- $PEPE MEXC listing in less than 24 hours, then it's 420. It's all up here! Almost 20K holders
- Look deep enough
- You guys think $ARB goes up from here and moves up the total market cap list even more?
I'm not 100% convinced...
- #Starksheet partnered with Starknet.ID, allowing every owner of a Starksheet sheet to create 225 free (+ transaction cost) ".onsheet.stark" subdomains, directly from the sheet.
Imo that's fun - because it works, it's probably a bit #Starknet nerdy ;-) and unfortunately it's not for free.
required:
1️⃣ 1 Starksheet sheet (0.01 ETH)
2️⃣ save the smart contract call (0x372bc172be19d7cc89bf8db93a0c40bb6502647a78358ef0fca043bb15b584.register("yourSubdomainName")) - in an arbitrary cell of the sheet - and mint the subdomain (approx 0.0012 ETH transaction cost)

- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [April 2023 update]
(0 a) maybe consider adding some information about yourself and a pfp to your profile before you start.
(0 b) "hello world" posts get quite some attention ... 😉 . (if you can post something related to what you are interested in ... 🎇 -> People you start following might take a look at your profile and follow if they are interested in the content you share.) Find one great example at the end of the post.
(1) https://lists.inlens.xyz/lists/818891525288558593 *updated* - list of great profiles to start your lens journey ... you will discover a ton, worth following profiles in the communities of people in this list. lists.inlens.xyz/ in general is a great starting point.
(2) find your twitter contacts on lens: inlens.xyz/ (not everyone with a lens profile, active on twitter, is very active on lens (yet ;-)). Maybe consider connecting with new people, sharing interesting content on lens.)
(3) probably you read this post on @lenster.lens . If you are interested in lens mobile apps, @orbapp.lens and @buttrfly.lens (iOS) are at the moment - imo - the most advanced general purpose lens mobile apps. One of the beautiful things regarding lens is that it doesn't matter which lens app you use, every lens app has access to the same content and social graph.
(4) what you share on lens is stored and publicly available for a very long time. Probably *forever*. You can hide posts, comments and mirrors. But that's a front-end feature, the data is still available and publicly accessible.
(5) "collects" are a very powerful concept, adding a NFT version of the post to your address (4th symbol below a post on @lenster.lens ). Collects can be monetised -> creators can use collect fees to earn money on lens.
one more thing :-) being active, commenting on posts and topics you are interested in goes a long way. Of course there is a chance that your posts will be discovered, commented and mirrored, but you increase the probability of being discovered dramatically with valuable comments.

airdrop alert!
- Might regret it but I sold my ARB for WBTC. Maybe early, but take profits and shift your portfolio more conversative when you can!
- I'm bullish but also tempted to sell all my ETH and wait for a cheaper buy in. I don't think it's all up, at least not yet.
- GM! 🌿
Leave a comment, a drop might be coming 👀
- If there is a LENS airdrop, it should be heavily usage based. Buying a handle and not using it should not be rewarded.
- I just voted "Yes ser 🙌" on "Do you like the Snapshot integration with Lenster?" https://snapshot.org/#/yoginth.eth/proposal/0x9287c40edcd68c362c7c4139fe3489bbaaa27cf4de68be5c218a82d0f252e718 #snapshotlabs
- ALERT: **Sushiswap** hacked. If you’ve interacted with the contract in the last few weeks revoke all approvals immediately.
- Everyone go and update your dispatcher on lenster. We are load balancing the dispatcher out (10x increase in dispatchers), and if you upgrade to one of the new dispatcher, you most likely will see a considerable improvement in the speed of it being sent on-chain, on top of having less fight for queue space. It requires a signature but it’s worth it! 🚀🙌🏼

- 📚 **Fun fact about posts on #Lens!**
They can be hosted on either centralized or decentralized resources.
Decentralized ones cannot be deleted. A better name for the "Delete" button (@lenster.lens) in this case would be "Hide" because, technically, it is more accurate. Such a post can still be viewed even after deletion.
On the other side, centralized ones can be deleted if you or anyone else can access the centralized host. Or better, if a post owner can delete it, he can also change the content. So, when you see a post, you can only be sure that the content will stay the same once you know whether it is centralized or not (better not to believe in bet predictions on Lens, right?).
And since comments are technically still posts (but with a reference), we can edit them as well and make some dirty game. In general, there will be no edit tracks unless the comment's content has been uploaded to some sort of archive.
That was my first thought, but then I dug a little deeper. The trick won't work with the default Lens indexer that everyone uses nowadays because it indexes posts only once after transaction confirmation on #Polygon. So, basically, it copies your post to the indexer's DB, and later, when you use Lenster or some other client, you don't get the data from the actual post's content URL but from this DB.
I wondered why it works like that because this means the indexer's DB won't represent the actual state of the blockchain in some cases. I've written in the Lens Discord, and the answers were as follows:
https://discord.com/channels/918178320682733648/1080136391989669989/1080230235854864446
@cesare.lens: "To be clear the blockchain data is not changed, on-chain each post|comment has a content URI that cannot be changed. The contentURI has to point to a public location. From an immutability perspective a "purist" would argue to use an immutable data storage (e.g. IPFS) still the Lens Protocol does not stop you to use a URL you control. The indexer is driven primarily by on-chain events to determine what and when to fetch contentURI. Updating the file won't cause a chain event so simply updating the file won't work."
@wagmi.lens: "We will add a refresh endpoint soon it's on the radar"

- Dear Lens fam, what is the Future of Social for you?
At t2, we believe the future social networks should revolve around our values, not just what grabs our attention. We want to foster meaningful connections with others, share what helps us achieve our goals, and enjoy articles that empower us.
We have witnessed how the Lens community celebrates genuine creativity and friendship. We believe our values and mission align closely with those of the Lens community. So, we are excited to bring a new type of writing and reading platform to @lensprotocol, starting with our manifesto. manifesto.t2.world
⏳ If you are on board with this vision, **sign the Manifesto** with your value propositions and complete all steps. You will receive a personalised card to showcase your values and **early access to the t2 alpha product**.
**If you are a writer, follow us and comment below with your favourite piece of writing by you. We will follow back!**
- I'm saying my piece in the #futureofsocial by signing the @t2world.lens manifesto. Which values do you support?

- Opensea could get the market share back just by loosely hinting at the fact an airdrop is coming but the snapshot has not been taken. Even without putting it in direct words or promising it, it could drive huge amounts of volume to the protocol.
- I think we'll see Starknet airdrop next.
Hopefully followed by a Lens airdrop!
ZKSync won't be until late 2023-early 2024.

- Unsure about Metamask airdrop. They could randomly announce it any day now, or they could tease it out over the next few years to get artificial swap usage and therefore revenue. Letting it psychologically hang there is a pretty good marketing strategy if you ask me!

- Pretty nuts that $ARB has the volume that it has!
- Should Lens be on its own network or rollup?
- Yess, we need to start using more - everything - web3!
- Last Stable Diffusion piece.
Next series will be me creating prompts using ChatGPT3.5 then inserting them into DALLE/Stable Diffusion. Stay tuned!
