Technowatermelon. Elder Millenial. Building Farcaster. 

nf.td/varun

I was at a social event last night with Hollywood types. They were very interested in the intersection of crypto and media.

They were just as excited about Farcaster, specially as I explained how the Merkle team did a tremendous job at abstracting away the Ethereum identity layer (wallets, private keys) and financial layer (payments). But the fee to join was still too high a hurdle for them. 

I’ll be gifting them all accounts but @dwr.eth @v should consider removing it altogether to accelerate onboarding. Beyond being there to discourage bots (it doesn’t) I don’t think it serves a valuable enough purpose, and keeps good people away.

Also, more soon about my plans for developing better crypto narratives with Hollywood.

Creatives don’t want to make their entire community pay $5 each to move

Yup, it’s already hard enough to onboard tradmedia communities we’ve built outside crypto to crypto native apps and is only worsened by charging upfront fees.
