- My first Mirror article! Thoughts on airdrops and geography. Let me know what you think! https://mirror.xyz/ruz.eth/0Wq2uyoxciCl_9dm8DC7zByx4pZqjE0omyoGsRbcDvg?referrerAddress=0xfb702e95Fa231C5509487a9E99156003985FdB9e
- Thanks @push_ !
- I just claimed my $BONSAI reward on @lens/orb!
- Happy Easter to those who celebrate 🪺
- How is it 2024 and if I copy a mailto: email link and paste into Outlook To: field, it still doesn’t convert that to a normal email.
- Not one but TWO elaborate attack attempts on me this week. Diff accounts that followed me over a month ago. One was a simple fake link to an offer on my pfp. The other more elaborate, getting me to download an app with a trojan.
Funds are safu, I ran it on a dummy PC. But damn.
- Ethereum is the only example of a deflationary currency that I know of. So this argument is leveled directly at it.
I’ve stopped spending ETH (on all but gas), but idk if it limits my spending, I just borrow USD vs ETH and spend that? Hbu?

- Ethereum trading down on the news that it has successfully upgraded to scale 5-50x, enable new use cases, and increase burn capacity.
Naturally.
- Is it happening tonight???
- Airdropped $ 200 today (in $degen) for just using Farcaster. GM.
- Maybe ease up on the leverage, fellas. 35% APY to borrow 😅
- In Star Citizen last night, our org’s little salvage job got ambushed by an organized sting operation. They quantum locked us so we couldn’t jump away, and attacked our freighters with heavy fighters. The numbers were even and we fought them off for half an hour! But we lost.
- Ooohhh liking the new @orbapp UX!
- Is anyone else using Web3 Antivirus? I’ve had the extension installed for a few months now, and I really like it. With as much as we get bombarded by phishing emails, scam bot replies, scam DMs, etc., I feel like installing W3A should be standard security practice for everyone.
- What do you call a social media post that goes out across multiple networks simultaneously?
Multicast? Simulpost? Omnichat?
Whatever, this is my first one thanks to Yup.

- I made Cryptobot, it will explain crypto to newbies (and hopefully avoid indoctrinating them into cults, getting them to buy scams, or getting them rugged). Try it out and let me know how it goes! https://chat.openai.com/g/g-s6LmNu0GE-cryptobot
- I’m absolutely obsessed with Star Citizen. This is going to be the greatest game of all time. https://youtu.be/IDtjzLzs7V8?si=7OsjsGdUt66E1VxX

- the answer to all of this isn't to go down on your knees like a little bitch, begging your favorite billionaire to do what you want them to do with your favorite app
the answer is to build and use software, infrastructure, and applications that by their very nature cannot be controlled, censored, or paywalled
where account owners are the only ones who have control over their data and profiles
where users have an array of recommendation algorithms to choose from, not just the one being shoved down their throat meant to enrage and clickbait them into driving more and more ad revenue for the platform
the only way build in this way is by combining existing technologies with blockchains and decentralized storage protocols which enable public data and open apis that cannot be closed or limited by anyone
if you're on Lens you're already ahead of the curve, but there is still a long way to go!
- Lens Algorithm Playground
Today I'm releasing Lens Algorithm Playground.
It's an app that gives you an overview of various @lensprotocol APIs and algorithms available for developers building on Lens Protocol - the people-powered social layer.
The code is open sourced here:
https://github.com/dabit3/lens-algorithm-playground
You can try it out here:
https://lens-algorithm-playground.vercel.app/lens
I'll continue to add new algorithms as they become available from the community and ecosystem.
If you're an API developer, please feel free to submit a PR with your own updates!
The repo is also open for any other contributions 🫡
- I see what you’re saying and I think semantics is an issue here.
You’re saying open data can be scraped and “owned” by anyone, but I would say that it’s being “used” not “owned.” OpenAI could scrape Lens and train GPT5 on my data, and I would consider them to be Users of my data. Since my original data is onchain and I own it, I would consider myself the owner.
If there’s a world where asking ChatGPT to “write in the style of Ryan Fox” becomes valuable, I argue the value accrues to the original data, which is owned by me.
The Mona Lisa is valuable -because- it’s on tshirts and mouse pads, not despite it.
This is something I’ve started talking a lot about recently, actually:
The next era will be turning Followers into Users.
Own your data.
Train AI on your data.
Let people use your data.
Data ownership is crucial. If you want to listen to LoFi Grimes you can go to a music generator trained on her music which then makes brand new music in her style and is also LoFi. The value accrues to her music. It’s the same as using Microsoft Word to generate new data (documents). Word is a valuable app because it allows people to create new data. Now Grimes’ data and Gotenks’ data can do the same.

- Introducing the Lens SDK – your new go-to toolkit to create powerful experiences & applications for the social layer of Web3.
Developers rejoice! We have lowered the barrier to entry and made it easier than ever to create innovative, powerful, and engaging Lens apps and experiences. With the new Lens SDK you can plug into the Web3 social layer with just 10 lines of code.
Pick and choose the features you want - only the components you use contribute to the final size of your app bundles. These capabilities are all handled by the Lens SDK, allowing developers to focus on their core features.
The SDK is modular and composable. It seamlessly integrates with other Web3 projects, protocols, and tools such as @litprotocol.lens to enable token-gated publications.
Mobile apps have been some of the biggest success stories on Lens. The new SDK doubles down on mobile support, starting with React Native. With the SDK, you can build polished mobile apps without underlying knowledge of the Lens API or Lens Protocol.
Come build the future on the social layer of Web3.
Get started in our dev docs: https://docs.lens.xyz/docs/sdk-react-intro and dive into our latest blog here: https://mirror.xyz/lensprotocol.eth/LtJBLD6zX_P9EYdsJ2DrT9RaCbiE2vvtajF4Md6wHr0
- Goerli ETH should be free. So I had an idea to create a perpetually self-funding faucet to bring the cost of g ETH as close to zero as possible. Problem is, I can’t code.
I had GPT4 build out some rough contracts, and I copy/pasted them to a GitHub here: https://github.com/Ruzhyo04/GoerliFaucet
I need some help getting this code semi functional so I can try out my idea, which is this:
1. A vault to hold UniV3 NFTs
2. A contract to periodically claim the fees from those V3 positions, convert to ETH, and make a fraction of that available faucet style to any wallet that wants it (with reasonable limitations).
3. A basic front end hosted on IPFS to streamline deposits and faucet claims.
Submit some merge requests to make my code functional, or give feedback, or anything really! Please and thank you!
- Happy Easter everyone 🪺🙂

- What is earnable proof of humanity and how should it work?
Proving you're human could be extremely rewarding, basing human verification on the idea of earnable proof of humanity points could revolutionize Lens Protocol. These innovative points allow you to earn credit for completing tasks attesting that you are more likely real person, and could potentially unlock a variety of benefits in the online world. In this article, you will discover how proof of humanity points can change the way we think about online security and verification, and how they could help you take control of your online identity. There is many sound ways to prove humanity if you are willing to dox yourself like the infamous world coin’s scan your eyeball for tokens, which attests to your unique humanity. However, it is important that we be able to prove humanity without such rigorous breaches of humanity. This is where earnable proof of humanity points come in. Earnable proof of humanity points do not guarantee that an online account is human, instead the amount of points attest to the amount of human like tasks the online entity has performed. Or better said, the likelihood that a profile is being operated by a human is shown by its humanity points. One quick easy and dirty way to make the biometric test available without doxing is to generate zk-proofs off chain attesting to the unique humanness of your data, however this can be gamed like all other methods. Although, it could confirm the operator is human, with only zk-proofs on-chain it cannot attest that you have not been attested on-chain before, so the zk-proofing should only reward a capped amount of proof of humanity points. Then, there is another method of earning proof of humanity points through public attestations of past actions. This method would reward a capped amount of points to addresses that demonstrated publicly a proof of potential humanity. Did you use Uniswap 3 times this year? + 300 humanity points. Did you deposit onto AAVE? +350 humanity points. Did you mint a paid collect on lens? +1000 humanity points and so on. Additionally, this concept of earnable proof of humanity by a points system gets rid of the all or none idea that an actor is either a bot or human due to the goal of differentiation because that differentiation does not allow or account for errors in the model. Instead, earnable proof of humanity points provides a spectrum of chances that an online actor is a human as opposed to being objectively human. Another good example of a way to earn humanity points would be pop-up-shop quests. These quests would pop-up at random times for random durations. The quests should be things that are not predictable and easily botted, but able to be done by a human with on-chain verification. While not a perfect example of decentralized on-chain verification the “OP Quests” were an exemplary showcase of how this could work. A really strong way to have consistently well done quests in awarding points is to incorporate human intelligence tests into the quests especially by using visual illusions. Using visual illusions help humans combat bots because the bots do not have the same perception of the stimulus. Take the Titchener illusion for example, if you show a photograph of two equally sized balls, but one is surrounded by smaller balls and the other surrounded by larger balls, the equally sized balls will no longer look equal in size. A computer would perceive that the balls are equally sized no matter what, so this sort of test would generate high quality humanity points. Furthermore, there is the more rigorous proof of humanity test processed by humans themselves. You could fund and operate a peer to peer Turing test on people to prove their humanity. In this test, there would be a tester that would pay an arbitrary fee, then they would communicate in text chat with assessors that discern whether you could be human and get paid if their assessment is within the majority of the assessor votes, but acutely slashed if their vote is against the majority of assessor opinions. The amount of variations that can be brought about by these type of tests illustrate that no matter what, there are seemingly infinite ways to assess and give humanity points, but whose humanity points should be considered valid? Well, social consensus via a DAO should decide this manner. Humanity points should be issued by individual actors, apps, and protocols and a DAO should weigh the merit of each type of points value, and cumulate it into an universal humanity point super score that can be used to unlock human gated services and content. Therefore, an earnable proof of humanity points system would be extremely useful when screening bots in order to propagate the majority of services and content to potential humans.

- Going through the Alchemy University courses on Java. I’m a total coding noob, having trouble knowing where to put my ( ) { } ; symbols, when to indent, remembering all these definitions… anyone have any good beginner tips? How did you overcome this when you were new? Any basic resources I should use/know about?
- @nilesh love the @orbapp tutorials! Unfortunately on iOS they aren’t displaying properly. See attached.
- Learned about basic fundamentals of web3 on @orbapp.lens app, and got a dope NFT 😇
#orb #orbapp #orbsbt
- Anyone else getting offers on their profile?
- People have said that we need to move on from terms like NFT and web3, because of their negative associations by the general public. I don't agree with that at all. Their misunderstanding wouldn't be cured, it'd be worsened.
...But if we *have to* call NFTs something else, I vote we call them:
Ownership Tokens
