Moxiesplaining Journal Day 21: Publishing In-Frame with Paragraph + Moxie

Ever since Moxie launched, there have been higher economic incentives for casting than for writing long-form essays.

Not ideal for long-form writers like me.

For Moxiesplaining Journal, I do both: cast, earn Moxie, and then collect the week’s casts into a Paragraph post.

But this week I learned two exciting things:

1) @paragraph has a new feature that makes entire articles (formatting and all) readable in-feed as “mini-apps.”

2) There’s a Moxie frame wrapper that makes any URL Moxie-eligible by wrapping it with your Airstack API key. (/hypersub subscription required. See /wctools for info). 

So I thought: could writers combine these things to earn Moxie for long-form work + reward readers for reading it in-frame?

I have some big releases coming up soon. 

It may be time to experiment.

Moxiesplaining Journal Day 20: Family-Friendly Moxiesplaining

In a phone conversation with a family member yesterday, I mentioned that I’d attended a Moxie community call. 

She asked: “What’s Moxie?”

She knows I’m in crypto, and I’ve mentioned Farcaster as a social network that serves as my online home to talk to crypto friends, so at least we had some basic context.

My answer was something like: 

“Moxie is an economic layer for Farcaster. It’s kind of like a community currency, but Moxie uses crypto tokens so it's programmable. Moxie aims to grow the GDP of the Farcaster network in ways that benefit everyone who contributes value.”

Not bad, but I'd like to fine-tune my elevator speech so I'm better prepared next time. 

Have you explained Moxie to non-crypto people? 

If so, what did you say? 

Bonus question: what kind of response did you get?

Loved this presentation from @pichi on yesterday's community call. Glad to see it resurface because I was wishing I'd taken some notes.

Now that I've listened to it again, I'm thinking: could *writers* also use the artist tools she talked about (in the second half of the recording) to build their own frames and directly present long-form essays/interviews/etc. in-frame on Warpcast to both 1) earn Moxie, and 2) reward readers? 

Or maybe I should talk with @paragraph about this too?

👀 well, that’s new @paragraph 

Looks like you can read the full article as a mini-app ✨ 

As a long-form writer, this makes me incredibly excited to be able to distribute my writing in-feed ✍️ 

Will link this post by @yb 👇if you’re interested

Special thanks to @pichi and @wanderloots.eth for calling my attention to the two exciting developments I mentioned in my day 21 Moxiesplaining cast above. Much appreciated.
