quote recasting because my deep comment in the thread won't be seen: it's not as simple as going back to the old system because that old system wasn't designed for a $100M memecoin tipping worked because no one thought the tips were worth anything as soon as tips became valuable, the reward to farm was too high and we fell into this endless cat and mouse game of policing tips that @bitfloorsghost.eth rightly points out has ruined the fun for everyone but we can't just bring tips back as they were either it's like Bitcoin mining, early on the difficulty was low but it ratcheted up as Bitcoin became more valuable the network would be destroyed if we took Bitcoin back to those low difficulty levels again so how does DEGEN get saved? you need to find new HIGH DIFFICULTY ways to distribute the airdrops so they go to people that actually put in effort

Do you mean a Degen Client for Farcaster Protocol? To me that felt like the very worst idea of all…

nope that's a separate project entirely I'm talking about the issue of how to make DEGEN distribution fun again in general

Ah, got it… Maybe showing examples of what exemplary degen behavior that’s additive or generative looks like versus bad behavior that’s subtractive or extractive? I think a lot of people were alienated after Season 12 (myself included) and while they introduced a tipping meta in Farcaster, it appears WC has natively rolled this out with Warplet. Isn’t part of the fun the novelty of it?
