first time in a while I’ve qualified for rainbow rewards

This is not good.
I've made some updates to my @hypersub

For starters, I am now using sparks as the way to describe the price as it is easier to visualize than several decimal points worth of ETH.

Secondly, I've introduced a secondary tier. Now we have:

Subs Up Weekly
✧ 420 / week
Ongoing patronage, unlocks access to post in /thumbsup

Subs Up Monthly
✧ 4200 / month
Ongoing patronage with perks like a credits in the newsletter, occasional airdrops of zora creations, and access to channel/group chat.

Of course both include protocol rewards.

This is a very important distinction. I hadn’t even realized until I saw Mike’s earlier post.

To clarify: if you want to be counted towards this airdrop, the best way is to open the airdrop website in a browser, click “connect wallet” > “”Walletconnect (QR Code)” > scan the QR with @rainbow, connect, sign, and repeat with each wallet.

Sharing to /DEGEN because it’s an airdrop.

This is really cool 🎲
I maintain that other Farcaster apps, like @supercast ought to incorporate @xmtp. That would create a point of differentiation initially, and over time, as more use it, enable an ecosystem of communication that works in an open way.
Paid for @supercast using crypto and it was such a smooth process
Conspiracy theorists don’t like when there’s actual proof. Ruins all the mystery.
$USDaf (I know, not a great name) is a stablecoin backed by $SPOT, the innovative the low-volatility flatcoin which is itself actually a derivative of $AMPL

This confusing sounding Russian nesting doll of a token, is actually, perhaps, the most innovative token since $SPOT itself.

A stable token backed by a low-volatility derivative backed by a relatively-low-volatility elastic supply flatcoin. If it works as designed, it’s a completely decentralized and permissionless, low-risk-of-liquidation, inflation resistant, money.

There are ads on the rainbow discover page now. They’re relatively unobtrusive but I’m still not stoked about it.

I’m paying like 0.8% on every trade, amounting to tens of dollars per month. That should be enough for an ad-free experience.
mainnet gas is too high. more L2s pls
It’s now more clear than ever that Elon Musk is gonna be the evil corporate baron from a sci-fi novel who sells everyone a robot and then one day flips a switch that activates the robot army to kill everyone
