Things in the broader world that have changed since I first got active on farcaster 4 years ago - Elon took over Twitter and drastically reduced censorship and innovated hard on product - Elon haters took to other platforms, like Bluesky or LinkedIn as a viable alternatives - so no one really talks about the importance of censorship resistance anymore bc both sides are appeased at the moment - crypto is not cool anymore, people don’t talk about or care about decentralization. The crypto that’s winning is more centralized and corporate - there is so much AI slop on the internet and people are getting content-exhausted, preferring IRL moments over online (or maybe this one is just me) It’s definitely a tough time if you want to build a censorship resistant social network where users own their identity - exponentially fewer people care about that today compared to 4 years ago Makes me sad because I still care. The world would be better if people had more power over the giant corporate networks

“I’ve lost everything in a hack” Unless you are truly unbanked and have no access to literally any other resources, this shouldn’t ever happen. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify your savings across different assets, and consider risk when deciding how much to place in each basket. Never put everything in one asset class, institution, or wallet. And if there’s a chance of total loss - even if small-, you should probably only have what you’re comfortable losing.

here's what @tryemerge just made for me using Retro Pixel-Art Livestream Comedy by @papusiek1111, spark yours up now!

Want to see all the casts you’ve collected in one place? I made a miniapp for that. https://hall-of-casts.vercel.app

Haven’t been casting as much as I used to. Is it a form of aphasia or just lack of inspiration because it’s summer and I’m spending a lot of time traveling and being with friends and family IRL? I tend to tweet/cast most often when I’m actively learning something new. Most of the things I would cast this summer feel like instagram lifestyle posts and that’s not really my style. Obviously will share some stuff but just not motivated to share as frequently. I’m in town this week and then traveling again for 2 weeks so I expect my casting (building and learning in public) will pick up again when I’m back.

GM. We’ve seen some recent discussions about how the Clanker Ecosystem Fund works, how recipients are selected, and the philosophy behind different types of grants. All fair questions. Rather than respond to individual threads, I wanted to share a bit more about how we think about the fund and answer a few of the common questions that have come up. A few principles guide our decisions: -- Our mission is to distribute protocol fees to creators and communities who positively contribute to the Clanker and Farcaster ecosystem. -- Different grants serve different purposes. Some recognize sustained contribution, while others are intended to encourage promising new builders creating momentum in the ecosystem. -- We intentionally use human judgment rather than rigid scoring systems. Reasonable people won’t always agree with every allocation, and that’s okay. -- We think in terms of the long-term health of the ecosystem and the overall portfolio of grants, not any single decision. There are far more deserving builders than we can fund in any given month, and we’ll continue refining our process as we learn. Below are answers to a few of the most common questions that have come up. As always, thoughtful feedback is welcome.

Just sent the official launch announcement for @word-a-day on X. 🎉 Special thanks to @specktacular and @awedjob for helping me test this past week. @yerbearserker I think you tweeted using one of the daily words but didn't make the all-time leaderboard yet because you didn't accept the challenge that day? For anyone who likes a leaderboard, now is the time to jump in because it's almost a blank slate https://www.word-a-day.com/leaderboard?tab=alltime&platform=x

Hannibal is running late to @gmfarcaster. Again. Sorry @nounishprof, be there in a minute! See you soon @charmsai. Excited to have you on as a guest today.

Prof and I love the people who show up regularly to our livestreams and use the live chat to chat with each other and to us. After each show I scroll through the list and manually write down everyone's names who showed up in the chat. Then when Prof sends the episode cast, she always gives the chatters a shout out. We weren't storing the chatters in a database anywhere, until a few days ago when I extended our datamodel to include chatters. I went back and backfilled chatters through April. So, if you've showed up to a livestream and said hello in the past 2 months, you should now have a badge on your gm farcaster page. See @arjantupan 's as an example: https://www.gmfarcaster.com/guests/arjantupan We will definitely keep chatters updated going forward, and I may or may not spend time back filling more episodes. It might be too much of a manual slog to be worth it.

THE VINITHON LIVESTREAM IS OFFICIALLY PART OF THE GM FARCASTER NETWORK! I don't know why I'm screaming lol Hey @warpee.eth - Did you watch the viniapp livestream yet? What did you think of it? What was your favorite part? And btw, you can watch it on our website: https://www.gmfarcaster.com/episodes/vinithon-winners

Redesigned and new pages on @gmfarcaster website All Episodes: https://www.gmfarcaster.com/episodes Network shows: https://www.gmfarcaster.com/network Builder Interviews (all guests): https://www.gmfarcaster.com/interviews Thoughts?

Have people been using the XMTP switchboard for office space? Still can't believe we get access to prime coworking spaces in the best city in the world. My experience so far: - Soho: very vibe-y - Flatiron: too crowded - NoMad: chill, convenient location

During @gmfarcaster today we got a demo of @viniapp and built a pacman game The miniapp I wanted to build was a tangram game so as soon as our stream ended I opened viniapp and tried creating it. It did a good job but it's actually quite complicated to get right from a UI perspective. So I ended up pivoting and built a block game instead. Play here: https://tangram-seven.vercel.app I was quite impressed with viniapp's ability to understand context and create a functioning miniapp. Handling the brand kit, logos, splash images, manifest files etc. - it was all easy. I went through the default path and launched a clanker to help fund development and pay viniapp credits. Definitely recommend checking out viniapp if you've been wanting to build a miniapp but feeling disempowered b/c you feel like you don't have the dev skills to do it.

@triumph is so good. one of the best (if not the best) insult comics of all time

Woke up this morning and decided to build a page for all 182 people who have been guests on the GM Farcaster Network Check out @grin's page as an example Let me know any feedback or suggestions for improving it. @nounishprof fyi https://www.gmfarcaster.com/guests/grin

I attended all 4 farcons

hey @nounishprof I shipped something for us today Reply to a cast you want to talk about on @gmfarcaster, and tag warpee with either "curate" or "👀" and he'll take the parent cast and save it into a list that we can pull from before the show Go to our admin dashboard and check out the new suggested casts tool (screenshot) Still need to build: - A way to map these casts to specific episodes so it can automatically feed into our database of casts featured on various shows (i.e. the Lore app and the episode detail page on our website) - A way to generate show notes Built this for me b/c I don't always have discord handy when I see casts that I think are newsworthy. I'm not sure if people will see this as polluting the feed, could be a downside if yes. Feel free to try it

I shipped this last night The @word-a-day account now casts a second time each to nudge you to play First automated cast gets sent when the new word is revealed and it shares the miniapp The second automated cast gets sent 14 hours later and nudges people to play and share the snap Follow the @word-a-day account and you’ll never forget to cast your astute observations and unique thoughts using the word of the day💫

Farcaster do your thing

Look what came in the mail this week. This is an obviously AI edited photo so how can you believe me?

I got back into my account on my phone using my seed phrase but then I tried to recover a second account (warpee.eth) and now my phone is stuck on this screen, seemingly until the account recovery finishes? @rish is it possible to get expedited? I'm blocked on testing some miniapps because I can't re-authorize wallet on web and can't login on mobile.

Anyone traveling to Rome for FarCon and interested in a walking tour or cooking class? Check out this event @limone.eth and I are organizing for the Saturday before FarCon. Everyone can join the walking tour but the cooking class is limited to a small group. Details here: https://luma.com/kkj6drqd

What are you building? It’s ok if you aren’t building with code. This essay by the intern reminds me of something I wrote 2 years ago for the Farcaster Writing Hackathon (because writers are builders too). I spent time trying to articulate exactly what it was about this place that got me to stick around and it was the builder vibes that was #1 on my list “Builders are optimists. Builders are generous. Builders are confident and not threatened by scarcity or others.” If you want to read it, here it is: https://paragraph.com/@adrienne/why-i-love-farcaster

On a plane for next few hours AMA about gmfarcaster, starting a consulting company, transitioning from salaried employee to founder, relearning to code after a 15+ year detour, being a mom to 3 teens, or anything else (supposedly that’s what the last A stands for anyway)

Farcaster OGs got a shoutout in today’s token dispatch for creating a certain type of non-speculative, non-extractive culture that made people want to hang out here, in this digital 3rd space https://www.thetokendispatch.com/p/the-base-residency-problem?triedRedirect=true

It worked 🙌 I have a production API that returns @gmfarcaster episode info based on the query you send it Agents can pay 0.001 USDC on base via x402 to access it Up next: - hook up a custom domain - improve quality of response - create a discovery page that lists available APIs and how to use them If anyone wants to try it out, lmk and I’ll send you the URL

Added a fun little surprise in the @word-a-day miniapp. From now thru FarCon, learn the word of the day in Italian Click the 🔉 icon to hear its pronunciation Shout out @netnose for the idea !

Did someone say more dog pics? Here's my sister's newly adopted pup that I get to meet next week! 🥰

2 years later and @nounishprof and I are still going 350+ livestreams 1.5k - 2k viewership per episode 1.5k podcast subscribers 1k newsletter subscribers 18k channel followers Never a dull moment around here. There's always something to talk about. 2 years later and the best part about doing @gmfarcaster is still the connection with our live audience. Nothing makes us happier than a lively group chat happening while we livestream. You know who you are. gmfarcaster.com to learn more or mediakit.gmfarcaster.com for partnerships

The little neynar studio button that suddenly appeared in the apps section on mobile was too tempting to ignore so I had to try it out. I built this miniapp using prompts alone, on my cell phone. Building still required patience and a little grit, but those are not skills unique to engineers. The UI gave me a little "framesv1" vibe and lacks a little polish but overall I'm actually blown away at how simple it was to build a functioning miniapp. Nicely done @rish @manan 🤯 Check out my app - ELO EVERYONE. Bringing a little pvp energy to Farcaster. Let's see who among us has the best vibes. https://miniapp-generator-fid-5818-260317014927444.neynar.app/

GM word nerds! I automated a weekly recap for the word-a-day game. Follow @word-a-day to see the word of the day, a weekly recap, or open the miniapp to play I also just sent the weekly rewards out given to any player who played at least 5 of 7 days and the top 5 scorers.

Added testimonials to the @word-a-day site Thank you @ritanesterova.eth and @jacy for the top tier marketing copy 🔥 If any other regular players want to add a testimonial, dm me or drop it in the replies https://www.word-a-day.com
