On Farcaster or anything else !

If it’s good, scone. But most are bad, so then pain au chocolat

Farcaster, since 2023 ↑↑↑

Any of my casts are not financial advices

what are your top3 favorite mini apps you discovered this week

My casts are immutable, but my opinions might get a soft fork… followed by @woj.eth 🎖️

1. Too many to remember

2. I’m a big fan of @wong’s videos

3. Not sure. Maybe Farcaster is far from product market fit

4. Edit is probably one of those

1. What’s the weirdest DM you’ve gotten since you’ve been on the purple app?

2. Who’s the most underrated caster right now?

3. What’s something you believe about Fc that most people would disagree with?

4. What is one feature Farcaster shouldn’t build, even if everyone wants it?

extremely blessed highly favored always grateful

I’d be excited if PG or Patrick Collison were here and active.

who is the one person you most want to see join + actually become active here?

Whatever your decentralized, borderless, neutral, censorship-resistant open blockchain question is, the answer is YES… to Crypto!

Recommended onboarding pitch (or plan) for people we know who don’t have Twitter or GitHub?

Never Osaka. Other than Tokyo have been to Kanazawa, Kyoto, Gunma province and Niseko

I'm going on a trip to Osaka this weekend. 
Have Dan ever been to Osaka?

Any link to the mini app that does that here on @farcaster

1. There are mini apps that do this today

2. Try interface.social

Can we add a feature where we can track wallets/profiles and get notified if a specific person buys or sells a coin?

This could be a mini app but think it could be a seamless integration to what’s already built in with Farcaster wallets and ticker links

Building /fc-africa. I am the EggFather. The greatest GYM CHAD you’ve ever seen. /muscle /ftc

Have been to several. No plans any time soon though.

Have you been to any African country before?
And what do you think about coming down there for say a farcaster event?

Apparently there’s a new anonymous social app that’s popular at Harvard. 

But generally think consumer outside of crypto is pretty dead, at least venture-scale stuff. Too hard to build network effects in 2025, minimal funding available. AI overhang is also real (most AI stuff is not consumer besides ChatGPT).

what non-crypto consumer apps/startups have caught your eye recently?

At the risk of having people dismiss because of confirmation bias, my sense is:

1. If you’re conscientious and hard-working, there will always be good opportunities. 

2. Remember when everyone predicted AI was going to take all the low-skilled jobs first only to have it now be more a threat to knowledge work? I think people are really bad about predicting the future. Will take a lot longer to happen, even if the technology is available. The real world is slow to change. 

3. I believe human desires are effectively infinite and well figure out ways to create scarcity even in a world of AI-powered abundance. Scarcity creates economic opportunity.

if you weren’t already wealthy/successful, would you be concerned about the coming waves of layoffs and unemployment?

put another way, do you see a future of mass abundance or one that further entrenches existing wealth disparity?

when does pro subscription go live?
i mean what time

Hi Dan, I mistakenly deposited $109 using the (bsc) instead of the (base) network 

The transaction was completed with the following txid 

( INTERNALdbe2ccaeacef4df4ad6e88ae1d2c1e0e )

From mexc to warplet for subscription

Considering the transaction was broadcast on the wrong network but to a valid cross chain address, is fund recovery feasible in this scenario?

I’d really appreciate your guidance on how to proceed

How do we access how keys on the wallet we presently on farcaster.
I've had folks ask me that

You have access to the keys, we don’t. So if possible you’d be able to do it.

when dc apis update sir?
I need access to send users data to them on demand.

The last one I forgot to ask… just wanna ask respectfully, is there any reason you unfollowed me?

Federated is a better near term architecture. Just skeptical at scale. Too prone to oligarchic capture.

People don’t adopt the architecture—they use an app.

You surprised more people haven’t adopted the Farcaster protocol architecture of onchain IDs, but offchain Federated database

So for instance the 50th cast had 10 engagements the 51th should have 12 for a proper score change

1. Eventually, no timeline
2. No. Your score is based on your top 50 casts in terms of engagement in the period. So if your 51st cast is worst than your previous 50, no score change.

When would users be able to pay monthly for pro and do people’s points get frozen for fatcaster rewards?
