Weekend AMA! Havent done one of these in a while, but happy to answer any questions folks may have about farcaster or the transition.

Sad to hear about Dan Simmons. RIP. Stumbling across Hyperion in a bookstore in a Bangalore mall was an important fork in the road, down into a world of literature and scifi. Ill always be thankful for that.

one interesting thing about ai discourse is most people are talking about replacing systems of record and elon is talking about generating binaries and rendering frames, and the latter is probably the right end game to be thinking about when it comes to the impact of ai on software

Excited to be on a new adventure in crypto with Dan and the team!

Does no one on Twitter know how chess endgames work?

new slack is unhinged

this is great, was on our roadmap for ages!

Warps Update As part of the transition to Neynar, Warp purchases will be temporarily paused and all warps will be refunded as USDC to Farcaster wallets. After a few days, Neynar will restart warp purchases which can be used for channels, signers and so on.

thank you for saying this, and for taking an early bet on us!

@rish where do i send bug reports ?

Who is going to tell him about Claude Code?

Never realized how many crypto people subscribed to Architectural Digest

Thanks to everyone for the kind words over the last few days. Change is always hard, and your support means a lot to us.

A lot of the people voicing train of thought this seem disappointed or nostalgic. Honestly, writing software with agents in these last few weeks has been the most fun I’ve had in a long time. Excited for the new era. https://x.com/rough__sea/status/2013280952370573666?s=46

Excited for @rish, @manan and the Neynar team to take over the reins. It's been an honor building with everyone here for the last 5 years.

I wonder how long it takes to prompt a farcaster client from scratch with claude Anyone tried it yet?

Great to see more social clients!

Steve Yegge taking a detour from building AI orchestrators to cash out his creator coins and then write a long post about it was not on my bingo cards for Jan 2026. I still don't think creator coins in their current iteration make sense for all the stated reasons, but this might be the strongest counter-signal yet. https://steve-yegge.medium.com/bags-and-the-creator-economy-249b924a621a

Developer Rewards Update We're pausing the developer rewards program. There is an increasing amount of spam activity, making it harder to reward developers working on valuable apps. We'll bring this back once we have a better model for rewards that is harder to game.
