There are more than 21K accounts with 🎩 in their display names

Vast majority of said paid accounts should not be accounted for in DAU, as they do not represent unique users of the protocol

They exist merely to astroturf support for $degen, seeking to make the community appear larger than reality reflects

1) Please don’t use qDAU. It’s a meaningless qualifier when the q (i.e. “quality” has never been clearly defined)

2) I said “vast majority” not “all”

Is it comical though? Why? I understand @df and others when they use it. 

Might be shibboleth cringe but it’s legitimately useful, perhaps speaking to the quant behind your qual. 

After all, we’re after the same thing and people just intuit what the numbers point to?

Not trolling, words are important 

And qDAU is bullshit without the q being clearly defined

“Others understand what I mean” is comical

1. Please don't tell me which words I can and cannot use. I don't have time for trolls. I can point to a user and meaningfully say they are qDAU and others understand what I mean - that's what words do. For example @jpren.eth is qDAU

I used “paid accounts” because that is what @dwr.eth counts as DAU

Paid accounts ≠ users.. despite Dan saying they are synonymous

2. I understood "said paid accounts" to mean that the accounts are paid for by some (implied inauthentic) financial actor; did you mean they're just paid for farcaster accounts (like all accounts?)
