Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

Farcaster

What does an AI-first social network look like? Some thoughts.

First, you can prototype it with Farcaster. You don’t need to reinvent users, wallets, the feed, any of that. So that alone speeds you up.

Second, open source models are now cheap enough to run that you can just put them behind a normal button. X’s Grok integration is a good example.

Third, there is tremendous room for an AI which is prompted not just on immediate context (your post) but on social context (your past posts and those of your friends). It could autogenerate prompts it thinks you’d like.

Fourth, AI improvements on seemingly simple things like image upload widgets could be profound. You could automatically search for similar images, upscale them, auto-annotate them, or do something else.

Fifth, AI could enforce a certain style in a community. As heavy-handed example, every post could be rewritten in Olde English. If you opted into this kind of moderation, it could produce unique communities. Like filters, but for text.

@linda i shared your https://www.bountycaster.xyz/jobs with some consultant who are open to work. The question came back with those unfamiliar with web3, what are some of the requirements. Their skills range from leading design teams, leading product management orgs for ar/xr. Genai automation, hr, workforce automation. What should I share?

I actually think we don't have enough positivity on here. There's a lot of Farcaster toxic positivity, maybe we have enough of that, but there isn't a ton of *crypto* optimism honestly

Crypto is like water. It will continue slowly embed itself into everything on the internet. On a long enough time horizon, it will win.

Question is how long will it take. Do we have a Zanclean flood?

Founders

Being a solo founder is hard. Hams biggest problem is marketing imo. If you dig in you'll find a robust tech stack. Ham chain, a layer 3 that enables any coin to become tippable in the social feed, FID to wallet and wallet to FID mappings so you can read Farcaster account data from smart contracts enabling new interesting projects to be built (shoutout to @syndicate)

The recently launched Hamcaster, a socialfi app that uses this onchain mapping of FIDs to wallets to create tokenized representations of your Farcaster accounts and lets you share $HAM rewards with people who stake your token. 

Let's not forget the Ham community on Warpcast. A couple thousand people engaging on Farcaster and earning $HAM based on various metrics. The only product with onchain tipping where tips are settled within a minute or two after they are set. 

Floaties - tipping Base coins with emojis. 

I've done all the development work and product design, @facu did the incredible design work and lent his expertise to product ideas.

huge fan of deployer since we talked ~2 weeks ago

doing things solo, shipping daily and handling all other business aspects of running a crypto project is incredibly hard

respect and can't wait till the ham <> supercast integration hits the prod 🤝
