What is Urbit?

[Philip Monk @pcmonk]

What Urbit is: An attempt to make personal servers viable for consumers, so that the internet can go back to being between me and you, not between me and some company's server.

[Hunter Miller @hmillerdev]

obsidian/ia writer clone on urbit

store personal notes, publish notes to web, collaborate on notebooks with others, all from your personal server.

sync notes locally and use ia writer or obsidian as an editor if you like, its just files

Have you been inspired by recent Urbit apps like %cast by @mopfelwinrux? Are you interested in making your own app but have no idea how to start?

Introducing Vibe-Nomi

Come to the Urbit Hacker House Gather and "cowork" with your Urbit buddies Saturdays from 9 am ET - noon ET.

New blog post: "Kelvin Versioning is bad"

I argue that Urbit's concept of Kelvin Versioning is pointless, from first principles.

(Link in next post, because that's the rules)

Urbit is decentralized Discord, and a lot more.

Here’s how to get up and running as a group host in under an hour.

[Urbit @urbit]

Nearly 10 years of "right-click, save-as" and people are finally catching up.

Azimuth isn't just 'an NFT'--it's a decentralized and permissioned public key infrastructure for a distributed peer-to-peer, end-to-end encypted network.

Maybe 10 years from now we'll get to "oh, that's why Urbit was boiling the ocean, we get it now."

[Charles d'Haussy @charlesdhaussy]

Seeing @openclaw & @orgo computers in action makes me realize: @urbit 's vision of personal, sovereign servers + persistent digital identity is quietly coming true.

The first article we are releasing is a large omnibus description of the ambitious Directed Messaging protocol upgrade.

* article: https://t.co/kQUPDtJWvG
* forum: https://t.co/NPA29OXFmA

Urbit's DM is believed to be the first deployment of Named Data Networking in production.

We'll do it live. The hotfix is in review.

VOLUME THREE ISSUE ONE is now available from https://t.co/kGBqPEa0ZK for $29 in hardcover.

This covers directed messaging, subject knowledge analysis, Obelisk, & more. We'll release all articles to the open web over the next few weeks.

[Epicenter Podcast @epicenterbtc]

🚀 NEW EPISODE 🚀

ZK Proof-of-Useful-Work Consensus

@crainbf chats with @loganzorp, CEO of @ZorpZK, about @nockchain's novel zk-proof-of-useful-work consensus mechanism and how it could bootstrap ZKPs as a new computational commodity.

Inspired by @urbit's minimal assembly language, Nockchain fuses Urbit’s vision of sovereign computing with a novel zkPoW consensus mechanism, creating a blockchain where every computation fuels progress and scalability.

The crypto-economics behind Nockchain’s zkVM incentivise competition between zero knowledge provers, thus lowering the cost of producing ZKPs (through $NOCK rewards).

Don't forget to RT & follow @epicenterbtc!

[White Marble Syndicate @WhiteMarbleDAO]

Putting some finishing touches on the initial launch of the platform.

White Marble Syndicate is using a so-far-custom implementation built on @Urbit to manage the library portal and each LLM session.

Watch for token issuance in the next few days to the initial DAO members and supporters.
