AMA on Farcaster / Warpcast / Super / Base

What's on your mind?

Co-founder @bountycaster (bountycaster.xyz). Co-producer @ethereumfilm. Previously co-founder of Scalar Capital and product at Coinbase

Will Warpcast make it easier to switch between accounts on both web and mobile now that super isn't available for that? :)

Since super is joining with warpcast
Can we get some nice upgrades from super like scheduled casts?

will joining warpcast increase our chances of making farcaster relevant vs building interface on our own?

A lot of that is work-in-progress / their story to tell.

My understanding is frames will work on CBW the same way they work on Warpcast today.

"Ship a frame, have it run in any Farcaster client"

What further details can you share about the Coinbase Wallet Partnership? 

What is their feed going to look like? 
Are they running their own algorithm? 
Are they prioritizing casts with frames?

What question should I be asking that I might not be thinking about?

Farcaster clients worth checking out

Whatever your decentralized, borderless, neutral, censorship-resistant open blockchain question is, the answer is YES… to Crypto!

Focus is on EVM for now. 

Better to be winning in a single front war than trying to fight a two front war.

Does FC have any (near term plans) to be more chain-agnostic and integrate Solana, Bitcoin L2s and Move-based protocols?

No plans right. 

Feels like a lot of overhead for not a lot of gain—right now.

Long term, would love to see a credibly neutral way to govern the protocol. 

But sequencing is important.

Any changes at the foundation or in protocol governance on the way?

Congrats. Big big big. 💜

Warps are a way to do a limited set of onchain actions in an App Store compliant manner.

We're planning on reducing the storage fee by 90%

What you think about warps ? Is it possible to run warpcast without storage fee?

Existing user bases are pretty different. As CBW Farcaster integration matures, would expect more "competition", but that's an overall win for the protocol.

Merkle is optimizing for what's best for the protocol long term.

how do you think CBW and Warpcast will differentiate 

seems like both are wallets+farcaster feeds and would compete for the same part of the user attention pie

does super anon disappear with this new update?

Chief Fire Fighter @Intract. Curious about incentive distribution, AI Agents & more...

Working on a few initiatives. Would expect medium following from other networks to be more likely.

any dedicated plan to get high following accounts from other networks here?

FC is already a subscription with storage.

For WC, something we've wanted to do since the beginning. But not high priority.

FC and WC could go for subscription service?

cast it
share with others and get them to cast it
link it here so I can boost it

After publishing a new mini-app, what's the best way to help push it out on Coinbase Wallet and on here?

Other than just obviously making the mini-app fun, easy, and worthwhile to use.

Does follower count matter in terms of how it gets distributed?

Plenty of examples where normal use protocol / client with different names:

Email / Gmail
Web / Chrome

And in crypto:

Ethereum / MetaMask 
Solana / Phantom

Does the cumbersome explanation between “Farcaster” and “Warpcast” worry you at all when onboarding new users?

Should work fine? Is there something about frame UX today on Warpcast that's not working for you?

How well do you think frames UX scales across different clients?

First and foremost, congratulations to the Super and Warpcast teams! I’ve heard great things about Supercast and hope that those unique advantages can be seamlessly added to Warpcast

Now for business, why is @superanon a part of the Warpcast rewards program? It was already a fringe case prior to an acquisition, seems obvious it should not be a part of rewards any longer.

Further, business accounts like @coinbasewallet sitting in the top 10-25 ranks makes no sense. Why would CB wallet get a $100 or $300 reward, what good does that do?

These should be rewards for actual users imo, easy changes to make
