Unclear what Merkle does to protect against sniping.

Who is trading the token before Merkle sends out the notification? Do employees trade?

Also: Just featuring legit people is not a no-rug guarantee. Snipers can buy coins and dump on the Farcaster community after the pump notification.

I asked @dwr.eth how they protect against this. No answer yet

You've made it seem like WC only promotes legitimate builders with their token notifications. Good. That said, the MemeCoin Grift repertoire is much bigger. 

Before you send out these notifications, are you scanning the token supply for snipers? Because snipers could take advantage of buying the coin cheaply. And then, when you send out the „pump“ notification, they could rug the FC community. What are the technical protections that you implement against your community being farmed? Also: Do your employees trade on coins that get featured in the notifications?

OK so some more technically sophisticated actors are going to farm the community of this app based on the idea that some dummies are unaware

You know the reason I attacked Dan is because I want to hold him accountable for creating shareholder value for Ethereum with his power/money.

To me just defrauding people a bit differently is not what I mean by creating shareholder value

lol glad to have your bad takes back Tim! My guess is it's algorithmic, so you could probably snipe the algo yourself

lol i don’t think merkle is having a meeting about which token notis are sent out

Notifications about coins that are being bought might not be considered financial advice, but people will buy based on these notifications and ethical implications and potential impact need to be considered.

not a big fan of these notifications either

Bruh don't take my post out of context. I dgaf if gamblers get rekt.

I care that people I onboard into Warpcast for pro-social causes have to disable a bunch of speculative distraction bait. I care that now my workload is increased because I (a nonprofit volunteer) have to educate other nonprofit volunteers more because of this decision.

Bullying someone into silence (or the wise move: ignoring) and then claiming victory because a subsequent question wasn't answered by that someone. "See, I was right".
No matter how great a coder you are, or how good the point you want to make, this immature behaviour brings no positive results, just disdain for your views and your behaviour.

already I have turned it off and never care about them , but I'm absolutely happy to have you here
