- Quite a bad row for Farcaster. It really is just another centralized thing with some web3 sprinkles on top. Who could have thought.
- I know this is an unpopular opinion (and I certainly don't want to diminish the work @lens/orbapp put into their V2), but I personally liked the V1 UI more.
Felt more sleek, less bulky (compared to v2), provided both a good quick overview on the feed¬ifications as well as a nice feed for doomscrolling.
There are some things/functionalities in V2 that are better than V1 sure - but overall, V1 was a better fit to open up frequently (again: for me personally. It's ok if V2 rhymes better with you)
- Gm it’s a rainy Sunday today ☔️
- How does VISA/Mastercard make money? This 6-step diagram shows the economics of the credit card payment flow:
1️⃣ The cardholder pays a merchant $ 100 to buy a product.
2️⃣ The merchant benefits from the use of the credit card with higher sales volume, and needs to compensate the issuer and the card network for providing the payment service. The acquiring bank sets a fee with the merchant, called the “𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞.”
3️⃣-4️⃣ The acquiring bank keeps $ 0.25 as the 𝐚𝐜𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐮𝐩, and $ 1.75 is paid to the issuing bank as the 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞. The merchant discount fee should cover the interchange fee.
The interchange fee is set by the card network because it is less efficient for each issuing bank to negotiate fees with each merchant.
5️⃣ The card network sets up the 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐬 with each bank, which pays the card network for its services every month. For example, VISA charges a 0.11% assessment, plus a $ 0.0195 usage fee, for every swipe.
6️⃣ The cardholder pays the issuing bank for its services.
Why should the issuing bank be compensated?
► The issuer pays the merchant even if the cardholder fails to pay the issuer.
► The issuer pays the merchant before the cardholder pays the issuer.
► The issuer has other operating costs, including managing customer accounts, providing statements, fraud detection, risk management, clearing & settlement, etc.

- New art by V4WENO at Diamond Gallery!
V4WENKO https://twitter.com/v4w_enko is a very talented artist I've recently discovered and patronized. https://linktr.ee/v4w.enko I promptly placed my purchased pieces in Diamond Gallery, but that's only 1/4rh of the work: people have to see the art for it to 'live' and be remembered. To see great but largely unsung contemporary works of art, visit Diamond Gallery (no login or download, on any device) today. https://www.voxels.com/parcels/2997 DGal is on the roof, so click 'Roof' on the Levelator or press F and fly there. For some reason the link to the specific DGal location isn't working. But, yes, I did think of that.

- With the recent launch of MetaMask Grants DAO, ConsenSys the company behind Metamask is focusing on mainly decentralization.
And decentralization involves community engagement.
So, we can expect the $MASK or $MM token to launch soon through an #Airdrop to it's user community.
Here is a guide, where I explore the possible eligibility coniditions...
A thread 🧵
1. Metamask swaps
I think most of At leastyou might have already done this. If not...
- Download the extension
- Use the swap feature
- At least do a 100$ volume and 2-3 swaps.
- Currently active on these networks: ETH, BSC, Matic.
Link: https://metamask.io/
2. Multisigners
- Use gnosis safe.
- Try to do at least 10 transactions
Consensys is one of the investors in Gnosis Safe
Link: https://app.safe.global/welcome
3. Gitcoin Donors
- Donate atleast 10$
- Setup the gitcoin passport as mentioned in my previous thread.
- Layer 1 checkout [Use standard checkout]
Link: https://gitcoin.co/grants
4. Portfolio Dapp and Bridge
They recently launched their portfolio checking dapp along with a built in Bridge.
- Use the bridge
- Do atleast 5 transactions.
The bridge currently supports ETH, BSC , Polygon, Avalanche
Link: https://portfolio.metamask.io/
5. Layer 2 users
They could also airdrop to Arbitrum, Zksync and Optimism Users.
6. Infura
Consensys owned infura is also focusing on a decentralized environment with rumours of a $INFURA token on the round.
They have an "Early Access Program for a New Decentralized Infrastructure Network", which I think is worth filling up.
Link: https://www.infura.io/resources/network/decentralized-infrastructure-network-early-access-program
7. zkEVM private bet testnet participants
I recently posted about the beta testnet application on this platform: https://twitter.com/its_airdrop/status/1590421207262056449?t=P6Z7uMDKuOz_5IwyzKp99g
Which sadly is now closed...
8. You can also check the dapps and projects that consensys is involved with here:
https://www.mesh.xyz/portfolio
And you can find out some alpha on your own...
Involves many of NFT, Gaming, Defi, DAO and metaverse related projects.
That's all for now...
