It's unsurprising and exciting to see common threads of focus shifting towards the systems that enable people to become high quality contributors.
Being systematic about addressing the practical needs of normal users will go a long way towards getting high quality results!

I wrote about why I think system conditions matter more than individual performance in producing quality writing, and why CLPs (conversational liquidity providers) on FC are underserved.

Added some Partnerships Best Practices from the show notes in the thread below
These are the important questions to ask about incentive mechanisms.
I wrote about ways to better monetize user behavior in more web3 value-aligned ways in my article about the attention economy.
I feel like we're getting close with the way this airdrop model is being described.
I labeled it advertisers in the image, but the concept applies to devs and brands as a whole:
Users generate valuable data. They can opt in to monetize that data and receive airdrops that are highly targeted to their specific interests and needs. Users and brands that behave in non-aligned ways lose out on value capture.
I think there's a few things missing still (privacy), but it's an interesting iterative step forward.

will farcaster become similar to the axie farms of 2021?
thousands of people who can make a better income doing random FC dev quests than their regular work in their location
it'll be interesting to see how this all comes together

I feel like crypto wallets and passkeys and identity management all merging is the UX unlock we need to make the next step forward as a digital society.
Shazow is totally correct in my view: they are all in the same overlap of security and usability needs.

In a world where crypto is not a dirty word, I would have expected password managers to meld with crypto wallets, and identity management in general.
Fairly similar security models, lots of overlap in requirements and common features.
But alas that's not our world anytime soon.

This photo popping up on my memories today was timely after yesterday's post about creating green spaces.
Another green space I made at my previous house!
Gardens are great, and I love growing food! But sometimes you just need a soft green space to relax and let the doggies cool off!

How do you incentivize quality content creation if rewarding a metric makes the metric the target?
Brings me back to @danicaswanson's thoughts on systemic quality. Throwing money at the problem doesn't scale, so what's next? What systems are necessary to support content creation (assuming all of this is in service of creating sustainable funding)?
- cozy corners: while there may be a range of sizes, most corners only stay cozy if they maintain some form of exclusive characteristic, even if just a self-selecting one
- on/offboarding: the more easily ppl can come and go and stay caught up with the meta, the more engaged they can be
- community knowledge & reputation: in order for members to maintain a sense of individual value in a growing community there needs to be residual community knowledge that stays surfaced about contributions, as well as persistent reputation about accomplishments within the community

Anyone have other examples of good social graph bootstrap strategies to compare?

I have grown to respect the strategy of the merkle team so far:
- killer core UX
- wrangle spam and create a qdau culture
- monetize qdau behavior and start onboarding quality content creators
- onboard top talent from ecosystem
This has been the most effective bootstrap of a general purpose social graph I've seen since web2 entrenchment.

Been thinking about this and I think this is where Warpcast shines. It still has good community vibes. So many new ppl have been commenting on the warm welcomes and the positive attitudes.
We still have builder vibes!
I have two ruminations on this:
1. I bet when ppl "check back in" during these little windows, those vibes will leave an impression. The kind of vibes where the people building the very app we're using are engaging with live feedback, right in the feed. When they go back to their stale, lifeless algorithm fed rage bait circle jerk, they'll miss those builder vibes.
2. Cozy corners and builder vibes only scale if we grow horizontally as well as vertically. Communities have to grow wider, and start to create corners of their own, before the general common area gets overrun with traffic that crushes the space with noise.
The scaling problem is a ways out, but the sooner we start iterating, the faster we will build retention.

D30 is what matters. So don’t get too optimistic. :)
The most clear answer that all us sphincter clenchers needed to resolve this fomo:
- if you're gonna spend the warps in like 1-2 weeks, ok maybe keep them.
- you can just buy them back whenever you need them. Nothing to gain holding them.
So, spend em or cash them out. It's that simple folks. (Why did we make it so hard on ourselves? 🤣)

Should I cash out my warps?
Do you need to buy a channel or invite in the next week or two? Don't cash out.
Otherwise, cash out. You can always use the USDC to buy warps later when you need them.

This kind of user testing and feedback is what makes building in public so powerful.
Web2 companies pay out the ass for this kind of data.
Now we just need the service that issues permanent, sovereign reputation for everyone who contributes value in this medium!

Absolutely the model I subscribe to:
Nich use case definition for potential Blockchain application that:
- Users want b/c they solve real problems
- Users would pay for b/c they provide real value
- People are excited about b/c they push the space forward
By defining these use cases we create new narrative potential for people to organically get behind and start building towards without strict control over who has economic access to experimentation.
Unleash creativity!

Ppl keep forgetting that we're only building the primitives and protocols that *enable* the experimentation that will unlock the future of tech.
We're not building the future directly. Nobody in this space has a clue what ppl actually want. We just know we need to build things that enable ppl to create their own future without selling themselves to centralized overlords.

Casts are expired at the year regardless of storage. Storage is still only good for the year applied. There are deeper archives out there however.
