Important updates about things happening in Farcaster

FIP: Location in user profiles

We plan to release a new hubble version and broadcast location info on Friday. We need to min versions hubs on Friday to make this work.

If you have a custom hub setup with auto-upgrades disabled and will not be able to upgrade by Friday, please let us know asap.
Warpcast "error uploading image" issues which were affecting some users on web should be resolved.

If you're still seeing these errors, please rely or DM
We're shutting down the x-posting experiment.

For a few months, we've been testing a feature with a few users to cross posts their tweets from X to Farcaster.

We're shutting it down because we can't get it to work reliably with the current APIs, and when it fails it's really frustrating for users.
We're seeing a spike in unread messages on status.warpcast.com

The good news is that it doesn't seem to be impacting users. It appears that our hubs are sending our backend old messages that it's already seen for some unknown reason.

If you are seeing this affect your apps or users, please let us know.
Chatting with Yup team, looks like it was an accident from their side.
We're hearing reports that Yup is posting messages to users accounts without their permission. It's likely an accident.

If you have previously connected Yup to Farcaster or Twitter, we recommend disconnecting it to be safe.

On mobile, go to Settings -> Advanced -> Connected Apps and delete Yup
A new draft of Snapchain is up for review

This version has significant changes from the previous ones, and goes into much more detail around block building and sharding.

X verifications are now available over the Warpcast API!

Caveat: this endpoint is in beta and is likely to change in the next few days as we get feedback.

Over 4,600 users have connected an X account!

We're going to be opening up APIs for this data soon.
We rolled out a new spam model that is very good at predictions.

Our previous models had a lot of "unknown" predictions - we didnt know if they were good or not, and couldn't give them access to things like boosts.

With the new model, many more users will become eligible for boosts, usdc rewards and trending!
We're moving the location data FIP into implementation.

If you have any feedback or concerns, please let us know ASAP. Warpcast will start publishing this data as soon as next week.
