Yesterday's space was another banger. We had interesting conversations around web3  complexities and onboarding experiences. @darveloper spoke at length about building her community createherfest (https://x.com/createherfest?t=v03SOK6ZHusmugyUcU8dKw&s=09)a community to help onboard women to blockchain technologies on Farcaster. Pls give her a follow.
@damag.eth is cooking an interesting frame I'm looking forward to 
@baeshy.eth shared his experiences giving out food packs in the north.. These are some highlights of the space.. thank you all for coming and see you again next week, same time same place

glad to have joined the space & also happy to have met @darveloper! they are building a solid community & product for women entering the blockchain eco

one interesting point i learned was as builders how much we needed to carefully consider ux optimizing for new people joining through the products we build 

technical excellence means nothing without thoughtful implementation for our targeted or semi-targeted ones

WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH CHANNELS?

1. Channels aren’t going anywhere anytime soon

2. Our priority is growth; we’re working on a) improving onchain UX with frames + wallet (network differentiation) b) invites + rewards (increase daily actives users) c) protocol improvements to support new clients bringing their own users (increase daily actives users) d) creator onboarding (increase daily active users)

3. Channels, historically, have not driven growth; channels, however, have helped deepen engagement and retention for existing power users.

4. Given limited resources (i.e. focus), we don’t have near term plans to add features to channels.

5. However, nearly all aspects of channels are programmable via a) the protocol b) Warpcast open / free APIs. If there is demand, we may also prioritize making channel registration available API. Note: moving all channels metadata to the protocol is a lot of work that wouldn’t drive near-term growth.

dan romero is ONE of the reasons i use warpcast. so much for anyone to learn about building tech products from the way he casts.

The pressure which youths are facing in the country is extreme.

Since 2015 when the political party APC took over, Nigeria has seen nothing but a 5x increase on a lot of things, even the people are not helping matters.

A person who earned 300k monthly in 2019 is better than a person earning 1.5m monthly in 2024, and it’s getting worse by the day.

Tribalism, religion, classism, poverty mindset, illiteracy, bad leadership. These things have been our problem since independence, but it has penetrated our roots even more in this generation, we’re literally watching it all unfold in 3D.

An average Nigerian is going to be on “hustle mode” for the rest of their lives if we keep going like this. I fear for another civil war, i hope that doesn’t come to pass again.

Many do their best to onboard more people into crypto, forex etc. i’m grateful for these things, they’ve saved more people here.

everything still all boils down to terrible-led & corrupt govt :)

inflation is the cost to the economic wastage from govt overspend

Farcaster

this is exactly why farcaster is a better place to build. no paywalls just to keep your product alive, and no bs hoops to jump through. devs actually have control over what they build, and users aren’t at the mercy of a broken system. 

if you’re still thinking of building on x, good luck dealing with that mess.

appreciate any boost

Just putting this out into the world for devs:

Please, for the love of your sanity, build on farcaster instead of X.

X's API is getting more and more cooked by the day. Currently logged in on an organization account ($10k/yr) which has automated affiliate accounts ($500/mo each) continually getting shadowbanned.

Those automated accounts are operated under X's Pro API ($5k/mo), and their shadowbans get lifted after human verification.

Read that again. Demanding human verification (captcha etc) to lift a shadowban on an AUTOMATED ACCOUNT verified to be under an organization with a spend of $70k per year.

There is no warning given the accounts were nuked - someone eventually has to say "oh, I can't view tweets under account x anymore" (usually community), and then the process begins.

About 50% of the time, the captcha can't be completed as it requires an email verification code - and the email never arrives.

Just don't build there. It is 110% cooked, and getting worse.
