grateful to meet so many friends and hang with in meatspace

it’s wonderful to see it all coming together, the future is so bright. Idk how fc maintains the robust url to irl pipeline but I’m optimistic we can figure it out over time (to the extent it can be)

headed home early for my daughters birthday✌🏻

i think i just witnessed someone getting ICE’d at morgan ave L stop

@christopher's cow slide was so good

still thinking about it

FarCon NYC

we have a strong lineup of presentations for today's pizza hang 🍕

- @neynar 
- @warpcast 
- @icebreaker 
- @askgina.eth 
- @base 
- @bracky 
- @privy 
- @zora 
- @cura 
- @splits 
- @unofficial 

presentations will be technical, focused on hard problems and how teams either solved them or are currently working through them; expect some presentations to showcase unsolved problems

see you there tonight: https://lu.ma/bxomr102 

🪐

PS - we had a much higher volume of both event registrations and speaker applications than expected; apologies to everyone we couldn't accommodate, we used first come first serve approach in most cases 😢

come hang and hear me yap about multichain synchronization!

for me, farcaster is the only social ~space that developers can build ~on. That energy is contagious

I wonder if wc ultimately becomes something that looks more like a social media-browser hybrid; give users a smart wallet which works seamlessly across frames etc..

that's probably where I'd take it anyway, not having thought about it nearly as much as i'm sure dan & co have

in a bit of awe at the merkle team’s execution. Incredibly hyped to see it all coming together

for whatever reason, humans really struggle to understand and appreciate knowledge work

imo there are very few fake jobs in the economy

You update the website and realize that you need to take a week twice a year to update the website or it'll be badly outdated and that while it doesn't require coding skill to put a basic website together these days it does take design skills to not look sloppy and unprofessional

If you don't do this work the school directly and immediately suffers. It's very concrete. There's a strain of thought on here that any marketing or design or website updating or CRM job is fake, and - I don't think it's an attitude that can survive starting a business.

My casts are immutable, but my opinions might get a soft fork.

Crypto conferences are a precursor to crypto communities.

one of the things that makes fc great but will have trouble scaling is the incredible URL<->IRL pipeline

Teams landing page refresh is live! I refined the grid of features and highlighted some of our users' logos.

Let me know if you have feedback or want to get set up with a Team 😃

come nit pick the latest landing page design & copy :)

“alignment”

https://x.com/signulll/status/1916605281510858838

@signulll Tbh it was always an issue. You can (unintentionally) gaslight it to affirm almost anything which makes it useless when you need to validate a certain point

@TheFocusBubble it’s really really bad right now. like horrendous levels bad. https://t.co/etcBCmbVhq

an exciting detail about running an nft mint through a mini app is how every single collector has a rich identity 

no 0x addresses in the feed
no accounts with zero info

people

imo the bull case for NFTs remains facilitating more direct connection between creators and fans

saying thank you to the robots is about you, not them. We should practice gratitude for everything around us, animate or otherwise

it’s okay to waste compute saying thank you to an llm that solves all your problems, don’t let people convince you otherwise.

@bantg I do it because we should never get in the habit of letting our manners slip. An interactive something has done something for us and engages on a familiar level, so I say please/thank you.

am i suzu or am i selene?

one thing LLMs have over social media is that you can't really use an llm without an intention

you can't doomscroll an llm

Near-term changes to help Farcaster grow

Everything below will help make it easier for people who hear about Farcaster to get started as quickly as possible and hopefully stick around.

1. Likely rebranding Warpcast to Farcaster; no final decision and if/when that's made we will have a clear public plan / communication

2. Base is launching a Farcaster feed in Coinbase Wallet to their millions of existing users

3. Improving cross-client and web client UX for Sign in with Farcaster and mini apps through "auth addresses"; for the average user that don't need to know anything about this other than they won't be constantly prompted to open their phone when using mini apps

4. Sign ups for most people will be free

5. Post sign up, helping new users get the most relevant feed based on their interests; we will also help them fund their wallet

6. Better sharing for mini apps — links that render nicely on other social media and in messaging apps, automatic deeplinking into apps

7. Warpcast Wallet on web

haven't read this piece myself yet but Brad is certainly right about one thing: the pink paper is absolutely the best around if you care about finance

summary_large_image

The pink paper isn't cheap, but it is a bargain --

Absolutely superb reporting on the biggest story around (other than the tariffs)

This isn’t a link. It's not something you click through.
It’s a window. Something you look through.

It doesn’t take you somewhere else. It opens and lets the world in.

It brings things closer to you. Not out there, but right here. Where your friends already are. The people you care about. The things they make, and say, and share.

It’s not called a "mini app." It’s called a "Frame."

We frame things we love. To see them clearly. To set them apart. To remember them.

We frame things that are beautiful. And somehow it always makes them look a little better.

Because the frame is how we say: "this is something worth seeing."

this cast has been living rent free in my head for the last half hour and i just can't decide if i'd be more impressed by him actually writing it or if he just rolled up to o3 and prompted it to make a don draper presentation monologue for using the term frame over mini app
