I just booted with a new temporary ID and it took 50 seconds to generate the cryptographic key. After 3-4 minutes, Urbit had bootstrapped itself and was accessible over HTTP.

You can try with these commands, using Mac in this example:

  mkdir urbit
  cd urbit
  curl -JLO https://urbit.org/install/mac/latest
  tar zxvf ./darwin.tgz --strip=1
  ./urbit -c mycomet

Oh cool. I didn't actually try it myself, since I read in the docs that it would take a long time. Good to see it's quick. Urbit looks like a really interesting system with great design underpinnings and philosophy.
