Huge shoutout to everyone that came to the Midnight Diner last night.

We got 100 people to create a wallet and collect a POAP for the first time.

Turns out if you tell them they need a wallet to get free drinks it actually has a very high conversion rate!!

Big ups to @coinbase Smart Wallet for making it extremely easy to register with passkey + Face ID - seriously made all the difference.

Tomorrow we airdrop all the POAP and Midnight Diner Pass holders an edition of @33below headline set.

See you on August 7th for the next one!!

Dear @jessepollak @aneri @frankel et al,

We signed up 50-60 new Smart Wallets here. I asked people if they had an “onchain wallet,” but most are still not familiar with the term, so I had to go back to “crypto wallet”

One guy pulled out his physical wallet that had a metal chain, like a 90s rocker 🤣🤣

An underrated benefit of joining an early stage social media network like Farcaster is the lack of competition.

As a creator, you can pick basically any niche — business, fitness, music — and quickly become #1 for that type of content.

The big accounts on IG/X today aren’t the best; they were just first.

@nounishprof and I chose farcaster news as our niche and feeling pretty good about that decision 🙌

I’m also dominating the /adrienne content game around here like I could never have imagined on another platform 😂

“In the whisper of the wind, their longing’s cry,
Each note a sigh, a tear from the eye.
Beneath the moon, their eyes are wet,
They gaze at each other, but hands don’t connect.”

opencast updates today
- added basic frames support
- lazy indexer can now listen for new signers from a specific app FID as a signal for initiating a new root target to sync

getting closer to a working hosted instance. thinking of adding some rules for authorizing new signers for my hosted instance (think hypersub or power badge) and using authorized signers as the basis for authentication - decentralized user db

today you have to create a new signer for each device that you use with opencast on, which isn't great ux. would like to experiment with ways to address this without exposing user accounts to the risk of plaintext keys being stored in a centralized db

some initial ideas
1. populate the signer from a passkey somehow (i think largeBlob enables this?)
2. metamask snap for farcaster signers (would also enable you to sign into many apps with the same signer)

lmk if you have thoughts on this :)

Our farther allowance is reset. 

It's time to go farther together. ✨
