Njal (cryptonjal)

As a Sinterklaas/Christmas gift: an appropriate album to cry with, without the neighbours hearing you. Disturbed melodies, such as the market, so enjoy! 🎅🎄🎁 Download the MP3's here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rft8SO83X2yPU7XeillJ1XS8Odzszab_?usp=sharing Haters will say it's AI 😏

(IMO) As a social media platform, Farcaster competes with many others. As a wallet, Farcaster competes with many others, but as a web3 portal, Farcaster can distinguish itself from the rest. It can go where other software wallet providers or exchanges can't or won't. Revenue from swaps can reassure investors, but this alone doesn't differentiate it from the competition. In that respect, I think it's no wonder that developer rewards still exist. It will be the flywheel that ensures there will be a relatively high number of swaps even in bear markets.

This goes on my St. Nicolas event list. Santa Claus seems to be the most acceptable one: - Sinterklaas (NL 5 dec./BE 6 dec.) with in some villages still a 'black Pierre' as helper. In some former Dutch colonies, white people are sought out to do black face painting. - Sunneklaas: a kind of curfew for women and dating event on 4 and 5 Dec. on Ameland (island in the Netherlands). With rumor about beatings and ballroom dancing. - St. Nicolas (AT, 5 Dec) with his helper Krampus (some demonic creature) to scare children - st. Nicolas manna (9 May): oily fluid from tomb that people ingest - Santa Clause (25 Dec, some countries also 26 Dec): obese version promoting Cola Cola and candy

Challenged myself to make a Farcaster social credit system myself, but sufficiently transparent, and 100% on Dune with available data on Dune + spam labels. I call it "Caster Credibility Score" Calculation is based on: - Activity - Interaction - Network - Engagement - Sustainability of activity over time - Spam label It ranks from 0 till 100. If you're not on the list, you scored 0. And to be clear, this says nothing about the quality of someone's casts. But the value that a caster brings to the Farcaster network.

The Warplets, the figures A study into the percentage of farmers who have made a profit from this great NFT project. And recommendations for gate keeping to limit farming. Due to its unexpected success, it has become an interesting research project to arm ourselves against farming! https://paragraph.com/@cryptonjal/the-warplets-the-farm-figures @sayangel

For who is interested, a Dune query for the FID Punks mint: https://dune.com/queries/6180094/9867218 So far: - 2,921 mints by spam label 2 (70.0%), - 320 mints by no spam label (7.7%), - 933 mints by spam label 0 (22.4%), - 52 dubious casters detected from my dataset, - 0 took a 30 days Pro subscription between start mint and minting. - 346 took a 365 days Pro subscription between start mint and minting. Farming starts as soon as the standard is lowered. Interestingly enough, farmers contribute to the success, but they also have an interest in normal minters to propagate the success. In that respect, farming seems to be in proportion to what normal minters mint. @streetphoto
