Update on Hubs: 

- Messages are still delayed
- Root cause seems to be a large number of new hubs 
- We have some fixes that should make this better by EoD

If you're running your own hub and building an app on it, please post the peer id of your hub and the name of your app below.

btw there will be NO airdrop for hub operators

whoever is farming farcaster airdrop by running a hub will get NOTHING

you guys are destroying the network for everyone else, net negative behavior

only run a hub if you need it and can afford it

share it in your groupchat

i kind of feel like there will be an airdrop to hub operators though.

why would you reward people who destroy the network?

since friday most apps don’t work, warpcast / neynar / airstack spend resources on scaling the network to unreasonable numbers and this only encourages putting hubs behind staking or doing whitelists — both are a hit for a permissionless network

the ecosystem will deal with this but this topic comes back at dev calls over and over again

nobody sane would reward this behavior

that doesn't explain anything though. i thought decentralized networks wanted a large number of hubs.
