hubs

Hub release 1.13.6 is out: https://github.com/farcasterxyz/hub-monorepo/releases

In addition to bug fixes and quality of life improvements, please note: there are NO rewards for running a hub

We recommend running Hubs if you're building an app, need access to the latest data or want to help decentralize the network

Please spread the word: there are 0 economic rewards—currently or in the future—for running a Hub.

Only run a Hub if you:
1. Find it fun
2. Find it useful for your project or your business

There's no surprise or gotcha that comes later.

All of the YouTube video tutorials are lying to you about a potential reward.

Historically "no incentives, no airdrop" is a green flag to these guys... I have firsthand experience with dozens of projects who dropped tokens after saying that. 

Idk what could be done aside from somehow enforcing regulations which goes contrary to the idea.

We are exploring ways to make running Hubs have an economic cost. So not only do you not get a reward, you have to pay something.

Exploratory phase, nothing definite yet.

what if only accounts that have a given threshold of arbitrary reputation on the network can run hubs? 

or there is some sort of vouch mechanism that can help those decide if an account can run a hub or not
