HIGHER

wild how much alpha there is in the right builder circles

i remember seeing /higher when it was 100 members, and saw ai16z at 1m mcap

not saying i would have bought into either, but just seeing it early is cool. tho i haven't bought any tokens lately to focus on building

Founders

My way of measuring how good a day is:

"how many hour-long EDM sets can I get through without interruptions?"

taking the time to write our thoughts, prep for meetings, and review code, all while listening to uplifting music is just 👌

megapot

Small but mighty improvements to /megapot 

Another day, another iteration

We're allocating 5000 of our Blast Gold to megapool.party users!

They'll let you automatically buy Megapot tickets every day soon 🧵

what’s your thesis?

>they’re gonna gamble

Bigger rewards, exclusive perks, and a VIP seat for our top referrers! 🧵

"Be a founder so you can work on what you want"

And... this is not what I expected what I'd want:

Daylight

/daylight is hiring. The endgame: the crypto ad network - one of the biggest opportunities in crypto. Ads drive 17% of US GDP, and they will drive a significant portion of onchain GDP.

All past attempts at creating a crypto ad network have failed to bootstrap the network because they couldn't get reach. We found the way to wedge on reach - onchain for you: personalized transaction recs on the home pages of wallet apps like Coinbase Wallet, Metamask, Zerion, OKX Wallet, and more.

@morley and I have been working together for 6 years in crypto - it's hard to find a founding team this tight who has been in the industry this long - and @usv led our recent round.

We are looking for two staff backend engineers with deep experience designing and scaling REST APIs. Our API serves tens of thousands of requests per second, summarizing millions of rows of offchain data and terabytes of onchain data in 750ms or less.

Come grow onchain GDP with us.

daylight empowers every crypto app to get distribution & monetize

Optimizations don't make it into videos but they move the needle over time

Here's a small change to our share message!

(New features and video dropping on Monday though!)

We're adding a ton of new features to /megapot soon!

Partnerships, new features, opening up LP pools, and more 🧵

my wife just brought me a snack and smoothie unprompted since she's off today

that's it, just an appreciation post 🥹

"talk less build more"

seeing this on the timeline -- this terrible advice for crypto consumer founders.

everything's forkable, your moat is no longer the tech. your moat is your brand and distribution. 

whenever i started telling myself "focus on the product, stay off twitter", it was because twitter was beating me. its bad for your mental health, its combative, its mean.

twitter is harder than building product. but it needs to be done. learn to embrace the smoke. care less about what people think. especially anon circle avatars on the internet. do hot yoga daily.

lock in.

i feel this so much today after my post blew up

building is easy, talking to users is hard, but being vulnerable by building in public on social media is even harder

ultimately, attention is the currency of consumer crypto and as founders, we're here to win and so we need to do what's needed

👋 Hi Farcaster! I’d love to introduce myself and share about the protocol I’m building. 

I have led products at Uniswap and bought bitcoin back in 2015.

I’m a software engineer, product manager, and dad who lives in San Francisco... 🧵

Thanks to Warpcast for making a very small angel investment ✅

I’m surprised they dropped channels on a Friday afternoon. Guess the team enjoys working weekends

Warpcast

Anyone else wish the bookmark feature was in the share dialog?

Primary problem is I often need to scroll up to bookmark since I scrolled down while reading 

That’s how it is in Twitter iirc

fc-updates

New on Warpcast: updated home feed design

- Casts in channels now have a label at the top with the logo
- Casts are slimmed down: username-only, merged the action buttons with counts, moved Bookmarks to the kebab menu (top right)
- Channel circles have been retired

I like all four changes. 

1. Never liked the channel circles, since they weren’t stories, more space for feed! 
2. Slim username is easier on eyes. 
3. Channels with logo feels familiar, like a post to a fb group in a fb newsfeed. 
4. I love bookmarking but there were too many icons there, so I like it too.
