If you think Warpcast is a bad name relative to Farcaster, one of the original suggestions for the app name was Fatline

Should we rebrand Warpcast to Farcaster?
We separated Warpcast (the app) from Farcaster (the protocol) a few years ago.
We've heard from many new users that this is very, very confusing. People hear about Farcaster, search in the app store, can't find anything called Farcaster and then churn.

Jam Airdrop
The jam team is running a new airdrop today. Farcaster is not involved with this airdrop and has no control over it.
You should do your own research and decide whether you want to participate. If you don’t like it or you don’t understand it, you shouldn’t participate.

Frame idea: fundraiser
Show the user who requested it, the cast with context and make it one click to send funds with a message.
Generate a nice open graph image so that it shows up nicely in feeds.
I bet we can raise money for some good causes here.

We're going to add the ability to add notes on transactions from warplet. Would you like it to be:
1. Onchain and public to everyone
2. Offchain and private to you and the recipient (only on Warpcast)
Assume we can only ship one of these.

Are memecoins good or bad?
I think they sit somewhere in the triangle between buying pokemon cards and going to the casino and day trading.
I don't personally don't do much of those things, but I understand the appeal and don't think we need to shame people who do it.

Recovery Phrase Export
You can now export your recovery phrase for your Warpcast Wallet and Farcaster Wallet from Settings -> Advanced
Warning: don't use this if you dont know how recovery phrases work. you could lose your farcaster account and all your onchain assets.
