Daily Discussion Thread - /degen - April 19, 2025

As previously discussed, we're considering renaming the Warpcast app to Farcaster.

Why?
- Top priority is grow users on the protocol
- The name split is extremely confusing for new users
- So, we want to simplify

How we're thinking about it
- Rename Warpcast mobile app
- warpcast.com to farcaster.xyz for web app
- Open source both apps
- No change protocol name, i.e. similar to Uniswap with app / protocol

What we’re doing
- Seeking input and want to make sure we understand concerns 
- Ultimately Varun and I will make a decision; it won’t be a vote.
- Expect a decision in the next week or so; if yes, we will give plenty of notice and will take time to do this correctly / cleanly.

How you can provide input
- Developers: please reply here or feel free to reach out to me via direct message whether you agree or disagree.
- Everyone else: you're free to offer input, but we will be weighting developer input a bit more since it has a bigger near-term impact on what they are building

Please learn from me and understand. There is no real monetary upside to building a community here past a certain number of followers

I have a bold idea. Can we set up a function to automatically synchronise tweets to w after connecting to Twitter?

Thankyou for the warm welcome warpcast fam! 

Can’t wait to share my music journey on here! 

I taught myself to produce a few years ago as a lockdown hobby and now have over 200m streams on the songs I’ve produced, with one being featured in the sky show ‘The Day of the Jackal’. 

It’s been a pretty solo journey so far so it’ll be great to connect with other musicians on here

Society if Warpcast was called Farcaster and Coinbase Wallet was called Base

Looked into a crystal ball to learn that I'm a AMETHYST. Wow.
