Understand Warps

Warps are warpcasts in app currency. Buy them via the web app and use them to:  

1. Start a new channel 
2. Tip users for helpful casts
3. Spend them to connect your account to other clients or apps

Wrap your head around frames

Frames are a brand new feature that allow mini-app like interactivity within casts. 

This cast from @king does a great job breaking down how they work

They were given to early adopters who invited others here.. alternatively folks can buy them. If someone wants to start a channel then they can buy or collect warps (2,500 currently) to start the channel.

Yeah, I see they can be followed. And created! So much to learn!

Do "frames" have something similar I can relate to?

Ok, so you just have to put a / to include a channel? Is this kinda like the hash tags on Twitter then?

Would like very much to know, does casting in a channel limit the reach of your cast to that channel? Can you cast in more then one channel at once? If not should you ever recast the same cast in different channels? Where is a list of all channels?
