ruburi (ruburi)

I wrote a short piece about Auteur and the kind of network I want it to help cultivate. One idea I keep coming back to: "good" content isn't some universal category. What matters is what the network needs more of. If low effort content is already abundant, there's little reason to incentivize more of it. If weird artists or under-discovered writers are scarce, helping people discover them has much higher value. So Auteur isn't really about finding "the best content ever". It's a game about creating incentives to notice and cultivate the things we collectively want to see more of. I also wrote about $DEGEN, $noice, $QR, Inflynce, and a few other experiments and why $AUTEUR trying to put an economic layer around selectivity instead. https://ruburi.substack.com/p/requiem-for-socialfi

Maybe it's time to pay tribute to the old $DEGEN era by adding meaningful tipping to Auteur. Thinking about adding curator tips in $AUTEUR so you can reward curators for surfacing something you consider outstanding. Tips might eventually play a role in post graduation too, but I'm keeping the rest in the ideas vault for now ;)

Epoch 6 is settled. 125 works funded across Farcaster and X. 1,180 curations from 75 curators. Best qualified win rate: @stemo.eth at 47.4%. Top curator: @speakup with 7.29M $AUTEUR earned. #1 in curator rewards for the fourth epoch in a row (!) His win rate was 15.4%, but 30M $AUTEUR in holdings gave each pick significantly more weight. Top auteur: @mxjxn with 6 funded works.

Thank You. I should have been asleep in my bed 2 hrs ago but i'm up because i'm kinda overwhelmed with feelings and you know if someone gives me good vibes -> i always share them back. I always give back because I appreciate it. That’s why I'm here, sharing this with y'all. I don't think I can express how much I'm grateful for this opportunity and I'm so happy that you are supporting me. That means so fkn much. As I said earlier, I have grand plans for this one. I'm not here to shill or run narratives or other bs (i've seen a lot of stuff and i've been rugged a few times because i was a hard believer). Just putting out what’s on my mind right now. I don't have many public projects, I don't have famous or recognizable collabs. I'm just here -> another human you see on the Internet. Here's the thing -> we need to appreciate raw feelings more, respect and support each other. I believed, believe and will believe in this vision. That's why I'm building Pet Rock Life. This is not an investment. These are rocks. I hope I won't let y'all down. I just want to bring some positive energy here with my little creation. I created a token to fund this project, probably I will need to assemble a team or something since I'm a solo dev. Maybe not now, but in the future. Tokens are locked until 1 December 2025, and will be vested until 1 January 2026. I locked 17% supply because it seems reasonable to me -> most of these tokens will go on funding the project. I'm currently full-time working on PRL right now. Yeah, simply speaking -> if you believe in me -> you can buy some to support me. Please don't expect gains. You can lose money. Finally -> And I wonder if you know What it means to find your dreams come true $ROCK 🪨

I’m looking for a paid opportunity. LLMs are great and all, but if you’re looking for a human mind -> hmu. My main focus is web development. I’ve worked a lot with TypeScript, but lately I’ve been mostly playing with Rust and Elixir, exploring lower-level stuff. So far I’ve been able to figure out and solve whatever I run into, including team coordination, teaching and other interesting things. If this sounds useful, feel free to reach out. I’d really appreciate a share

PSA: a snapshot of 177 issued passports has been taken. these will soon be minted as SBTs (Soulbound Tokens), marking the first onchain step of Pet Rock Life. current passports remain creatable offchain as before -> future passports will automatically mint onchain in the next major updates. holders included in this snapshot will receive their Genesis Passports directly to their farplet in an upcoming airdrop (date TBA) the village moves closer to the chain 🪨
