    well um but we’re so excited to talk
    about all things farcon right now farcon
    2024 Tuesday we went back in time and
    relived farcon 2023 with grin and
    Cameron and that was awesome and it was
    great to kind of look back for a moment
    and now look forward and I can’t even
    tell you how excited I am like I can’t I
    feel like it’s like better than
    Christmas it’s like um better than my
    bir it’s like all the things rolled into
    one I’m so excited and how are you guys
    let’s do a feelings checkin thank you Bo
    Shout Out Boys Club like I always give
    reference I always give a reference
    every time I say that but but feelings
    check in how how are
    you why don’t you go first easier
    question please that would be great
    all right we’ll start with an easy
    question we’re as excited I will say we
    are equally as excited feelings check in
    I am
    excited um that’s good I am also just
    candidly overwhelmed and I think uh so
    basically I don’t I don’t know if people
    know everything that’s happening behind
    the scenes but it is a colossal amount
    of effort um with not that many people
    uh there are amazing
    helping like you you’re invited right
    we’ll just say it live until somebody
    pings
    them um you know what I think that’s a
    really important point to start with
    this is a colossal effort if you’ve
    never done an event of like any size but
    especially something of this size and
    I’ve done something not quite this large
    I think my Max was like 300 and not this
    many events so it like first of all like
    major major love to all of you and to
    everyone else who’s in the background
    doing all the things because it takes so
    much work so I would love everybody come
    in coming close everyone listen if
    you’re coming to farcon or if you wanted
    to come to farcon or whatever your
    farcon connection is be nice just be
    nice to this team because they’re
    working really hard and it’s a lot to do
    so you know be kind choose your words
    light you know nicely and uh and uh when
    you slide into those DMS just don’t
    um find another way find another way I
    can offer some advice for choosing your
    words oh go the words you should choose
    are how can I help how can I help yes
    and that’s it yes and that’s it the only
    thing you can say and and if the answer
    is no thanks we don’t need any help
    that’s okay and that’s perfectly fine as
    well yes but that is that should be what
    you start
    with
    yeah anybody does want to volunteer
    please let me know because there are
    other tasks that we could use help with
    that is really good to know so and why
    don’t we um yeah let’s by the end of
    this call give us a way to filter those
    uh volunteers to you and maybe we can
    even just stick them on when we post
    this um recording we can have them just
    even tag in there and say that they’re
    available so you have it all in one
    place but you don’t have to get
    bombarded by DCS um so we’ll figure
    something out and direct you to that
    place to volunteer if you want to help
    with something um also if you even have
    like certain tasks that you want to
    filter we’d be happy to like try and
    help you find people for those T guys
    are the best thank you yeah well we’ve
    been there we know this you know we know
    that this is a lot so let’s dive into
    all the things so I want to start with
    uh I just want to show the website
    really quick and hit these important
    points um because I think they are
    important um yeah so your burning
    questions answered and it’s really weird
    when we get five people on the screen it
    looks completely different and I don’t
    have time to change it so sorry about
    that uh burning questions answers passes
    are sold out passes are non-transferable
    and soulbound you can find all events
    farcon organiz inside events on events.
    XYZ so if those are your questions start
    there
    um so we want to make sure that’s really
    clear and then we have um this where did
    I do with it I just want to show this
    really quick from uh this everything’s
    here all the calendar everything is here
    um Eric had posted it in farcon I know
    you had posted it as well so if you’re
    looking for what events are happening go
    check them out here and one note if
    you’re hosting an event go back in and
    make sure you’ve approved people I
    didn’t realize had to do that I thought
    they were getting Auto approved so it
    then when we hit the max or something it
    would max out but that wasn’t the case
    so people were like I’m still waiting to
    be approved and I’m like I didn’t know
    sorry so yeah if you’re coming to our
    event Friday you’ve now been approved um
    at least up until now so uh so now I’m
    gonna turn it over to you have questions
    about event
    XYZ the best person to Ping is Matthew
    uh at Matthew very straightforward shout
    out to Matthew this is so comprehensive
    to have all the events in like one
    actual place where you can RSVP using
    the same exact profile and it’s not like
    a thousand Eventbrite parti full Luma
    links so we’re really excited about it
    and thank you for bearing with any of
    the little bumps in the road as we’re
    using some newer onchain
    products I think that’s a really
    important point we’re using a lot of new
    onchain products and that’s the fun of
    foraster right is that we get to be beta
    testers inside a beta tester inside a
    you know beta test so it you have to
    have some patience with that as well I
    think I think that’s really important um
    and just the fact that sorry that um
    there’s so many new on shade products to
    use but when even when Ted and I were
    first starting this there wasn’t as many
    things to use and then just from
    starting to organize it in November and
    now the explosion of frames didn’t exist
    right yeah it’s incredible so um it’s
    been it’s been fun to see the tooling
    grow along with the event um not that
    it’s they did it because of our event
    but it’s just fun to see it’s it’s been
    really cool opportunity no they did it
    because of our event
    gram 100% Ted they weren’t thinking
    about it and then Ted Shed up and was
    like we need this in our we need this
    for the event you need to put it on your
    road map and they were like yes Ted and
    then Honestly though a few people have
    done that like that actually I’m like
    you know what you’re not really lying
    there I think that’s happened have
    actually developed and built out custom
    solutions for us so I do want to like
    say thank you to all of the partners and
    vendors who have actually like built out
    custom things to accommodate like farcon
    and everything I think that the things
    that they built out just makes our
    product like you know more flexible and
    more useful but we really appreciate all
    the unique things that were that were
    done for us do you have any specific
    examples that you want to share just so
    we can give them a shout out or yeah I
    mean like Ponder and Icebreaker have
    done a lot of custom work for us um
    paragraph did all of the custom
    development really Co for the lightning
    talks uh
    who am I I’m sure I’m forgetting like
    three other people Ted Graham
    if platform for yeah speaking of if you
    want a hackathon now you can just use
    event.
    XYZ page you go to yeah Icebreaker sorry
    go ahead Icebreaker with the passes
    Coupe also did kind of like onchain
    ticketing for to allow for extra people
    to come in Bas is doing a ton of awesome
    stuff yako with SCE and coinbase are
    also hustling too so there’s like
    there’s a lot um and I don’t I think
    it’s mostly the fact that they are going
    to get like 500 of the most onchain
    people in one place at a time so why not
    leverage that opportunity to at least
    have everyone be using the onchain
    products themselves so it’s been really
    fun to see everyone kind of galvanize
    around that I have a really important
    question is that hat going to be on sale
    at
    farcon this is a hat actually shout out
    to
    David it’s a David long hat and it
    actually says foraster Fridays on the
    back oh that’s amazing yeah so David
    furong is that a one one we want to buy
    it so if you could just whip that up
    real quick and throw that in a frame we
    love one um and I need it by you know
    Wednesday so that’d be great uh amazing
    and so let’s um take a step back for a
    second and just like walk through sort
    of the plan of events and then whatever
    else you want to share so Wednesday is
    sort of the welcome everyone’s coming in
    so shout out if you are a wow or we’re
    here wow or um moay subscriber for uh
    for us for GM forcaster we’re doing
    happy hour at hotel Irwin so go make
    sure you RSVP there um and then there is
    a welcome event that evening do you want
    to just give a quick overview of what
    that is and what that looks like and
    anything else on Wednesday
    yeah take
    that sure yeah I actually saw and I met
    the owners and they’re so cute um
    they’re a really adorable couple who
    essentially custom built out all of the
    floors that will be on on Wednesday so
    we actually have the three four floor
    venue one of which is a beautiful
    rooftop with like 360 degree views of
    Venice including the sunset so very
    excited there um beautiful like all
    along one wall upstairs bar inside um
    there’s even a pool and potentially a
    waterfall that might be turned on um we
    will have mocktails and Cocktails um so
    for everyone who doesn’t drink there
    will be options for you um that are not
    just water or water so don’t worry and
    we’re super excited just to have
    everyone walk in everyone will pick up
    their passes there so that is important
    um however capacity is limited we cannot
    hold all 450 plus passholders on
    Wednesday and I will throw that over to
    Ted to maybe talk about the caveats of
    attendance for
    Wednesday oh yeah we only upgraded the
    venue for Thursday and for all the
    nighttime events so feel free to have
    dinners and to go do your own drinks too
    and just come by and grab a pass but you
    might have to wait in line TVD um I just
    didn’t have capacity we didn’t have
    bandwidth to find a bigger venue for
    that but it should still be cool shout
    out to club and ens for for helping um
    put that event on as well so yeah
    they’re like my they’re like my second
    parents in Venice
    so able to have it across the street um
    yeah amazing that’s really fun I’m
    really excited to see all these
    different I’ve never spent any time in
    Venice I’ve been there once but I’m
    really excited to spend some time in and
    be in that in that area it sounds like
    it’s going to be amazing um okay so
    that’s our welcome we’re getting in
    there picking up passes chilling um
    grabbing dinner with your friends
    whatever you’re doing on Wednesday and
    then we hit the main event on Thursday
    this is the summit so originally was for
    200 people now
    bigger
    and what do we need to
    know pushing it it was really only gonna
    be for 180 175 so um it’s closer to 450
    now the venue is incredible um the whole
    intention is the same thing it’s like
    still um you know to convene and connect
    and celebrate uh we’ll kick it off kind
    of like doors open 9:30 to 10:30 Dan and
    Veron will kick it off at 10:30 so you
    won’t want to miss that um it will be
    like standing room only in the courtyard
    I think at that point for the main talk
    then we’ll head off into some breakout
    Gro breakout rooms and lightning talks
    Adrien is giving one of the lightning
    talks we haven’t announced the full
    lineup yet but we’re doing a a part two
    of your talk from last year um yeah do
    you want to um before we move forward
    hold on real quick Adrian do you want to
    talk real quick about that just briefly
    and because you’ve been putting some
    stuff together and I just want to show
    this surely people are sick of me
    talking about zius yeah I know
    but yes this was cool real yeah and we
    talked about this a few days ago but I’m
    going to be talking it’s a followup to a
    talk I did last last year about
    forecaster being the ultimate senius
    senius being the collective form of
    Genius so it’s not the one lone genius
    it’s people very decentralized kind of
    in this super cool scene um creating and
    building and uh over the past year
    there’s been a lot of you know the Vibes
    have changed foraster the senius is dead
    so I wanted to explore whether that’s
    true or not I am mapping out the
    forecaster ecosystem amazing and
    collecting who are who clients apps
    tools tokens media I actually have a
    whole other slide of community
    involvement stuff um as well and I just
    put out a bounty because my design
    skills sucky suck um and I’m gonna make
    my I have very uh my slide suck but I
    want so I want to create this into a
    really cool infographic I’m also going
    to create a spreadsheet to start listing
    these as well which we can maybe add to
    in in the future but you can amazing get
    a visual amazing so yeah you gave um
    yeah heavy weights looking at that going
    but um she doesn’t have time she doesn’t
    have time to grab that Bounty but Bounty
    up like within four seconds oh I can do
    it and then I had Ted’s voice in my head
    being like you’re doing too much stop I
    actually I dared you to respond because
    I wouldn’t have let you but I had
    someone respond within like four seconds
    being like I’ll help done cool so that’s
    amazing so continue on so we’ve got got

    amazing the far concert sounds fun I
    think a blast I will definitely be ping
    out by midnight um sorry CP but yeah
    there’s no way because then we have the
    next morning and we have GM forcaster
    live um with Dan and Veron and I’m so
    excited about that so bagels coffee if
    you uh decide not to sleep just come
    roll on in uh or you know get a little
    bit of sleep and then come roll on in
    and that’s going to be nine o’clock is
    when we’re opening up food and then 9:30
    we go live um and then what is happening
    Friday there’s a lot more other things
    besides not just about us um we are
    going to roll a little bit longer after
    Dan and Veron we’re going to just roll
    until about 10:15 with them and then
    we’re gonna continue on with uh Johnny
    Mack and Nick from UFO and few other
    folks to chat about onchain media for a
    little bit longer and then um there’s a
    whole bunch of other things happening so
    what else is happening Friday whoever
    wants to pick that up oh oh it’s the
    start of the hackathon so want to talk a
    little bit about that yeah far Haack who
    wants to chat about that mck you want to
    take that one yeah I can talk a bit
    about that um Dylan is not here but
    Dylan is really Dylan and Ted have
    really been going crazy on that um we
    are going to be at chapter one ventures
    in Santa Monica and we’ve got a space
    next door as well um there’s going to be
    we we took a little bit different tack
    this time which is a lot of times you go
    to hackathons and there’s huge bounties
    from different teams and then what you
    end up happening is somebody built
    something just to win the Bounty and
    it’s not really valuable to the
    ecosystem and so uh we had this idea to
    basically create just categories about
    different things around foraster itself
    and then Brands can sponsor that so
    everybody’s really liked it so far so
    we’re super excited and um I’m gonna be
    hacking all weekend so me and my son are
    gonna try and build something together
    which will be really fun and um yeah I’m
    super excited about it and that’s
    interesting because when we so Builder
    Dow um sponsored two eth to the
    hackathon but I when I was thinking
    about that I was like I don’t really
    want to put I don’t want it to have to
    be Nish or I don’t want it to have to be
    for Builder I just wanted to give you
    funds and be like we just want to
    support this and not have it be because
    I’ve seen that same thing happen where
    we end up with something that really you
    know it looks good because you threw
    noggles on it but it really wasn’t you
    know needed or whatever so we want to
    you know I didn’t want to put that
    constraint on it so I’m really glad to
    hear that sort of framing I think that’s
    really helpful and I think we’ll end up
    with things that are much more
    interesting and usable and might be
    sustainable down the road so I I love
    that approach it’s a great approach
    Dylan did one other thing that I think
    is really important he built a sort of
    intro to foraster developer tool and
    then it’s like an open-ended thing so
    any any of the sponsors are sort of
    adding their own tutorials that go on to
    it um and I’m just I think that’s the
    best way to do something like this where
    where there’s a whole intro class for
    developers because a lot of times
    hackathons are like you’re already an
    expert in all of web 3 use this Niche
    you know s ZK rollup tool and it’s like
    how about what’s a smart contract you
    know so I think Dylan did a really great
    job there actually on that um if I’m
    correct there’s also no code Solutions
    being offered on so you actually don’t
    have to be a software developer to be
    able to participate in the
    wow that’s amazing that’s really amazing
    that’s very cool to see um and those are
    the kind of tools that you know are so
    helpful too for everybody to be able to
    you know create and build and do all
    those things so now you’re talking my
    language okay no
    code I’m in no um okay so what else do
    we have anything else for Friday that
    you want to highlight that I didn’t that
    we didn’t mention already ton of side
    events but you know you can find those
    on the on the calendar we have we moved
    pickle ball the Saturday because there
    was just too much going going on so
    that’s now on Saturday and then Friday
    the other Premiere thing is Art night
    that we’re super excited about showas
    forecaster artists some interactive
    experiences too and then tons of onchain
    art activations so that is another big
    one that I’m excited for I just RSVP to
    that I’m like oh I didn’t RSVP to that
    one yet I gotta go grab a spot because
    that’s that’s exciting I’m I’m looking
    forward to that for sure and then uh and
    hopefully in between uh ding an app of
    some sort so uh before that but I’m
    really excited for that uh okay so let’s
    move on to Saturday we have a few things
    going on then I know there’s a few side
    you know separate events from like SE
    club and things like that happening what
    else do we have going on you mentioned
    pickle ball what else is happening
    Saturday for anybody who is gonna still
    be
    there the receipts run with Stephen
    Victor I’m excited for that on Saturday
    morning I will be going and jogging I
    think there’s also a surfing thing
    either beforehand but you can like go
    for a run and then hop in the water
    before after whatever you want to surf
    and then I think there’s also going to
    be a skate park um a little something at
    the skate park as well so that’s also
    exciting very cool very cool um I hadn’t
    heard the the skate park so that’s neat
    um and oh yep there it is hold on let me
    show that I’m just going to show it with
    without us so that everyone can actually
    read it um so that’s very cool and then
    we also have a few other things
    happening the photo walk that’s pretty
    neat if you are a photographer um check
    that out and um Builder brunch also is
    happening at noon and then pickle wall
    um then we go to Sunday with the
    community cleanup coffee and chill um
    farcon closing lunch and the farewell
    Beach hang so uh if you’re still there
    on Sunday which I will be um I’m looking
    forward to that the farewell beach the
    beach hang sounds like it’ll be your
    time to
    decompress
    team Ted Ted Eric everybody what time
    does the when does Far the far hack End
    by the way is that Saturday or Sunday

    hackathon winners there as well so yeah
    amazing that’s at the hackathon venue is
    that what you mean or at the other ven
    okay back back to so that everyone can
    be in the same spot great amazing all
    right so what did I forget anything from
    the schedule anything you oh I know what
    I forgot I know what I forgot Miss Ted
    um this was neither Rand hypothetical we
    need to talk about this real quick uh I
    don’t think this was random or
    hypothetical are we getting tattoos or
    what I think this is what we need to
    disc I can neither confirm nor deny
    right
    now all right all right well I I have my
    ideas ready to go so I’m uh I’m in they
    are tto they would be predetermined
    tattoos so you choose from some which is
    why we had to ask interesting
    okay somebody to do maybe maybe not I
    guess we’ll see I guess we’ll see not to
    convince me to do alternative designs I
    don’t
    know we’ll have like there may be an
    official very nice tattoo booth and then
    Erica may be set up in a very dingy
    closet for for just if you’re like you
    want something different
    go it’s The Unofficial tattoo Booth The
    Unofficial tattoo Booth okay I’m I’m
    scared but intrigued I am both scared

    getting lots of stuff sent um and
    there’s a lot of vendors that are going
    to be there um yakobo is really cool
    he’s just if you want if you want to
    sell something he’ll make it and send it
    there all you have to do is create a
    slice store so he’s really done a great
    job of making it super easy for people
    to sell stuff on chain um coinbase
    Commerce is also doing it so there’s
    actually two options for vendors too or
    for like Merchants which is great so

    but I can’t say it out loud okay we sign
    off hold on for one second when we sign
    off I want to yeah before we end I just
    I from literally the very very bottom of
    my heart and every single person’s heart
    I just thank you for the ridiculous
    amount of work and high standards that
    you’ve had um and I know you’re doing it
    for the money because you’re getting
    paid and all that and that’s
    great that’s sarcasm people in case you
    didn’t know a laptop is like yeah but I
    know it’s labor love but it’s um it’s
    it’s going to be incredible there’s for
    you I just my advice to you guys as
    organizers there’s going to be a million
    things that go wrong
    and No One’s Gonna care no one and it’s
    not going to change anything and it’s
    going to be a a phenomenal Unforgettable
    once in A- lifetime event that I am so
    excited for do we have time for one
    question for each of you before we
    wrap yes it’s
    Monday faron’s over what’s like looking
    back what’s your what’s like your one
    memory from the weekend or one thing
    that each of you have that made it super
    special for you
    I can go first I think
    um a just like being able to like um
    will this thing to life I think Graham
    and grin like uh set a great or gr
    Graham not Graham grin and Cameron set
    like set an amazing foundation and I
    think this year it’s just had to be like
    categorically different to reflect the
    state of farcaster today and so it’s
    really just like wed something out of
    nothing and so just to like see it come
    to life will be special and then it’s
    also really special that I get to um
    thank you to everyone again for helping
    fund my sister to contract her but I
    think it’ll be really special that like
    my sister and my mom will be able to
    like help participate and support and
    like see this thing that is so
    meaningful to me like they’ve heard
    about it they’ve seen warcast but I
    think to see the community in real life
    will be really special for me so that’s
    what I’m excited about
    amazing Erica how about you next um I
    would say I’m a big Community Builder
    I’m a big connector I love like finding
    meet each other and bringing them
    together and literally just watching
    like a relationship Blossom whatever
    that relationship may be so the fact
    that I get to do this for like almost
    500 people that are all insanely
    talented smart you know curious
    ambitious people that I want to see
    succeed that is like a very very
    rewarding experience for me and for
    everyone who knows what happened with my
    health and everything a few months ago
    um this whole like event and experience
    has been absolutely life-changing for me
    so I just want to say thank you to like
    everyone who gave me the opportunity to
    join the team and welcomed me with open
    arms literally messaged Graham and I was
    like yo like you’re doing Faron I think
    it would be really fun if we did a
    community oriented brand or The Design
    Channel helped and Gram’s like yeah come
    on in like help us out and that’s how it
    all started so I’m just very grateful
    for all of the opportunities and all of
    the friendships that I’ve made along the
    way and I can’t wait to meet everyone
    else in person and just see everyone
    meet and like vibe off of that energy
    yeah Excuse me while I go cry yeah no
    notes no
    notes done um I I I agree wholeheartedly
    um just a fun caveat about that story I
    Ted and I had spoken we’re like we
    should get er to come help us with
    design and then Erica messaged and was
    like hey can I help and was like duh of
    course we’d already asked
    um and you were like well maybe I don’t
    know if we need that help I really want
    to like we were about to beg you but
    okay yeah we’ve already got already got
    others no um I think I’m extremely
    conscious of the fact that these are the
    good old days right um and so the eat
    Denver Meetup was incredible just like
    this wonderful 48 Hours of being with
    people that you spend all this time
    online with I think we’re all
    permissionless Le on the Merkel team
    which is the luckiest thing that anybody
    could have if you want to be in Tech
    right now um and so this event is gonna
    be that like do you remember when it was
    that small thing and so I’m just on
    Monday I’m gonna try and really hard to
