At some point I will do a 'splainer.
...with the caveat that I'm not a Hoon programmer, an Urbit expert, or any of that. I've just read the docs a bunch of times and think I kinda grok it.

9/ Likewise, folks are not expected to program in Nock. Hoon is a higher level language that is easier to write in. https://urbit.org/docs/learn/arvo/hoon/ …

10/ OK, so we've done a very very VERY quick overview of what the Urbit "CPU" and "opcodes" and higher level programming language look like. Where is this CPU? Who gets one? What does it do?

12/ No, you do not. There is a thing called a "comet", which is a free little resource that you can use. Every piece of urbit real estate, from the very expensive "galaxy" down to the kinda affordable "star" down to free "comets" lets you run a full VMhttps://twitter.com/Face_Almighty44/status/1085190738164371462 …

13/ The only thing that higher levels of ownership get you are authority in the network of linked processes. Think of a galaxy as like owning ".biz" or ".com". Think of a star as like owning "http://fred.biz ". Think of a comet as like having a PC w internet connection

14/ A comet / a PC / a phone is good for 99% of what people want. Create content, consume content, run spreadsheets, etc. What does "http://fred.biz " get you? A nice name, and the authority to create http://jobs.fred.biz , http://blog.fred.biz , etc. Not much!

15/ Correct; if your PC is turned off, you get no net traffic. When you turn it back on and reboot your urbit (i.e. comet/planet) you can - I THINK - get playback of net traffic. ...but not sure exactly how. https://twitter.com/_molten_steel_/status/1085277254651805697 …

16/ I just made up an anki "deck" ( a flash card program https://apps.ankiweb.net/ ) and am drilling myself. I've got my head 80% around Hoon now. Working on 100%.https://twitter.com/shadowcat_mst/status/1085286086962806787 …
