arfonzo's Comprehensive Guide to Getting Your Power Badge 

I've just published my long overdue guide on attaining power user status! It's my longest @paragraph article to date. Apologies for the delay, and I hope it helps! 😼⚡

Feel free to drop comments here if you have questions. 🙏

h/t to @ryya for their trilogy of PB articles, which I have linked as MANDATORY READING at the bottom of my guide. 

I began writing this guide as Ryya was releasing the 3 articles, and I 100% agree with everything in those fantastic posts! Deffo recommend anyone to read, particularly the first two.

Thank mew for the tips and mention, hahaha! 🙏

Aaah, lol! I forgot I used schmuck in there, it's true! 😹

I'm glad you found it useful, and yes, it covers much of what I discussed with you & others. I found myself repeating a lot, so I thought why not pull it all together into one place for peeps?

25 $degen for using the word schmuck. 

That was a really good read and pretty much exactly what we talked about. thanks @arfonzo.eth (getting my 12 pts) 😆

Thank you 🙏🏼
I think avoiding spamming is true everywhere. It’s basic kindness 😃

Hey @antwoman! You're very welcome! I'm so glad you found it useful.

Hey, if a strategy document helps you focus/remind yourself, go for it! I was merely saying there is no need for one necessarily. But I'm all for it, if you want to do it!

Glad you are avoiding the low-effort spammy stuff. It may win the minute, but I still feel it won't win the day. Meaningful casting is always my recommendation!

Best of luck!

Hi @arfonzo.eth. I have bookmarked your cast and just now had a time to read it. I wanted to personally thank you for your help. I found your advice very useful. Some of the things, like avoiding spammy tactics, I had already implemented and they made sense. Other points you clarified for me, and now I plan to create a strategy document (because I'm a nerd!). 😆

Thanks so much for the kind words Papa Bear! 🙏

I'm glad you found it useful, and I hope it can help new users too! To be honest, I don't think new users should immediately aim to get the PB--just aim to have a good time by being genuine and the rest will fall into place!

Absolutely and I think that sentiment is well expressed in your article, one of the many reasons it is so excellent 

👊🏼

Just read it’s excellent 
Will be recommending this when onboarding new users!

Tysm ser! 🙏💜 

In your case I actually think you don't need this. You're doing everything right and was simply a victim of the "need" to reduce numbers.

bookmarked i'll give this a full read. apparently i need it, arf ;)

It was great to see that you put so much time into this. First of all, I would like to thank frenpai for putting this together.🙏 
I have one question. Currently, there are two rating systems, Airstack and OPENRANK, and I believe Airstack was used as the PB standard in the past.
OPENRANK is a new standard, and to what extent do you think it affects PB acquisition?

How to check your openrank easily yourself:

1. Go here: https://docs.openrank.com/integrations/farcaster/global-profile-ranking/profile-rank-based-on-engagement
2. Hit "Test It" button.
3. In the Body, put in your FID.
4. Hit "Send".

You're welcome.

Thank you very much for the kind words, @eiteengo! 🙏

Excellent question: AFAIK Airstack now uses the new openrank algos.

I wrote instructions on checking openrank yourself a month ago, check here on how to do it:

I'm a little confused here.
My understanding was that the following two were ranked according to their respective evaluation criteria.
(1) OPRNRANK (2) Airstackrank

It was also my understanding that since June, Degen has adopted (1) and utilized it in setting Tip allowance.
With regard to PB, I assumed that either (1) or (2) or both (1) and (2) were employed, etc.
In your view, though, (2) means that (1) was adopted,
I had never heard that information before and had never heard or talked about it from anyone in Japan.

The image is an example of my ranking of (1) and (2), which may be about 10,000 places apart for some people.

Thank you very much for the kind words, @eiteengo! 🙏

Ahoy there Tansel! 🖖🐱

You're very welcome! I thought to be as detailed as possible because I'm often cut short by the length limits on farcaster, and I get many, many questions in comments and DCs about it.

I hope it's helpful to you! 💜

Hey Arfonzo 🖖 ,

Thank you for writing this long article. It's a long but full of good advice to get a Power Badge 👍

Thank you so much tomo, I really appreciate that. 🙏🐱

I hope that it provides some help to everyone out there wondering what they could do, or what they should AVOID doing!

But when newcomers do come, this text of yours will be of great help to them!
I will bookmark it and pass it on to those who need it!

As always, you write brilliantly.
The cast you shared with me last time was a very valuable condensation of all the important elements.
Each one is excellent, but this one is more specific and detailed on what to do, and feels like a must-read for those of us who don't know PB or WC!

You're so welcome Silky! Hope you found it useful.

Thank you so much for putting this together! I read through it all, and it seems like you're a real cat person. 😻 🙏

Thanks so much for the kind words @saxophone55.eth! 🙏😻

I really appreciate your generosity, I don't write these expecting tips, but I truly appreciate it!

I hope that it can help you on your journey. You're a great user and exactly the type that should be considered "power badge" material! 💪

Thank you, frenpai. Salute to your dedication to everyone 🫡

ありがとうfrenpai  あなたのみんなへの献身に敬礼 🫡

You're welcome, and yes please ask if you have questions. I'll try my best to answer everyone!

Thank you frenpai. I will read carefully and work hard. If there's anything I don't understand, I will ask, so please teach me.

ありがとうfrenpai  よく読んで精進します  解らないことがあったら訊きますので教えて下さいね

What makes you say that?!

I am glad you found it useful @agustina! You're so welcome. 🙏 

I think you have the right approach--if it happens, it happens. The most important thing is that you find a place where you feel happy, you enjoy casting and having fun.

I also stopped using X/Twitter and most other socials nowadays.

I do what I can so I don't worry much about getting a power badge, I come to this website to have fun and make new friends. I was a little bored with conventional social media. In fact, entering Warpcast made me stop using Instagram 😁
