Do crypto conferences have stand up comedy events / crypto roast shows? Attended quite a few this year but can't seem to recall seeing any side event like this. Could be super fun & even go viral - In general roast of crypto ethos vs reality - Roasting specific influencers - L2 rap battles @emilyy marketing roast gave me this idea..

Botting such as this can lead to very low quality experience for users on decentralised p2p networks such as warpcast. Been thinking about how to solve this here as we do a lot of sybil /bot filtering for other web3 dApps Imo the only way to beat AI spam is AI agents- as they can evolve with spammy agents (adversarial training). Static rules stop working sooner than later

How would you describe your 2024 year on Farcaster in a single sentence? I will go first Finally understood the promise of a programmable social media (or web3 stack based social networks) - much easier to convince my web2 frens to check this out. cc @dwr.eth

It's been 2 years since in the space of using data to drive growth for crypto products ( targeting , retention data based product iterations etc.) Tbh it has been difficult to get organic demand for dApps - either too small to care about analytics, or looking for exit with quick token launches where they don't care about bots etc. In the last 1 month though, seen a change with ~10 dApps inbound around helping them get the right users for a given reward budget (e.g. willing to pay 10$ in rewards to users who've in the past been power users of perps etc.) Wonder what's the trigger here...

One of my highlights from Dec '24: One of our team mates getting inspired by @emilyy to create a slack channel called as personal-branding , in our quest to motivate more of the team to be active on socials. Hosting weekly competitions, sharing ideas for shit posting, initial engagement boost - promising signs already. Any recommendations on how to drive this further?

The positive sentiment around HL is quite refreshing , also reflects in their price action. - Saw some data that talked about how >80% of all whales haven't yet sold the airdrop - there's some tokenomics juju to burn HL in circulation. PS: They did have a points program , just decided to do a much "fairer" launch + imo they performed well cause of less attention on them (<100K wallets) Any other reasons you think they did so well?

So many identity & reputation solutions so started breaking down the various dimensions on which one can compare them. Params such as privacy security scalability user control decentralisation Any standard frameworks one can refer? Or may be an identity trilemma (similar to the blockchain trilemma ) ?

Anyone here seen live examples of a protocol wrt user generated content? - Brands to broadcast content challenges - Users create content & attest to its provenance - Checkers validate content originality, impact etc. -Permissionless compensation to users basis content impact Kind of like @moxie.eth but outside FC?

As someone for whom this is their first active crypto bull cycle as a builder, I feel a tad more distracted: AI Agents, Hyperliquid's airdrop hinting at resurgence of ICOs etc. For the more seasoned folks here:, how do you separate hype from real value? A lot of this hype happens only because folks posting have already made bag & hence speak loudly about all of this..

Just realised sth recently: building a community is often a lot about vibe & just doing things that don't scale (e.g. showing up daily to talk to community, trusting the community to take over & drive things etc.) As an analytical brain, i often rely on numbers & lose the basic idea behind this approach..
