Founders

what are some examples of founders who built an open protocol *and* a VC-funded startup?

farcaster is my first exposure to such a valiant attempt, and I’m wondering who else did this historically (both successfully and not as successfully)

neuroscience phd, DeSci advocate, Buddhist chaplain. co-host of the /okbanger show and vibe imagineer for /christin. https://reframescience.xyz

Former CPA | Alumni @Deloitte @ConsenSys | @MetaCartel | Now Governance @404dao & Writing paragraph.xyz/@sharingiscaring

I wasn’t sure how to define this either 😅 maybe somehow satisfying users of both camps?

Find me with my same PFP on GH

why would Twitter still have one then? you think they have a feature with 0% usage?

Discord is a chronological feed, group chats are chronological feeds, consumers use them

the "golden age" of Warpcast that the OGs talk about was a chronological feed 

you're limiting your product options because a few megacorp social sites made algos their priority

FIP 171 is a recent Farcaster Improvement Proposal.

Study its progress for insights on how the FC protocol evolves. Caveat: it's one example only out of more than 171 proposals.

Useful to compare with and learn from the historical examples you shared in the Wikipedia article

thank you for asking bc I have no idea what he means either
