Jokes aside, I appreciate each and every donor who intended to help fund the event and donated via the crowdfund.

If you have donated your contribution has been refunded. Argentina is several months away and happening in November. I am also in comms with the EF for a small 1k grant. If you are a crypto company who wants to make Farconnect @Devconnect Argentina happen you can collect this post for 0.69 ETH to fund the event. Funds go to farconnect.base.eth and will cover costs of the event.

FarHack during Farconnect TBD.


I launched a coin - there is no airdrop lol

In my previous post I broke up with Zora, and a week later I launched a coin with the purpose of incentivizing crowdfunding donations. It was an interesting experiment, possibly the worst timing of a launch but since the crowdfund has been unsuccessful I will not be doing any airdrop instead I will sell the supply back in order to retrieve cost. I feel good about this because the mcap only ever reached less than 8k.

One more token...

Together with an artist I have been working on and off on a milady pfp collection. If you want to see some sneak peak feel free to send a DM. I have already commissioned the artwork and promised an additional 6.9% on each mint to the arist.

I havent had decided what to do with the funds yet - until, now that is: the first 5k will go towards Farconnect Argentina. If you want to be reminded about the launch you can sign up to this newsletter, I treat Paragraph as my personal blog tho so there will be a lot of random posts.

Also, sidenote: Shit is hitting the fan geopolitically. We are living in unprecedented times, take care of yourself, your loved ones and each other.

I used to publish my photography on instagram which I stopped after I quit the platform in 2022.

I saw Zora as an amazing tool for me to continue what I loved doing and this time to finally do it onchain. I did not expect to make a living from my Zora posts, but I wanted the joy of seeing my own collection grow. In fact, I wanted the joy of photography again. (There is more to this story...) Zora moving completely away and out of NFTs is a devastating rugpull and I will delete my Zora posts and refunding my subscribers. I will also start publishing my photography at some point as my personal posts.

So, that out of the way, today I launched the Farconnect Taipei open mint-edition. All proceeds go to farconnect.base.eth to help me fund future meetups. Next one is happening in Taipei and is proudly sponsored by Base. And the Farconnect after is comming to Devconnect: Full-circle, where Farconnect originally started during Farconnect at Devconnect on Nov 18, 2023.

Farconnect is coming to Taipei and Devconnect is next

Taipei tickets are live on farconnect.xyz, No farcaster account, no entry. No luma ticket, no entry. Farconnect Taipei is proudly sponsored by Base.

I also created this open-mint edition for Farconnect Taipei to help fund future Farconnects, like the one coming to Devconnect. All mint proceeds go toward meetups. If you like to keep updated for early tickets for Farconnect at Devconnect you can send me a DM @emr.eth on Farcaster.
