1. We're moving away from initial follows to a purely algorithmic feed.

2. We set up the initial follow system last summer because the single biggest reason for churn was people didn't follow enough people and didn't have enough content (and we didn't have a good algo feed yet).

3. I told people to cast in channels. A lot of people resisted / told me it was dumb. Other users took the time to do that.

4. We mapped onboarding interests (Ethereum, startups, memes, etc.) to channels and the users who were consistently posting in channels last summer / early fall.

5. The list had 200+ people on it, but 100 users got a power law of the initial follows. We actually randomized the number of follows between 60-70.

6. The list was proof of work -- at the time we set it up -- for the users that were here early and consistently posting.

7. There were some early users who -- for whatever reason -- did not cast a lot last summer and didn't do it in channels -- they missed out on initial follows as a result.

It’s not random, follow the design a little for results

Announcement time: this year Ethereum Singapore is taking a different approach to events. There isn't a main event/side event dynamic. We come together as part of a festival at the most iconic part of Singapore!

Who do you think we should invite to speak at Ethereum Singapore 2024?

when i first found ethereum i would have immediately jumped to join a project like PG!!

we've got ambitious goals, a driving mission, and awesome people - maybe you can help us push even higher?

Years ago when i first heard of @trent and his work starting PG i thought - this is such a dream

3 years later i don’t think it’s a dream anymore, we’re in reality

* core protocol consigliere @ Ethereum Foundation
* funding core devs with @protocolguild (member)
* creating artifacts @ Stateful Works

My hot take re "too much investment in infra": there's too much investment in *some kinds of infra* and not enough in others, and what's actually going on is, people want to invest in "the casino" but still feel good about themselves, so they invest in the subset of infra that gets spillover profits from the casino.

Hey just would like to ask if you want to angel in my parallelised slot machine on the 2nd floor 

It’s revolutionary infrastructure, let’s lots of people use it at the same time to… ya know…

Great IRL catch up w/ @fishbiscuit today & got to know @farcaster is a thing in Hyperion: https://hyperioncantos.fandom.com/wiki/Farcaster so cool. Should read this

Anmnd that’s how i met @dwr.eth and joined farcaster

It’s one of my favourite(apparently controversial choice)

Now that ETHCC has ended, we’re next

What’s everyone’s plan for September!

Starknet Meetup next week!

INCREDIBLE top-to-bottom writeup on $DEGEN allowances and tipping mechanics, based on the available Dune formulae.

If you have a question about tipping or allowances, the answer is probably here.

Mandatory reading.

Well done. Really well done. Clever, too.

Has anyone figured out an optimal strategy for this? What about people forming guilds and tipping each other in a circle?

That'll be hilarious

Neither fish nor biscuit. I organise Ethereum Singapore and help at clrfund.  I dont think I have to be who I am on Twitter here and I love it
