everyone works with us for three days as a contractor and ships stuff before we hire them.

when you interview engineers from larger companies, how do you filter for ability to ship?

We use Privy, made it really easy to generate another wallet from the same seed. 

Bridging funds is being handled by Relay.

how did you go about integrating solana into the farcaster wallet? is it a separate solana wallet managed via privy with bridging handled in the background?

curious about your take on cross chain ux

Always hard to predict big waves. 

Our strategy to keep heads down and focus on building a solid foundation, making incremental progress in the important areas and running 1-2 experiments each week. 

Frames was one such experiment, but there were many before that failed.

Where do you think the next big wave of growth will come from?

(Like how it felt during early Degen / Frames period)

it's a good question, i don't know. 

will dig in with the team next week, would be interesting to learn.

what percent of cast views happen in the first hour after publish? first four hours? first 24?

There are two improvements we need to make: 

1. Increasing accuracy, which we have some plans to ship this week.

2. Using more accurate langauge. Your miniapp actually has some very scary language like "Suspicious account" that makes people unhappy, even though the label they get is not suspicious. 

 I have some ideas on how to improve this, wilL DM.

Is the spam label result what we expected? I think it needs improvement.

could you check @rosekeyes spam rating. she was made a 1 a couple weeks ago. She’s a very supportive and encouraging FC. Many of us could vouch for her. She doesn’t speak English so that’s an issue. several of us have worked with her to improve her casting. she should be a 2

Each team picks their own budget and criteria when doing an airdrop. 

For example, a team might say I have $10,000 and I want to target the 2000 people with the largest following, or the people who haven't sold airdrops, or people who do things onchain or some combination of the above.

If we can ask about the just concluded airdrops, could you please let me know why I didn’t make the list for WCT and CELO? Despite meeting all criteria.

There is no pitch for true normies. 

But for crypto-adjacent normies (have a positive association with crypto), it's find the best place to earn, learn and make new friends in crypto.

what's your normie elevator pitch script (still trying to refine mine)

how can i add app labels on wallet activity similar to how @tipn has them?

launching a mini app on monday that supports tipping and programmable actions (like amps + time.fun). would love to enable labels on our mini app too

1. Building something people want is fun and high status for me. 

2. I think I’d be embarrassed to tell people that I stopped doing interesting things just because I made some money. 

3. I’m more motivated by the future than the past. It’s less about how the last thing went but more about what do I want achieve before I’m 40

If Farcaster became the way that most people got into crypto, I’d be quite happy.

imagine your wildest dreams about the impact that farcaster will play in the unfolding of humanity x ai in the coming years (obviously associated with a big growth in members of the network)

what’s the role it plays on the world?

I want to use AI agents from the future today.

you have one wish that can magically overcome any technical hurdle. what is it?

A good pfp is unique, recognizable and doesn’t change. 

I like MF Doom, I used to have a doom sticker on my laptop so I could tell it apart from others easily at work, became my pfp over time

I watched your profile crawl with feedback and I'm curious about your views on PFPs. 

what do you think makes a good profile image? 

what is the origin story on yours and when if ever will we see animated gifs reutrn?

We have some dev metrics in the app today plan to add more over time

are there any plans to introduce public api endpoints that allow tracking of individual user activity or usage metrics within mini app?

Are there plans to bring Solana network to warplet?

I would probably only quit if I thought Farcaster had reached a point where it was impossible to grow further (or if health or family circumstances called for it)

Have you ever felt like quitting this onchain stuff you're presently doing?
If yes, what's the cause?

1. Lowest moment was probably around Sep 2023, had been grinding for almost 3 years and product felt sub scale (< 5k users) and no clear path to growth 

2. Highest was around Mar 2024 when frames were taking off

Lowest and highest moments of the FC journey so far?
