(Updated February 24, 2021)
I purchased a galaxy (~nem) several years ago and I'm looking to sell some of that address space. I have a number of "stars" available which are bundles of 65,000 urbit ids (planets). Each planet supports 2^32 devices. There are 4 billion urbit ids (planets) in total.
The price is $5100 per star, firm, unless you might be interested in a bulk discount. It's payable in a major cryptocurrency that we can agree on or by wire transfer, transferwise, or zelle.
You can pick your name for an extra $100 (I have several prespawned stars, but would need to pay extra gas fees to spawn a specific one). Name list here.
I have the ability to offer escrow services only if you pay in ETH. Otherwise, we'll have to do it the old fashioned way, however I am widely known in the community and I've delivered many stars without a problem.
The process will generally work like this.
I will also sell a planet (azimuth point) for $20 plus gas fee (paypal, venmo, zelle, crypto, whatever), which basically covers my time and cost (thanks defi!) to run all of the smart contracts to generate one and send it (you can pick the name from these options for an extra $20 : https://urbit.live/~falnem#planets/7, left tab).
And if you happen to be interested in purchasing a galaxy, I have a different one for sale and am open to offers. Serious offers only, please...something that is in the ballpark of 256 x star prices.
As an aside, I have every intention of holding onto my galaxy and providing a full suite of services for the stars and planets under my galaxy. I assume this really doesn't become reality for another year or so, but if anybody is interested in working together on something like that send me an email. Please know that such efforts are likely not going to get rolling until late 2021.
