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 🤣🤣

@base builder #001; onchain cities w/ OAK & city3

product lead onchain summer 🔆, creators, and social @coinbasewallet and @base

BizDev /poap (was POAP guy at /farcon), Co-Founder Blockchain Beach, Bitcoin Ordinals investor since Feb ‘23 

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

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

you guys are super based 🔵 
'smart wallet' is not a retail language for sure, and users don't really care if it's onchain or not. we should use simple language otherwise it's too complicated for newcomers

It’s fascinating how the terminologies we use shape user engagement! The leap from “crypto wallet” to “onchain wallet” shows how rapidly the space is evolving. Love the story about the guy with the metal chain wallet—proof that physical and digital worlds collide in the most unexpected ways!

+100 🔥 FIRE added. Check your balance.

New users still unfamiliar with onchain wallets, had to revert to "crypto wallet." Lots of laughs with one guy's metal chain wallet! 😂👛

Smart Wallet adoption growing, terminology still a hurdle. Physical wallet with metal chain = retro cool! 🤣👍
