Out sick. If I owe you a response to something, thanks for your patience.

I've been preoccupied elsewhere, come briefly check Farcaster and see I’ve been earning $. 

That's a huge unlock for stickiness and growing MAU.

Still alive. Still here. Life getting in the way.

@horsefacts.eth just outbid @phil, who walked him through our mini app on a livestream earlier today. You know what they say...

You can lead a horse to $QR, but you can't stop them from outbidding you. https://qrcoin.fun

Really cool experiment by @jake.

People on CT criticizing content coins likely aren’t one of 700M living on <$3 / day.

The true life-changing potential of web3 is for the billions born into environments without access to economic opportunity.

Web3 MUST succeed. This is my why.

CT amazes me. The same cycle plays out over and over and over again.

Blindly ape into a coin.

Experiment: I’m developing a mini app from my phone with Manus.im. Let’s see how this goes.

Will post updates and observations in the comments.

clanker interface case study: bankr 

bankr is live with a farcaster, x trading terminal enabling users to swap in natural language on social feeds. powered by @privy server wallets 

bankr is also live as a @clanker interface, deploying coins using clanker's backend & smart contracts. With each deployment, bankr earns 40% of the LP fees generated on the token, creator also earns 40% and Clanker team earns 20%.

example token: $drb debtreliefbot, deployed by grok via bankr on X 

trading volume: $2.1m in >4 hours 
uncollected fees $35,157
grok earnings: $14,062
bankr rev: $14,062
clanker rev: $7,031

build with bankr, help creators win (even when they are @elon musk's bot on X, and earn 

can't just say "we win together," put it onchain

Incredible. 
Natural language, in-feed swaps.

My one-liner describing Farcaster to the soon-to-be web3 initiated: 

It's an emerging digital city, with everything you'd expect: different cultures and communities, friends, shopping, investing, entertainment, business building, and more.

Stumbled across this note from 2019 in my journal. It’s fun to find old nuggets!

- Decentralized social networks (Farcaster) 

- Microtransactions monetizing one’s daily life (WC leaderboard rewards, Zora “coining,” degen, amps.fun, and so many more) 

- The result: a new de facto social safety net (yet to come?)

Awesome getting to hang out with you all last night - what a great crew!
