## Summary

Pichi recommends matching the Farcaster client to a poster's goals: Cura or the Farcaster App for casting into channels, The Base App for eligibility for Base Creator Rewards, and Recaster for reaching friends across the globe with scheduled casts. The article notes that Farcaster pulls in casts from all clients, so casts from indie clients like Cura and Recaster still count toward Farcaster Leaderboard Rewards, but not The Base App. Base's rewards are separate and require posting from The Base App. The author is also experimenting with pairing the article with their $PICHI creator coin rather than minting a separate coin for each article.

## Article

Last week I wrote about the major Farcaster client's in the market and their strengths. 

I’m also experimenting with pairing this @paragraph  article with my own $PICHI creator coin instead of each article becoming a separate coin!

TL;DR:

• If you’re casting into channels, use Cura or the Farcaster App.

• If you’re not casting to channel, post directly from The Base App (TBA) to be eligible for their Base Creator Rewards.

• If you’ve got friends across the globe, try Recaster and change your casting times with scheduling.

Note: Farcaster pulls in casts from all clients, so you’re still eligible for Farcaster Leaderboard Rewards if you cast from indie clients like Cura and Recaster, but NOT TBA.  Base’s rewards are separate; to earn those, you need to post from The Base App (TBA).
