My Neynar score is 0.69, do I win a prize on this crypto app?

Saw an add for this coin at the Austin airport. Never heard of it before.

if we're warming the Earth one degree by saying "thank you" imagine what this bullshit is doing

Just wait until it says: "I can't generate that image because the request violates our content policies. Your social score has been docked 20 points, 10 more points and you will lose your Internet Access for one month." ✊

We're considering ending support for v1 Frames in 3 months. 

Why? 
- It has little usage; most devs moved to miniapps 
- It simplifies the protocol for client builders + new devs. 
- It simplifies the UX for users. Only one type of "app" in the feed. 

Over 90% of devs we polled support this decision.

I have not been following all the mini app / frames v1 / v2 details, resulting in a question. How are these v1/v2 changes related to the cast Actions that I have added at some point in my FC journey?

fwiw, of the five actions below, only "Check FID" still works and the ability to change any of them is broke WC mobile.

The purpose of decentralized social is not uptime, it is about agency over the administrative control.

Is there an ETH RPC provider that allows you to pay per HTTP call with a USDC microtransaction?

A network of these running in TEEs for confidentiality to make censorship less possible would be an interesting way to decentralize the RPC layer.

ICYMI: lots of drama on BSky today b/c users in Turkey (determined via IP address) are getting autosubscribed to a "Turkish Moderation" blocklist where the Turkish government can order Bluesky to block accounts. The Nostr community (including Jack) are happy to pile on. To be fair, many ATProto OGs are not happy about this.

how'd that fat proto narative work out for everyone?

DeFi

In the article, it quotes Thiel saying: "PayPal will give citizens worldwide more direct control over their currencies than they ever had before. It will be nearly impossible for corrupt governments to steal wealth from their people..."

PayPal, has a history of doing exactly the opposite of this. Here's one story:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/paypal-freezes-flin-flon-newspaper-syrian-refugees-1.3977292

The author correctly attributes this failure to 9/11 (ie. Patriot Act), none the less, PayPal became a tool of the state because payments were not private.

The same will be true with stablecoins. Without privacy in payments there is no individual freedom.

If Theil's goal is world wide individual freedom, then privacy in payments is crucial.
If Theil's goal is "the decisive path to a truly global pax America", then USDC on Base and Solana FTW!

Worth repeating.

Farcaster

Does anyone have any insight into why Farcaster usage seems to drop off in steps, first step down is early Jan, then a second down end of March?

what if the future of crypto isn’t utopia
but full-blown degeneracy

every cycle gets weirder
pump.fun, meme coins, tokens for vibes
attention spans shrink, the dopamine hits get faster
minting isn’t enough — it has to hit instantly

social media turns into social scoring
you get paid to watch ads
or livestream yourself in a cage for $DEGEN tips

this doesn’t appeal to the maxis or the visionaries
they’re building systems
but the crowd just wants a payout
a moment of viral chaos
something that feels like winning

maybe crypto’s final form isn’t freedom
maybe it’s financialized spectacle
and we’re all just logging in to play our part

🎩

The most entertaining outcome is the most likely

Happy Government Grift Day to those that celebrate it 🇺🇸 💸

This is not a pro tariff cast, but an example of human ability to skirt rules and regulations, and how sometimes that results in making something else everyone really wants.

Something to keep in mind next time we discuss sufficiently decentralized.

Hey! We’re recreating everything you hated about web2, but . . . no “buts”, that’s the headline.
