$2048 IN PRIZES FOR VIDEOS ON NORBERT ELIAS & CIVILITY
As noted above, within the Farcaster reference client, we want friend speech rather than foe speech. But really the term we’re looking for is civility.
THE SHORT WAY
The short way for me to explain to a crypto degen why civility is important is to make the narrow
Explored that Singapore stat more closely. Trust there is 34%, below America’s 37% 👀 and Denmark: 74%*. What’s world-class is predictability: #2 for safety, #8 for courts.
So what makes behavior predictable?
Is the lever politeness, or reliable enforcement?

Who would have thought that humans would move from shouting commands like “off with his head” to learning how to live and work together
Maybe Norbert Elias was onto something.
Being civil is not about having good manners, it is about building trust, and trust makes it easier for us to work together, build business

Farcaster is an open protocol, so anyone can build a client for it, where anyone can post, follow people, join channels, and DM. There are only a few out there right now, and we'd love to see more.
A few to try or build on:
-Selfcaster by @genuinejack. Your own client on Vercel in about ten minutes

Everyone says, "just build your own client." Almost nobody does, because setup is the hard part. So I did the setup part.
Selfcaster is an open-source Farcaster starter client you deploy to your own Vercel in about ten minutes.
Chronological, no algorithm, everything behind your own password.

I was able to get the Farcaster client running on the iOS Simulator on my MacBook using Codex + GPT5.6 Sol and goal.
It took 2 hours and 10 minutes and 1,134,938 tokens.
I then had the agent write a guide for other agents that should help reduce the time to get it running and fewer tokens.

I just voted to stay and build a techno-optimist community with the Network School Farcaster core team. We’re going to implement a Singapore-like code to ensure positive-sum behavior within this app, as distinct from the hostility of most social media. It’s an experiment in decentralized digital democracy, where everyo...

This one has been a long time in the making. Both web & mobile farcaster clients are now open source.
few notes:
- snapshot will automatically be updated weekly.
- we removed the wallet implementation because it's not part of the protocol.
- we've hardened this code as best we can, and open source means more eyes. thr
