FAQ

1. What happens when I narrowcast?
> Normally, when you cast in a channel it goes out to all of your followers—regardless of whether they follow the channel. So if you’re a /diet-coke enthusiast, all of your followers will see your silly casts about caffeine in their home feeds, even if they prefer /coffee or Pepsi. But with narrowcasts, you can limit your casts to only followers of /diet-coke.

Note: this is a Warpcast-only behavior for now. Other clients are free adopt or disregard this.

2. Are narrowcasts part of the protocol?
> No. They’re an experiment.

3. How long will you run the experiment?
> For a couple weeks. If it has low usage, we will likely remove. If usage looks good, we’ll work on incorporating into the protocol.

4. I want to see all casts from everyone I follow even if they narrowcast but I don’t want to follow every channel!
> Try using another client like @supercast or @herocast

currently nominating myself for a @base grant because I am poor and would like to eat more chipotle in q3

had a blast presenting /toc & The Terminal last week at the USV office

thanks for having me @nik @jaredhecht.eth

"wait but why" is easily the best blog name i've come across

Just submitted my first entry to @daylight.

Targeted casters in the Base channel & uploaded my /toc hypersub CSV as well.

Currently the paragraph post has 2 mints, let's see what it looks like in the next couple of days.

Think there's still friction in people actually minting but I'll track page views as well

writinghackathon

techarchive

This week is the first Farcaster /writinghackathon - the purpose of this event is to contribute to the Farcaster canon, solve current challenges within the community, and help create Farcaster's future.

I'd love to dig into the /techarchive and curate iconic tech essays blog posts, & manifestos that inspired their respective eras.

I'm sure the participants will enjoy reading through some of the writing and will use it as inspiration for the hackathon to come up with lindy posts of their own.

Took a 1 month hiatus from posting on the TOC @paragraph as I was 100% focused on shipping the /toc PWA.

But finally got around to writing up my journey & reflections on the "BeOnchain" game.

Check it out below - this week's post will have more on what I'm thinking about next with the channel client.

The /toc community ran a "BeOnchain" game where players had to mint the NFT of the day to keep their streak.

Everyone with the highest streak at the end of the season received a portion of the 100k /higher prize pool.

We had 25 winners each receive 4k ↑

Play game --> mint --> support artists --> earn higher

Thank you to all 7 of these amazing artists for working with me last minute to make the game such an awesome experience!

@lght.eth @ccarella.eth @usersteen.eth @kugusha.eth @ripe @agrimony.eth @six

Huge shoutout to the 7 artists for their amazing work in season 1 of The Terminal!

The /toc community shipped a "BeOnchain" minting game last month.

Everyday, a notification would be sent out at a random time & players had 1 hour to mint in order to keep their streak.

Season 1, which lasted a week, included 7 Farcaster native artists and drove 1,300 mints on @base 🔥

I’ve been actively subscribed and participated in so many creators worlds over the last months. I must say that even though some subscriptions are more confusing than others I’m nothing but thankful for @gokhan.eth totally weird and dark collection lf characters, @yb ’s neverending transparent op stack community building journey, @thisisgonz incredible glitch art, @lght.eth sick rubber glove drops, wearing @narisofka’s t-shirt weekly in Stockholm and the quote on it still confuses me and the sticker’s on the laptop. What a spring! Thanks @nonlinear.eth , @fabric and all insane creators.

Podcast episode #41 ft. Jonny Mack @nonlinear.eth is now out!

Learn more about @fabric and @hypersub, how creators like @mbranson @0xen and @yb are earning double digit ETH per month and his daily /memes

Losely held belief atm:

Personally not sure if there is any channel specific client I would actually use daily.

The things I do check daily are group chats for Terminally Onchain, Proxystudio, Club Ted which are centered around specific people. @yb, @proxystudio.eth, @ted all have a ton going on where a client is actually necessary.

TOC Terminal is already a person specific client imo and a well done one. 

These communities are small but very active so conversion to a client would be higher. 

DM is the biggest blocker here.

many such cases :)

slowly getting back into the rhythm! 

from last week, we cover:

1. nook’s shutdown, @woj.eth’s supercast and other farcaster-native apps

2. emerging cozy corners like @yb’s TOC app, @saxenasaheb.eth’s /fbi, @ispeaknerd.eth’s /tabletop

3. and hot girls vs @gigamesh (we had to!)

YT and Spotify links in replies, but mint for ~$3: https://pods.media/manysuchcases/many-such-cases-10-nook-shuts-down-emerging-cozy-corners-and-a-new-farcaster-fight

subscribe for ~$7/mo: https://hypersub.withfabric.xyz/collection/many-such-cases-1xbf0hv4m1gjk

Fire episode by Ted and Jonny, just listened to it last night and loved their thoughts on "lifestyle vs venture backed founders"

Also Ted calling out Jonny at the end about the hot girls activity was hilarious..."it wasn't emoji emoji emoji"

Already a /manysuchcases subscriber so got the episode airdropped to me 🤝

someone make a version for this year pls

/techarchive from @yb is an underrated channel.

Wanted a way to keep up to date with what's happening with the broader crypto ecosystem within Farcaster so we just shipped News frames for @tybb.
