what's your favourite monitor setup for productivity?
NFT projects I loved from the moment I saw them:

Amulets
Nouns
@w1nt3r’s Runes
@0xen’s Farcats

one thing they have in common is they fully embrace their medium to do something novel

haven’t really seen much of this in the last year or two
just spent an hour helping a friend debug some lovable-generated code. he's on hour 6 with this bug

super bearish on vibecoding with llms. they're great for prototyping but cannot be trusted

we need a different model architecture that can actually understand and reason about the code
actually some of us have principles

Hot take: someone should launch a different higher token with a different distribution mechanic. My hunch is it ~wouldnt~ do super well but on the other hand it would be entirely in line with what the current relationship is between the open brand and the token

Basically: remember, no one is tied to the token. If you’re building around higher and don’t hold a lot of $higher, I wouldn’t really feel obliged to it

Tokens have many flaws and advantages, in this case you get access to a group of high agency people by using the token. And by using the token you also are subject to the distribution on launch and everything that has followed.

Maybe the point here is more general. Do not be beholden to some status quo that does not feel generative to you.
to get the most out of FarCon, contribute

run an event
do a talk
hack on a project
host a session
bring gifts
play a game
pull a prank
volunteer

PSA: if you need to move your FID to a new address or change your recovery address, use @greg 's handy opensource tool

warpcast team plz link to this app (or host it yourself), your docs are hella confusing on how to transfer a FID

my left-curve understanding of aging is that the body has gas and brakes

gas: more energy, higher metabolism, muscle growth, more cancer, faster aging, heat, radiation, oxidative stress

brakes: lower metabolism, glp1, metformin, calorie restriction, cold plunges, meditation

Because your company’s incentive structure rewards me to do it that way, mostly
I’m so fucking frustrated right now about how hard it is to articulate and quantify non-financial value

the value of relationships, community, public goods, or neighbors who care about you

There’s an essay (a book?) to be written about how the volume of writing and the speed of production on the internet has made *all* language more imprecise.

So much of communication today has nothing to do with the meaning of words themselves, but of the things *around* the words: emojis, caps, context, etc.

whats the best way to set up a claimable airdrop on mainnet?
if i were in charge of growing farcaster qDAU, here's an experiment i'd run:

- take all fc users who have an X account listed
- use X api to pull all their follower/following data
- overlay those two graphs and find X users who already have a lot of connections on fc, but don't have an fc account yet. theory: these ppl are the most primed to switch and stick
- for each one of those users, pick a few people that they follow on X that are active on fc and suggest to those ppl to invite the not-yet-on-FC user. e.g. "137 people you follow are already on Warpcast"
- give points on the leaderboard for invites that stick
- make "copy your followers from X" a part of onboarding. if i follow someone X and they join FC, I'd wanna auto-follow them here too

if this works, its repeatable. just update the graphs and hit the next set of adjacent users

Higher is like Stripe Press.

You could publish your book anywhere. Great books and writers get attention anywhere.

But when you pick Stripe (and they pick you), it says something important to a specific group of ppl. It’s a strong credible signal of value and values

I’ve bought books from that signal alone

Warpcast is an FC client and a wallet

Coinbase Wallet is (soon gonna be) an FC client and a wallet

Are they the same wallet??

Portable social network + portable smart contract wallet would be such an unlock

Cool new take on social prediction markets. Love the dead-simple UX for a somewhat complex underlying idea.

Been experimenting with prediction markets over the past few weeks after being nerd sniped by @davewhite

Distribution markets let you bet on ANY value and win within a range of your choice

Try it out:

The market allocates your attention to the most directly “productive” use and does not care how you feel about it

one reason i vibe with proxy is that his path is similar to mine.

no big-name degree, no big tech experience, no SF connections, just finding success through trust, conviction, and hustle.

thats the rebel alliance way and i always support the rebels
