x402: a new standard for internet-native payments

x402: a new standard for internet-native payments

These past few days have been extremely tough on so many levels. The outpour of support has reassured me that the Clanker ecosystem has incredible strength and I will continue to devout all of my energy into building towards our goal of innovation through collaboration, empowering projects in an equitable manor for believers & dreamers. 

Clanker is more than one person and a single team. I’m incredibly confident that we’ll bounce back stronger than ever and our ability to gather attention towards projects will continue. Everyone will have to step up to fill this void, starting with myself, our team internally, and everyone in & around the ecosystem. 

As a first time founder being thrown into this complex situation, I promise to lead with pride, integrity, and strive to always do the right thing, building in public and taking ecosystem feedback to provide tools to help creators thrive. 

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

@proxystudio.eth 的事情震撼到了我，以至于我到现在也很难描述自己的感受，很复杂而难以理清。毫无疑问，他是一个天赋异禀的人，我以前以为在这天赋的后面是一个单纯的充满激情的人，但现在，我不知道他是在悔恨之前的错误和未能自己向大家坦白错误，还是在愤恨自己的掩饰被揭穿，我多么希望他是前者那种人。我不知道在这种情况下，该如何道别，引用 @derek 的话吧: I hope you’re forgotten.

I just minted Mini App Mint Demo! 
 web端消费起来更丝滑了😭

Once, I proposed a view that was widely dismissed: Is high traffic necessarily good? Does high traffic always equate to value? The feedback I received was that timely monetization feedback can only come through high traffic. I couldn't fully refute this but didn't completely agree either. 

Yesterday, I found resonance with an INTP friend: traffic and likes resemble democratic one-person-one-vote systems, but why should we default to that? Some people understand issues more deeply and should have weighted votes, yet the system shouldn't be monopolized by experts. We need a Schelling point between free investment and democratic voting. This is where crypto could potentially innovate.

所以这里是有一点点优势在，就看规模怎么扩大

还有另外一个点也许也算优势。
我们以前会说web2不给创作者收入，但现在被狠狠打脸，带货和订阅让一些创作者获得了巨大的财富。但web2的问题在于，平台的权力过大（能按自己的意愿引导流量），以及财富流向了极少数的人。web3在这两个问题上能否做的更好？
前一个问题我觉得多客户端可以解决，单客户端解决不了。每个客户端有自己的喜好和倾向是正常的，只能靠不同客户端的差异化的倾向来解决。
后一个问题，也许web3的支付优势（廉价的支付，便利的支付，易置入的支付）可以缓解？支付的场景会多样化，而不同的人/产品在不同的场景下有不同的优势。

I just donated to Helping farcaster grow by looking at Farcaster's data

Farcaster

💭 What if every "like" came with a tip? Now it's possible!

1. Use Farcaster
2. Like casts / receive likes
3. Tip n Earn, automagically

Set up your Warplet to tip whenever you like casts with @tipn / tipnearn.com! Frame below:

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

Dev here. I'm against this.

Two major reasons:

- First, Farcaster, as a protocol, should treat all clients fairly. Using an official name for the app creates an unfair advantage for the Warpcast client — especially since it's already difficult to use Farcaster without Warpcast login, and data syncing is currently biased.

This is different from Uniswap's protocol/app scenario. The Uniswap app doesn't rely heavily on third-party apps to diversify its ecosystem or user experience; its core strength is liquidity. In contrast, Farcaster, as a social media protocol, clearly needs other clients to diversify its ecosystem.

Additionally, Uniswap doesn't face data syncing issues with third-party clients.

These are fundamentally different approaches—openness versus exclusivity.

- Second, In the long run, separating platforms could also be beneficial, as it might better accommodate different regulatory environments, especially if you aim for Farcaster adoption across various regions.

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.
