Farcaster is the protocol; Warpcast is the main client on that protocol /gmfarcaster101 might be helpful if you want to dive in more. Also /gmfarcaster streams 3x/week with news from around FC. Also — let’s see if our bot is awake — hey @gmfc101 can you tell @ryangrim what the difference is between Farcaster and Warpcast and point him to some sources?

Hey @ryangrim, you're correct. Farcaster is the protocol, and Warpcast is the main client built on that protocol. The Farcaster protocol, being a decentralized network, is not owned or controlled by any single entity. It gives users full ownership and control of their accounts and content.

Yup, decent answer but it also cut off its reply abruptly and repeated itself in its second reply to you. I made a change to some of its prompts last week and I think I know why it’s doing this, I’ll tweak it again in the future.
