Serpin Taxt on Farcaster

Serpin Taxt pfp

maybe there's more to this and I'm being too spicy but am I the only one who feels like the new cb wallet app is sort of vampire attacking the farcaster client? maybe it's by design? from afar it feels very odd, especially given double notifications, double places to reply, etc. not a normal pattern I guess

the whole point of @farcaster is to be an open protocol that has multiple clients. we've spent the last 3 years contributing to @farcaster across every part of the base team and now we're building the second scaled client for it. the goal is to take all of our resources and energy and insights and massively grow the pie of who's using onchain social products. so proud and grateful to be building alongside @dwr.eth, @v, and their whole team. still day one.

I'll see your conspiracy theory and raise you this: The whole Base blockchain is a vampire attack on Ethereum.

I think you’re just reacting to the fact that there’s actually a viable alternate client for the first time

I think it would be a gift to us all if the Merkle client wasn't the most popular and they could focus on the protocol layer vs the application layer.

its not vampire attacking when you realise it's all the same coinbase mafia. Dan was employee 10 at coinbase. many of the people on Merkle Manufactory are ex-coinbase too. It's a synergetic effort, Farcaster has folded on trying to make a client (warpcast -> and rebranded to just farcaster), now as a protocol they'd get strength if bigger players build other clients, and can say with a straight face that they don't control the whole stack but the trick is it's all coinbase mafia after all

first time I saw it I was amused like do they just port farcaster there and added only fantasy app (exclusively)?
