I've long wished for a channel on Farcaster that focuses on discussing gift economics and culture in depth. 

Once in awhile I see a cast that briefly mentions a writer who covers gift culture (Lewis Hyde, Charles Eisenstein, Robin Wall Kimmerer, etc.), but I want to see some deep-dive discussions.

Today I almost created a gift economics channel myself. If I'd had enough warps, I would've done so. 

But channels are still in limbo and I think warps are being phased out too, so maybe it's best for me to hold off until there's more clarity about the future of channels.

If someone else starts such a channel, though, do keep me in mind as a potential contributor.

cc @y0b - I think we've talked about this?

Warps are still needed for channel creation, yes. 

But @ted has kindly offered to start it for us and transfer ownership, so don't worry about the warps.

Getting the channel started that way seems well-aligned with principles of gift economics, too.

Yup! I have warps by the way. I don't know if they're needed for channel creation still?
