📝 Obsidian & Personal Knowledge Management

FarCon NYC

Alignment. Synchronicity. Synergy. Confluence 🌊

There are many benefits of bridging our online connections into real life friendships.

I hope you resonate with my reflections on FarCon, the Farcaster network as a whole, & what it means to build community in a sustainable manner.

I would love to hear your thoughts both here & on youtube, which can help boost the video 🫡

Some thoughts on what it means to bridge micro networks into macro networks ✨

Direct Casts now default to 1 year retention instead of 30 days! 

Our infrastructure has gotten a lot more reliable, and we're defaulting to longer retention periods by default. 

h/t to @gt for pushing this through.

fc-updates

New experimental feature on Warpcast web!

Find people you follow on X / Twitter

User-controlled process you control. I personally found 28 people I was following on X / Twitter but had not followed on Farcaster.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Vist this URL *on web*:

https://warpcast.com/~/settings/import

2. Follow the instructions—it will take at least 12 hours to get the export.

3. Be sure to upload the correct file.

Great way to boost your network on fc with people you’ve already connected with on x ✨

To celebrate the Monad testnet integration with Farcaster, we’ve sent testnet MON to all eligible Farcaster wallets

If you’re reading this, you were probably eligible 🤝 

Pro tip: use it for tips, but you might want to keep some for the mini apps dropping soon

Ahh this purple thing makes far more sense now @monad-xyz 

Walked into room empty of everything except this purple toy (as big as me almost) and a ping pong table 

@chaim.eth 🫡

Excited to announce an airdrop of Monad testnet tokens!

- 77K Farcaster accounts received an airdrop based on criteria like the number of verifications, casting and engagement

- Monad testnet tokens will allow you to use mini apps on Monad 

- You can also send it to people on Farcaster, but you might want to keep some for some of the mini apps coming soon!

It’s great that clicking “learn more” takes me directly to the cast that announced the @monad-xyz airdrop

I much prefer to get instant context in feed than going to an external white paper or other docs

Working some of my photography into my URL <—> IRL video 👀 

Feels fitting, as my camera allows me to capture the deepest moments of IRL experience & share the memory URL 📸

👀 very excited for this after chatting with the monad team!

New additions from a @wanderloots.eth rec—excited to dive in!! 🙇🏼

	•	The Creative Act (Rick Rubin)
	•	Atomic Habits (James Clear)

Cool, that doesn't usually happen unless I'm wearing a fun sweater, and people are more interested in the sweater than anything haha
