GM! It's been a busy week with 2 guests -- @chaskin.eth from the Ethereum Foundation and THE @toadyhawk.eth chatting @betrmint -- plus CastOut starting this past Monday and the players have been yoinking, meme-ing and we even saw the return of /fctrivia! This weekend the players have been dropping reality show style confessional videos -- check out the /castout channel and vote for your faves with your likes! Oh, and you can even ask @bracky what the CastOut market looks like. Thank you to all the CastOut prize pool sponsors: Lil Nouns DAO, Octant and Purple! And thank you to Degen our reward challenge sponsor! Keep up on all the fun by following the /castout channel and watching our updates each day at noon ET. (and see this past week's updates below)

Thanks to our Premier Partner Octant

In addition to being our premier partner, Octant is also sponsoring CastOut! There was even an Octant question in the /fctrivia challenge (and we dropped a hint some players picked up on). We're so excited for the retropgf round sponsored by Purple and Octant. Follow the /purple channel and @tayyab for more info on the upcoming round. Thank you Octant for supporting GM Farcaster AND the whole Farcaster ecosystem!

GM Farcaster ep244 Monday May 12, 2025

From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s GM Farcaster begins with the usual scheduling chaos, where time is a suggestion and countdowns are an art form. Between leaderboard drama, Far Poker’s chaotic launch, and Clanker’s existential crisis (who knew bots could feel sad?), this episode is a wild mix of news, memes, and the eternal struggle to keep up.

GM Farcaster ep245 Wednesday May 14, 2025 with @chaskin.eth of the Ethereum Foundation

From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s GM Farcaster is part meme breakdown, part leaderboard drama, and part crypto fairy tale as Yes2Crypto finally gets his wish granted—Matcha adds limit orders on Base after 180 days of relentless memeing and manifesting. Between Cast Out chaos, immunity idols, shirt bushels, and philosophical debates about mini app engagement strategies, the episode reminds us that in Web3, persistence pays off... and sometimes even gets you merch.

GM Farcaster ep246 & CastOut ep5 Friday May 16, 2025

From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s GM Farcaster features ToadyHawk and Betrmint joining the chaos as CastOut votes are revealed, alliances crumble, and the leaderboard turns into a battlefield of emojis and regret. Between DX Terminal 80s style banners, and the hosts attempting to run a live show with and audio issues and zero caffeine, it’s a beautifully unhinged episode full of crypto drama and CastOut induced betrayal.
