Assume it was 1-click and 100% automated to deploy, run and update a Hub.

How much per month would you be willing to pay to run one? 

No direct economic incentive other than you know you're supporting Farcaster decentralization and you have your own copy of the network.

OK, if you're answer is you wouldn't run one.

1/2 i would pay 0

ethereum already showed that people don’t run nodes if not incentives by staking (EF is trying to fix it by paying incentives out of their own pocket https://esp.ethereum.foundation/run-a-node-grants)

customer support @supercast

trying to sound smart /doingnumbers

Coinbase run nodes without staking for years. :)

yep, I think we're in agreement

trying to figure out the pareto optimal cost to run and then solve for that for engineering :)

as a dev / company it’s a totally different game, i thought we are talking about individuals

yeah i can pay whatever infra is needed to run the business as long as it makes unit economics work
