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.

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

>>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.

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.

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.

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.

Free speech not exercised in real life is pussy speech. Any fucker can say whatever he wants behind the mask of anonymity.

A lot of people on Urbit don't even care about Yarvin. He's barely involved in the project anymore. He just sucks off Peter Thiel for more funding and then fucks off back to his political rants.

I support things like opennic (alternate DNS), i2p, monero, fediverse because i believe that the state should not regulate that part of the of internet. The state should regulate the deployment and access of internet (the cables in the ground and 5g antennas, to say it quickly). You would be naive to believe that there is no chance that the USA would not implement something like the great firewall of china in a near future (they just have to ask cloudflare).

Wartime means "oh fuck, all our Steve Jobs wannabe ketamine addicts pissed through all our funding so now we need Yarvin to scrape together money because we're too proud to sling shitcoins without him breathing down our neck."
>>
>>108626119
And that's what the original meeting was about. Yarvin brought in Topher because he knew he would sell their new shitcoin if forced, all the devs bitched about it because they were above it, and Yarvin essentially told them to suck it up.

No, when the Urbit devs had a month of runway left before bankruptcy they came out with Nockchain, a shitcoin (though with some interesting tech) to buy them some time by dumping it. Urbit planet/star ownership had nothing to do with $nock. But Yarvin was pretty clear that "if you niggers have to shill memecoins to save Urbit, that's what you're going to do"

>>108627842
I do have a problem with his patchwork vision of governance, i.e., if you don't like your government, just leave. That works for things like digital governance, where moving from one service provider to another is frictionless. But in the real world you can't just uproot yourself. Some things like health care you may be able to select between different service providers (iHealth, Amazon Health, etc). But for basic infrastructure, roads, utilities, and the administration & taxation thereof, you're stuck with what there is where you live.

why would I want to talk with people who worship a guy who thinks Tim Apple should be president?

>>108628091
>Tim Cook is president of all the macfags.
So why would I want him to be president of the whole USA too like Yarvin does?
>>
>>108628094
My understanding is that Yarvin wants Tim Cook to be king of anyone stupid enough to sign up for king Tim. But the idea isn't to replace the president with one CEO. But to replace the US as a whole with many little kingdoms, each rules by a CEO (king), while you, the customer, get to pick which sovereignty service provider you sign up for, so long as king Tim, king Bezos, whoever, will have you.
>>
>>108628094
because the goyim hobbits need G*d's chosen people to rule over them for their own good.

>>
>>108628149

>>
>>108628132
You've obviously missing context. He wants the presidency to look like the role of CEO, how Cook runs Apple - monarchy. But he's also repeatedly said that people should have multiple choices for which monarchy they sign up for. Macfags get no say in what Apple does, there's no democracy. But they can choose to buy a Samsung phone, fairphone, whatever.

That's the entire point of Urbit. You have no say regarding the policies of the star/galaxy/network you're signed up under. But you have lots of choices, the wigger network, the libshit network, if you don't like your current network, move to another.

>>108628200
The point is to have a competent CEO who is capable of not running a company into the ground. All the notable ones in the US that people know of right now are connected to silicon valley. If the railway was still a big deal to the public then a name like JP Morgan would work just as well.

>>108628156
Urbit pre-dated its use of ethereum
I saw a discussion way back when and they wanted to use ethereum because they didn’t want to have the official register of who owns what planet/star/galaxy be in an Excel spreadsheet on their own computers
and by that time serious people were using Ethereum for serious things, so they weren’t the first
>>
>>108628245
Currently the choice is between one politician who jews you and another politician who jews you. Except the political class is retarded and incompetent as well, and by necessity all their effort goes into figuring out how to win votes, not how to fix our infrastructure.

Corporations don't work that way. CEOs are not kings, they have to do whatever the board tells them.
>>
>>108628276
Would you rather buy a phone from the Democrats or Apple? Would you rather buy a car, package delivery, etc? Just extend that choice to things like health care or security. Political parties are just really shitty service providers because the only thing they are accountable to is how many votes they can collect. Whereas Apple is accountable to how good of a job it can do at making phones and computers.

Corporations tend to have a higher batting average because the shitty ones go kaboom faster than the shitty governments do

And why are the gangsters being tolerated?

What does the choice of monarchy entail?
The way I'm understanding this is that he wants them to rule in parallel, and everyone just picks the set of laws and characteristics they prefer to live under, among the available options, correct?
If so, can I sign up for a monarch that thinks murder should be legal, and go around killing people without legal consequences?
Can I sign up for a monarch that doubles the speed limits, and when I get stopped I just show my ID that says I'm allowed to go that fast?
And what about decisions about things that are shared among the citizens, such as budgets, foreign policy, etc? How do these decisions get made when different monarchs have conflicting views?
>>
>>108629123
>first 2 thought experiments
Yes, Kings would be able to both of those. The idea is that those things are all clearly stupid and that any society that implemented them would fail, be out competed, and fail to attract any citizens to move there. So it wouldn't matter if there was Murder Murder land kingdom (aka just somalia) because nobody would go there.

Yarvin should not be taken all that seriously on matters of politics, he did misread Hoppe after all. Now, stop shitting up the thread with Yarvin's politics, this is a thread about Urbit.
>>
>>108629797
NTA. Yarvin's OG idea was that the world should be split into 10k city states, each of which is run by a neo-monarchy, e.g., a corp with a board of 12 directors as the king. Digital neo-monarchies are larps until they buy enough land to house their subjects and their subjects move there. Urbit is the software that runs the larp.

I looked into this years ago and I didn't get the point, and I still don't get it now.
I see it has a sybil-resistant identity system, which uses proof-of-funds. Cool I guess, though these are a dime a dozen on blockchains.
But then the official description is all about how it's an "OS" and has "digital sovereignty" or whatever. An OS interfaces with hardware, a network stack does not an OS make, so this tells me nothing about what the fuck urbit actually is.

To put it into concrete terms, how does urbit compare with something like yggdrasil or i2p?
>>
>>108632066
the idea is that you run this program on hardware you own (that’s the digital sovereignty)
it’s just a program and not a proper OS yet
also it’s way easier to have someone else host it because hosting services are something companies can get really good at
I used to run my planet on my Mac and https://www.nativeplanet.io exists but a while back Tlon or whatever said “we’ll host your planet” (I assume this is paid for with Thielbucks) and I’m, like, “sure”
anyhow, this program self-updates and you can use it to chat with fairly cool people and there are apps that I’ve never really got deeply into but they exist and they’re kind of proof-of-concepty
but Urbit handles data sync for you
One of the things I like about it is that I could have the urbit binary run on my Mac, have the Mac go to sleep when I went to sleep, wake the computer up, and then everything would sync up
This is no way to run a planet that people join your chat rooms on, but it worked for me
>>
>>108632126
>the idea is that you run this program on hardware you own
Do they sell NSA-less hardware or is it just meaningless marketing speak that every single other p2p software also achieves
>also it’s way easier to have someone else host it
As is the case for most other software too but this is why "digital sovereignty" is important for self-hosting and it sounds like urbit is literally encouraging the opposite then
>anyhow, this program self-updates
>you can use it to chat
Revolutionary
>handles data sync for you

this is obviously a curtis thread or one of his followers but it's interesting to see how these decentralized self-governance projects have evolved over time. i recall they had syndicates like this on the original systemspace one was called synapse or something. where did the original idea come from? marathon (the videogame) is currently ripping off the whole aesthetic (or advocating it depending on how you look at it), it's really trying to tell the story of this technocratic self-governance thing through the lens of an extraction shooter. those remilia people have something similar but they're not the only ones. it seems like what will happen is the world will slowly give way to a number of new cult-like digital groups that act on it mainly through crime and terrorism until a decentralized way of establishing order can be maintained... still, i firmly believe this is what marx was talking about when he said the state represents a kind of externalized collective power and that the transition from wage labor and markets to something else will involve the collective taking up the former responsibilities of the state such as law enforcement, regulatory activities etc and blockchain seems to be the catalyst for that right now. the only unknown is how much will it be divided between those who want to watch the world burn through AI-powered digital terrorism novelty bullshit, and those who want to rebuild it through real-world decentralized human activity

what is someone who thinks that their race should rule over the other races because the other races are inferior?

A jew

>>108633051
i don't know maybe a jew?
>>
>>108633051
the nazis never sought subjugation or slavery of jews though and the 'final solution' was largely the product of other countries not willing to take them combined with economic pressure from fighting a war on three fronts. much like slavery in the american south it was never a matter of ideology but in the history books it gets recorded that way because the general sentiment in those times gives a misleading picture of what the policy goals of these societies really were practically speaking.

Start with the low hanging fruit and read some of Mengele's long redacted papers

>grifter got tons of people to listen to him, that means he must've been really smart!
do you think freud was some medical genius too?

marx just told people they deserve free money (and freud told people it's ok to fantasize about sex with your mother) so people "wow! so true!!" and basedjakked about it, that's literally it
>>
>>108633391
what's it like to be this retarded to the point where you can only understand history through the lens of brainrot terms like grifting and basedjaks and thinking freud was primarily a medical figure.... you know literally nothing about this subject based on the way you talk about it, your reductionism... yeah bro marx was grifting in manuscript format before the internet or telephones totally... yeah bro marx's point was that we should all get free money bro totally... and yeah when people heard that they all made basedjak faces and agreed with him. that's how classical marxism was formed yeah. you got it.

>>108633422
>brainrot terms like grifting
that word is over 100 years old (with its meaning unchanged)
>based on the way you talk about it, your reductionism...
my bad sorry for not writing an essay in academic style for you in my 4chan reply, do you want it formatted in latex too?
your own argument is entirely "lots of people listened to him that means he must have been smart". a claim this retarded does not deserve a nuanced rebuttal
>>
>>108633442
you're so retarded you literally have no idea what you're talking about and yet you're this militant about it you're the definition of a dilettante. marx developed a systematic theory called dialectical materialism earlier known as 'historical' materialism taking influence from feuerbach's ideas in the essence of christianity, he rightly perceived the connection between german idealism and what became known as feuerbachian humanism. you probably don't know what german idealism is and probably never read hegel or feuerbach or anyone in that sphere, yet you're still bloviating about marx because you're a reactionary stuck up faggot subhuman who can only take sides but not think critically about ideas and their meanings. if you have some critique of marx's ideas or one of them i'll hear you out, but given that you're saying he was a grifter and you're now namedropping latex like it's some marker for intelligence i don't think you have anything substantial to say you're just a run of the mill chip on the shoulder ass curmudgeon who dont know anything.

Good for you buddy, you own a thesaurus and know long German names. This is an Urbit thread on a tech forum. Go write your gay blog on Mastodon.

I just posted that because I think it’s funny
I basically use Urbit as a janky chat app with weird underpinnings to talk to chill mildly cool people
if you think functional programming languages designed by an operating-system nerd are interesting you might be interested in Hoon

you need DNS for part of it to find out where to route UDP packets

>and it sounds like urbit is literally encouraging the opposite then
I can’t think of anything that could encourage self-hosting other than being easy to host because amazog and similar is going to gigamog everyone else with uptime, especially if you want rock-solid reliability (like having writes only succeed if at least two out of three writes in separate geographically distributed datacenters record the write)
that said, I ran it on my Mac and it was OK but I don’t have my life on it

sorry to break it to u but smart people use words like that without really trying it's only stupid proles like you who get mad and always say the same thing about thesauruses when they get their asshole blown out by a superior argument.

People who are actually smart know how to communicate clearly. It's one of the reasons Yarvin isn't as smart as he acts, his writing is obtuse. He's made up for it by being well read, not intelligent. All of his writing is just references.

Someone like Schopenhauer doesn't write like a pseud because he isn't a pseud. You write like one because you are one. You need paragraphs to convey simple concepts.

>hurr here's a bunch of german wankers and here's why I think marx was right and my landlord is literally stealing from me!
you do need to have acceptable IQ to discuss and write about philosophy, so I will grant you that marx was probably more intelligent than the average nigger, for example
but just because you personally agree with him is not an argument for him being one of the "finest minds"

to quote your own post I can just reply:
>>108633044
>i mean he was an idiot and a wanker but i guess if you say he was one of the finest minds of the 19th century then he must be!

that's the extent of your argument
