Farcaster

Hi @linda and @farcaster team,

Hunt Town has been supporting Huntzy, a Web3 onboarding club in South Korea focused on complete beginners. It’s a competitive program:

S1: 51 selected out of 222
S2: 70 / 221
S3: 81 / 242
S4: 78 / 217

As part of onboarding, we bring all members onto Farcaster using paid invite codes — typically spending $200–$300 per season just for this. Yesterday, thanks to community members like @luckyjerry, @kelly-k, and @to’s friends, we were able to use some free codes as well.

At Hunt Town, we’ve focused on bringing in “outsiders” — users who are often overlooked but are deeply enthusiastic about Web3. They may not seem central now, but we believe they are key to broader adoption and long-term growth. Our builders host Brick Side Chat, a bi-weekly online meetup and project showcase. Next week marks our 50th session — nearly two years without a single break. We’d love to invite your team to join and experience the energy firsthand. We’re confident you’ll see the value these communities bring to Farcaster.

We also spend about $20,000 worth grant pool (our own budget) to the Hunt Town builders by using Clap and Builder Grant. Our builders find good Farcaster builders/content and give claps for them, and at the end of the month, these grant pool distributes to both - Clap receivers and Clappers.

At Mint Club, we're building token family where anyone can build child token from an existing erc20 token. We think keep issuing new tokens on pump dot fun like platform is not sustainable. We can position this platform for some people who love their own token, so want to expand their token ecosystem by injecting child tokens/NFTs from their token, rather than issuing completely new one. 20,000+ active users are using Mint Club and they especially love our airdrop tool. But recently the trending logic suddenly changes and suddenly Mint Club's ranking dropped huge, but it's ok. We still love Farcaster mini apps. 

Just a bit of honest, emotional feedback from the Hunt Town and Mint Club community. I just wanted to make a little shout out so that the Farcaster core team knows what we're doing.

We know @linda and @ted work so hard to make this community valuable. We hope that at some point we can invite you guys on our fun Brick Side Chat.

Thanks,
Project7.

Where Farcaster puts freshly onboarded Hunt Towners and all other new accounts 

I get why they have no spam label (2) yet as there isn't a lot of data to base it on but can't new people just start outside more replies? Please

Yeah I’ve noticed that too, some comments from users with 2 still end up in 'more replies'

DeBank: nerd | Lens: nerrd | X: realnerrd

Yeah noticed that too but I am assuming their label changed to 0 or null

(labels continuously change but we only get a snapshot once a week if we're lukcy)

I’m curious how often these labels change. Could they really update multiple times a day?

Yeah, you can look at the timestamps in the dataset, if I recall correctly I saw changes every hour. Maybe @cryptonjal already put that in a nice dune dashboard

I didn't do that so far, but the length of time someone has a label 2 is definitely something I want to look at in the nearby future

Ah I didn't mean that detail, just all timestamps grouped when a fid was updated (not updates in between for the same fid)
Just to show labels are updated every hour throughout the week before the label dataset update

That way. Good question what the frequency is. Just looked at the data obliquely, it seems that nowadays it is looked at per hour, but that this was not always the case. I am not at home now, can look at it better later.

So, just to make sure I understand: within the same day, or even just a few hours, can a user both gain and lose a spam label on Farcaster?

I kind of get how someone ends up with a spam label, but how to get rid of it within a few hours… or even how to remove it at all, that’s still a mystery to me
