@farcaster_xyz warpcast.com/memes

please reply thanks

@nadertheory Exciting days ahead lol

Getting asked this a lot: There are actually two main reasons to join Focus early when it launches on Thursday: 1. The joining bonus decays exponentially as people join. 2. Your joining bonus is paid in $FOCUS tokens, but the amount is USD-denominated. See you on-chain!

@costa_crypto @tribedotrun tribe.run/join/94816e

There's a huge potential now on @tribedotrun there's even no video on the internet showing how to use it. #triberun will make new MILLIONAIRES in the next days: - Socialfi platform with zk compression on solana - Friendtech mechanics but with holder airdrops - First movers will be millionaires within days I opened my Tribe "CryptoCosta" and loaded bags of @aixbt_agent today

@DAzaraf @tribedotrun @AryehRE tribe.run/join/94816e

MY HONEST REVIEW OF @tribedotrun (Invite link in the first comment.) Tribe.run has blown up today as degens rush to create tribes and trade PEOPLE. So I used my guy @AryehRE's referral link to create my tribe and give this SocialFi newbie a spin. (It took a while to decide which reflink to choose. I used Aryeh's because the guy adds nonstop good vibes and value across the TL and group chats. Lesson in there.) Pros: 1. It's on @solana. Most liquid, busy, exciting chain is the perfect place to launch a SocialFi app. 2. Tribe mechanics are interesting. Gamified alpha groups is a concept that gets the crypto geeks going. Cons 1. If you're trying to penetrate the mainstream, a Windows 95 theme ain't it. The Windows 95 theme is blissfully nostalgic for me, a 32-year-old whose first interaction with PC was Windows 95. Gen Z degens have no conception of Windows 95, and I feel like this UX is alienating for most of them. 2. I don't like the fact that this app is custodial, I don't like giving up my keys. That being said, most trading bots on Solana are also custodial these days. Seems like decentralization and self-custody aren't high on the degen priority list. Cool tek regardless, and worth checking out. Here's how to get started: 0:00 Intro to Tribe and SocialFi 0:47 Opening Your Tribe and Buying Your Token 4:53 Checking out your Tribe 5:26 Trading PEOPLE (currently bullish on Aryeh and @0xsammy - NFA)

@TheCryptoDog SocialFi :) Also, @FocusDotXYZ is launching this week!

What is the next HYPE ?

@SalvinoArmati Need an invite! Can you help?

yapsters, we've been working around the clock, and I wanted to give you a quick update on our priorities and what we're focused on fixing. Here’s a summary of what you’ve told us: Gameplay Problems • Users faced significant performance issues throughout the game. To be more specific — the round results were extremely slow and would jump forward to the next round before results were revealed. The Token Voting UI was also extremely laggy. • Some users got stuck on the loading screen and couldn’t reconnect until much later. • Round results repeated for some players. • Game payouts didn’t go out because the servers went down. Post-Game Lobby Problems • We were barraged with next-game ticket purchases, which eventually led to all purchases failing for users. Product-Related Feedback • Users think there are too many Yapster derivatives. • There are a lot of duplicate tickers (which leads to fragmented votes across tickers, making it hard for these to win). • The final leaderboard scoring was very confusing for some users (some players saw a score of 0, despite payouts). Our Two Biggest Priorities: App Stability and Gameplay Experience Here’s what we’ve set in motion to address these: Re: App Stability • Re-architecting our backend and adding better load balancing. • Tackling performance issues on the client side and reducing the number of messages it needs to process. • Adding more robust integration testing infrastructure so we can easily test at scale. • Working to reopen the game lobby so players can claim their winnings. Re: Product-Related Issues we hear you loud and clear on the duplicate tickers and the Yapster derivative meta exhaustion. We’ve got some experiments in the works to tackle this—just give us a little time. if you’ve read this far, i appreciate that you care. please know that the whole team is working around the clock to deliver an actually fun, stable game. it’s day 6 since we ran the first beta, and we’re just getting started.

@nadertheory $264k bounty reward? That’s crazy!! 😳

You may remember BitClout, a SocialFi app I launched in 2021. My next app is called Focus, and it's launching this week. It features an influencer-centric viral loop tied into X and an all-new, never-before-seen token mechanic that my team and I invented. We hope you enjoy it.

@nadertheory 1000% yes

Are SocialFi and Decentralized Social about to make the greatest comeback of all time?

@hosseeb @nadertheory 🧠

Who should we have on as a guest on The Chopping Block?

@rektmando Bro you're totally talking about @desoprotocol !! It fits perfectly here.

@Jason I think you’re talking about @desoprotocol lol

The only two things I find exciting about crypto are DAOs & permission-less/distributed social networks/content. No one has nailed these two products, but oh boy if someone does… can you imagine a global, angel syndicate in DAO format?! Imagine a distributed, permission-less, easy to use version Wordpress or Reddit?!

@_TruckDog_ @goldberryband 👌👌

I do love some indie folk music. And here's a great band making great music. Check out Goldberry for yourselves. . Stagnant by Goldberry @goldberryband . #ListenNow, streaming everywhere. songwhip.com/goldberry/stag…

@desoprotocol Looking forward to POS :)

The hottest SocialFi app in all of crypto has already raised over $60 Million in reservations. Focus will revolutionize how creators and users monetize their content on social networks. But it will only be possible thanks to the Revolution Proof of Stake (PoS) upgrade coming soon to the DeSo blockchain. Here are the key aspects of Revolution PoS: 💨 Hyper Speed: Revolution PoS enables extremely fast finality times not only for financial transactions but also for content, which includes posts. It aims to achieve a scale close to Twitter's, with a roadmap to reach full Twitter scale as demand grows. Revolution uses the Fast HotStuff consensus algorithm, allowing optimal communication rounds per block finalization, a feature not available in other blockchains. 💰 Cost-Effectiveness: DeSo's infrastructure is specifically optimized for storing and indexing content, including social media posts, at an extremely low cost. This is particularly evident when compared to blockchains primarily focused on financial transactions or smart contracts, which are not optimized for high-volume content storage. Storing a standard text-based post (around 200 characters) on the DeSo blockchain is incredibly cheap, costing less than $0.000017 per post. This cost is substantially lower compared to Ethereum or Solana, especially when considering the additional fees associated with executing smart contracts on these platforms. DeSo's efficiency in content storage doesn't compromise its performance. It is designed to handle a high volume of transactions, which is essential for a social media-focused blockchain. 🔐 Self-Sovereign Staking (No Lockups): Unlike many PoS mechanisms that require long-term coin lockups, Revolution PoS achieves similar security levels without needing such extended lockups. It requires locking stake for approximately three hours (spanning three Revolution epochs). The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for Revolution starts at around 20% and adjusts based on the total amount staked. 💸 Dynamic Block Rewards: Revolution PoS introduces an innovative method to automatically adjust validator block rewards. This adjustment aims to incentivize the total amount staked and the total number of validators, ensuring validators are paid no more than their operating costs. This minimizes the cost of running a node by adjusting the block reward to maximize both the amount staked and the number of validators at minimum cost to the protocol. 📉 Maximal Deflation: The burn-maximizing fee algorithm (BMF) in Revolution PoS is a significant enhancement over existing models like EIP-1559. BMF focuses on maximizing the amount burned from all transaction fees, benefiting users rather than validators. This model provides little incentive for validators to collude for transaction fees and aims to make Revolution a more deflationary protocol. Revolution PoS is designed to create a more efficient, secure, and deflationary environment within the DeSo ecosystem. Its advanced features position it uniquely in the blockchain space, particularly for content storage and monetization.
