Former CEO of /nounspace, your space to create, customize, and explore.

Consider everything I say as entertainment only 😉

P.S. We just submitted a draft prop to @nouns to Double Down on Nounspace. If you’re curious about our plans to evolve Nounspace from here, please check it out and let us know what you think 💜

After a year of working on Nounspace, we’re ready to take it to the next level.

Nounspace will be exclusively dedicated to Nouns. The space system we’ve built for it will become a foundation for other communities. These space systems will be customized as individual private hubs for each community. 

Acting as sort of decentralized facebook groups, these space systems will be highly customizable while all benefiting from the community organizing features that we roll out. Subnets of the farcaster ecosystem that still carry identity and connection to the larger network.

These are really cute. Nice job to whoever worked on them @uniswap!

(Do wish it had a connect to farcaster option)

The largest onchain marketplace. Buy and sell crypto on Ethereum and 13+ other chains.

Feel like crypto has hit a bit of a stalemate right now. 

Everyone understands the name of the game is bringing new people onchain but yet 99% of all volume is still driven by the same cohort of ~25,000 crypto-native users.

I'm not seeing real interest or demand from people to "get into crypto" and the most successful apps (like Polymarket) don't really have any downstream effects which makes those users want to check out other crypto apps or go deeper down the rabbit hole.

More and more my friends simply net out at "buy more Bitcoin" and frankly I don't think that's a bad take given how safe a bet it is relative to the slaughterhouse that's the memecoin trenches these days.

Am I alone in this thought or do other people feel this too?

The best end scenario for crypto is that it just becomes the plumbing for online finance.

It should win simply by virtue if being the best financial plumbing in the world and the average person shouldn’t ever even have to think about how it works under the hood.

Ogbunike cave is one of Nigeria’s top tourist destinations with thousands of people from across the world trooping there to behold one of the wonders of nature.

This cave is located at “ugwu ogba” in Ogbunike, a town in Oyi Local Government Area, Anambra State (Eastern Nigeria).
The further one gets into the cave, the steeper or gagged it becomes as the case might be. Sometimes, tourists have to help each other jump or ascend and descend to higher and lower ground levels, with various sizes of bats hanging pretty on the walls. On this adventurous journey, tourists will have to deep their legs into muddy water, sandy water as well as clean water as can be found in different compartments in the cave.

No one goes into the Ogbunike cave and returns without a story to tell.

Lying for engagement has finally made it to farcaster.

This picture wasnt taken by this user and isnt even of the cave they’re claiming its from.

@nlanshi - get the fuck out of here with this shit

It's amazing how all these people who've leveraged left wing language of community, collective ownership, and accessibility for DAOs, ICOs, NFTs, and every other token project under the sun for years are freaking out over the most milquetoast left wing policies in meatspace. A baby city grocery pilot program inspired by projects in the communist bastions of Kansas, Wisconsin, and Georgia ain't the October Revolution my dude.

Also incredible how many self-proclaimed innovators' response to repeated problems is to keep doing the same old shit.  Maybe if we call it an A/B test you'll calm down? Besides, your REI dividend is probably 10X mine, you might actually be into this shit.

Honestly, it's not like these policies are absurd overreach. Nothing worth shitting bricks over. 

Maybe these grocery stores don't go well. But honestly I think most of the people doom posting about these leftist projects are terrified that they might actually... go well?

We're about to dive into a world of bespoke, fluid software that sculpts itself to fit our needs.

in a world where anyone can build anything, most won’t. if previous consumer behaviour tells us anything, it’s that we value convenience and and others’ taste way more than we think. even in systems designed for flexibility like notion, people buy templates

After years of participating from the outside I am officially an ATX DAO member!

I was selected for a scholarship honoring Mohammad Ahsan and it means everything to me.

Mo lived his values. He was there for friends and family. He worked in tech but it did not define him. He was generous with his time, resources, and spirit. He loved music and film and wanted the people around him to have a good time and feel supported.

Mo believed in showing up, staying connected, and lifting others up along the way and left a legacy I am honored to carry forward.

Glad to be welcoming our latest cohort into ATX DAO! 

Together we'll build Austin into a thriving hub for decentralized tech.

Singapore architecture is something else.

Ethereum is civilizational infrastructure.

Building for the centuries to come, not for the fourth quarter.

I decided to explore a UX lift for /nounspace (@nounspacetom) in my own time. I like the product a lot but I think the visual hierarchy can be improved a little. Goal was to have a less busy visual hierarchy that also keeps full focus on the feed as that is the key feature of the product. To achieve the goal I consolidated the navbar to the top - breaking it into three sections. Search, icon based navigation and then personal user info/actions like notifications and messages. This gives a bit more context to each icon or action in terms of its placement. For example, the message and notification icon is closer to the profile icon. While the cast or plus icon is at the centre of the navigation items which is a popular UX trend, for example, with Zora.

Love seeing these UX adjustments from @openui. I think there's a lot that makes sense here. Keep an eye out for updates :)

Worldcoin is an authoritarians wet dream. 

It allows them to create a revocable identity system that can’t ever be bypassed (unless you get new eyeballs). 

Govern your citizens from a control room!

Protesters? Rug them! Dissidents? Silence them!

Worldcoin and its concept of a singular identity under one company is antithetical to anything cypherpunk.

It’s corporate ownership over your digital soul.

You can feel the wrongness wafting off it and Sam Altman’s smug smile.

.@ethereum should produce WWDC-style keynotes for upgrades like Pectra with demos and examples of how you can get started with all these changes today
