It’s Hard for new users who aren’t crypto native find immediate value when they sign up, thus they churn

Any reason why you’re using arweave? I’ve always found filecoin very easy to use as a dev

Hey man, would love to understand your 'no' vote on this when purple gave you 15%~ of their own treasury (less than their ask of Builder) for your own project? I see your reasoning and on face value seems fair to me, but doesn't address the above optics. Want to assume best intent 🙏

What's the go to payments API that allows customers to pay in crypto? Stripe, Circle, or other? Why? 🙏

Wow. Just checked -- and they got a very large allocation from purple too. More than 20% of the treasury. I'd be curious to hear how they justify these two actions

Are there still plans to charge for farcaster names and charge a subscription fee for warpcast?

I'd pay to anonymously DM someone on slack, whenever they have bad slack etiquette. For example, using @everyone for low signal messages where there are hundreds/thousands of people 🙃

Interesting. What about those chains feels more native?

If so, I find it unlikely. SVB collapsed because it was too concentrated in tech, and then everything flipped. For the whole system to experience concurrent need for deposits, there would need to be a huge recession like 2008, but the fed saved them. There is no reason currently for people to with from JPM?

Is it fair to summarize Balaji's argument as: Regional banks will collapse -> the fed will have to do more massive QE -> more QE will lead to hyperinflation Sound right?

Is there anything about Lens you're enjoying more than Farcaster?

Historically, I've used ethers only because wagmi is built ontop of it

I've seen the incentive problem where farcaster clients don't have to share their data back to the hubs discussed a bit. IIRC, the solution was to make amps only available to those who share data? 1) Do you think Amps will suffice? 2) Do you all have any other planned methods? 3) Any other general thoughts?

Self hosted is only cheaper at a certain scale. I’d pick AWS 9/10 times for cloud
