The only thing left of PoH will be the fact that it worked for this long. It's proof of history, literally. Amazing.
2-delta (1 round) next gen consensus with proofs this time. Pour one out for proof of history 😢🫡🍾 https://x.com/anza_xyz/stat...

👀 (too bad I is a sux at social)
Warpcast is giving out $5 each day to the top 100 casters. Rewards are given based on the amount of engagement your casts get divided by the number of active followers you have. We'll run this experiment through the end of the year to see if it drives people to create more interesting content for Farcaster.

It's very exciting to see where Farcaster goes from here. Need a better sync/consensus system, one that may one day enable optional sharding of the state perhaps? Can DAG based consensus help? They scale super well. What can you do without stake/points scores? Whatever happens, FC will likely set the bar.
We're starting to think about a new sync model for Farcaster. The current system works but is unlikely to scale up another 10x. Here's our articulation of the problem we want to go after.

You owe it to yourselves to read this FIP and the Storage Extension FIP. imo being an open protocol makes adjustments like this tricky to do, but Varun and the protocol team continue to be reasonable in how they approach this.
We're proposing reducing the protocol fee from $3 to $2 as part of the Storage Extension FIP this week. The plan was to do this later, but it turns out it will be a lot easier to implement them together. If you have any concerns, please reply or DM. https://github.com/farcaste...

How frustrating was that? McLaren had two choices: 1. Ask the race leader to give up the win. 2. Apologize to the guy that lost the race because of your unnecessary strat call. Not surprising they made the wrong call again.

It's pretty frustrating that F1TV won't work outside of the US. What do you guys do when you travel? VPN? Could only watch the highlights of that awesome race yesterday!

Great opportunity to dig into how Farcaster actually works!
A 2 ETH bounty for the first PR that fixes a nasty CRDT bug. You'll be racing against @sanjay. Luckily, he's distracted by farcon this week. @bountybot

So sounds like we all think (and I agree) that Max doesn't want to leave RB. That would seem to indicate Horner (and Newey?) has to go? What a weird spot to be in. Politics always ruin things and we just don't have enough information on the whole controversy unfortunately.
What's your take on all this F1 controversy? Max to Merc? Horner to...not work? 2025 looks so crazy that I'm already losing interest in 2024 😅
