Dan Romero on Warpcast

Dan Romero pfp

Have seen a few casts recently on how we should attract more developers to Farcaster In talking to developers building on Farcaster today—and developers who built on Farcaster previously and then stopped—the top request is more users. Why more users? - More users on Farcaster means more people to potentially use their product - If the product is a business, more usage means more opportunity to make money - Acquiring users for an app or service is *really* hard

So what are you doing to attract more users? 1. Continue to iterate on and scale opportunities for users to make money — Farcaster native assets, frames, USDC rewards, etc. 2. Continue to work on the the core features of the social network. These features create retention. 3. Additionally, we're scaling the underlying protocol with Snapchain. The current version of Hubs don't scale another 10x. That's what we are focused on. There are no other priorities at the moment.

I’ve been curious about the scaling on hubs and a timeline… got the feeling there was a hesitancy to push in part because of this bottleneck. Is it a limiting factor in reality? Or not really an big issue just a background necessity.

@accountless.eth had an interesting idea of acquiring Yap for cross posting, leading users who are dedicated to other social apps into fc circles

Excited to see this is a priority! Just onboarded my wife yesterday and am slowly chipping away at convincing a few X maxis in my circle. Finding them cozy corners here right away has been the biggest challenge. Starting today, I’m running a 30-day experiment: shifting the time I usually spend on X over to here. I’ll be documenting the experience and sharing it with friends as I go. Let’s see how it goes!

Word of mouth is so powerful and then the welcoming process is so important. I literally learnt about FC from a friend offline. I wonder should there be meetups in real life with streaming options that could be very very useful

You know, as someone who is “in the space” I don’t hear much about this app if I don’t remember to open it (and it competes with so many other apps). I know it seems weird to be more active on Twitter, but probably need some way to drive the user base until it starts growing naturally ?

I like #1 because Farcade brought me back to this platform. Adding more integrations will surpass X in functionality as a super app (e-commerce for example).

By publishing and advertising on other platforms, we can also help farcaster grow.

Me, i created interesting content outside of crypto. Many people use Warpcast and other social fi hopping to get airdrop or good chance to make money. I treat it as good social network so i post content which is not related to crypto but other aspects of like. Currently i am writing about wonderful plants :)
