Stream of consciousness thoughts about crypto, big tech, cooking, startups, or anything else on our collective minds. No topic is off topic.

Spent the past two weeks off-the-grid in Argentina for a wedding.

Looks like a lot's been happening on FC!

- starter packs
- new token meta
- anoncast meta
- frames v2

What else did I miss?

Spent the last two weeks traveling for back-to-back weddings. One in Toronto, and another in Hawaii.

Always great to disconnect, but eager to get back to work.

Sad I couldn’t make it to the dev day but thankful I can follow along with @dylsteck.eth’s live casting!

Really enjoyed this conversation with @kaloh!

I've been following his writing for a while (first on Substack, and then on Paragraph when he moved over!), so I was honored to join his podcast and chat about all things writing, Paragraph, the creator economy, and more.

✅ optimizing for qBangers
One thing I like about caster rewards in particular: no claiming.

Post good content and receive value straight into your wallet - no other action needed.
Finally, native rewards for bangers

Cool to see non-crypto content like this (and like @galazio's cooking show) created just for Farcaster
I think this is a very interesting problem space. It’s similar to some work I was doing at Google: labeling & predicting abusive behavior for millions of SMS messages across 1b phone numbers a month.

We would:
- manually label millions of spam reports
- create heuristic rules & train ML models using labeled data
- deploy heuristics & models to the device and on the server (bc different access to signals on each)
- rinse & repeat

Heuristics got us surprisingly far.

The vast amount of accessible onchain and FC data (metadata, behavior, content) should make it much easier to build decent classifiers.

Curious to see how onchain identity plays out.

We now have a few different namespaces, with arguably not much current interoperability between them:

- ENS
- Farcaster
- base names
- XMTP
- others (unstoppable, lens etc)

Provides multi-platform synchronization function to allow users to stay socially connected anytime and anywhere.
Just claimed cma.base.eth.

In doing so I realized my identity is pretty fragmented:
- colinarms on Twitter
- cma.xyz for my personal website (and now cma.base.eth)
- colin on Farcaster

I should spend more time thinking about unifying names
