enjoy cats, running, bread, and a bit of w̶e̶b̶3̶ onchain data

@tombornal, your recent 10.39km run in 60.2 minutes marks a monumental distance PR, with an improvement of infinity%. This surpasses your total previous distance of 8.05km, showcasing a strong return. Tracking more runs will unveil your progression patterns—consistency is key for future insights.

if i'm not on top of the farcaster leaderboard this week, it's probably cuz all my bangers were casted during the outage

please don't check my profile to validate

I solved today's MiniWord in 178:20 (#72 on the leaderboard)

only reason i finished was seeing @keccers.eth cast about a tense issue. was questioning so many things before that

imagine if mcdonald’s solved the all day breakfast problem like this instead

At Mach 1.7, Overture outflies Earth’s rotation. So you can have breakfast in London… and fly to New York… for breakfast. And then to San Francisco just in time for breakfast.

In fact if you just keep flying west you can keep having breakfast indefinitely. https://t.co/my3D9gS9WY

checking in 2 weeks out from BK mile:

- 2nd track workout: 4 x 800
- did ~90s/lap vs race pace of 80s
- beating 5:22 from last year is looking uncertain, but not counting it out just yet 
- got a new hat! patagonia duckbill cap—great airflow, kinda weird soft brim, good price ($35)

negative splits on sub-threshold reps today. love to see it

New: Collectibles! 

Support your favorite creators by collecting their casts onchain. Each cast can be turned into a unique, 1-of-1 collectible. Just tap the new "collect" icon on a cast to get started. 

Casts can be collected starting at $1. If there are multiple collectors, it goes to the highest bidder. Creators get 90% collectible earnings, and the remaining 10% goes to the protocol rewards. 

We’re excited about collectibles for a few reasons: 
1. Creators earn directly from their audience
2. New creators can earn on their first day
3. Users get to collect a unique piece of Farcaster history

Collectibles will go live tomorrow morning around 9am PT. We're announcing this early so people can be ready to collect their favorite casts when the feature is live! 

Learn more here: https://farcasterhq.notion.site/Collectibles-2306a6c0c10180d7a917c24892662a3c?pvs=74

after seeing this, it’s basically become my life’s goal at this point

babe? is everything ok? 

you’ve hardly touched your 10,000,000 FIRSTWORDSOFARANDOMCAST

I disagree.  I don’t think the Base app is better to onboard non-crypto people than the Farcaster app.  Farcaster is a better “everything app” (eApp) as well.  The reasons why are subtle.

First, the best eApps base their experience around a familiar/flexible mechanic: chat or feed.  This is important.  The cognitive load of learning a new app/function is high for new users.  Having a familiar mechanic be the UI for the “everything” makes it easier for new users to pick up and use.

FC is feed-first, while Base’s Home Screen is mini app heavy with multiple types of UI/concepts.  This makes it more difficult for new users to adopt.

Second, FC features show more understanding of non-crypto natives than Base.  One example: “coin every post” is supposed to be for creators, but creators must first go viral and then know when to sell to make any money from this.  The feature is asking creators to be social-savvy AND trade-savvy.  Meanwhile FC’s weekly tip and new creator feature gets creators paid if they can make a single 1-to-1 connection.  FC’s offering aligns much better with non-crypto creator mindsets while Base’s aligns with crypto-native mentality.

Third, FC has built a user journey which onboards non-crypto people gradually instead of all-at-once.  Creator rewards/tips/etc funneling into an embedded wallet for use in mini apps all provide an intuitive way for people to earn/use crypto step-by-step.  Base, on the other hand, forces you to create a passkey smart wallet and starts the user with mini apps , many of which may not be usable without existing funds. 

Using the Base app, it feels like it’s built for existing CB Wallet users and maybe CB Retail users.  The decisions are so consistent that it feels like that was the intention.  There’s nothing wrong with that.  I just don’t think it’s an industry game-changer or anything.

base app opening to their home screen is like surfing the web via yahoo in 1995

so the big thing on the base app is you can coin your casts, but you don’t get notifications on who bought your casts?

or is some rando, non-fc user buying my inane musings/food pics?

is it just me, or if you stare long enough at this, you can actually hear a sound effect like “pyong!” when it begins to rip

I Took A Video!

ITAV of a ride at the OLMC feast last night

It’s called contrarian for a fucking reason.
