Anyone have any good tutorials on how to use the Foundry json serialization cheatcodes? I'm completely confused and must be missing something.

"It's basically like, 'I have no belief system rooted in a culture, and a long history, so therefore I am a la carte assembling it via the Apple Podcast app.' Jesus!" An all time great line from @dwr.eth in Episode 64 😂

Congrats to @moritz and @metony on the launch of Fluidkey. One of the most rewarding things you can see happen as a developer is people building on top of things you contributed to. Love to see the foundational work we've played a part in being productized!

For a couple of years, I wrote a modestly popular tech-focused crypto newsletter. In 2018, in the 11th issue, I wrote that ENS and Gitcoin were two of the handful of projects I believed had real staying power. At the risk of breaking my arm to pat myself on the back, I think this was a pretty prescient call 😇

The fact that you can't rely on a given (contract) address on chain A and chain B being controlled by the same entity is a much bigger problem for building better cross chain experiences than most people realize. It's also a barrier for AA adoption.

Some important things to watch out for in order to get a sense of Farcaster's long term viability: 1) how long does it take the hype cycle to slow down, because it inevitably will, and how much does it "crash" vs. level off 2) how does community/vibe hold up when that happens

How does Farcaster deal with bots? Moderation of channels--anything else?

What DAOs can *not* do: solve problems inherent in human organizations, like bureaucracy, politics, etc... What DAOs *can* do: enable new kinds cross-jurisdictional, internet native organizations of shapes, sizes and scales not feasible before. The first thing is impossible. The second thing is a big deal nonetheless

Honest question, not rhetorical. Is airdrop speculation driving a meaningful portion of Farcaster usage? And if so, is that a good, bad or neutral?

What's a fun crypto native thing to do with an extra Mac mini? M1 with 16 GB RAM and 1 TB drive. Have used it to run all manner of nodes and validators in the past. Looking for something interesting to do with it.
