@kartik few suggestions for eSIM improvements: - ability to top up (have too many eSIMs now) - send me notification when 70% usage and 100% usage - subscription to auto-top up (probably hard, if so having the CTA as part of the notification is good enough)

If you want good accounts to get on-chain for free, make it so that if you pay for someone’s Farcaster account, you get a % of their earnings. You can cap it to be enough to cover fee + a small bonus

What about counterfactual accounts only living in Warpcast? It’s an account like any other, but it’s not yet onchain. You can pay later and commit your entire account on-chain then. Add perks down the funnel for going on-chain to those who don’t churn on this « trial » or have someone sponsor altogether

by far my biggest unlock with LLMs in the last 6 months has been using their native voice-to-text for describing complex problems. NOT voice chat, voice-to-text LLMs thrive the more info you give them. You can ramble for 5-10 mins and it will sift through and keep what matters.

Social networks *will* die because of LLM invasion. Don't believe me? Ask anyone if they would prefer joining an AI only vs human only social network. The only way to get around this is privacy preserving, provable digital humanity. Whoever solves this will hit it big

Okay, tax season time (Canada), trying Koinly for the first time but hearing some poor feedback. Rotki was harder to use than the brief time I spent with Koinly Any alternative suggestions?

Help! What are your best tips to reduce LDL Cholesterol? I’ve been consuming more meat in the last year, due to going to the gym and seeking higher protein intake. Mostly chicken though, red meat once a week.

Not sure if hot take but Farcaster’s biggest threat is explicitly rewarding engaging content. It’s what killed Tsu and it’s what is currently killing X Not sure how to avoid this here with incentives like $degen emerging constantly, but I hope people are paying attention

Just finished reading Nuclear War by Annie Jacobsen. Creative narration style, going through a simulation, minute by minute, of what a nuclear war would look like, from detecting warheads heading to the US to the aftermath. Good time to remind ourselves of this always looming existential threat

This is another thing Agustin foresaw and why ERC-5189 is designed the way it is It’s inevitable that block builders will be the ones executing AA txns. Txn fees are just another form of MEV. All of 4337s gas overhead becomes mute when this happens and this is why 5189 has zero gas overhead https://erc5189.io
