One thing I really don't love about Farcaster is that there is cryptographic proof of every dumb thing I say.

Everyone who was complaining about the auto follow list who is now complaining about it being removed has outed themselves as really just being mad that they themselves weren't on the auto follow list.

Does anyone else purposefully run in the afternoon to get exposed to the peak daily temperature? I don't know if this is actually good for me but I can absolutely crush NYC summer heat now.

My latte art has gotten really rusty being away from my machine for so long. First art attempt since late March. Not horrible but will hopefully be back to posting pretty lattes in no time.

How should we define a light client? Are there particular properties that a light client needs? Lately I've been thinking about lots of different designs with weird tradeoffs and trust assumptions, and it begs the question of what "counts" as a real light client.

All these Farcaster tipping currencies are basically sovereign rollups using Farcaster as a DA layer with trusted bridges to an L2. An odd consequence of this is that since Farcaster does not produce a canonical ordering, tipping is subject to double spends until the token is "bridged" to the L2.

I've been seeing more support for relaxing Ethereum's use of state merklization by delaying it by a block or only computing the root every n blocks. Friendly reminder that without some form of up to date commitment to the state (like a merkle root) general purpose light clients basically cannot function.

Can we please stop naming things with made up EIP numbers? It's an easy way to immediately turn off like half the community.
