On a desktop, it would be possible to sign in using any wallet if it has imported the custody account, unfortunately, they don't want that, and since the custody account is only imported on your mobile phone that's why you see this annoying screen and forced to use mobile.

Here is a pack of accounts that push for decentralization and FOSS, accounts are mainly developers but not all.

Probably this list is like 60/100 of all such accounts on the network, at least that's my feel based on feeds.

If you feel left out, please reply to this cast.

I think the allowlist doesn't make any sense, ATM, if you sign malicious things with your custody, you lose your account instantly.

So what's the reason for the allowlist then? It just looks like you want to control which apps have access, IMO it's disgusting, Farcaster was always plagued by whitelists.

There's no whitelist in the permissionless paradigm, and the Farcaster team has breached this permissionless tenant in all these years more than I can count.

I detailed more why technically doesn't make any sense(https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/226#discussioncomment-12520077) ,and there is no excuse for a whitelist other than breaking the trust of devs, I am not planning to make any code that interacts with DC but, the idea that from these like 300+ devs that exist on Faracster they need to request permission to create any product is sickening.

Twitter is down now, and the dev portal too :(.

Many outages recently, at this rate that farcaster may have a chance to grow a bit...
There is a law project in my country about gambling, which is beyond many people's imagination.

So the TLDR:

- Citizens can only gamble 10% of their income
- Banks need to watch for all transactions and stuff to determine if more than 10% is spent on gambling
- If more than 10% is exceeded, the gambling organization, not the gambler, will get a fine

Now there are many ant-gambling laws in EU, but this seems one of the craziest because it breaches many law principles such as, privacy rights, non-discrimination rights, and culpable responsibility rights.

In this regard, China is just better as it just bans gambling altogether and that seems much fairer.

IMO, I agree with most of the studies that gambling can't help society in its current form. It is yet another wealth transfer mechanism from the poor to the rich. If we can't invert the equation by targeting and implementing redistributive measures from rich to poor, gambling is worse than a zero-sum game, and in fact, it accelerates societal downgrade.

Did this extension in a few hours, it will put a "quote to Warpcast" button on every tweet on X.com

I will put the Chrome download link in the repo readme once it is approved, repo link: https://github.com/andrei0x309/x-to-warpcast-extension

I need to make some minor changes after approval and re-release.

So many projects migrated from one chain to another, mostly for something more substantial than ad credit.

Anyway, this poaching scheme is just a zero-sum game. If you don't migrate for technical reasons, you'll ultimately hurt the ecosystem.

I just cloned myself on @zoapp!
Now you can turn your Farcaster profile into an agent and chat with it.
Give mine a try below👇🏻!
Since I did work a bit with SWIF, and I added it to my wallet which is available on ethereum.org, wallet connect, and alchemy, and was always open source for a few years, I did come up with some thoughts for the Farcaster Connect FIP.

IMO will be good to open that up and rebranding is essential for that, the scheme with so many steps does not seem like a good UX choice IMO.

But I wrote more thoughts here:

Wrote a super tiny logger lib for slack logging `slack-logger-light` with an example of integrating it with @tsed/logger, I know there are already a lot of such libs but this one has 0 deps. And might be the best in certain scenarios. https://bit.ly/4fUFewg
Looked at it, and the biggest breaking change seems to be publishing the app metadata on-chain that's used in authentification.

I didn't look deeper if this kills Momoka, but I suspect it makes sense for all posts to be in a single place not like before on-chain and on a data availability layer.

The spam will be countered with daily limits of probably 200 like before, it's refreshing to see not an aggressive focus on increasing DAUs, protocols don't care about DAUs, only capital mainly cares about DAUs, you can have the greatest protocol with only one user, it makes no difference as long as you don't want to enrich yourself.

Also, an important concept is bringing your own feed, this is crucial to new social media and it's hard to believe decentralized social media will succeed with obtuse centralized feed algorithms.

I also have 3 FIDs in the same picture, so I have both your 3 FIDs and my 3 FIDs in the same picture, but I actually have 4 FIDs 1 is not displayed too new, I mean if you count the microsub there you have 4 FIDs in the pic :|.

We're multi-FIDed persons.

Great opportunity to look at some /dune /neynar data.

Here are some insights:

19 days ago I looked at two metrics:
1) total number of active fids in 24h
2) total number of massive spammers (more than 1k casts per day)

19 days ago:
Number of active fids: ~16-17k
Number of massive spammers 13

Today:
Number of active fids: ~13k
Number of massive spammers: 7

An active caster in the query is someone who did at least 2 casts, obviously in this number automated accounts also are included.

What we are missing in data is a way to find how many authorized active fids are, meaning subtracting from 13k people those that have casted using the protocol in channels where they didn't have a membership, logic tells us that this will further decrease the 13k number.

So this is a very long way of saying that, there's less activity than before.

Whether that is good or not, depends totally on the preferences of users.

This week I released Clear Wallet 1.4.7:

Some changes:
- New nicer UI and other UI changes
- Improved SIWF/SIWW ( Warpcast API, has become slow, the auth token when generated too fast takes a while to become active on WC backend, added a cache + some wait and retry logic to improve login)
- Added Network from
- Updated all deps
- Migrated to bun from yarn pkg manager
- Tweaked memory cache
- Added network(Rootstock Network) template PR from @ahsan-javaiid

And other minor things.
There are a few out-of-the-box Linux solutions packed with everything, like Modoboa, mailcow, iRedMail, etc.

The issue is that IP reputation is super important in the Email world, it will be very difficult to build that reputation otherwise 60/100 of emails will end up in spam. I did host some mail servers for a national institution years ago, and delivery was OKish but yeah you need a static IP with reverse with a high authority domain(preferably with gov status), DKIM, DMARC, SPF, whitelists and at least 1 year of good behavior.

IMO if is a small firm and is not some institution with critical privacy requirements just use an online provider, Google, or Microsoft, if you want cheaper, Zoho or Yandex.

All have mail suites.

Has anyone tried plain `transfer` of fid on idRegsitry?

It seems that is disabled, it gives `invalid signature` even if you follow the docs.

On OP Explorer there's only `transferFor` executed recently(like 2+ months), I did try `transferFor` and it works, I made a simple repo for anybody who wants to try that https://github.com/andrei0x309/fc-fid-transfer-example

I think you should revise the docs a bit and put some links to repos with working examples there are small issues in many examples that less experienced people will find hard to pass.
Nope, not real. BTW the picture is old.

It's just a resized image displayed on the watch, here is a source from 5 years ago.

There are /no-channels I mean somebody broke the explore channel API and doesn't return anything anymore ATM.

I don't have member on /warpcast so I can't report it there.
In many ways, debt is already passed down from generation to generation, not only in the US but almost everywhere.

USA is a big factor in why this is happening, as a maintainer of the current imperialist system it will actually intervene militarily when its capitalist interests are threatened.

Nullifying/forgiving debt is something that is seen as a threat alongside other national monetary policies that smaller countries may enact.

This will remain the reality until the Empire is on its way out like all Empires before, I just hope this Empire will not drag the whole planet under the bus by not accepting its downfall.

Casting this here in case someone wants to use Airstack to validate frames inside a constrained space like Cloudflare workers made today a small open-source npm package for that.
