GM Farcaster ep264 Wednesday July 9, 2025 with @tike from Noice From our ChatGPT Intern: Technical glitches couldn’t stop Prof and Adrienne from streaming live in their “New England B&B chic” backgrounds to cover everything from leaderboard dog drama (shoutout Everyday Bailey!) to vertical video anxiety and programmable social chaos. The highlight? TK from Noice joined to chat about their recent airdrop while Adrienne admitted she'd rather write scripts tounfollow 2,311 people than figure out how to post a 30 second clip of her own face.

How Creator Coins Actually Work (And Why Most Fail)
The trio returns while David’s on beach duty. Coop accidentally launches his creator coin, the fellas cover the state of onchain creation, what’s working, and what still feels broken. 🔟 Top Moments (03:00) Daniel Allan laser show recap – nearly sold out, first show with full production. (06:30) Coop's late-night Zora token launch – unintentionally launched his creator coin at 5:30am in a diner. (08:20) Creator Coin strategies – posting videos, airdropping to top holders, experimenting with Noise. (09:30) Are creator coins working? – discussion on upside, missing mechanics, and how activity drives value. (12:20) Farcaster vs Coinbase Wallet – video wars heating up, platforms converging on short-form content. (22:50) New Coop Records platform launch – email signups, coin sections, follow features, credits instead of ETH. (25:50) Song coin economics – using mint fees to buy back tokens; focus on rewarding tastemakers. (17:10) Onchain monetization still lacking – long tail can earn $500, but no breakout case for high-profile creators yet. (35:00) Tokenized stocks on Arbitrum – Robinhood, Kraken, and maybe Coinbase exploring stock coins. (42:00) Conferences vs Building – crypto events losing their edge; focus shifting to product and strategy.

GM Farcaster ep261 Wednesday June 25, 2025 presented by Octant Thank you Octant for supporting GM Farcaster for the past three months! We love having you as a premier partner! From our ChatGPT Intern: The show opens with a spy-sized Stanley cup and a confession that Prof’s TikTok is basically BravoCon in algorithm form, but things get serious(ish)with leaderboard drama, spam label policing, and a call for non-crypto content that doesn’t rot your brain, while reminding us all that “unregrettable minutes” spent on an app should be the goal—not a two-hour doomscroll throughUtah mom drama. AND the Los Fomos crew join to talk about building community with vibes, glitter, and memes—proof that Farcaster can have high-quality culture and a good party.

GM Farcaster ep241 Monday May 5, 2025 From our ChatGPT Intern: Still buzzing from FarCon, NounishProf and Adrienne hop on an unscheduled GM Farcaster to recap everything from AV chaos and endless stairs to surprise egg memes and a now-legendary beer pong tournament in a Bushwick loft that felt like an 8-bit rave. Between discussions of anonymity and debates about FarCon's future scale, the duo somehow manage to sprinkle in mini-app paywalls, Clanker drama, and heartfelt takes on the soul (and soul-crushing logistics) of community-led events.
