while i understand & appreciate warpcast pushing frames that have onchain components i do kind of wish there was a counter positioned well resourced client with similar goals, except focused on social mini apps totally unrelated to crypto

great opportunity for bsky imo but they have inferior dev legos rn unfortunately
damn putting it like that really makes me feel like an asshole 😭

elon musk obviously finds it hard to gauge when something is based. ironically being perceived as based is the one thing he wants that he can't buy despite his numerous failed attempts e.g.
- paying people to boost his gaming credentials
- pandering to edgy 4chan humor
- other weird stuff like accepting $doge at tesla
Same thing is happening in crypto

Every app is building a wallet and adding social features

Warplet feature request: memo field sending tokens to a warpcast user which shows in the activity tab for both sender and recipient

Anyone got a request? Not great at MJ + PS but will do my best ✨ 🙏
Listening to the white house digital assets summit and they had the FIFA president show the new World Cup trophy and he said they want to launch a FIFA coin. So random

i'm excited to share that i'm joining @base :)

will be working on the smart wallet team with @wilsoncusack et al to help a billion users come onchain and push crypto ux forward
took a week long break from socials. what did i miss?
geoff has been one of the most effective farcaster advocates successfully onboarding multiple high profile users. he deserves a ticket more than most!

“The most common reason applicants were put on the [FarCon] waitlist was due to a low consistent cast volume.”
I just minted my Faces of Farcaster. A custom, onchain art collection exclusively for Farcasters by @harmonybot and @sayangel
feeling pretty uninspired recently
Tired of seeing pristine promo slides of humanoid robots. Show me the robots doing work in the mines and factories
The more I think about it, the more I realize that a list of emails and a reliable outgoing mail service is the closest you can get to owning your audience and guaranteeing distribution today

Downsides: much harder to build a mailing list, there’s no unsending mails, you miss out on the many-to-many interactions that make public social feeds fun

Raw followers is not a useful metric!

Let’s make the numbers mean something

What if, Warpcast would only show active followers?

Let's call it the Purge 2.0. But what is the definition of active? Let's take 5 casts in the past 60 days. @geoffgolberg is that any good?

Add this to a @dune.eth query and we have an active followers number, take out L0 spammers and we get an even lower active quality followers number.

With above parameters, @dwr.eth has 20,5k active qfollowers. How many do you have? Check in the dune query below

Have been calling for this for a long time. Glad it’s finally happening

Remove inactive accounts too while you’re at it

Warpcast will remove "likely to be spam" accounts from follow counts soon.

Likes and recasts from spammy accounts have been removed from counts for several weeks. We're now going to remove follow counts from these accounts as well.
i never understand why b2b apps send you a million emails after onboarding. if i'm signed up to your b2b app it's either part of my workflow or it's not - retention hacks aren't going to make a difference
what is the best way to index data in real time based on tx calldata suffix? /ponder-sh doesn't have this functionality out of the box

cc @horsefacts.eth in case you guys are indexing frame txs for whatever reason (also can i get an invite to /evm pls)
so much to learn from this 1 hour conversation ranging from the pure facts/opinions to the high level thought process. satya seems like a no bullshit kinda guy - focused on real outcomes, tries not to get caught up in the hype. i appreciate that

Genuine question: What is the average Joe using LLMs for today?

Haven’t found it to be very useful outside of coding but i must be missing something if cutting edge AI models keep topping the App Store charts

i hope we see narrowcasting come back in some way in the future
people talk about solana ux but every time i've wanted to swap in phantom i've had transactions fail 5+ times before going through. is this better or worse ux than paying $50 for a swap when the chain is under high load?

In hindsight the warpcast autofollow list was actually a social capital incentive that effectively turned power users into advocates for the protocol

The users on the auto follow list had an incentive to grow the protocol because social capital accrued to them

Kinda similar to a token in that sense

@v can you please upload the past few dev call recordings to youtube? perhaps you could set up a system to do this automatically?

it's an important resource for developers building on farcaster and i'm sure many aren't able to attend the dev calls live
