$lemon3 news For the past 2 months, I used /glanker to distribute revenue generated by my pet projects to the top 100 $lemon3 holders. I don't think this has had any effect to the token value, or any practical effect to token holders. Starting this month I stop the monthly distribution. I will keep $lemon3 as my creator/dev coin in @cobuild. Overall, I'm not very bullish on this model for creator/dev tokens, at least not if they are issued using the clanker model. Maybe a different issuance model, or some other type of tokenomics, but still, going through all this trouble, and making a vague commitment to 1000 people to get a few bucks, is not worth it for me.

Has anyone successfully vibe-coded a native (swift ui) macOS app? I'm thinking of building a lemon3 client that will: 1. Connect to a Farcaster node 2. Fetch a user's feed 3. Find lemon3 embeds (see @fc1 timeline for examples) 4. Download the media files. I have no experience in macOS native dev (I had tried years ago, when ObjectiveC was the only way, so I'm aware of the toolchain), and I have some basic familiarity with Swift but never written a full app (not even a small one). Do I have any luck? https://github.com/vrypan/lemon3

The current lemon3 Empire treasury is $166 (USDC and WETH). Like last month, I will distribute it (weighted by score) to the top 100 users on the leaderboard. (*) Remember, the treasury is refilled each month with the revenue generated by @wdimapp, and @l--o--l and NiftyWalls mints. Check your ranking 👇 (*) This month, I've excluded by personal $lemon3 balance (15% of total supply, allocated at token launch) which resulted to a score an order of magnitude higher than the second best, so airdrop allocations will be higher. https://www.empirebuilder.world/empire/0xe0907762B1D9cdfBE8061aE0Cc4A0501fa077421?cache_bust=1756636615167

If find it amazing how much onchain activity is generated every time I react to a cast: - @noiceapp sends a tip in $lemon3 - @tipn sends a tip in $USDC - @cobuild swaps an amount of $USDC to the cast creator's coin These "social emissions" are a mind-blowing phenomenon that we take for granted just because we are used to it. (Not to mention tips in $DEGEN, recently $BETR, etc)

I setup cobuild. Now cobuild users will *buy* $lemon3, when they interact with my casts. 1. I love the model. This is how social tipping should work. 2. It doesn't work with new users onboarded to crypto, who don't have a coin. 3. 99.99% of you, who read this cast and will setup Cobuild, will give a like before setting it up. 4. I need a meta-tipper that will pick the right service to use, between noice, tipn, cobuild, per case. https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/XTipkfp9jZBu/cobuild

** $lemon3 update ** I call $lemon3 my "devcoin". The idea was that holders support me to work on my projects by buying the token. I have always said that it should not be considered an investment, but mostly a donation. Most of my time is invested in Open Source projects, anyway. That said, I find it fair that $lemon3 holders get some exposure to the upside of projects I build and generate some revenue. In the past, I tried attaching some utility to the token, for example analytics.pingem.xyz require a subscription paid in lemon3. I also considered burning, and the usual. But tbh, all these approaches seemed like trying to pump the token price artificially. To what goal? So that I or other holders sell at a higher price? I wouldn't sell. I did not, even if I really needed the money, during the last couple of months. As for artificially created utility (because, let's be honest, it was artificial), it hurt both the token and the actual utility. Pingem for example, doesn't have many users, but most of them asked for a subscription paid in dollars/stables. Paying in $lemons3 complicated the onboarding flow, while making the price unpredictable. What was worth $3 today, might be worth $300 next month, how could they make any decision on whether it's worth integrating and using the service? At the same time, I do have projects that generate some revenue, and I intend to keep working on them: - @wdimapp signed up 43 subscribers in 17 days, which resulted in $129 revenue. - @l--o--l is a NFT project I really love, and I intend to put some more work in. - I revamped niftywalls.xyz, and plan to make a miniapp frontend that makes minting and sharing more fun. - I'd like to put some more work in Pingem Analytics, and use the same subscription flow as WDIM, which everyone said it was really smooth. So, here's what I'll experiment with for next few months. I created a "lemon3 empire" using /glanker: https://www.empirebuilder.world/empire/0xe0907762B1D9cdfBE8061aE0Cc4A0501fa077421?cache_bust=1753950274944 I will distribute the revenue generated by these projects to the top 100 members of the leaderboard at the end of each month. No buying, burning, or other tricks, just distribution of the actual revenue: USDC from @wdimapp, base ETH from @l--o--l, ETH from NiftyWalls. I'm starting today, with the 129 USDC generated from @wdimapp, to see how it works. As you can see, in addition to holding $lemon3, you get extra boosts for holding l--o--l ships and/or NiftyWall NFTs. **This is an EXPERIMENT.*** I may or may not continue it, I may change the way the leaderboard is constructed, etc. Give it some value, only if you are interested in experimenting with me.

lemon3 update. # Uploading - You can upload files (any file, but try it with audio/video) or any size. - The files, together with the metadata you provide are uploaded on IPFS. - Then a special link is shared on farcaster, together with a miniapp that renders the content. # Downloading: The miniapp is just a user-friendly renderer. If you want to download the files locally, you can use the "download" command. # Feeds The original promise of lemon3 was "something like RSS with enclosures, but decentralized". Now, you can use the "downloadfeed <fname>" command, which: - Will check fname's casts - Identify the ones that contain lemon3 embeds - Download the embedded files. # Limitations You need access to a Snapchain node and an IPFS node. For snapchain, the simples solution is a free Neynar dev account. For IPFS you can download the IPFS desktop app. Of course, you can use your own Snapchain hub and the command-line version of the ipfs client. Check out the repo for source/pre-build binaries, instructions. Check out @fc1's feed to see how the uploaded files look in practice. https://github.com/vrypan/lemon3
