fc-updates

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

i kind of feel like there will be an airdrop to hub operators though.

The team has always said there won't be an airdrop and that the only incentive for running a hub is access to the data. People have always told them they would have an issue getting hubs to run but they have the opposite problem now, where so many poor hubs are cluttering the peer to peer network. It's very possible a staking fee or something along those lines will be required to stay on the network, or setup a scoring mechanism to cut poor hubs from the network
