Hi Varun, what does running a hub require? Is it like running a node? Any info would help, thanks.

Is there any incentive (or will there be one) other than contributing to the network health?

There are tens of thousands of non-validating / non-mining ethereum and bitcoin nodes for the simple reason that people get value from the data in a node. 

Farcaster hubs will be no different.

but those nodes aren' the ones running consensus.

i'd assume message complexity increases as new Hubs join the network, thus the protocol would want to bound the number of hubs. am i wrong?
