My friend called MJF "The best heel in wrestling", and he's a New York Jewish boy?! And he got the crowd angrily chanting "Santa" at him?!?!?! Incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSVh-_kXhhA&themeRefresh=1

Ok, weird hackenstein way to reduce the cost to deploy a new smart contract: Use EIP-7702 AUTH instead of deploying a smart contract using Nick's Method. Nick's Method allows an AUTH from a key that doesn't exist. That means 7702 provides an EVM-layer proxy contract alternative at around 1/10th the cost.

I've been signed out of my twitter account on all devices. My password has been changed, and I am not receiving password reset emails. No unusual activity from the account yet, but I'm concerned what it may lead to. Don't believe anything that account says until this + my Bluesky account says otherwise. https://bsky.app/profile/danfinlay.com

There's no excuse to leave critical JS infrastructure this vulnerable to supply chain attacks, thanks to LavaMoat from @metamask. Hasn't been for a few years, but if it takes a big hack to get you to think longer term, then I recommend you seize the opportunity: https://github.com/LavaMoat/LavaMoat

How about an anonymity pool for the anonymity feed curators?

Andreesen sure wants listeners to believe Bluesky is completely homogenous. There is definitely a large cluster of what he describes, but it sure isn’t one culture.

Last night I created an experiment on Farcaster that went farther than intended. What started as platform research revealed deeper truths about incentives, boundaries, consent, and human impact in web3. Some important lessons and thoughts on building better systems: https://blog.danfinlay.com/meme-tokens-and-consent/

Ok so the increasingly noisy anon casts can quote tweet you and it makes it to the "priority" feed? If I just had good control of my own notifs & feed It'd be fine. The current notification system here is well situated for amplifying abuse, and abusive people here seem to know it.

Shout out to the Clanker team for being open when receiving frustrated feedback. It's easy to seize up when someone is having negative emotions with your product. It's easy to mix up the thing you've poured love into with yourself. It's really important we builders all practice making that distinction.

I am comparing the WC vs SOL memecoin experiences. Two tokens named CONSENT. Only one will win: https://pump.fun/coin/5dSqxyEpAYwp7rAS6ocwmgyZqYKdeyNjWchwr91fpump https://www.clanker.world/clanker/0x38AEe4574c260855914d9E19221cf4C10B016051

Here's how anoncast is going to go: It's going to be fun and edgy for a while, and then people are going to realize that it makes slander free, and it will get noisy and useless and then people will unfollow it because it isn't high enough signal. It will be more meaningful to say `anon of ${KNOWN GROU} says:`

I'll be honest, this was a crap experience: 1. Getting raced by 200 bots to my own token is just rug-city, obviously. Maybe let issuers deposit initial funds? 2. Uniswap doesn't even show MM as a mobile login option on its widget 🫠

@clanker please create a token called “Consent to read this”. Ticker $CONSENT. It’s about the ambiguous consent of sharing information with expectations of an effective intellectual property regime in an age of ubiquitous AI. Token holders are granted consent to use this post to train AI. Image should be:

I hope I don't get shadowbanned for this, but Bluesky got a lot better since the recent influx. A lot of freshly inspired content producers from a lot of different disciplines. And then the intersections are also unbeatable. Geth Peter talking to Mastodon Christine about Spritely? Goddamn.

I asked this here in part because LLMs were failing, not because I lacked access to them. If your LLM reply bot isn't doing something fantastically unique to enhance its answers, it's probably a waste of your cloud compute credits.
