in my storytelling era
i feel this so much today after my post blew up

building is easy, talking to users is hard, but being vulnerable by building in public on social media is even harder

ultimately, attention is the currency of consumer crypto and as founders, we're here to win and so we need to do what's needed
Thanks to Warpcast for making a very small angel investment ✅
👋 Hi Farcaster! I’d love to introduce myself and share about the protocol I’m building.

I have led products at Uniswap and bought bitcoin back in 2015.

I’m a software engineer, product manager, and dad who lives in San Francisco... 🧵
I’m surprised they dropped channels on a Friday afternoon. Guess the team enjoys working weekends
Warpcast UI soon
Anyone else wish the bookmark feature was in the share dialog?

Primary problem is I often need to scroll up to bookmark since I scrolled down while reading

That’s how it is in Twitter iirc
I like all four changes.

1. Never liked the channel circles, since they weren’t stories, more space for feed!
2. Slim username is easier on eyes.
3. Channels with logo feels familiar, like a post to a fb group in a fb newsfeed.
4. I love bookmarking but there were too many icons there, so I like it too.

Announcing our next experiment: How can we help token communities engage and provide utility for their holders?

Introducing a new era of community-run lotteries

A lottery provides utility for the token such that it's not just price go up, but also a way to get a 10000x

It reduces sell pressure by providing holders with a native way to earn yield

Crypto is all about attention. A big win will make waves, and get more attention on the token.

We're so excited to partner with the amazing team behind $ANDY, the top memecoin on Blast, to make this a reality!

this weekend's research has identified the perfect afternoon to be either:

- getting dogpiled by your toddler and her friends doing daddy daycare
- writing code, eating seaweed snacks, and sipping whisky while outdoors in pleasant weather
Learning about how this works soon is my most anticipated post of next week (hopefully)
As a dApp founder, all I care about is discovery and conversion

All I want is an app store directory + seamless onramp

Honestly huge kudos to them for delivering both of these (soon)

this is the stack at megapot:
- ethereum
- vercel
- redis
- blastscan
- dune
- privy
why build features when your community can build them instead

I really like games and dancing 😅
Took my first full weekend in a while to rest, recover, and celebrate my birthday

Gearing up for this next month which will be pivotal
Inspiring to see /megapot inspire others
I've been noodling on a topic for weeks and it just clicked and now I'm up writing instead of sleeping

Name a better feeling
Figs fresh from the backyard
What a journey and one of the top threads I’ve read in a while

It’s an honor to watch builders in the arena going all in on nascent ideas, sharing their lessons transparently, and being so gracious through all of it
Oh wow, got it on my 2nd guess 😅
I believe excellence comes from continued iteration

As a founder and dad, I'm just feeling appreciation (today and every day) for my wife who is making sacrifices so I can go all in
