why?
prioritizing stability, decentralize 1 variable at time. top 2 priorities in order right now - geo and no majority.

this week - we're testing moving one our testnet nodes to a different continent.
next week - we'll move one of our farcaster mainnet validators over to another continent.
that should help pave the way to onboard someone else to run a validator from a different geo.
thanks to all who joined the community call yesterday! notes from the call are attached and we'll have the recording up on youtube sometime today.
some highlights:
-snapchain signers on mainnet next week.
-snaps in the cast composer coming soon!!
-expanding the validator node set with a focus on geographic diversity,

Had so much fun watching the cricket World Cup final yesterday ๐ฎ๐ณ๐
But by far the most joyous moment of the past weekend - getting to see my kids be interested in watching, celebrating the win and then playing for a while.
They now know New Zealand is a team and their colors are black.
