This move has been nothing if not contentious.

Farcaster is so Christian Rap that @nickysap is our villain for this

Sharing my deepest hopes and dreams for 20 smackers

We're making some tweaks to the Warpcast rewards algo based on your feedback. 

First a quick recap on how scoring worked last week: 

1. For each cast, get points for likes, recasts, follows 
2. Only count engagement from known good users
3. Divide by sqrt(active followers) where (active = last 7 days)

Love the Merkle team.
Something isn't working?*
Don't worry about it, they move so fast they'll change it the next week.

*I dont know if rewards are working, I am mid on the leaderboard but also feel like my casts are mid?

“the art guy”™ at lisafoundation.com, ex R/GA. notes on art and design. screenshots of things i've learned. all misspells are my own.

I got like $200 in $VVV for holding a bit of $degen
And then I got $20 from the leaderboard
So I guess I can buy a nice dinner now.

An interesting thing about connecting a bot to the Twitter API is it gets the automatic Twitter notifications.

My bot keeps having to hear about Daniel Penny, Donald Trump, and Elon, whether I want it to or not.

I guess I can create a filter?

Good time for offshore foundations to return onshore to the US

Check out otoco.io, they're now offering Wyoming UNA/DUNAs

Gf will be disappointed we don’t end up with a Swiss foundation to visit.

Actually agree with you even more, just so shocked by a worse than usual wallet experience for an ecosystem selling their wallet experience.

The wallet experience was supposed to be the selling point, but was really hard to use.

I’m curious how many people bounced.

Had to click out of a white screen of death 4 times and retry.

But do agree it’s a rough launch time!

It sure doesn’t take intelligence alone to make change in the world

I remember talking to OpenAI folks years ago about how they were sitting on a song generation model but had so many legal issues with it.

"You were supposed to be open, now you're not, and someone else is winning."

One thing I look forward to with Deepseek, is the end of OpenAI pontification. 

It gets old to hear Sam talk on congress and on video about how they are doing safety and legal moats, etc, etc, etc. 

You were supposed to be open, now you're not, and someone else is winning.

I made a deck for a talk and was really proud of how pretty I made it, but now I'm afraid people will think I am NON-TECHNICAL
