What makes a good feature for a protocol-level subscription?

1. Features are enforced across clients — Snapchain, onchain contracts,  protocol fname and DC servers, etc.

2. Any app-level feature will create incentive for other clients to offer as a top of funnel "our client gives you this for FREE!". This is consumer surplus.

3. Ultimately, protocol-based social networks should generate a lot of consumer surplus in terms of what's available in the standard UX for most clients.

4. Conversely, it's tricky to add features that are 1) valuable 2) can be enforced at the protocol-level. 

5. An additional wrinkle is even clients can fudge protocol-level features (e.g. we support 900 character casts + a link for long casts and render them fully in our client; we link to a slideshow mini app but render the images in our client). This is why the protocol having a "official" client that is protocol-aligned and has high relative market share in the long run is good for the protocol.

0. drop a token

i would say 75% of Pro subs did it for

a. NFT airdrop having value
b. pro subs might eventually lead to $fc airdrop 

dan is always tip toeing around the reality of the finalization of crypto.

even on X, influencers are there for reach but ultimately for how that translates to $.

lean into crypto.

in retrospect, a 120$ public mint is relatively cheap.

i dunno how; but i secured pro #69

taking offers

pro NFTs are the new PUNKs 

don’t fight it

i did not get a "sure". need to get to the bottom of this.

"Sociolinguist Cynthia Gordon points out that a “sure” frequently reads as grudging especially to invitations or requests. The lack of exclamation or further softening often makes recipients feel brushed off rather than warmly affirmed"

Peer to peer ad markets are now live on Zora.

For any post you can buy the content coin. And if you’re the number one holder, you can pin a link under the post.

This solves many issues at once.

(1) First, it gives utility for holding a post-specific digital currency.

(2) Second, it allows creators to share directly and instantly in ad revenue.

(3) Third, it allows advertisers to micro-target individual posts more specifically than ever before. Entire new crypto ad exchanges can arise on this basis.

(4) Fourth, it’s an application that’s legible to web2 execs, as they understand the monetization of attention.

(5) Fifth, you can work out the CPMs, but they may well be lower than traditional ads.

(6) Sixth, it’s enabled by the p2p aspect of crypto, as it’d be hard to facilitate this kind of microtransaction otherwise.

(7) Seventh, creators will probably want to curate their top reply or have AI doing it for them.

(8) Finally, if this works it can be scaled across any social crypto product.

so @balajis.eth launched a token and X still doesn’t know about it

insane that the media went on a 24/7 frenzy, and people burned down Teslas because ELON tried to cut spending. 

worst part is that neutrals shrugged it off as a both sides thing.

Desktop or mobile in-wallet browsers.

Will tinker and add features!

- Powerups based on token holdings?
- Abilities based on glyph colors?

invaders.pixelglyphs.xyz

for those asking, used google ai studio.

by far the most superior and end to end solution. 

better than replit tbh and more complete than cursor because you just deploy on GCP.

maybe we are all just prompts in the matrix 

🍻

warpcast 🔫 -> 💀

graza (olive oil in plastic bottle) exploded in popularity the same exact time the microplastic narrative exploded in popularity

americans are such olive oil rookies using plastic bottles.

back home we just squeeze the actual olives.
