#Farcaster #FarConAsia #bots #Web3 #decentralization #crypto #spam #blockchain #innovation
According to BlockBeats, on September 17, Farcaster founder Dan Romero addressed questions regarding the platform's $5 entry fee aimed at preventing bots during FarCon Asia, the first major offline event for the Farcaster ecosystem in Asia. Participants inquired whether the fee would be removed given the continued presence of bots in the community.
Romero acknowledged the concern, stating that the issue is under constant consideration. He explained that making the platform free would lead to an overwhelming influx of spam, potentially causing the system to collapse. He compared this to the transaction fees on Ethereum and Bitcoin, noting that without such fees, network congestion would increase significantly, with users sending transactions merely to disrupt the system. This would pose significant challenges to Farcaster's future decentralization capabilities.
To address the bot issue, Romero suggested creating a high-trust user group where each member receives ten invitations, allowing for planned growth while reducing spam. He mentioned that the fee might be lowered, as it has been in the past, potentially to $4, but emphasized that there will always be some cost inherent in the system's design.
FarCon Asia, co-hosted by Tako Protocol, BlockBeats, and Jam, aims to explore and showcase innovations within the Farcaster ecosystem and the future of Web3 social interactions. The event seeks to break away from the traditional one-way communication model of financial crypto conferences. It is expected to attract over 500 attendees, including Farcaster ecosystem builders, active users in Asia, venture capitalists, prominent investors, and experienced researchers.#Farcaster #FarConAsia #bots #Web3 #decentralization #crypto #spam #blockchain #innovation
🚀 Crypto Influencer Accused Of Using Bots To Manipulate Social Media Metrics
#Crypto #Influencer #Bots #SocialMedia #Metrics #ZachXBT #FTC #DeGenSummit #TOKEN2049 #KOL #YouTube #NFT #Memecoins #Web3 #Accusations
According to Cointelegraph, a crypto influencer known as 'Professor Crypto' has been accused of using bots to manipulate his social media metrics shortly after winning a 'best content creator' award at a crypto event. The allegations were made by the self-described sleuth 'ZachXBT,' who claimed that Professor Crypto used 'thousands of bots' to deceive people into believing he had significant influence. ZachXBT also suggested that this action could violate a United States Federal Trade Commission rule that prohibits the sale or purchase of fake social media indicators, such as followers or views generated by bots or hijacked accounts.
Professor Crypto has not yet publicly responded to the accusations but has removed several posts showing him collecting the award at the DeGen Summit in Singapore on September 17. The DeGen Summit, a TOKEN2049 side event, awarded 'Key Opinion Leaders' (KOLs), individuals whose opinions hold sway over a large group or industry. Professor Crypto, who has more than 1.34 million subscribers on his YouTube channel where he shares opinions and reviews on crypto exchanges, wallets, trending memecoins, and non-fungible token (NFT) projects, has been creating crypto content since August 2018.
Despite his large following, Professor Crypto's X account, created in February 2018, has only 132,000 followers and 102 posts, with the earliest post made on August 14. Web3 investigator Pix noted that only two of those posts came directly from Professor Crypto. Other industry commentators have expressed surprise at his sudden rise to prominence, with some claiming they had never heard of him before he won the award. NFT artist Matthew Varnell and Wildcat Labs co-founder Laurence Day were among those questioning his influence.
Professor Crypto did not immediately respond to Cointelegraph’s request for comment on the accusations.#Crypto #Influencer #Bots #SocialMedia #Metrics #ZachXBT #FTC #DeGenSummit #TOKEN2049 #KOL #YouTube #NFT #Memecoins #Web3 #Accusations
🚀 Telegram Enhances Search Security to Combat Illegal Activities

According to BlockBeats, on September 23, Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced on his personal channel that the search functionality on Telegram is more powerful than other messaging apps because it allows users to find public channels and bots. Unfortunately, this feature has been misused by some individuals to sell illegal goods, violating Telegram's terms of service.
In recent weeks, a dedicated review team, aided by AI technology, has significantly improved the security of Telegram's search function. All identified problematic content is now inaccessible. Users are encouraged to report any unsafe or illegal content found in Telegram searches via @SearchReport.
To further prevent criminals from abusing Telegram's search feature, the service terms and privacy policy have been updated to ensure global consistency. It is now explicitly stated that the IP addresses and phone numbers of users who violate the rules may be disclosed to relevant authorities upon legitimate request.
These measures aim to deter criminals. Telegram's search function is intended to help users find friends and discover news, not to promote illegal goods. The platform is committed to maintaining the integrity of its nearly one billion users.#Telegram #SearchSecurity #IllegalActivities #AI #PrivacyPolicy #UserSafety #MessagingApps #CyberSecurity #PublicChannels #Bots
