for the curious: this is what happened (which @runn3rr summarized here with detective eye)
i could have just kept it simple with the notion doc that we had with the last details to polish before shipping the miniapp. there were some few minor bugs and UI/UX elements. i could have just scratch those from the list and call it a day
but no. my unconscious somehow always ends up bringing complexity into the mix, and i had an idea to embed a token into the miniapp and use smart contracts to make the whole voting process more transparent and clean and open. and for testing the smart contracts i wrote i needed to talk to the clanker contracts. i didn't talk to the team about this, i was just following my intuition and creative drive
i knew that clanker had updated their contracts a few days ago, so to test with the latest interface i decided to just deploy a new token. and for doing it in stealth, i created a new wallet
funded it with mine to have money for gas
and then deployed it through their web interface, with that new wallet
i had to buy some tokens on the market to test my idea, and went to uniswap to do so. at the beginning, i was getting 50M tokens for the money i was spending
the tx was not going through
and then it updated and i was getting 40M
then it didn't work again
and now i was getting 10M
something happened, i obviously told myself. the cat may be out of the box
and i had never told the team about this, nor received a green light. but there it was
and then sergio called me that people were asking him if this was legit
and me trying to figure things out and create the MVP for the idea that i had when i deployed the token
it was a pretty stressful afternoon. not knowing what would happen with the token. feeling that i had made a mistake. and that their trust in me and my work went to the floor because i did something without asking them
but it was only to test, so i didn't know how to feel
and today i woke up to a DC of him telling me that they were going to stand behind the token and use it as the official one of for the upcoming evolution of BRND as a place to highlight brands of farcaster
so here we are
with life doing its thing. without giving us the space to predict what will happen next
so the only thing that we can do is to adapt and evolve. and move on and learn and grow
i had lots of fun working on implementing this miniapp for the current state of farcaster. and can't wait to see which are the next things that will come from this goated team
they are friends, and i appreciate them a lot. i trust in their incessant drive to add value to the farcaster ecosystem, and honestly i love the idea of there being a token to back that on the open market
$BRND is a lego block
and only time will tell how it is used to create something meaningful and that pushes the boundaries of what farcaster brands are
any questions, my DCs are always open
and you are more than welcome to reply down here if you have anything to say. we are here for that
thank you for your trust
experiment or die 🫡
----
PS: i sent the seedphrase of this new wallet to the floc team, so all the ownership of the clanker and what comes with it is theirs. this is not MY token. i was hired by their team to push their brand forth
and this is what ended up happening. i take ownership, and am happy about it also. because i think it serves the purpose i was hired for
onwards
