Grok integration on X posts is a killer feature. Can we get something like this for warpcast @dwr.eth ? You could integrate Venice from @erikvoorhees

Nice pun but I'm deducting points for comparing stocks and flows in the first paragraph

(since I put my preferences out there, only fair that I put more such content in this channel)

Here is something I believe in + recommend: 

Avoid "champagne problems" - problems that arise after customers use your product enough.

_what happens if we get 100 users and don't have a glasses for the celebratory champagne? let's get the glasses first so we are ready_

this is the same as:
- what if our server can't scale to N requests/min? No need to solve that till your product is at N rpm. 
- customers will immediately ask for feature Y after trying feature X. Yes probably, get them to try X and care enough to ask for Y.

Musk is iterating on rockets that go to space. Iteration works. Do not get champagne glasses, just launch.

this heuristic makes life a lot easier

"won't people get too many notifications if everyone starts doing this?"

disregard, get the people to start doing the thing first

biggest mistake I see often is building for UGC when you don't have any U

Crypto is the revolutionary idea of decoupling identity, value, and ownership from the hands of the nation-state, and (re)establishing the foundations of consensus reality on bits and software rather than atoms and jurisprudence ('code is law').

It's a deeply radical position.

what happens to Farcaster if Dan gets arrested?

Delver at contraptions.venkateshrao.com, running summerofprotocols.com, host of /gloom ☀️

Financial incentives make it easier to have kids earlier when people otherwise might postpone them. Starting earlier increases success probability and likelihood of having a greater number of kids

programming

When people ask "what was your first programming language?" I have to ask whether you count hyperstudio, warcraft 2 level editor, Macromedia Fusion, or MIT's Scratch, before I get to ones that are obviously accepted.

why do this when you can just send me 1 eth and get 2 back

The skiff situation is a good reminder of why decentralized ecosystems are so valuable.

Challenge question @dwr.eth @v : how far along is Farcaster in this regard? If hypothetically your team got acquihired by Facebook (or Tencent, or...) tomorrow, how well would the ecosystem be able to keep going?

need a decentralization rating framework to apply against all protocols

web3 gaming sector particularly struggles here

Foundation should have independent representation and decision making

What are some properties that a token launch should have for you to consider it ethical / values-aligned and not decrease your excitement for the project?

I think that if you think this way, you need to have a clear story of what even is the goal of [whichever chain you support]. How does having apps on your servers instead of facebook's servers make the world better?

there is an equilibrium between two spectrums 

(1) how decentralized something is

(2) how much the median crypto person cares about decentralization

below which no one takes you seriously as a crypto project
