown away so just wanted to do that so that's the hat
that's
awesome so it was it was really nice it was really great so that was my day yesterday so i ended that was my last official class as a full time professor so there we go because i'm moving on to this full time right after friday so but before that we've got a few things to chat about so we have a few other things going on not really much besides farcon but a note from dan farcaster's permission list anyone or anything can pay $3 worth of eth to the smart contract on op mainnet to create an account after 1 year the account has to pay $3 again to to keep using the pro protocol there will be low quality stuff on the protocol just like the web and email clients will solve quality i think this is more of a note about you know some complaints if you're looking for a more moderated approach to the underlying protocol check out federated protocols like activity pub or atproto developer infra like air stack and nanar are taking independent approaches to measuring quality this is good for the protocol long term you don't want a single spam algo so i thought that was a really interesting i know it's in response to questions about you know blocking spam and things like that and i also believe there's there's coming soon a way to gift the protocol fee i think we've had that before with pay storage for people and things like that but i think there's more of that coming soon as well
you can do it with warps you can invite with warps you can invite
oh i think this was with crypto that's what it was to do it with crypto that's what it is yeah
you know what i love about these messages
what's that the subtweets you mean they are consistent they are consistent i'm just kidding
they're just consistent so if you've been paying attention and if you've listened and read what messages have been put out the story's not changed nope so and there's alternatives
and you know what you can always build your own client you can
always build it
there's always there's always an opportunity for a new client
opportunity for another client
absolutely and i'm excited to to chat with dan and broon on friday so if you have questions for them and you are currently in our chat or are in one of our dm groups chat groups definitely drop anything that you want us to ask them cause that's where we'll be that's where we'll be asking for your input this is from joe j petrich today we're excited to launch our pokemon card vending machine as a frame mint a pack for $35 in eth degen or usdc receive a graded card worth up to $500 and then head to courtyard io for your buyback offer thanks to samuel huber for helping build it read on for more details i don't know exactly what this is but it looks really cool so this is neat i you know courtyard if i understand it correctly is building this sort of physical to digital connection and this is just one more example of that and it's pretty freaking cool so if you're into pokemon cards go check it out i think that's neat yeah looking forward to seeing joe yeah isn't this neat it's pretty cool and i see a lot
of different applications yeah they're doing kind of nfts to represent physical physical goods
right
i think this is just a kind of a a playful game right little little game to play i tried it what's interesting about it is oh cool and if you scroll down you're paying with eth degen or usdc but typically frames are only working on like transaction frames only work with coinbase wallet or base or something but it's using polygon
right okay
so it's it's not as simple as a click to click to mint okay you have to first approve a transfer and and then mint so it's a 2 step which means more steps more things that can go wrong i played around with it last night it something went wrong i i chatted with joe i know they were gonna i think there was over a 150 successful minutes so it's definitely
yeah but mine didn't work yet
and it also might be it could even be wallet related it could be there could be a number of different reasons as we know when you have a a tech stack with multiple things in it it can
that's right can go wrong this is what you know what what the devs are doing or kind of pushing the boundaries is yeah you know we put up constraints like you can only transact on the end devs find a way to to push the constraints and get creative so good job guys
yeah great job it's really interesting so well done and looking forward to seeing you at far con this was from gt if you or a loved one suffers from direct cast unread badge is stuck and is not

dealt with bingey on the optimism team many times for other things in builder and nouns and they're amazing and so responsive and every time somebody asks us why why base this is why that's why that's

it's gonna be an incredibly productive seven to 8 hours of travel so yeah i'm really looking forward to it but i am really looking forward to see what you've come up with because you tend yeah
couple questions from the chat while we were going through the the agenda someone asked if they're gonna be streamed live streamed if the talks are gonna be live streamed i am not sure so
we are going to be live streamed on friday that i can guarantee you one way or another the rest at the moment is tentative i am planning myself to try and livestream some of this to our channel however until i get into the space and make sure that that can be done i didn't wanna make any promises so i'm gonna do my best to do some of these and it might be very janky or it might be very well done i'm not sure which yet in other words it might be on the phone or it might be i have a brand new camera situation or yeah there might be a professional doing it and i honestly at this point we're not exactly sure what's happening so stay tuned for
you yeah i mean dan was looking for people with live streaming experience which just means like everything happens yeah super last minute but tbd could happen yep
we do have derek taylor from the park who's helping us with our stream and i did you know recommend dan reach out to him so i don't know if they have you know that already in the plans in the works but also you just never know how things are gonna work with this kind of setup where you're not we're not in a conference space just to be clear this isn't like a traditional conference space that's designed for that sort of thing so it's it's you you just never know so can't count on it but we'll do our best and if not we'll have some recordings up as quickly as possible
yeah and this isn't a quest this isn't a question from the chat but one of the anans says oh my god everything about farcon not being there makes me wanna cry right now
and i
don't know if you were yeah we're we apologize and if you missed the beginning of the stream we we warned you and we warned you
go back then we said sorry and i i know you're saying it's an anon but we know that anon and he tends to write songs about us i
think i
think it's ivc see i think it's ivc who's been who's been turning casts into songs and it's absolutely hilarious so hilarious a few more things to to chat about this from ted that set off a whole new meta btw will be at far con i gave her all my tips yesterday because she's freaking earned it by the way if you've never planned an event before of this magnitude or any kind of any kind here's what i would say is if you see ted just say thank you and and also is there anything i can do to help you or you know just that's that's it like nothing else if you have feedback if you have criticism wait till after because it's too late so that's right unless there's a fire like
that
that's the level
we're at at the
the ships have sailed so if there's like an emergency situation fine but otherwise just hold it till after because she's a little busy so yeah this did set off a fun meta
that farcon is an unconference yes exactly so don't bring your conference expectations to farcon bring your unconference great point expectations
that's a great point like don't expect this to be exactly like other conferences dan has decided he i have decided to break my no crypto conferences rule and attend farcon that's good because we're interviewing him on friday so i'm glad to hear that and also varun considering going to is anyone else from farcaster going to either so we let him know there was a channel just in case he wasn't aware yeah these guys are getting really funny oxen though this was interesting by the way won't be btw won't be at farcon unless and i don't know what that unless is but along those it's gone
it's gonna be none so we will never know you will never know if you are sharing space with oxen
we'll never know we'll never know but on that note could
be oxen and you wouldn't know
you would have no idea are you oxen i'm not oxen well that's 2 of us
