Farcaster

Being able to choose a client with the best algo for *you* may be farcasters killer feature. X’s one size fits all is a mess.

quick video on why and how to join based around the world

nothing like cooking with other based builders on the weekend

something special about knowing that people are showing up on their weekend for the love of the game

Farcaster is an economy, that we can measure by how much activity (both on and off-chain) it generates.

To that effect I've been working on a Farcaster Economy Dashboard (https://dune.com/0xluc/farconomy)

It's quite not ready, but I'm boosted today and I need feedback and suggestions!

the medium term goal for the @base economy is to scale to $1T+ in assets onchain

Yesterday was a day I'll remember for a very long time.

Thanks to everyone who made the first FC Dev Day so special!

Had to rewrite the poll. 

If your answer is yes, I’d love to hear your argument in the comments. Positive vibes only.

one superteam,
one superdream:
scaling the superchain.

This is a great thread more people should read + engage with.

But the problem isn't about Warpcast being open vs. closed source.

The problem is developer creativity.

Warpcast Fix: Wallet Verifications

@horsefacts.eth patched a Warpcast issue last night that allowed someone to connect their wallet to your fid under some conditions.   

To the best of our knowledge, no one took advantage of the issue on Warpcast before we fixed it. 

Thanks to @0xsec.eth for reporting this!

Upcoming channel changes

We're *previewing* some upcoming changes so people 1) can understand and 2) provide feedback.

These changes are not launching yet. It will be a couple weeks. There will also be a bunch of communication to channel owners. 

After reading the entire doc, feel free to reply to with feedback or send me a DC. I've tried to answer a lot of common questions in the FAQ.

even though i’m open and vocal with my own criticism, i think the community here expends far too much energy on short-term concerns

i think that:

1) Merkle should formalize feedback collection so we can have organized and long-lived public discussions on these topics 

2) the community should take more ownership over the things we can control instead of just complaining 

(i intentionally didn’t put this in /warpcast because Farcaster belongs to all of us 🫡)

I don’t come to Warpcast for art. 

We need a different client for the art experience. 

not because Warpcast is a bad place to experience art (though it’s not great) but because I’m not here in an expansive explore my humanity kind of mode, I’m in a quick information gathering dopamine mode, I flick past things. 

I want a place to stop and dwell and enjoy. 

A slow space for farcaster content. 

cc @usersteen.eth @arjantupan @sunnysangwan @danicaswanson @slowcrypto who I particularly want to see this

I like the simplicity and how these features battles spam/bots effectively.

Channels will require more work from moderators, but they also feel more like communities.

I can see inviting people to 'my channels' instead of inviting them to Farcaster.

If you have my @hypersub subscription I'll invite you to my channels once these features roll out

It is just so much *nicer* over here on Farcaster than on Twitter. The vibe is so different when I'm scrolling here vs over there.

Posting artwork on here almost everyday for the past 4-5 months is starting to pay off! I’d like to welcome my 10 new followers. 👋😁
