I am *confused* by those who tweet/cast sentences with no capital letter after punctuation. At first glance it looks casual - like these people are too important and busy to care about writing properly for us mere readers of their gospel. But deep down you know that iOS toggles caps automatically after punctuation so they must actually spend more effort and time, not less, to toggle it off manually. What is going on here?
An interesting part of this is that they have built a solution for making payments reversible under certain circumstances, like fraud or dispute. Payments sit in escrow and are released by an “operator”, which can be anyone. This kind of infra is essential to making large-scale crypto payments work.
It would be awesome if more channels were open to posts from new users. Particularly channels about general topics relevant to a lot of people.
This would make it a lot easier for new users to engage on farcaster.
The Warpcast team updated their dataset of user spam labels a few hours ago. They have been doing this weekly for about a month and I have been going through the data on each release.
This update was probably the biggest change in the data in terms of the distribution of spam labels: After the previous release only ~9% of users with labels were labeled as unlikely to be spam and 42% as might engage in spam. The remaining 49% were labeled as likely to engage in spam (these are the three labels that exist - a user can also have no label).
After this release 18% of users are labeled as unlikely - doubled from before this update - and only 35% as might be spam. So there has been a big increase in users labeled as unlikely to be spam, which is coming from a relabeling of existing users. About 19k users who were previously labeled as likely to be spam and ~29k users who were labeled as might be spam are now labeled as unlikely.

When I press the button to share my top 9 on farcaster I get sent to the Warpcast web page and then I must click to get the app on iOS App store in which I click to open the Warpcast app but then unfortunately there is no sharing happening, just the usual Warpcast app.
Maybe Ethereum is now at a unique point in time and maybe it is only now that improvements to the L1 can be made with reasonable social coordination whereas some day coordination might be too messy to even try. At some point trying to change the L1 might be next-to impossible because rollups, wallets, foundation number 1,2,3 and 4 and many others all have so differing views on what to do and which tradeoffs to make that even the most trivial change is a political nightmare. Maybe we are at a unique moment in history that must be utilized to its fullest to build the best possible thing that might live for centuries the way it is now built.
