第一个问题：FC可能因为内容比传统web2优秀而突围吗？
答案：不会。它在吸引内容创作者上，并没有什么优势或独特之处。
第二个问题：FC可能的突围点是什么？
答案：应用。在以“去中心化”和“区块链”为底层基础架构的社交媒体上，诞生的应用。它们是web2上长不出来的东西，它们是可能带来新局面的东西。
那么第三个问题，对于FC来说最重要的是什么？
答案：builders，基于去中心化社交媒体构建应用的那些builders。

Finally caught up with the Farcasters and finished Black Mirror S7. I’ve always loved how Black Mirror explores a near-future world where technology isn’t just a tool but a mirror, reflecting our fears, flaws, and fragile hopes back at us.

AI and digital consciousness are recurring themes throughout the season: consciousness might require a paid subscription, AI actors in a virtual film set could awaken to their own identities, a retro game’s AI may evolve and seize control of its own world, you can revisit the past by stepping into old photographs, blurring memory and reality, you and your digital double could be trapped in a metaverse game...

We’re not that far from the futures Black Mirror imagines.

But the show’s real power may not lie in predicting dystopias, it lies in warning us. The greatest danger of accelerating technology isn’t necessarily the tech itself, It’s the unexamined human desires driving it.

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

zero-sum games will always be cringe, no matter how many times you play them

tokens are not novel 

smart contracts & blockchains are 

lesson

As previously discussed, we're considering renaming the Warpcast app to Farcaster.

Why?
- Top priority is grow users on the protocol
- The name split is extremely confusing for new users
- So, we want to simplify

How we're thinking about it
- Rename Warpcast mobile app
- warpcast.com to farcaster.xyz for web app
- Open source both apps
- No change protocol name, i.e. similar to Uniswap with app / protocol

What we’re doing
- Seeking input and want to make sure we understand concerns 
- Ultimately Varun and I will make a decision; it won’t be a vote.
- Expect a decision in the next week or so; if yes, we will give plenty of notice and will take time to do this correctly / cleanly.

How you can provide input
- Developers: please reply here or feel free to reach out to me via direct message whether you agree or disagree.
- Everyone else: you're free to offer input, but we will be weighting developer input a bit more since it has a bigger near-term impact on what they are building

I don’t really think this is a good idea. It seems like giving up a better long-term strategy for some short-term gains.

Snapchain is now live! 

Warpcast and Neynar are reading and writing from Snapchain. Casting across apps is now faster, more reliable and more likely to scale as Farcaster grows. 

I recorded a new beginner friendly video series to explain how this works:

1 month later, still my hypothesis.

social-first, USDC-first mini apps like @ampsfun (pay to recast) and /flock-in (pay for cameo-like videos) appeal most to the avg consumer, critical for mainstream adoption

my current wish list: tip on a cast, pay-to-view article cc @paragraph, pay-to-view compliment (cc gas)

在我眼里，这是更接近创作者经济的道路

coins

try to argue against content coins from first principles.

if a video on tiktok has millions of views, it has value.

why should a single platform control that value?
why shouldn't that value be explicit?
why shouldn't the creator benefit from that value?

seems good to me.

我不喜欢content coins，它们不会带来创作者经济，它们带来的是炒作者经济。

近期看过的质量最高的一部剧。昨晚本只准备看一集，结果给全部看完了。小孩的演技太棒了，其他演员也是，尤其第三集。以及如果我现在是小孩，感觉很难健康长大，但我也不知道如今他们面临的问题，是算在一代人有一代人的问题里（无需担忧），还是算在人类面临的前所未有的挑战里（不知能否顺利跨越）

I’m optimistic about leaderboards — especially when real money is involved. But how they’re designed and used is what really matters.

Wrote a piece this weekend - "The New Moat: Memory"

Memory challenges the frequently repeated Silicon Valley belief that AI lacks defensibility. 

Spend five minutes at a Bay Area investor dinner and you'll hear that take. That was lazy thinking.

At some point I’ll also add the ability to share an individual song with its preview, something I’ve wanted for a while

AMPS FOR ALL

1) Starting tomorrow, anyone can buy recasts from their followers via @ampsfun 

2) If you're already registered, there's nothing more you need to do to be eligible to earn. Some users, like @tldr, have already earned hundreds of dollars by simply registering their profile and setting their recast price. 

3) If you're not registered, you can do so by visiting the miniapp. This will give people you follow the ability to buy likes and recasts from you for a fee. 

4) Our priority with this rollout is to expand the number of buyers and help our registered signers earn more. 

5) However, with more buyers comes bad actors. We have implemented several anti-spam measures to maintain quality. We'll be actively monitoring this week to make sure posts meet our quality standards and reacting quickly if we see something we don't like.

This is a project I truly want to see succeed—not just for the price action, but to prove that this approach can actually work.
