Farcaster

Farcaster Pro subscription and NFT update

1. The first 10,000 subscriptions that include NFTs are now sold out.

2. We will publish the canonical data set of the first 10,000 subscribers tomorrow as a CSV for data analysis. This will be onchain and in protocol in the next few weeks. At that point, pro subscriptions will be permissionless, i.e. not require the Farcaster app

3. We're going to send a notification in-app tomorrow with a subscriber #. If you number is between 1 and 10,000, you'll be eligible for the NFT.

4. There are no refunds. No exceptions. This includes people who sign up after 10,000 (and ignore the warning about NFTs being sold out).

5. The NFT will be airdropped soon. We've been working with @miguelgarest.eth on the limited edition NFT. The NFT will will be airdropped to your primary wallet.

Looking for input

Assume we want to simplify channels to make them:

1. Fully decentralized, zero Farcaster app dependencies
2. Allow other clients to extend them
3. No cost to create them

Which option is most appealing?

A) Hashtag approach — channels are open to everyone, channel pages look less like profiles and instead are a simple feed of casts. There’s no moderation — the feed is unique to each viewer based on their own social graph and maybe a user-controlled setting around filtering. 

B) Niche interest approach — Channels are open to everyone and narrowcast only, ie you get no distribution boost. But allows you to cast in a channel knowing only people interested in that topic will see it.

Assume in both cases membership and moderation in the main Farcaster app would go away. PYou’d be free to use a channel focused client for more community features. 

This is not an imminent change, more gathering input for what matters to people who still use channels.

This account makes bags from old car interiors. Makes me smile every time I see a cast from it in my feed.

Why are you constantly trying new things? Changing things?

We’re trying to make this whole thing work. It’s still unclear. Only way forward is through action.

I'm a CS @ Georgia Tech student and this summer I'm joining @base as an intern next week!

I will use farcaster as a place to document my daily experience and what I learn new everyday during the internship.

7. A bunch of wallet / mini app QoL improvements

Small improvement for mini apps: improved transaction previews

5ETH airdrop for people on Farcaster at 3pm ET tomorrow

For many years I have felt something was missing, no matter what I did. No amount of success, hedonism or sanctuary could fill the void. Until today, when I received a Humanscale FR500 rocking footrest for my home office. Now I am finally content; happy; at peace.
