Farcaster

interesting farcaster use case: i've short term rented my apt 2/2 times in the last month to people on farcaster

1. high social trust / validation -> either already knew & trusted them or was able to easily check with a few friends to validate that they're a responsible individual
2. easy cross border payments -> one was canadian, one indian. trying to do international transfers would have been a pain in the ass and taken forever. here they sent my warplet a test txn and then transferred rent seamlessly in USDC + i can return security deposits just as easily
3. consumer crypto people have high demand for being in nyc and higher degree of flexibility than my normie friends -> when i made same posts on my private IG, there was a lot more interest but hard to find the perfect fit as i ideally wanted someone to take the full dates

anyway thought that was interesting just sharing farcaster is gonna be craigslist then dating app lfg

We had the same Craigslist vision with Bountycaster but found there wasn't enough density of users *yet* to be meaningful beyond bounties and jobs (@zd had a similar experience). Bountycaster still exists though, @pirosb3 and I maintaining it on the side
