proxy studio

an early morning hunt to try and identify the farcaster user who minted all of these base subdomains & listed them for outrageous prices has led me down and extremely interesting Base rabbithole

highlights include:
- account abstraction
- mass faking active wallets to receive meme token airdrops
- collecting all those airdrops, selling them
- a user named "gamblingjesus.eth" 
- inactive farcaster accounts (hi @degenxbt)

we really exist in such an adversarial environment

working on the studio, dao, bot 

@clanker

may only make sense to mint any names when you can prove you have any relation/history to the name

or a mechanism to reclaim it from someone clearly manipulating

product designer • exploring better ways to live: health, wealth, identity, states and more • bento.me/mxd

I mean this always happens, it’s part of why I didn’t mint. It’s a cool project just doesn’t really get me excited after so many cycles of domain squatting. I have a good ens :)

or maybe rely on other social information to confirm the connection
