Huge shoutout to everyone that came to the Midnight Diner last night.

We got 100 people to create a wallet and collect a POAP for the first time.

Turns out if you tell them they need a wallet to get free drinks it actually has a very high conversion rate!!

Big ups to @coinbase Smart Wallet for making it extremely easy to register with passkey + Face ID - seriously made all the difference.

Tomorrow we airdrop all the POAP and Midnight Diner Pass holders an edition of @33below headline set.

See you on August 7th for the next one!!

Dear @jessepollak @aneri @frankel et al,

We signed up 50-60 new Smart Wallets here. I asked people if they had an “onchain wallet,” but most are still not familiar with the term, so I had to go back to “crypto wallet”

One guy pulled out his physical wallet that had a metal chain, like a 90s rocker 🤣🤣

heck yeah - what was your flow for doing this? what was the reward people were getting for going through it?

Onchain is the new online - FID 206 -  cooprecords.xyz

We had QR codes to https://wallet.coinbase.com/smart-wallet.

Then I (also @coopahtroopa.eth) told them what buttons to press (create, create again, accept keys, etc) until they could copy their eth address. 

Then they tapped NFC disc to get to the POAP and paste address to mint.

Reward was wristband for open bar

It’s possible that many would have gotten through the process themselves, but not with the speed we needed it to be with a line at an IRL event. With my help, it took about a minute.

One new thing is the “save to passkeys.” People didn’t seem to mind it, but I hadn’t had that user experience before. Some had to turn it on in settings though. 

Another thing, which Cooper also mentioned, is finding the eth address (currently small wallet icon top right) was not intuitive for web2 people. Also they had to click “I understand” on a pop up to actually copy to clipboard, which seems like an extra step

awesome, very helpful. we need to make it so simple that the "tell what buttons to press" isn't necessary.
