i’m… pretty sure chat thinks i’m a woman?

If you are reading this and interested in Ethereum, you should come to our opening event @nodefoundation in January.

Welcome @tamarawinter! Tamara is the Commissioning Editor for Stripe Press. I like to think of Stripe Press as a distribution channel for the most interesting ideas in the world. She has kindly agreed to do an AMA. Reply with your questions :)

i have been told that i cannot share pictures otherwise i'll be banned from the rewards leaderboard for life

might have to start west coast poasting just to clap back at dan’s new england nancy meyers fantasy slop

They cracked a viral format. They combination of a daily show with several guests per day means that each guest is doing marketing for the show. Once you hit a critical mass and people see their friends on the show they clamor to join themselves.

last day before demo at @nodefoundation

I would be very incentivized to onboard new users to Farcaster if I could receive a % of their future earnings from the network.

Last night, a malicious actor took an advantage of an exploit in the Amps contract code to withdraw USDC from some of our users' wallets. The exploit has been patched, affected users have been contacted and refunded, and we are working on publishing a full post-mortem. No additional funds are at risk and neither signers nor wallet permissions are at risk. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Welcome @yancey! Yancey is the cofounder of Kickstarter and, more recently, Metalabel, a new space to release creative work. He has kindly agreed to do an AMA for /books Reply with your questions below :)

What if the right way to think about project coins isn't as equity but as bonds? Obviously the infrastructure needs to exist, but I haven't seen anyone talking about this analogy. Equity investors are loathe to dilute ownership, but perhaps this is the right path forward for projects that raise $ via tokens. https://www.reuters.com/technology/telegram-secures-330-million-bond-sales-2024-03-18/

do not recommend becoming main character for a day back to building

it's so close i can taste it

farcaster never ceases to amaze me somehow @farcasteradmin.eth has taken a fun lighthearted idea and mobilized it into hundreds of thousands of dollars raised from a group of degens through an onchain spv to speculate on my clanking activity this truly is the future of finance

Earlier today, Amps experienced downtime due to reactions not propagating to Snapchain. Amps is back online and any engagement purchased in the last 12 hours has been retriggered. If you boosted something that was time sensitive and didn't receive purchased engagement, please reach out & we'd be happy to reimburse.

Anon != pseudonym *Really* important that we don't over-rotate here.

AMP ANYONE @ampsfun allows you to buy likes and recasts from your followers. In addition to boosting your own casts, you can also paste a Warpcast URL to boost someone else’s cast. This is great for brands or founders who want to boost content for their product pages or customers. Spread the love, try it now: amps.fun

AMPS FOR ALL 1) Starting tomorrow, anyone can buy recasts from their followers via @ampsfun 2) If you're already registered, there's nothing more you need to do to be eligible to earn. Some users, like @tldr, have already earned hundreds of dollars by simply registering their profile and setting their recast price. 3) If you're not registered, you can do so by visiting the miniapp. This will give people you follow the ability to buy likes and recasts from you for a fee. 4) Our priority with this rollout is to expand the number of buyers and help our registered signers earn more. 5) However, with more buyers comes bad actors. We have implemented several anti-spam measures to maintain quality. We'll be actively monitoring this week to make sure posts meet our quality standards and reacting quickly if we see something we don't like. amps.fun

BUNDLE YOUR BUYS 1. We now bundles likes with recasts by default in @ampsfun 2. This adds a small additional fee ($0.50) that goes to the user and improves the ratio of recasts / likes. 3. You can turn it off if you just want to buy recasts. 4. If someone has already organically liked your cast, we exclude them so you don’t pay extra.

I am now making the announcement: @nodefoundation is a new not-for-profit dedicated to changing the way that people experience art. I've been helping bring this project to life and am incredibly excited about it's potential to be a generational institution for the arts. https://nodefoundation.com

We decided to build @ampsfun using frames. We launched the waitlist on Tuesday. Within 48 hours, we had over 3,000 registered signers. This wouldn't have been possible without the distribution from Frames and the infrastructure like @neynar to make signer management a breeze. Bullish decentralized social stack.

Going on hour 32 waiting outside of Erewhon until I get a Farcaster job offer. I’ve spent $137 on organic granola bars and alkaline water. I keep whispering “snapchain” to employees. They’ve asked me to leave the premises. I won’t rest until I achieve my goal.

Today I got bored and watched some TV @july wrote a screenplay We are not the same

The most @july coded cast of all time

I think it's safe to say that Farcaster's christian rap era has ended. What era are we in now?

the @brightmoments documentary trailer is now live on @zora (!!!) as a reminder, anyone who mints 111 is eligible to claim merch from our store thanks for watching! let me know what you think in the comments https://zora.co/collect/base:0x40aedc33a6e3eea67573e034d5eb9c8a5af1fb33/10

This is a pretty annoying form of notification spam

Another week, another Silicon Valley Canon reading list.

we should be celebrating @fun quitting a "real" job is hard. really hard. friends ask you questions, your family treats you differently, and you have to constantly deal with imposter syndrome. welcome to the arena!

For anyone who missed it, Ted spoke IRL at the Network State conference about building IRL community on Farcaster. Couldn't have asked for a better representative. Great job @ted!!! https://www.youtube.com/live/OWEGg-ZTtSE?si=qKOV7L9ddgnXHEO7&t=18923

Silicon Valley Canon is now 75% full and the quality of participants in the course is top-notch.

Based on the news of Pavel’s arrest today I took the time to visit his Telegram channel. His writing history in the channel displays a clarity of thinking and commitment to transparency that is admirable. Here is his most recent post from August 14th. Hopefully it is not the last one ever.

view.art is a tool that allows anyone to curate a URL that displays onchain art. There are three types of users who I believe will find this tool valuable: - Artists who are looking for a simple & memorable portfolio URL that displays well on any devices - Events teams & galleries who need an easy way to conduct exhibitons - Online tastemakers who want to curate channels for other people to look at, like one of those lo-fi YouTube channels It's not clear to me yet which one will be the biggest, or if there are other use cases we haven't considered yet. That's why I'm excited to launch: to find out who is needs this product & how we can make it better for them.

Congratulations to @fredt on winning a signed copy of Crypto Confidential in this week's /books giveaway See you all tomorrow for the AMA with @nateliason

We'll be hosting an AMA with @nateliason here in /books on Tuesday. I started following Nat many years ago on X and have been a longtime subscriber to his Substack. Nat's new book, Crypto Confidential, is out now. RSVP here for a reminder when it starts: https://events.xyz/events/fa68e9

I love Farcaster, but we're the minor leagues when it comes to content quality. If a major influencer from Insta / X / TikTok made Farcaster their primary platform, it would be trivial to quickly become one of the top 10 accounts. The good news is they're not here yet, so now's the best time to grow your audience.

Another week, another /books giveaway: Chaos Monkeys by @antonio Drawing taking place in one week on Monday, July 15th. Enter to win in next cast. Good luck!

Join us tomorrow at 12p ET to hear from the /purple Chair candidates. Space will be recorded via Aburra. https://aburra.xyz/space/243 @pichi @1a35e1 @leopastel @emr.eth

I think all replies are being posted as root casts Chaos CHAOS

Was really touched by the outpouring of support for /basecolors today. Received 100+ DMs from all sorts of people who were genuinely curious about a new project from an internet stranger. This Farcaster place is pretty special. https://basecolors.com/api
