Dan Romero on Warpcast

Dan Romero pfp

Not financial advice It's worth pointing out that trending onchain notifications do surface things early—in some cases. This morning we sent a notification around 8:15am PT about a new coin $GHIBLIFY created by @nounishprof. We had a bunch of people complain that this notification was bad and/or meant the coin had peaked. However, hours later, a prominent celebrity on Twitter bought the asset via Bankr. And the price increased. What does this mean? - First: not every notification will keep increasing in price afterwards. Many will gown down in price! - It does mean that our algo is surfacing onchain activity that many other people on Farcaster are doing. - Additionally, we now surface additional information about coins like the creator, the date created and the cast that created it (when available) - We're going to continue iterating on these notifications—thresholds to send, what information to provide—because many people find them useful. - If they bother you, you're free to turn them off

Are you saying buy this coin? No. I have no opinion on whether you should or should not buy this coin. Are memecoins good or bad? Neither. They just are. Shouldn't you be protecting people? People are adults and if they're on Farcaster today, they're cryptonative. They are sophisticated (relative to an average non-crypto person) and are capable of making their own decisions. Why don't you make the feature opt-in? Opt-in features don't get much usage. Very few features shipped should be opt-in / a setting. (Deleted original cast because I got the timestamp wrong—it was even earlier.)

the issue is not the notification in & of itself the issue is you are determining what is trending & that's a blackbox consider a) disclosing the rules that trigger a trending notif for a token b) making it people 'I' follow that bough it otherwise me thinks you are a promoter

Agree with you Dan for this specific meme coin since created by a trusted leader here :), we will see, but most meme coins are zero sums game with the intention to pump and dump it. Now pls someone crucify me :)

Dude you could have avoided all this drama by just offering an opt-in, rather than making the choice for everyone. Not only would you have saved *thousands* of people the (finite, valuable) time it takes to disable the notifications, but you'd have saved yourself the time spend dealing with all the negative feedback.

Suggestion: On Android, you can tag notifications with categories so they can be turned off from the notification itself. Right now seems everything is under "Miscellaneous", would be nice if these were pulled out to make it easy to turn off.

I think these notifications are solid. Not every coin pumps, but early insights matter. The fact that a celeb jumped in later shows the algo is surfacing real activity. Keep refining, this is useful.

This feature also reminded me to sign up for $BNKR membership when I saw buys trending the other day. Not just useful for aping.
