Yes, exactly this. I've tried so many times to engage with Urbit but at every turn things seem intentionally inscrutable. I have a star that I've wanted to sell several times, but each time I give up after several hours of unsuccessfully trying to understand the bridge/ethereum documentation.
It ends up seeming more like an art project than a new technology.
- tyui44 5y agolog into bridge w/metamask or whatever you use -> click on your star's name -> click 'id' in the menu that appears -> click 'transfer point' in the id menu -> input the ethereum address you want to send the star to and click 'generate and sign transaction'. did you really spend several hours trying to figure that out lmao
- jazzyjackson 5y agoThat sounds like a way to change the owner of a star, not sell it in exchange for eth What is obvious to some can be obscure for others, “metamask” is hardly a household name
- k2enemy 5y agoThe other reply was correct. Transferring a star is simple. I wanted to figure out how to sell it. I suppose that is also my fault of not understanding ethereum/nft terminology, not just Urbit.
- tyui44 5y agoThe sales process consists of you transferring ownership to an address the buyer provides you after they pay you; it's not programmatic. The fastest/simplest way to sell is probably to list your star on opensea.io, though there's also a marketplace group on urbit.
- k2enemy 5y agoThank you, that is helpful. I'm surprised that people are willing to send eth based on the promise to later transfer an address!
