Update on Hubs: 

- Messages are still delayed
- Root cause seems to be a large number of new hubs 
- We have some fixes that should make this better by EoD

If you're running your own hub and building an app on it, please post the peer id of your hub and the name of your app below.

btw there will be NO airdrop for hub operators

whoever is farming farcaster airdrop by running a hub will get NOTHING

you guys are destroying the network for everyone else, net negative behavior

only run a hub if you need it and can afford it

share it in your groupchat

Huh I always thought I might spare some bandwidth and run a hub to contribute. But now it seems that's not actually helping?

Yeah, I was considering spinning up a hub. Figured it was like crypto nodes and more redunandnacy/global distribution was a good thing. Cleary I need to learn how hubs actually work in this system!

Reading up here seems like more hubs would be a good thing?

@woj.eth Is the problem essentially short term equivilent to a DDOS with thousands of new hubs being spun up at once and requesting hub data from the existing hubs?
