A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

i believe that $hackathon is a big idea and has lots of potential

because of that, and to safeguard my personal integrity and mental peace i did not -and won’t- buy any of it

i don’t want my finances to be tied to its potential. i want to be able to help develop the project without that noise

freedom > money

I love this idea so much, and I love your principles 🙌

i can't stop thinking about something:

i want to have 3 farcaster native projects sponsors per week. and i want orbiter to be one of the sponsor of the first week

the prize being "one year of orbiter" for free for the winner

wdyt? cc @stevedylandev.eth 

if you like the idea -absolutely not hard feelings if you dont- which are the other 2 projects you want to see next to orbiter?

This might be something we can do! Let me chat with Steve and come back to you today

amazing. i will be here, deploying on orbiter as usual

Let's do it! The winner gets a year of Orbiter Launch for free. And we can help you brainstorm two other projects. Neynar comes to mind, but we can keep thinking.

would be okay giving N months free for Neynar subscription as well 

Can get back with ideal value for N

working @ /neynar   🪐  casting @ /rish

N = 12 sounds good as prize money but, somewhat counterintuitively, it's actually bad for everyone involved 

it reduces urgency - if you have something that's valid for 12 months, you can delay starting the work by a few months because you still have 6 months remaining after that 

what you want is for the experimentation to start immediately. the ideal way to do this is to have N = 2 and if there's usage those two months, it automatically gets extended for the next two months and so on for a total of 12 months 

however, if there's no usage, then it automatically gets cancelled after that 2 month period; you snooze you lose
