I was thinking the same thing. Pretty bold move for a startup with an aim to provide a digital identity for everyone in the world with their stack. But if you really dig (and I mean really dig) into their site: > In the general case, a ship is actually a 128-bit number. ... > A comet's [128-bit] address is the hash of its initial public key. Anyone can launch a comet. Nothing stops you from using a comet as your identity, except that the name is a mouthful and everyone will assume you're a bot. [0] So, I mean, there will be a market for names I guess. [0] https://urbit.org/posts/address-space/#-moons-and-comets |
