Founders

Launched as Farcaster, renamed to Warpcast, soon back to Farcaster. Launched channels, speculation they might be doing away with them in the near future. Rumors of charging for "Pro" features. Y'all OK over there?

Any company pre-product-market-fit needs to navigate the idea maze or they will die

More shots on goal = higher probability of getting to pmf = not dying

Food

Life pro tip - print a menu when you have guests over for dinner. Takes 5 mins and makes it way more fun! Also helpful to tape up in the kitchen during prep to get organized.

Bonus points: buy yourself some card stock and a corner cutter to make it feel super nice

Can confirm - printing out a menu is one of my favourite things to do when hosting dinners

fc-updates

Excited to announce an airdrop of Monad testnet tokens!

- 77K Farcaster accounts received an airdrop based on criteria like the number of verifications, casting and engagement

- Monad testnet tokens will allow you to use mini apps on Monad 

- You can also send it to people on Farcaster, but you might want to keep some for some of the mini apps coming soon!

What are the best Monad miniapps I can test?

Today's at @paradigm 's office, we (@socialgraphvc) touched on one of the largest problems web3 social has

ADCOINS

Web3 social is missing its biggest revenue engine: ads.

What if ad revenue was shared with those who bet early on viral content?

Adcoins flip the model—letting users, creators & brands all own a piece of attention.

Full piece linked below, and thanks to our cohosts @mbd 
 (@yassinelanda.eth , @albiverse ), @privy (@segall), and 
@builders-garden (@limone.eth)

btw, one collector will win a raffle with my fav memecoins

Cool exploration on how to tie together traditional revenue streams with crypto (ads & coins)

come to Farcon in next 20 mins if u want an ass kicking

These @bertwurst.eth stickers were worth it for the ass kicking

Amazing event with @amelie /alexandria The Forever Library

Really enjoyed the forever library event! 

Awesome to give away real life collectibles of some of the great writing on Paragraph.

Starting to refine and finish my /firstdraft for this week that’s due out tomorrow 

Have even more appreciation for @paragraph after connecting with @reidtandy and @colin at the Base Golden Hour event 

Curious what @bradq is cooking up for his first draft this week

Always really enjoy meeting Paragraph writers IRL 🤝

Memes

I know I've been in crypto too long when I immediately nodded and thought "wonder what's in store for airdrop farmers now"

if your main critique of innovation is ‘don’t upset the current users,’ you’re not thinking big enough.

i don’t want crypto to stay small and safe. i want it to take over the world.

+1. 

Need to iterate heavily to break through local maxima & find product-market fit. That often means upsetting your current users, which is an unfortunate but often necessary reality.

Semi-regular Paragraph annoyances thread.

If you could have us fix or build one thing, what would it be?

Heading to FarCon next week with @colin. Would love to meet up if you’ll be in NYC!

@reidtandy and I are heading to FarCon next week.

What are the top events we should reach?

memecoins

>> RE: contentcoins v. memecoins

They are solving different problems — but the biggest problem with them both are misaligned interests

Coinage is pioneering a huge $PLYBTN burn based on monthly YouTube & X views + a lockup through October

might be the first content-memecoin

Very cool experiment by the @coinage team.

Content coins that get bought & burnt based on YouTube views.

Drives value to the coin beyond strict speculation: increase in attention = increase in views = increase in ad revenue = increase in coin price.

Coinage is the first community-owned Web3 media outlet. Backed by Netflix’s co-founder 📺 Mint a Membership Pass to co-own it with us!
