Hi Casters. I love "watering holes", the places that industry sectors congregate for meals and coffees and beers and more. A new one just opened in the ground floor of USV's office building in the Union Square neighborhood and I wrote about it today

Dakgalbi with chicken + cheese + ramen is one of my favorite meals in Seoul. Wish I saw this more often in the US!

One of the things I’ve experienced with clanker that makes me most excited is when jokes naturally and organically lead to tokens. The problem with launchpads is ultimately every token comes from one person going hmmm what’s a good ticker, what’s a good cartoon image. There is an effort to create a meme token. Deep down, that effort is cringe and I think we sort of all know that

It’s why all of the tokens follow certain trends and types. People are referential by nature, they imitate 

Communities talking with each other, me trying to make @zinger or @alexgrover.eth laugh, @clankerintern.eth doing bits, that’s just the best shit online. Everyone does it, zero constraints, no “forms” or “cat themed tokens” category to follow. All the thought boy shit goes away. 

At best, clankers come without pretense from people doing bits with their friends. It should just feel like posting

@nonlinear.eth feel like this Marginal Revolution blogpost has some potential for what you're doing at Fabric

I'm generally p excited about Beam Chain. The only critique I've read that resonated is that ETH is becoming more like BTC circa-2018 in terms of protocol upgrades. Slow, methodical, like steering an ice breaker.

I think this benefits BTC immensely due to value prop in the market. Less convinced that it's aligned with what the market wants from ETH.

Everyone dunking on @drakefjustin’s timeline targeting 5 years out to ship consensus upgrades to Ethereum has misunderstood something fundamental about Ethereum’s philosophy

It moves slowly and carefully BY DESIGN

alpha is essentially an anti-meme: valuable information that does not want to be shared.

This is the first Devcon I've attended on the builder side rather than as an investor and the coolest part is when people tell me they've used Bountycaster! Connecting with users in person is the best

HAM 🍖

I'm going to be deploying the Onchain Tipping Registry to Ham chain in less than 24 hours and will provide documentation on how to interact with the smart contracts. This will allow for any ERC20 token on Ham chain to become a tippable token on Farcaster. 

Initially the only way to register tokens will be through the smart contract. If someone wants to make an interface for registration you will be able to set an optional TN100x fee that you can take during registration (up to 10%). The fee for registration is 250,000 $TN100x. There is currently no expiration on tipping symbols, but expect there to be in the future. When implemented it will be 1 year. Think ENS for tipping symbols. Each tipping symbol is tied to an NFT.

There are two medium/long term goals with OTR. 1) Allow for coins to be registered from multiple chains and 2) figure out the best way to decentralize the tipping process. More to come on this.

The Onchain Tipping Registry smart contracts and documentation are live! This lets you create a tippable token on Farcaster from any ERC20 token on Ham chain. The Ham Relayer sends the tips directly to the receivers wallet on Ham chain. 

There's no official interface for this yet and you'll need to interact directly with the smart contracts. Registration costs 250,000 $TN100x. If you want to build an interface you can charge a fee and receive up to 10% of the registration cost. 

Check out the OTR Github for a full example of deploying an ERC20 token, registering a tipping token, and converting the original token to the tippable version: https://github.com/ham-official/otr 

You can also read more about it here: https://docs.ham.fun/docs/otr/intro

Reach out if you have a Base ERC20 token that you want to make tippable thats not currently listed on the Ham bridge ham.fun/bridge

the flying one is crazy because you realize how much of the jet lag and grogginess is just not having great air. 

it makes you wonder how much headroom there is to improve comfort purely by improving air quality.

good morning to everyone (except those who disappeared during the bear market and are coming back now that charts are looking green).

My favourite invention in crypto is Uniswap range orders. Most crypto apps are alternatives to stuff that have existed, but Uniswap range orders are largely unique, offers a great way to scale in and out of positions, and earn while you're doing it! That and ZKPs as a broader category, of course.
