The next State of the Union will be Monday, September 8, at 9:00 PM EST on @farhouse for audio and @livecaster for chat on the timeline! Apologies on the late notice, I have to fly tonight and the Union will obviously take a break on Labor Day! Enjoy your week!

Someone has to start the process to hopefully get this place a little safer from scam and bot-programmed accounts. Blocked a LOT of @ user accounts today. Didn’t get them all but premetivly got some. https://farcaster.xyz/jacque/0x0dda786e

As the network grows, it’s harder and harder to tell who is here to connect and contribute. I love how @rolodex is approaching this. Use your own reputation to endorse those you’ve met, worked with, and developed relationships with. Slow and steady will win this race. Had a great call with @what and I’m excited to watch this be built in real time! Check out Rolodex.xyz

Hard agree. It should be fun. It should feel like a happy little treat. If it doesn’t spark joy, turn off the notifications and let it go. https://farcaster.xyz/pichi/0xc56dec95

I'm a complete noob on this subject. The amounts mentioned in the cast below are token x price, and I said in the comments that it was an underestimation. That was an understatement!!! They transferred 821 WETH to 0x7C6E2D3A5794B5ED3F51E3020DA12E15DD1D7DFC That's 821 x $4,400 = $3,612,400 That's not a petty theft (my first estimation was $2,700). Do we have blockchain annalists in this area on FC? I spoke yesterday about being a Dune Detective (in a form of self-mockery), but with these figures, these scams deserve more attention from a dedicated blockchain analyst. One tip: I found the backdoor by analyzing the contract with AI "Is this a standard solidity contract or are there dubious things in it". It could be a money safer when in doubt.

Be careful with rugs profiting from great mini-apps! 🚨The token contract for $framedl has an infinite allowance for 0x2c5415432480b73ac1a0435a72367318fe9ce7e0. A backdoor to spend this token from other wallets, without approval! 3,265 wallets bought for $47.5k tokens in this contract, the scammer sells for $20.1k tokens. It doesn't look like that the backdoor is used atm. The contract address of $framedl is 0x84ab0c1db7e08376c18b70b9dd81bb598a8993cb https://dune.com/queries/5698814

I have strong feelings about the leaderboard. It’s changed the dynamic of Farcaster since its inception. I think this is a really well articulated take on the status of the experiment. I’ve watched many people have their self esteem beaten to a pulp. To quote @adrienne, it’s not your worth. Turn off the notifications. Post what sparks joy.

This round. I feel like I have blocked and switched a lot of MUTES from a while back to BLOCKS of accounts copy pasta on old casts that are somehow still on the protocal yet not listed or in my storage units. I really hope that the Merkle team will nerf these accounts or remove them from the protocal. It’a getting out of hand on how many bots are on the ecosystem.

Made an Dune script to measure if a caster is AI, or not. This may not cover the load because it shows more non-human cast behavior, but it works very well. https://dune.com/queries/5679193 Because there are also false positives, I have only added fids with an AI score > 0.47 to the dune.nhejyht.result_combine_datasets_with_dubious_casters dataset on Dune (2,270 fids now!).

Made a Cast Diversity Score (CDS) to measure unique casts and replies. - Only on fids with 10 or more casts or replies in the last year, and only with a CCS score higher or equal to 0.20 or when they are in my dubious casters dataset. - Bots on my botlist are excluded. - Very low scores are added on my dataset dune.nhejyht.result_combine_datasets_with_dubious_casters https://dune.com/queries/5671697 ⚠️To be clear: low diversity in casts doesn't mean that someone is a spammer or farmer. There are casters who cast their Rodeo top 9 over and over again. Maybe not interesting, but certainly not a spammer or a farmer. 🐓If you want to see the percentage of casts with a certain phrase like "My cock is ready to grow your hen house", then you can use this Dune script: https://dune.com/queries/5674796

shit. I lost my @tipn $BETR allocation since I was gone. It’s really a use it or lose it situation 😞 that and I didn’t get a notification to go out. I must have timed it wrong. If I do it again later I’ll stay gone 15 days just to be sure.

Even without algorithms, researchers found AI bots in a blank social feed still formed cliques, amplified extremes, and crowned influencers. Feels like we have a long way to go! https://www.businessinsider.com/researchers-ai-bots-social-media-network-experiment-toxic-2025-8
