Pleased to publish my latest piece on @lens/paragraph exploring Runes protocol on BTC https://paragraph.xyz/@papajams.eth/exploring-runes-protocol Ordinals track/label satoshis based on the order they are mined/transferred. Inscriptions embed data (images, text, audio) into transactions via SegWit/Taproot. Runes are a more efficient token standard vs Ordinals' BRC-20s, reducing "junk" UTXOs that can clog BTC network. They present a new way for collections to airdrop tokens to their communities. One of the 1st Runes projects is $DOG coin (already $ 400m mcap!), airdropped to holders of his Runestones Ordinal inscriptions. https://x.com/leonidasnft/status/1783141155418390774?s=46&t=Mzh82nbovTS2hVetWoCw4A Runestones were airdropped free to circa 112k wallets that had 3 or more inscriptions on BTC There's an ocean of new Runes being minted on launchpads like luninexio, runes. Some are premined, others have zero/low premine. Once minted, tradeable on @lens/unisat_wallet , @lens/okx & @lens/magiceden. Note high BTC fees & long transaction times! Early Runes infrastructure is developing fast, I go through some key narratives & tools worth exploring. Thanks for reading, feedback welcome 🤗

Reading this autobiography by Wangarī Maathai, the (Kenyan) first black woman to win a Nobel prize. Unbowed: A Memoir The level of courage, determination, humility & passion it took to achieve all she did is astounding. Great podcast here too she speaks in with Krista Tippett about her journey: https://onbeing.org/programs/wangari-maathai-marching-with-trees/

if zurf could find a way to make it easy to cast in specific channels in Phaver or butterfly or ORB that would be cool. Would also love a way to mute and unmute profiles easily e.g. if a vid comes up of gardening but all i care about is gaming, would be cool to be able to lean into that

🌊🌊 FIRST WAV3 EVER WITH $ZURF 🌊🌊 Can't tell if there's ever going to be another one. 🤔 This is an experiment.🔬 You know the game, mirror, earn $ZURF. Ofc I will ban from any future airdrop those who go to sell it instantly 😂😂😂 We are about a couple of weeks away from the official launch. Beta-testers have been testing, struggling, and enjoying. We hope you really like what's coming, and no, it's not just wav3s in a mobile app. We aim to break the internet again, creating opportunities for everyone to make wealth out of their creativity and aping instincts. We'll be waiting for you. Zurfin🏄

$pointless problems in retrospect
PSA If someone has your passcode + steals your iphone they get access to everything (all bank, crypto, email etc accounts via keychain) IMMEDIATELY & can lock you out so even Apple can’t help Pay attention with the latest upgrade - it’s easy to click past / ignore (“not now” option I nearly clicked) but is super important as it instigates a cooling period of a week or so till changes take effect if someone with the correct passcode requests then. So you have time to report an isssue before getting locked out forever m. Some sad stories in this podcast to reflect how savage it is if this happens to you. Don’t let it. 🍎
The best time to raise for Lens-native apps is now. Do what you want with the information, anon.

I created this artwork in support of the @lens/pointless community. Each brushstroke reminds me of our unity and boundless creativity. Together, as we craft a vivid picture of purpose and passion, we embark on an exciting journey ahead. Only 69 editions are available, with just 200 $Bonsai required to mint each. 90% of the proceeds will go directly to the $pointless treasury.
We’re in a unique position to learn, and adapt, from those that have gone before us. I just published a piece examining 47 of the top most tips earned on farcaster via $degen and some lessons they may teach us around cultivating a builder & creativity focused ethos in the garden 🪴 Always absolutely ravenous for feedback, who will feed papa? https://paragraph.xyz/@papajams.eth/funding-the-future-on-farcaster-and-beyond-with-dollardegen
Not long ago I published an article on medium about the ways in which AI tools are democratising cinematography Feels like @club/electricfilm are the perfect case in point to study in this regard: https://medium.com/@ungethe/democratizing-cinematography-how-emerging-technologies-are-revolutionizing-digital-storytelling-6606463ce5d7

How sentences sounds when transformed into LinkedIn babble 😂 Is there a lens equivalent ? If you want to make responses available in $pointless I will collect the funniest ones
$pointless liquidity is fragmented between many assets (other social tokens like $electric or $chaos too) As such, friendly reminder to use Dex aggregators to get better prices (0x, DeFiLlamaSwap, Paraswap, 1inch) instead of using Uniswap directly 🌿
There is some TOP TIER scouting in this latest update. Seriously smart and powerful frens are joining the #Lens Garden and I'm grateful that @lens/papajams has rolled out the $pointless welcome mat for them! The $pointless leaderboard has been updated and once again, the ranking is quaking. Don't wait too long frens.
