Los Fomos

We crossed $10K in 3.5 days. WTF!

Incredibly grateful to everyone for all the support we received! The most exciting part is just starting. We'll be sharing the progress and you'll be the first to see us meet in Paris 😅 

LOS FOMOS IS GOING IRL!!!

Shout out to @patriciaxlee.eth for her 10K push initiative that made a huge leap.

Also to @cryptomantis @ashwinikumar.eth @altagers.eth @105108121  for filling in the gaps 

@stevedv.eth for stretching it

Castmoney

all early investors are locked for 6 months, representing ~90% of the distributed allocation.

the point for this distribution was to raise capital for the agent to run. it should have been smart-contract enforced from the start, it was a mistake but is fixed now.

the first buyers funded the agent for everyone and made it possible.

luc’s been working on @faircaster for months. when he first told me about it (we discussed using /castmoney data for the agent), I knew I wanted to help make it real 

my $fair is locked and isn't leaving my wallet for the next 6 months

Faircaster is a VC agent that finds Farcaster projects early

Yapped for the past hour.. walking @div & @srijan.eth through this map

Rest of y'all will have access to it soon! https://farcaster.xyz/geoffgolberg/0x0219ba53

saw someone talk about how ‘noice hasn’t figured out their airdrop’ 

we’re in too deep with it brother

reply guys

It seems like i am now a particularly large holder of $fair. Genuinely didn't expect to be. It's only fair when its not held in a few large wallets so decided to give away the majority to folks here. 

Bumped up the tip numbers significantly.

*Particularly interested* in folks who share chats that they've done on askgina.ai here.

1) You can go to the top right of your chat on askgina.ai
2) Click share
3) Post the link here.

Would love to see interesting use cases. Will quote cast the best ones ($250+ each).

Bonus if you share a transaction you did using Gina (you will also be eligible for the Gina Leaderboard).

The Game 7 euphoria isn't over just yet. If you had your flair set to OKC for Game 7 then you just received a @noiceapp tip multiplier.

12 livecasters locked in OKC and received $158 in bonus tips for their prediction! Look under your seats for some $NOICE (and by seats I mean warplet).

we’re still 5x’ing all the tips received by  @pauline-unik’s cast today

let the spice flowww

Onchain mixologist based in /los-fomos. Building a portable fan graph, making the best spicy martinis in town

introducing @faircaster: an agent tuned to Farcaster signals, built by me + friends. It tracks what top builders ship, fund, and support and uses those signal to invest from its treasury.

the goal is having something we wish we had: one-click exposure to the best and brightest building in the farcaster ecosystem

today we're dropping governance token through @clanker. think of holders as our board: they call the shots: change the rules or pull the plug. Goal is ultimately full agent autonomy.

this is an experiment in agent-led capital. risky, uncharted, and hazardous. I'm determined to make this a resounding win for Farcaster and the people supporting us!

fair’s in the air

>on tipping tokens & why the pros significantly outweigh the cons 

holders aren’t users by default, but in crypto tokens are usually how you *create* users. every new holder via a tip or airdrop or what have you removes friction via pre-funding & each additional wallet broadens the pool of people likely to try the product. as the token strengthens, so does the brand: price appreciation attracts attention, and attention begets yet more holders. as a whole, this approach delivers the highest probability of attention → holder → user → loyalist → which then repeats as that holder becomes the attention catalysts for a new holder. if we assume rational beings, this will *always* because the case because they are now financially incentivized to do so

now we've become autonomous, and positioned ourselves among the strongest brands & businesses around, as our user base has evolved into a dedicated & free marketing arm. at the highest level, a well-designed tipping token does exactly this.

i understand the argument. i've made it myself. the person who eats at mcdonald’s five times a week isn’t the same person holding a few million shares of mcdonald’s stock. but this is crypto and money & energy become one here. or put another way, money & participation merge. i would go as far to say that any underlying blockchain almost implies financial connectivity. certainly if you care about decentralization, without value flowing, nothing can ever move

back to users, let's look at zora: who are the people using zora? are those non-zora holding, non-crypto-native creatives? or are they holders? how about clanker holders? are they more inclined to clank or participate in the eco because they hold clanker? of course, because they are aligned. hype worked the same way: promise the token to pull users in, distribute it to keep them, and let shared upside turn posters into evangelists

daus here tell a similar story. outside of the 1400 people who grind content & fight on the leaderboard, where are the next 10,000 users? they are farming tokens. they are using this platform because it’s earning them tokens because thats what blockchains do. i say this kindly & this goes for so many folks here who don't seem to realize this: you are all within the top 1-3% of wealth *globally*. of course, $0.05 isn’t meaningful to you, but you are the outlier. it's not the other way around. *half of the world* survives on *less* than $7 a day. and who says you have to tip dust? five cents is meaningful. five dollars is a *payday*

now this happens over a month. two months. now you have $40-50 in that token & are looking into the community. you make a friend. a minigame pops up. then the token goes up 300%. now you’re able to pay for something real that you needed to live just by posting here. now your thankful for the project, for the token. then you want to give back. now you’re a loyalist & you’re recruiting. this is propagation. this is how tokens become grassroots movements, real community, and how people make friends here that they'll keep for life

moreover, we can fast-forward & take this a different route: now the token you’ve been farming launches its own project, a real project, and it's a good idea. almost immediately, six clones appear, but you already have distribution & a sticky holder base. even a slightly better copy won’t pry them away; micro-tipping has brought community to capital & capitalized a community

this is just the surface. the design space is still open. the things you will be able to do with proper community tooling, better systems, and stronger incentives structures its 100% worth exploring. i'm surprised you're not more bullish as someone who is interested in channels, as that is where most tipping use cases become particularly interesting

tldr: tipping tokens do more good than bad & financialized engagement is inevitable across all apps building on blockchains
