I got your email, but not until I checked after dinner so missed the very brief window.

A couple observations -- The stars were underpriced, by how much it's hard to know. If your goal is to seed the owner class with random giveaways, this was a success, I suppose. Second, 1020 stars was a HUGE amount to give away. I thought perhaps you would pre-sell one star's share of planets for $1 /ea. $205 for a star is nothin.

From my armchair, what I would suggest is to focus on developing a secondary market for urbit addresses PRIOR TO any further crowdsale. That way you can get some indication of demand before pricing another Tlon-organized event.

Presumably $209k is not interesting money, even to Tlon. It's a shame you gave away 1% at that price but maybe will work out in the end as a way to bootstrap the network with early enthusiasts.

If they just give away 1% every time they can do 70+ sales before they even use up half.
