Here’s why I think on ramps haven’t seen adoption: * poor UX: complex kyc, too many steps, and very slow (multiple minutes) * high fees: 3-4% and take a 3% spread, if not higher. * not integrated into the core UI flows making them undiscovered I’m working to solve all these problems: https://meso.network

One of the smoothest onboarding experiences in crypto by far. If users could access on-ramping via FC that would be a game changer

I’m looking to interview a few folks about on/off-ramps. We’re exploring a model that rewards existing crypto users with lower fees and I’m looking for feedback on how we’re explaining that to users. Anyone interested?

I made a fun Obsidian plugin to chat with LLMs via markdown files. This lets you tweak the entire conversation making techniques like few-shot prompting easy. Holding all your chats in Obsidian lets you organize them however you want and sync them across your devices. @kepano would love your thoughts!

What are some of the most interesting experiments with fiat in crypto? Especially curious about early attempts like how DharmaOS explored integrating on/off-ramps with smart contracts. What are some other attempts to connect fiat with crypto? https://github.com/dharmaprotocol/dharmaOS

What are the best examples in web3 of building trust with users as a new product? https://argent.xyz/ is one of the better examples I've found so far, but I'd love to see others.

@dwr.eth did you ever work more on https://danromero.org/config-xyz.html? I've been thinking about something similar and I'd love to work off anything that's pre-existing.

What’s stopping you from using stablecoins instead of Venmo/Cash App? Privacy? Security? Getting friends & family setup w/ wallets? All three?

Is anyone thinking about privacy & Farcaster? I've started to think through ideas to allow users to register a FID and buy a fname without linking it to their eth wallet's public key. I'd love to compare notes with folks who are thinking about this too. /cc @dwr.eth @v

Does nf.td become the decentralized linktree? It seems like that could be a fantastic way to start reaching content creators who seem to be using things like linktree to have a direct connection to their community.

Rainbow’s new swap feature is beautiful. One of the best iOS native experiences I’ve ever seen even compared to non-crypto apps. It even collapses approval and swap! @pugson no idea if you worked on this, but you all are killing it!

What are the top problems wallet teams are focused on? From what I've seen security and compatibility with blockchains/dapps are the top problems. I'm curious how focused wallet teams are on user acquisition and engagement.
