Farcaster

Warpcast is stopping warp rewards for hub runners. 

- There are plenty of hubs, well above target (382 vs target of 100) 
- Rewards are driving people to run more hubs on slow hardware
- This is making the network slower for everyone

We'll turn off rewards for a month to see where the steady state lands, and revisit.

wait how are slow hubs slowing down the network?

I'm good at making mistakes. Sometimes I improve, but I never make the same mistake twice.

Hubble degrades on slower hardware due to so many messages, we’ve had to bump to minimum 6 vCPU otherwise the OS kernel hangs after a while

but it shouldnt impact the health of the network right?

Hubs peer together so if you’re talking with a non-responsive or slow hub, you won’t get messages as quickly as a fast hub, degrading the overall network.

Think of it like a slow WiFi router vs a fast one

If you submit a message to a fast hub but it hops through a slow hub to get to another fast hub, it affects *everyone* :)

i got confused because the OP said *everyone* so i thought it would be literally everyone for everything.

so if i understand everything correctly, slow hubs propagate messages more slowly which causes delays for users that rely on said hubs
