FC actions enable better tipping systems:

- Real time balance/allowance updates
- Reliable timestamps & accounting
- No storage cost for "100 $TOKEN" replies
- Better foundation for concepts like delegation

Existing emergent systems are very impressive given past constraints. But we can do better. (Working on it!)

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

Definitely a benefit.

Can't flex very hard tho. What am I gonna tell my ego when it says it needs to show everyone else I tipped 1000 $DEGEN

Can’t wait to see what @horsefacts.eth is cookin!!

Will not be building a tipping system myself! Working on the tools you need to do it.

Working on @beliefs - most customizable launchpad on Base.
Coding FC related stuff.
Occasionally trading.
Figuring out how to fix my sleep schedule.

Yeah, planning to do something like this, but by popping up a frame.

Can we add "prompt: true" to the deeplink response and call `window.prompt()` on FE side, pass the result as `inputText` to the url to implement Cast Actions with inputs?

The actions spec is here: https://warpcast.notion.site/Spec-Farcaster-Actions-84d5a85d479a43139ea883f6823d8caa

Yes, this is an incentive that might weigh against adoption. But I think it's still possible to make them usefully public for those who care. One person's "prosocial" is another's "performative."

I hope we can find ways for actions to support this, like sending notifications or writing state to hubs.

But another fact is that tipping is social in nature. It’s cool to see “100 $DEGEN” replies. Or am I mid-curving this?

Definitely a big incentive to overcome, but I think there already examples of memetic brands here that have bootstrapped attention in other ways.

but worse distribution for the memecoin? no memecoin will willingly prefer this system

Degen

$degen can now launch real time tipping mechanism using cast actions

users tip using the cast action > tip immediately sent to the backend (crawler spared from crawling, no overtipping)

optionally, to still have public disclosure of tips, a degen bot can reply when the user tips a cast

thoughts? @jacek @wake @0xen

Yes! Was exploring a very similar mechanism override for degen

@0xbhaisaab sounds like what I just sent to you as possible future iterations of your tipping infra :D

Frames + cast actions built on top of your DB + webhooks

Yeah eventually  just having a tab like NFTs or a number next to your name/profile that only you can see would be so helpful. having to go around to find a frame to click to figure it out wastes a lot of time too.

I never thought about the storage cost, but it is huge. We are also preparing to propose the better tipping. Is any interest?

I love FC actions, apparently I have 1000 ETH. Probably hidden in my hot wallet! 😅

Another benefit of tip actions is that not only do they reduce the reply spam to tip, it also reduced visibility of tipping causing tip seeking replyguys to flood the thread.

I think the biggest hurdle currently with real tokens is having people "approve" an amount ahead of time.   I DO think this is the future but making an easy (and trusted) UI is key IMHO for approvals to empower transfers.

Keep going. This is awesome & important work. 🙏

What’s your thinking regarding spec gov for Frames & Actions? What’s the case for staying with FC protocol? Seems like a distinct beast.

what systems/actions would you recommend people check out?  

a follow up — what actions should every caster have on hand in your opinion?

The design space here is large so kudos for narrowing focus on better experiences!!
