The new network effect is the Schelling point.
Why have I been on this app for 9 days and not had this pop up yet?

Clearly we need more AI in the rec algorithm
or in our own cast choices

Early on, we thought account verifications were key to establishing trust / humanity
But we've concluded that by themselves, they don't matter much.
To the extent they become valuable, they become gamed.
This is true generally for all centrally issued verifications... from web3 protocols to LinkedIn to eyeballs, licenses and passports.
The only durable solution is personalized web of trust

The impostor has more to gain by proving they are real than the genuine
Does manual tagging of bots look like a sisyphean task?
Expand your time and tech horizon.
When my and every other qBuilder’s bots come online, they will be more powerful, numerous, and highly networked.
Just like proof of stake becomes more expensive to attack, so do trust networks in a world with personal AIs.

Wonder why you get so much "AI slop" when you post a job on most platforms?
Because it gives them an excuse to charge you to reach more "applicants"
As part of a split test vs our own app, we posted a job on LinkedIn tonight and within the first 30 minutes received dozens of applications.

"Create an image of what you think I look like, based on what you know about me"
Was super fun vibe coding with @j4ck.eth, @brenner.eth and a few hundred NYC high school CS students!
My daughter loved playing the flag game that a student and I created and initially didn't believe we built it.
Then we built another game together and another and now she's brimming with ideas.

It’s trust networks all the way down.
So many great submissions!
I'm always interested in 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ takes so particularly psyched to hear about:
28. "Cross-Chain UX Is a Lie" from @marissaposner
17. "Fear and Loathing in Onchain Security" from @m0nt0y4
and the talk with the best title...
9. "🔓 Your Social Graph, Your Data, Your Wallet… Everyone’s Business?" from @garyweinstein
Also excited to hear from @rubinovitz @tayyab @limone.eth @jihad and @jakub, among others that look super interesting
No surprise that the Farcaster community can show up and put on a stronger agenda than most conferences

"Our common connections on LinkedIn indicate your interest in our company and encouraged me to share this opportunity with you"
- Adnan, 3rd
Crazy their company paid LinkedIn money to send this inmail.
Only way this could be a positive ROI is if it's a scam.

An AI agent to automatically go through all my token spend approvals and suggest revoking or limiting them, based on the application
Since it's 2025 and I'm still getting requests for unlimited token approvals, clearly dapp/frame developers don't want to cap it for UX reasons, hence the need for a user-directed agent.

@linda feature requests for airdrops
1. Link me to something helpful so I can decide whether I want this token. An airdrop could be worth $0.10 or $1k. At least a token address I can tap out to view, please!
2. Add support for airdropping arbitrary tokens if you don’t already. Eg I would like to airdrop $5 USDC to people who do X

Just submitted a lightning talk proposal for /farcon-nyc
Topic: Verifications are dead, long live verifications!
TL;DR: Over the course of 8 minutes, learn why centralized verifications alone are doomed, web of trust attestations can be complementary, and how using both together in a hybrid approach can solve the problem of trust on Farcaster and the internet at large.
Depending on interest, we may do a live demo of integrating verifications + web of trust for channel gating, token deployment, and more.

A bunch of my network interacted with this cast because of /amps
Feels like without allowlist gating for who can use it, the inevitable outcome is trust destroying behavior, which causes trustworthy people to leave, which causes a product death spiral
Interesting model though. The experimentation is valuable.

A Twitter account impersonating @j4ck.eth has deployed an unauthorized token using bankr that uses Icebreaker’s logo and name.
As always, beware of scams.
Icebreaker does not have a token.
Plus if we did, it would not be so unoriginal.

Minor detail in this week's launch, but big implications for giving more control over linked data on Icebreaker.
We've begun splitting login methods from account verifications and data integrations.
To date, we've used /privy for most account verifications*
(*plus integrating with other verified sources like farcaster, talent, ens, etc because we believe in the principle of "verify once, use across web3")
Moving forward, we will begin splitting out:
linked accounts / login methods (e.g., using privy)
-> used both for login and for verifications
verified accounts (e.g., using oauth, magic links, txt records, attestations)
-> not necessarily login methods. lets us expand the universe of verifiable accounts dramatically without compromising on account security
data integrations (e.g., reclaim, oauth, opacity, verifiable ai agents)
-> optionally lets you integrate more deeply, e.g., pulling your full linkedin, twitter, or google calendar networks so you can see your strongest connections in one place

Feature request: Let me add channels to my starter packs
Use Case:
My cousin is in college doing a dual data and cs degree. He wants to know what tech and projects are worth playing with. Super smart, but he doesn't have strong existing networks on twitter, linkedin, or github so it's hard for him to discover what's at the frontier. Ie, he lacks a signal filter.
I could give him a list of repos that I'm excited about, but that's a point in time snapshot.
Better yet, I invited him to Farcaster and gave him a starter pack of people. But that requires him to sort through a bunch of non-tech related content, and I ended up filtering out some strong builders because their degen-y crypto posts may be a distraction.
The best would be if I could share a list of 3-5 high signal channels in addition to a collection of interesting people. When well curated, channels contain only high signal topic-related content from a theoretically unlimited pool of contributors, which is the best signal filter I can give him.

What’s the best package or repo to create a v2 frame in <5 min?
Any good forkable samples that include full screen experience, social sharing, and notifs are appreciated too
