Saturday AMA -- what do you want to know about Farcaster / Warpcast?

Hardly contributing anything tangible...  Creator of Farcaster Country Club and founder of /unique-vehicles.

Yes. We plan to add a few of Super's features into Warpcast soonish.

Will the future UI/UX roadmap include features from Super?  The additions to Merkle lately are absolutely bonkers and im super stoked to better understand how you plan to structure the team and their contributions to FC/WC

1. No change in hiring philosophy

2. We've spent more time on building the recruiting pipeline, so effort is translating into hires.

Was there a concerted effort to grow the team in the past few weeks/months?

Did your philosophy about hiring change?

I'd like to see other existing crypto wallets go feed first.

CB is building a client into its wallet. What other kinds of existing “enterprises” would you hope to see building on FC and why should they do it?

Found it in the docs!

https://docs.farcaster.xyz/reference/warpcast/api#get-creator-reward-winners

In that case, any plans for expanding direct cast API for read access? Would love to make a bot that can read and act upon messages in a particular group chat. 🤫

Would you consider adding APIs to things like the rewards leaderboard, purple ring status, and other freshly shipped features as they roll out?

Could be fun for developers to quickly tap into hot features, even if they're still being fleshed out

Update on primary wallet FIP I saw somewhere?

I have commitment issues || I only commit to good vibes

Do replies from other people’s casts affect the Warpcast rewards scoring 

Or just engagement on your casts based on active followers

Not sure how you would define my experience. I am an alumnus of one of the first ever developer bootcamps back in 2013 and also took Python in college. While I have built websites and apps before, I have never really worked in technical roles and feel like it’s stolen valor to describe myself as technical. 

AI tools have been a HUGE boon to me, and have basically eliminated 10s of thousands of hours of work I would have had to do to reconcile some of my dated  knowledge with modern frameworks and tools. 

I also wrote an article with some tips on how to get started if you have 0 experience or otherwise think of yourself as nontechnical like me. Not only do you have the world’s most patient pair programmer to sit beside you — there are also things like Replit that abstract away the terminal/terminal commands for you, really making it the best time ever  for ANYONE to ship 🚢

@keccers.eth not sure what your programming experience was before starting to work on a frame, but curious how's that been for you

DAU -- as high as possible!

•What is the best way for someone with zero coding experience to create a frame?

I know @rish and Neynar team are working on some stuff

What are the plans for the future of ai agents on decentralized social with farcaster. Are we going to be having a distinct setup for how more and more agents will be coming to farcaster.

Important! Why @ted and I are spending time on creator outreach.

related...with the idea of leaning into FC as a place for builders how important do you think it is long term to have an a naomi and murtaza for all kinds of other 'normal' topics? ....to have another 50 of them strewn across topics in the next year or two?

Who do you love more farcaster, warpcast or your kid(s) if any

It just adds another touch to profiles like X verifications. Could even be a thing for the top 1000 accts on the leaderboard

any data related to the 90,000 invites sent out? 

more detail: how many of the 90,000 invites have been used, and how many of those users that did create an account, have made more than 1 post?

1. not sure :P
2. also not sure 

In talking with a few people, the sentiment is "why would I build a client if I'm not going to get paid for it?" Overall, I feel like somehow splitting some amount of the revenue makes sense in terms of aligned incentives.

In terms of gaming references (sorry that's all I know), Fornite & Roblox pay people to build on their platform by engagement. So if someone random build a game that's fun, they get paid. I feel like Farcaster is attempting something similar: build a client that people enjoy (but you don't get paid atm regardless of engagement.

@gregiscool has a friend who made about $30k/month for whipping up a Fortnite map because it had a ton of engagement.

1. How much should they get paid?
2. How do you measure quality?

Protocol fees are dropping to $0.50 a sign up, so there won't be much revenue to distribute in that model (at least right now).

Why is there no protocol rewards for clients?

Like if supercast accounts for 10% of Farcaster volume, shouldn't they get a % of protocol revenue?

Is there any way to see how many invites (of 90,000) are being used? Thanks.

I’ve seen very small rings of bad actors in my channel but they are easy to spot because my channels are  small. I can’t fathom trying to solve this at the network level. God speed.

> Has that fear become a reality

Hard to say. But they will get more sophisticated given enough time.

> rewards

Making progress with it, but not sufficient.

Public spam labels have been live for a few weeks now. I know a big concern was the true spammers gaming the algorithm. Has that fear become a reality or have people changed their behavior to better align with the networks culture and values?

Do you think the rewards leaderboard is working to keep people engaged (I think it’s awesome personally) but I’d love to know from an overarching view of the network.



1) I want to know how I can get a farcaster wallet @dwr.eth 👀

Updated the app and tried refreshing but didn’t get one 😔

2) Also would love to know how long you guys were working on Farcaster before you opened up *anything* to users for testing?

Is #0 rewards ranking this week connected with Unsupported region status in the wallet?
