hey new Farcasters! Pay attention, here's some info for ya

1) You have a custodial wallet created for your account. Your seed phrase is in your profile settings. Back that shit up like you do other seedphrases.

2) If you have an ens, consider switching that wallet as your default here...mints etc will get sent to it

4) You will see WARPS and think wtf are Warps? These are a centralized "in-app" currency that can be used to purchase storage for your account, tip to other folks, purchase channels, or even mint NFTs on Zora (that are dropped into your connected wallet).

5) Farcaster is the Protocol, Warpcast is the client. There are many clients, some Twitter-like, some Reddit-like, but also others

6) Group chats are newish, Video is very new. The team is awesome and trying to build at a pace that they can sustain. That means not everything is going to be 100% perfect for YOU atm

7) The community is full of web 3 builders, and those passionate in decentralization. Reputation matters more here, the vibes are MUCH nicer here, please remember that this is not a billionaire-owned app when you are wondering why something currently is lacking for you

8) You are not penalized for posting URLs or different types of content in efforts to appeal to an advertising app masquerading as a social media app. Post what you like. Be as present or as detached as you like. Be yourself. Invent a persona. It's up to you.

9) Have fun and nice of you to join us. It's better here.

3) You will see these "frames" things kicking around that you can interact with. Some of them have an API that will trigger an airdrop to your wallet - have no fear, these do not directly interact with your wallet, though likely will be able to in the future, so feel free to PLAY

Oh! I must have misunderstood ages ago when I joined then - thank you for the correction 🙏🙏🙏

This is a nice summary! One note: Warpcast wallets are not custodial. Your seed phrase is stored with a passkey on your mobile device.

You’ll be minting from/airdropped to that one instead of to your custodial one. 

You can have your ens as your display name. People can connect with you here through seeing common owners of PFP collections etc if that stuff is in your ens wallet. It’s how I found any mfers when I joined ages ago.

Thanks for the info!  What's the purpose or benefit of setting your ens as your default wallet though?

So far Frames do not directly interact with wallet...they can only result in something being airdropped to it at the most. But this will I'm sure be expanded upon.  I have my main ens connected. Just keep calm, don't make rash lizard-brained clicks without thinking :)

Is there any reason to be concerned about connecting my main ens wallet to this app?

Can frames drain?

The complete answer here is "it depends". Some of the stuff you're seeing "Mint" requires minting with your wallet, others can use Warps in 1 click...which is honestly, truly a dream once you've experienced it. The other cast thing you're talking about is Frames, but that RC meta stuff is going to die soon (rightly so)

how do you properly mint stuff. Like some mints require you to click "mint" and some require you to visit a site and cast it first. I am confused.

that is definitely *not* the "Farcaster Vibes" btw and will 100%, without a doubt, get you muted by the majority of people in this community

More like what *cant* you do amirite

Which is directly interact with a contract at the moment (safety first), but then anyone can expose pretty much anything via an API through a frame. We’ve got DOOM frames, chess games, cookie stores that deliver actual goddamn cookies. It’s the whole internet at your fingers

Ping me if you have any questions Stella ❤️

You just switch network with your wallet as usual

How does it work with the different networks? Eth, op, base? Do we need a funded wallet for each one?

No prob! I kept getting asked the same questions so this is also saving my sanity 😂

Wow thanks this addressed alot of the questions i had!  Appreciate you mfer 🫶

I believe it is bound to the custodial wallet, but that is something I am only assuming

how do you transfer your fid/farcaster account to another wallet? Actually fully transfer it
