      I'm really interested in the @urbit concept. I'm going to do a lot more research into it this weekend, but I just noticed that they sold "stars" in their network. So this is another one of those "decentralized eventually" projects that takes on another form of token sale?

      I'd love to hear the rationale for this sale, other than funding the development. I can understand scarcity and promoting that in monetary policy, but what advantage does it give a general purpose p2p network? I'm trying to understand the rationale.

      It's disappointing because I keep coming across projects that have these similar ideals, but they all end up with some sort of token or digital asset they're trying to sell. Why? It's the opposite of what you're trying to build if you look at it.

      I don't want to write @urbit off, so I will do a lot more research this weekend. But it's just disappointing to see this honestly.

      The address space is scarce to discourage sybil attacks and encourage accountability. An address you've never seen before should have a default nonzero reputation.

          We've sold address space to fund protocol development, which was the original intention. We've also given a lot of it away — we want Urbit to be a robust protocol suite that's owned by a lot of different people.

          Thanks for the response, definitely going to do alot more research in the coming weeks... there's a lot to digest. Were there any other avenues of research you went down before choosing that route?

          There are so many different ways of setting up a PKI — many already tried with varying degrees of success. We certainly looked at the existing models.
