     @Moon@shitposter.club it's not a blockchain, it is digital feudalism

     I've never understood why anyone would want digital feudalism when we already have DNS

     @Moon Really? The last few times I looked into it, I couldn't make it past the buzzword marketing wall. That was a while ago, though...Looks like they have an actual Getting Started page prominently placed on their site.
     
     I still don't really understand what it is, though. Their terminology seems really obtuse. "Hello yes I would like to purchase a planet" "Are you sure? Maybe you just want a comet instead"

     @vic there used to be an incredibly high barrier to entry to get involved and now it is merely high.

     @privateger @Moon nock and hoon were supposed to be about having some really easily verified CPU and an assembly language for that CPU. It's arguably the good part of Urbit because it's the only part that wasn't weird crypto shit from the get go.
     
     Others have tried the same research using web assembly but those never got the funding Urbit did and went off to other projects after proving the concepts. Like one open source research thing was using WASM to prove smart contracts were executed correctly.

     @icedquinn @privateger it had no weird crypto shit built into it ever, except that it used ethereum to verify ownership which had nothing to do with urbit operation.

     @icedquinn @privateger wasm smart contracts are cheaper to operate than the EVM but the cost of them is they are far less human-verifiable.

     @Moon @privateger I'm not entirely sure if that is true, or if people care. Ethereum already clowned itself with the DAO so I think anyone still using it is a retard when the base security guarantee has been repeatedly violated anyway. :youmusip:

     @icedquinn @privateger I don't like it but it was the right decision at the time. it should never ever be done a second time. but the entire thing exists at the whim of money skeleton so there are no guarantees, correct.

     @Moon @privateger it should never have been done because it violated the purpose of the system. They FAFO'd. Unfortunately, the crypto community are money scammers first so they don't really care about using insecure systems :youmusip:

     @icedquinn @privateger bitcoin is the same way, if the core dev team decides to do something overnight the majority of the network will install it uncritically
