Degentlemen

Degentlemen are the bored apes of farcaster, with a better looking pfp.

from 7 months ago. make it happen.

make base degen again!

I had a friend who used to ace any exam. He just knew what to answer.

Have a feeling he would do really well at Social Predictions.

what is the /degentlemen alpha? why is there increased activity now?

Ethereum

the #1 thing that @solana has right now over @ethereum is people with money who are willing to deploy in a risk forward way at the edge and thereby push forward innovation. 

this is how innovation happens — but it's often messy in a way that can turn folks off (eg it's "just speculation"). but the lack of this means less capital bandwidth for ideas and experiments to both get funding and to break through into virality via price. memes and the innovation downstream of them are a prime example of this. 

if @ethereum wants to succeed, this needs to change — and we are seeing signs of it on @base, but it's still early and  we need a lot more help. 

so let this be a call to action: if you are someone who believes in Ethereum, holds significant amounts of ETH, and wants the economy to grow, now is the time to step up.. 

if this is you, please DM or shoot me an email at jesse@base.org. will be coming up with a plan in the new year. 

🙏🏼

something tells me - call it gut feeling - this cast will turn out to be important.

the og wolf game as a v2 frame would kick ass

Are you able to verify your $ANON credentials from the frame? 

I keep getting stuck here.

a new insight I've had from the last few months: traders are builders too. 

traders build the capital supply that enables innovation and provide leverage that helps builders go viral through price discovery. 

I'm sorry I didn't fully grok this sooner - traders are builders too.

Stoke Fire

What would you like to see added in stoke fire?

For me:

- ability bring back razed villages with $FIRE. hoping the game will be a little bit forgiving. 
- a bit more randomness weaved into the game that allows players to climb leaderboards with some luck, albeit rare
- Making food great again! There is a bit of game theory going on in raiding but more or less the outcomes are limited. And people care a lot more about wood than food - that is obvious. Not sure about this one though - keeping it simple has its benefits.

Stokefire’s 3 invites per player every monday is an amazing growth tactic for a game at this stage. 

Every player in the game is incentivized to only invite serious players 

They are also incentivized to onboard them to clear a few initial levels because only then you get rewards. 

Scarcity of invites is also driving interest. 

Game is self selecting to only some serious players during these early stages. Kind of rare in a crypto game where speculation is all that rules.

this is also along the lines of my hypothesis that you need more rich people on farcaster to help its projects. 

this is where degen breaking out to multi billions becomes important.

An underrated movie critic - James Berardinelli. 

There was a time in college when I used to bit torrent every one of his 4 star movies.  

https://www.reelviews.net

There have only been 4 movies since 2015 that got 4 stars. 

1. Avatar: the way of water
2. Three billboards outside ebbing, Missouri 
3. Arrival
4. The hateful eight 

The quality of cinema has definitely gone down over the last decade.

Memes

Farcaster

whole of farcaster right now:

I need all dc++ games on farcade. 

Real time, multiplayer.

giving it to someone who was awol for a long time then came to piggy back on someone else’s innovation? oh okay 🤡🤡🤡

i hope there’s a legal way to go about this, grifters

eh..why is fee going to slokh even controversial?

Moxie Protocol

how does one unlock fan tokens? 

I locked them for far power. 

Couldn’t find a way to do it on the airstack site.

Warpcast

Unlearning. Full time product manager. Part time builder/tinkerer on farcaster. Bots: @nftsoffc.

how can I share a frame I saved? 

don’t want to go digging the original cast where I saved it from.

Neynar

One click agent creation is now available 

1. log into @neynar developer portal at dev.neynar.com 
2. tap app > create agent
3. enter profile details > make the agent

No more:
- logging in and out of clients to create account
- doing more work to create the signer, #3 above delivers signer uuid
- paying agent creation fee 

Things to note: 
- agent account is custodied by the dev portal right now, we will build a transfer process next that will allow transferring it out to any other custody address
- 2 agents total per subscription, we might increase this in the future 

Hopefully this makes agent creation a lot easier, send feedback

Enjoy farcaster friday 🪐
