Farcaster

question of the week: who should i onboard next? :)

extra points if you can connect me directly and i'll personally onboard them with you (and maybe @dwr.eth too)

extra extra points if it is a group of 3 or 4 people (or more!)

We had the same Craigslist vision with Bountycaster but found there wasn't enough density of users *yet* to be meaningful beyond bounties and jobs (@zd had a similar experience). Bountycaster still exists though, @pirosb3 and I maintaining it on the side

glad that the vision didn’t include this section

Whatsup guys. I’m a sub-80 IQ podcaster with gloating rights to a million subscribers. 

The last time I used crypto was when I parked ₹45K in my WazirX right before it got hacked. I’m worse than a noob. 

I’m emotionally turbulent, drink too many sweet drinks, and have constant WhatsApp overwhelm. 

Other than that, some people think I’m famous.

Welcoming podcasting legend to Farcaster!

Free idea for Farcaster: rent a billboard during a major conference (or if youre feeling confident anytime) showing how much money has been distributed on Farcaster. 

Most people are here because they see it as an opportunity to earn, lean into it.

My whole feed are purple checks.

Either the algo is leaning to show them or 90% of the DAU are the 10k checkers. 

Or Both?

Can we please stop using comic sans as “the kids font?”

The kids deserve better

recommendation: have this open to the search page. opening the wallet and seeing a list of holders is helpful, but I'm definitely craving more context (the absence of context biases toward blind aping)

Is there a mini-app that I can use to build a mini-app?

You guys make me feel alive 🥹

Farcaster Pro initial 10K list

A reminder this will be onchain and in the protocol in a couple weeks. 

But for now, here's the official list of 10,000 FIDs, in order of when they subscribed, that qualified for the NFT. Should be helpful for anyone who wants to do data analysis.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hi8BnReWA9iIiuOcyQbzdRxKbRY0tNYuNdE2JgH4s3o/edit?gid=129247491#gid=129247491

Based on the Pro Status list here is a scatter chart of FID vs. Subscriber Number.

Big white band between 20K -200K are the non-existing FIDs, but the rest looks pretty normal with a solid line on top - probably newly created FIDs just to have a pro status.

Future of channels convo hosted by @cura is the don’t miss bi-weekly round table for me. Sooo good. @inceptionally @humpty.eth @anmworld3 @moe & of course @sahil all sharing thoughts & ideas 

Channels are in the BDFLs hands now. Which direction will they go? idk but follow cura & join the lobby. General consensus & working code.  

My outlook:
Channels are miniapps
They should control signers
They issue entitlements 
They have wallets

My desires:
💯 decentralized 
FID based ‘mini’app centric
FIP-2 at their core (opens non social-feed use cases)

Challenges 
- [many]

wrapped up a great call with some channel mods/owners

talked about possible roadmap for channels, what's missing, magic moments. some common threads:
- channels want more ways to drive engagement and growth, not just distribution. 
- discovery is important across apps, but so is having direct access to your community.
- folks run different types of channels, so flexibility matters across feeds, onboarding and moderation.
- the idea of owning your front page for your channel without relying on one app is powerful. 

thanks to those who still show up for channels!

hi! we have some unisex small shirts from farcon last year that i’d love to send out to the community :)

8 left with the horizontal writing, 2 left with circular (and yes, both a play on the allsaints shirt). 

reply below if you want one and are willing to share your physical address. reminder: size unisex small!!

got back to LA late last night and sending these out today!

thinking about doing another limited edition drop of these as a physical reward that you're only eligible to get if you do [fill in the blank]

any suggestions for [fill in the blank]? open to allll ideas, especially URL-to-IRL ideas :)
