ZEROPOD SPOTLIGHT #3: "Obsessed with the Craft of Content" feat. Cameron Armstrong of Seemore.tv

If the internet decides what’s funny, Cameron Armstrong (@cameron on farcaster) has spent his career listening closely to find out. In this edition of our popular ZEROPOD Spotlight series, the Seemore.tv founder shares how he’s helping creators escape the “content algorithm lottery” and why our completionist instinct is one of humanity’s most underrated traits. We explore Farcaster’s journey from tight-knit weirdo haven to high-value creator launchpad, the challenge of minting new platform stars, and the magic of Mandarin oranges on sticks (what?) Whether you’re trying to build a personal brand, a community, or create content like his “OK Banger” podcast, Cameron’s got plenty of advice and anecdotes and you won’t want to miss this conversation. — TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - “Content Quality Arms Race” 00:47 - ZEROPOD Intro 02:05 - Crypto space needs more video content 04:15 - The Right Kind of Cringe 05:31 - The thing you can consistently do the longest is what you’ll be the best at 07:04 - The Cameron Origin Story: Military beginnings 08:32 - Harvard Business School 09:32 - E-commerce startup 10:35 - Illicit Farcaster Beginnings 11:50 - “A Bunch of Weirdos in a Room” 12:26 - Farcaster, then and now 15:09 - What is seemore.tv 17:58 - “If Linktree and Google Analytics had a baby” 20:55 - Badges for pod collectors 21:27 - Minting is a patronage behaviour for podcasts 23:00 - A minted episode is a creator tip with a lindy receipt 25:00 - The future promise of Ethereum Attestations 26:22 - The Seemore Story (pivot! pivot!) 30:00 - Problems with current business models for creators 32:00 - Conflicts of interest risk with advertising partnerships 34:00 - The advantage to bad actors in crypto 36:00 - The Seemore List 37:00 - The importance of finding values aligned sponsors for content 38:00 - Does Farcaster have enough interesting people? 40:00 - Rewarding creators is baked into the system on Farcaster 41:50 - The Content Valley of Death 43:00 - Problems with spam filters and dopamine triggers 45:18 - Cam’s got alts 46:00 - You don’t get to decide what’s funny on the internet 47:24 - Why is he bullish on Farcaster? 49:00 - OK Banger 50:53 - From Band Kid to Bangers 51:52 - Outro --- Podcast recorded by Toady Hawk, edited by Toady Hawk and Santhosh.

"Higher is a Mindset" with Martin Anquetil, founder of Higher and creator of Aether AI | ZEROPOD SEASON 2 E3

What does it mean to build a brand without a leader, a strategy, or even a plan? In this episode of ZEROPOD, I sit down with Martin Anquetil, one of the founders of $HIGHER, the headless memecoin brand redefining chaos as culture onchain.  We dive into everything from AI agents breaking bounty bots on Farcaster to an Ethereum stock split, the memecoin meta and the challenges of building a project based on a number-go-up meme even when number doesn’t always go up. Along the way, Martin shares lessons from his time within Nouns, explores the unique challenges of decentralization, and reveals what it takes to survive a 97% token price crash with your optimism and community intact.  We really enjoyed this conversation with Martin, and we hope you do too! — TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Figuring out “Can we do this thing?” while doing it   01:00 - ZEROPOD Intro   01:51 - The Martin Origin Story   04:00 - College and Interning at Google   05:00 - Oneshot by Topshot   07:00 - 2021 NFT Season Nostalgia   10:55 - Who the F**k is Buying XRP?   11:50 - Ethereum Stock Split Discussion  15:15 - First Impressions of Nouns   16:15 - Leaving TopShot to Explore Onchain Options   17:50 - Freelancing with Nouns Builder   19:19 - Agora, Explorer Grants, and Other Nouns Initiatives   20:00 - Mogu Mogu Mogu: Nouns Governance Tooling   24:19 - Starting $HIGHER   25:00 - Roots in /bullposting    28:00 - How Would He Launch Higher Today?   32:00 - The Strength of Builders Who Stick Through the Bear   34:00 - “Higher, Not Sideways”  37:30 - Quack Quack ⌐◨-◨:    38:50 - Is $HIGHER a Neo-DAO or Something New?   40:00 - Authenticity vs. Top-Down Control: The Higher Experiment   44:00 - Could $ANON Run a Higher-Like Playbook?   45:00 - Farcaster Users Speed-Running Speculation Lessons   47:00 - $ZEROPOD: Exploring Media and Tokens   49:00 - The Origins of $POINTS on Farcaster   50:50 - “Provenance is Culturally Emergent”   51:00 - Jacob’s Horse Meme and Its Viral Evolution   53:53 - What Is Aether?

#83 Happy Hour - James - Octant Oct. 18 2024

Today we visit with James from Octant with some big news to reveal! https://octant.app/ With the Ethereum switch from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake (opens new window)consensus mechanism, the Golem Foundation (opens new window), which is developing Octant, has decided to become a validator in the network (opens new window). The Foundation has staked 100,000 ETH to secure the network and assist in reaching consensus. In exchange for staking its Ether and serving as a validator, the Foundation receives a steady stream of rewards directly from the protocol (opens new window). A portion of these staking rewards is transferred to the Octant community every 90 days. Community members then decide, through individual actions and polls, how to allocate these funds. They can choose to either claim a portion of the reward for themselves or donate it to qualifying public goods causes.
