Purple is a DAO whose goal is to proliferate and expand the Farcaster protocol and ecosystem.

According to @v, a hub costs ~$100 per month to run (for the near future).

Would you be interested in running a hub to help increase FC's decentralization? 

What if @purple gives you funding? We are discussing a potential Purple funding program for hub operators, but would love to understand the interest level first

where’s the cost coming from?

node upgrades?
storage?
energy?

Storage + compute + network https://farcasterxyz.notion.site/Set-up-Hubble-on-EC2-Public-23b4e81d8f604ca9bf8b68f4bb086042

Looking at the requirements, they seem very doable on a home server:

- 20 GiB storage (nothing)
- some decent compute (i assume many have a bunch spare)
- a gigabit internet connection should leave enough left over, no?

Yeah definitely doable if you already have a home server!
