The world is getting pretty dark in a lot of places but we're the light warriors, you all

Less talk, more do, build anything, support everyone

Heya builders! Last chance to get your projects into the Base Around the World Buildathons! We just added one more week to the deadline to help you all out. :)

New submission deadline:

Went through a bunch of different options for editing video; IMO liking CapCut the best for ease of use + results to time spent if you're not a professional videographer
Hacker mode yields prototypes

Founder mode yields products

Builder mode yields communities
On the first Friday of each month we get together with @jessepollak and core Base builders from around the ecosystem for Base Builder Friday. Last Friday we recorded it and here a link to the video!

Things we talked about:
↳ Mission, Vision, & Strategy
↳ Base x Wallet
↳ Base Around the World
↳ Buildathons in October
↳ Q & A

...and some other things too. :)

Two important things when launching:

βƒž Onchain
βƒž Passes the normie test

The normie test is a simple true/false -- will a person who has never been onchain before (a normie) be able to use what you built as easily as their offchain alternative, and is it better?
...and I knew right then, it was going to be a terrible, awful, no good, very bad day
13 done, 14 next, further up we'll go, higher together
Sums things up pretty well
Tomorrow is another Wednesday which means an important thing on @base -- it's pump day :) Base is pumping up the per-block gas target from 12 to 13 Mgas/s.

Gas target increases happen every Wednesday and are part of continued, planned scaling efforts to bring a billion people onchain, and to make Base as fast and as inexpensive for everyone around the world to use as possible.

For builders and almost all Base users, no changes are necessary. But if you're running a Base Node and notice any latency after the increase:

1. Monitor CPU and Disk I/O usage

2. Enhance disk throughput and use disks with lower read/write latency (NVMe SSDs recommended)

3. Improve CPU, focusing on single-core speed

If you need help, have questions, or just want to hang out, don't hesitate to come visit the node-operators channel in the Base Discord.

One day you'll need to use a CLI to figure out which network, e.g. Base, an app is on. It'll be like trying to figure out where a website is hosted.

Heya, you found a place where sometimes I test things. :)
Hey you all! Just a quick heads up in case you hadn't already noticed, the Farcaster team has released new channel updates. All channels (including /base) now require a membership to join.

Base is for everyone and we want to make sure everyone using Base gets the opportunity to come hang out here while at the same time keeping out spam, scams, bots, etc.

We're working on setting this up but it might take a little bit of time, so please bear with us.

We expanded the meeting area with additional chairs to make more room :)
