I actually like the storage model where everything is an account. Makes it pretty easy to pick up. Haven't written any programs yet though. 

The RPCs don't feel as robust. Using Helius, but calls are slower than on an EVM and have random failures from time to time so have to account for that.

Indexing is a huge pain because of the insane amount of transactions (good problem for the network). Took me about a week to build a token indexer that can even stay at head. Storage, and in turn costs, grow pretty quickly though.

Need to index myself because no good APIs available for consumer-oriented general-purpose token data. 

Before I even started the exploration, had so many EVM people telling me how much it sucks. And overall, it's honestly not bad at all. Most of the people talking negatively about Solana dev either (1) have never actually built anything there or (2) weren't around for EVM dev when it was the same age as Solana.

Posted some thoughts about building around Solana the other day. Only been a week, so I still have a lot to learn about the ecosystem

are the people who compete here for the little warpcast rewards payouts aware that X pays out multitudes .. like thousands of dollars? i guess its for the culture right? dont get me wrong i love farcaster but its interesting to see cause its definitely below minimum wage for the amount of work so its fascinating

good luck getting 5M impressions in 3 months as a smaller account

you can earn a reward on the warpcast leaderboard in the first week here with <1,000 followers

you might wonder: can we stop him?

the answer, sadly, is no!

this past week has been crazy!!! 

> i posted a base onboarding video which got 193k views on X and a base grant 

> was invited to speak at the manchester blockchain alliance about how im using onchain tools as a creator 

> secured a creator grant from an exciting project to some make more creative onboarding videos ( will reveal more on this soon !! ) 

> voted top 3 builder by the $hunt ecosystem 

> many different projects have reached out for me to create videos for them!!!!!

…. i have been making videos since i was 9 and this week has been SUCH a breakthrough

all because i saw a video of jesse giving out eth on warpcast and a few of y’all liked my comment about attempting to do the same thing which made me go for it 

wow being cringe is the move for 2025

Farcaster

Anyone thinking about how Feb 14th is gonna be on farcaster?

a frame to find out who’s your farcaster valentine

For those who code, how long did it take before it started to find its way your dreams?

life could get easier when you stop trying to have people perceive you a certain way

DeepSeek’s name betrays what “AI” actually is — it’s not intelligence, it’s intelligent search

A natural byproduct of big data is a lot of noise. The way you solve that is to use LLMs to get insights from that data

Fundamentally still data science IMO, just with a sexier name

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The future looks miserable, yes. But I know how to shoot to kill now. So I feel better about it all

Counterintuitively, I’m bullish Farcaster because it’s growing “slowly”

Explosive attention coupled with money makes headlines, but it doesn’t have good retention

While the industry focuses on the sugar high of printing large sums of money in record time, I’m paying attention to where sustainable economies are emerging
