Oh yeah I remember this being a thing. Is it still around?

>>108614376
Yes. There are frequent updates and blog posts.

>>108614246
I use Mybit

>>108614246
Where do you even get planets nowadays? Almost all the sites I can find are just blank. Even the officially linked sources (excluding opensea obviously)

>>108614246
I would if it wasn't basically a glorified messaging app and had an actual usecase by now

If someone invites you to Tlon, you get a free L2 planet.

FYI: You can generate a comet by running ./urbit -c mycomet

And join the chat at ~ricpen-lomdux/v212bt9b using Tlon.
This shouldn't be hard to figure out.

It's literally the only way for the future but the tranny activist devs fight over jew yarvin's fantasy political beliefs more than they work on the project. I hate libs so much

>>108614246
I still don't know what it does and I don't have three or four centuries to read whatever Moldbug wrote about it.

I own a star, but I'm just squatting

>>108616502
You haven't booted it?

>>108616502
Always kind of wanted a star just for the novelty but I guess that market is dead now looking at listings.

Do you know who is behind urbit? Curtis Yarvin, an over edgy faggot and far right hitlerian propagandist who uses cringe terminology such as "redpill" unironically. Lobsters's autists were already exposing him ten years ago. He's someone who believed that the original trolls from usenet were serious and modern socrates.

>the guy that made an altnet is mentally ill
Yeah? That's just part of the deal. You develop an altnet or a filesystem and you also develop severe mental illness(es).

>>108616691
>far right hitlerian propagandist
Curtis Yarvin is a jewish milquetoast """monarchist""", if you read anything of his you'll quickly realize it's just pure autism, not genuine far-right ideology or edginess.
Funny, given your post, that you used the word faggot to describe him. Total right-wing cultural victory lmao

>>108616512
Nah, I bought it pretty close to the bottom. If Urbit gets dragged out of the gutter it'll be worth booting and giving out planets. If not, I'm only out a couple hundred bucks

>>108614246
I read 3 articles and watched 5 videos. I still have no idea what this is.

>>108614246
Their homepage literally links to an article that talks about urbit being dead. kek.

>>108617377
It tries to solve the age old question of "how do you keep indians and bots off the internet?" Their answer is by paying for "real estate" in order to gatekeep all the shitskins. Aside from the pay-to-play IDs, there's also a virtual OS, you put it on a computer, talk to people, host a blog, whatever, without having to rely on DNS.

>>108617428
Nock and Arvo are much more fundamental to Urbit than the identity layer, but it does seem that Azimuth gets all the spotlight.

it was a retarded meme from the start

Nothing wrong with this.

>>108616690
What do you mean by "market is dead"? Plenty of cheap stars on OpenSea.

No.
I've got a L2 planet running on my home server but I haven't used it in like 2 years, it's just sitting there updating itself.

The "self-sovereign" identity was never a good idea. Transience and disposability of identity is a security and anonymity feature of decentralized networks. Azimuth "decentralized" an identity abstraction that shouldn't have existed to begin with. Yarvin's vision was one of synthetic, globally coherent, digital class. That explicitly entails anti-features which makes the whole enterprise a non-starter for most people who would give a shit about this kind of thing, which is why it's a complete failure.

I don’t trust “Curtis” and neither should you

>>108618454
People pay for domain names, and then they say something mean on their blog and get booted by their registrar or their TLD. Or their ISP won't give out static IPs so then they have to sign up for cloudflare or duck DNS or some other point of failure. At least with urbit you have your address space, there's not a ton of points of failure, and if you want throwaway address space you can always get a comet which is free.

>>108618529
The problem is I, like many others, don't care about human readable names being the trusted identity. I don't want or need a global phonebook. There's nothing that's particularly appealing about Urbit's networking stack in any way. I want a hand-curated trusted web of peers, a tunable subjective rating system for untrusted peers, and a short-hop discovery system. Anything else strays from the righteous path.

>>108618631
Urbit is doing identities this way to combat Sybil attacks. Proof of Work is also another way to solve this problem.

>>108618668
WoT systems with tunable subjective rating systems aren't vulnerable to sybil attacks in the same way. Users with awful social integration who fall into an eclipse can happen, but I don't have any problems with that. For all of its flaws (and it had many), Retroshare more or less perfected the decentralized social network.

>>108614376
yes
there are cool people on it

Email me at dokudoku1@cock.li and I'll send you planets.
