Check out the curated feed on Cura to get some ideas about the type of content I think is high quality and unique.
Of course! As long as it’s your content, it’s no problem if it’s been posted before.
Nope. Just remember quality over quantity. I’d rather see one amazing post than 10 mediocre ones. But I won’t stop you from showering the channel with thoughtful love.
There is no rush to post. You have until Friday June 13 at 12:00 PM EST so take your time.
You can start casting June 9 at 12:00 PM EST through June 13 at 12:00 PM EST. Pichi reserves the right to highlight awesome content from before these dates. Proof of work matters on Farcaster and I don't want anyone to miss out while touching grass.
The main rule is the content must be original and yours.
Convince us to watch a show
Share a detailed review of an anime, manga, etc.
Tell us about your favorite OP/ED or OST
Make some fan art!
Show off your physical collection!
These are just ideas! Don’t let these limit your creativity!
The intention of this experiment is to reward high quality content and say thank you to everyone who’s helped shape this channel into a community!
Tipn is making this possible with their generosity and kindness. Please give them a follow and install their mini app!
To thank Tipn for their generosity and to keep the flywheel going, we ask that you take the "Tipn Pledge" to pay it forward next week. Consider taking a small percentage of your reward, use it to fund your own wallet, and set up Tipn to reward great content you find on Farcaster!
This is completely optional, but sincerely appreciated.

Imagine if every Farcaster user was given $1,000 today to help support more “interesting” content (however each individual defines “interesting”). How would you spend it? Assume the following rules: - spend it over the next week or lose it - no hoarding or trading - must be given to other people or projects, not to fund your own - no quid pro quo No need to think very broadly unless you want to. I’m curious how people might spend it to cultivate the niches that interest them.
I’ll add my answer to get the ball rolling. I would invest it in more giveaway challenges through /videolab to encourage video content across unexpected subject areas. Similar to the recent science challenge.
We had this with degen actually! But long term unfortunately it wasn’t sustainable
I really don’t know anything about degen or how it worked here. I’m curious! How did you decide where to allocate the 2-3k you were giving away?
Well, it was use it or lose it everyday. So there’s that, and it kept people engaged on the app! I had my favourite people I enjoyed tipping, like writers, artists I also tipped for Ukraine charities too. I would tip if the content was funny, made me laugh, or if that person was particularly helpful to me. I did get into a bit of minor controversy, because I had a lot to give away, so I started doing daily “questions” around mindfulness to spread out my tips. Like “who do you appreciate in your life” or “what’s one thing you’re grateful for today” to 1. Diversify who I was tipping to and 2. Make people more mindful. But others didn’t like it because they felt I was engagement farming (the algorithm at the time was more elementary, it technically would’ve boosted my engagement), and also people felt that degen should only reward “high quality” content that grows the network - unspoken etiquette. So I stopped doing it. But I regret that and should’ve continued because it was still within my value system to do so. And it was also my allocation to give out, otherwise it would’ve been lost in the nether!
I used to give away like $2-3k a month haha
I can tell you one thing I got was a laptop camera Reason being the age and storage on my phone has been an active hindrance to me filming something. I’ve been working on chipping away perceived boundaries until it’s natural to start
One of the (imaginary) rules is you can’t use the funds on yourself. Must be for others. What would you do with it instead? Also especially with Videolab I have been thinking about people’s phones a lot. This can be a serious barrier for creative work.
Great question and I appreciate the criteria you chose. My answer: I'd send $250 each to four under-the-radar writers as an expression of gratitude for the writing and gift labor they've already contributed on Farcaster. @tombeck.eth @trigs.eth @abundance @thecurioushermit
I respect the focused generosity.
you are too kind Danica!! 🫶
Don’t have to imagine. @tipn team sponsored the /anime-manga channel and it was fabulous. Got to thank folks who helped make the community special. Got some artists to showcase their original art. Good times were had by all! It was really fun and I’m super thankful for their support! https://paragraph.com/@pichi/dollar1000-to-the-best-anime-content-on-farcaster
That’s incredible - I remember this! Do you have a write up anywhere of how it went? Curious if you’d do anything different in how you structured it if given the same funding again.
I’d set aside even more time for curation. It took me about 20 hours to do!!!!
was gonna say we had this with degen but realized getting $1k up front is a bit different. with degen, you could only tip it out in feed, incentivizing the content that you liked. if i got 1k usdc instead, i think itd be smarter to use it for onboarding, maybe find 5 hq creators id like to see here and offer them preloaded wallets
This is one of the most interesting and unique responses in my opinion. Many of the other replies focus on appreciation, which is so important. But appreciation doesn’t directly solve problem of growth.
Same as how I distribute $tipn and $degen See great art send them tips
Makes sense. Tipping, even in small amounts, helps people feel appreciated and stay connected. Would you use the collectibles features instead of $tipn and $degen? If not, why not?
I would tip creators who’s content i love so they feel more motivated and seen to keep going
What type of creators are you loving in particular? Any specific niches, or a broad range?
I love anyone who is getting out of their comfort zone and trying i am not picky as i know how hard it is to start
I would invest in the making of a documentary I am making. Appreciation Economy
That’s awesome you’re making a documentary. One of the imaginary rules is you can’t fund your own project. Must be in support of others. What would you invest in instead?
id totally gamble it all on one creator
That’s awesome. Anyone in mind if you had to give it out this week?
If you still aren’t sure what to cast in the /anime-manga channel, I posted some ideas in the article below this cast! For example, #WatchItWednesday: Convince us to watch a show! One of my favorites of the last few seasons is “That Time I Got Reincarnated as Slime” Instead of another isekai anime with an overpowered main character sent to another world to be the hero, our MC is reincarnated as a lowly slime monster! This comedy flips the genre on its head and the lovable cast of characters makes you cheer for the monsters to win. It’s refreshing and a fun lighthearted watch.
