1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Ready to trade Factoms. Is there a Factom wallet? on: September 04, 2017, 06:15:56 AM
Hi All,

I purchased some Factoms at their ICO. Now I'm ready to trade them. All I have is my Factom seed phrase (about 12 random words). Is there a Factom wallet? If yes, which one should I use? I use Windows 10.

Is this the only Factom wallet available? https://docs.factom.com/#enterprise-wallet

Thanks,

Download enterprise wallet from their github page, click on import address, there's a few different options, coinify 12 words is one of them

It's hilarious how all these people have probably done more damage than any good work the bounty promotions did.

 Icos should take notice how dangerous all these people are and how they will put 10x more effort into slandering the ico if they feel aggrieved

I added to my explorer a ranking for biggest entry credit spenders: https://freefactomizer.com/index.php/explorer/top_credit_spenders/

Two facts:
- Right now only 63 public keys have spent at least 1 entry credit
- The large majority of EC spent are from only 10 public keys.

Any chance of showing EC address instead of hex?

Mainly for egotistical reasons. Be nice to see my name in the Factom hall of fame.

Someone asked for a Factom rich list?
https://factoid.live
Looks like factoid.live isn't showing any info. Any idea what's up?

Getting the same, seems like a problem with the site itself, it is just an individual who runs it.

Was under the impression it scrapes from explorer.factom.org, but my addresses are showing up there perfectly fine.

Something might have changed under the hood of explorer, that or he didn't pay some bills. It happens.

Do not forget the effect of the new wallet and the fact margin lending will be out of coins unless there s increase in price and lending interest rate.

Lending rate on polo used to be amazing start of the year. Was getting around 15% month, solid returns, made it worthwhile keeping on exchange. But of course that couldn't last, shorters gave up,  someone dumped huge amounts on the lending market (probably the paid polo lending services moving in, but perhaps polo themselves?) yet to see any decent rates come back.
Shame, I did quite enjoy taking money from the shorters.

Did you get synced? I have waited some long times before the new blocks start syncing, maybe it scans the previous blocks and this takes time (I'm just guessing here). When I have another terminal open and enter    factom-cli get height      I see that the action has been performed in the factomd terminal and each time a different value is returned, which lets me know that it is working, as also checking CPU usage. I have had disconnections at times, not since the last released binaries,  but it tels me that in the factomd terminal. I haven't had any stalls though....   Maybe you have synced now,  if not at least this give you a bump....

I also had an issue with factomd stalling on windows this week, was stuck at around the same height, clearing the ldb folder fixed it. No problems on the linux machine though.

I had a few things running at the same time as factomd, including the Burst coin wallet and miner.

Don't know much about Burstcoin, Factom will be using ports 8088/8089/8090/8096 by default, possible interference there, can change these in the config file 'factomd.conf' if you wish.
Unsure about how hdd mining really works though, it could be something completely different.

I'm not from the team but happy to have a look if you drop the logs into a pastebin or some such.

what is your opinion about the fact that such an amount seems to be so centrally owned by a hand full of people

For one I'd be terrified if people in the company didn't own some FCT. It provides incentive, you should hope they own as much as possible.

Secondly, you are ignoring the fact that the top account is worth 5X the second account. It's widely assumed to be the Poloniex cold wallet. Now where are the other exchange wallets?

Thirdly, It has no underlying PoS, large bagholders present no threat. FCT isn't made to be a currency that transfers wealth, it's a software license, by holding FCT you are expecting that people will use the system to make entries.

That s what puzzles me. If Factom s really that good and this potentil s been recognized by several great names in the industry, how come XMR volume s 5x Factom or even more. It s gotta be related to the Polo margin lending which makes people keep their Factoids on the exchange, lending them for peanuts which supresses the price and consequently volume. Exodus s gonna change that big time and then we ll see the real market value of Factom. I ve got no other sane explanation.

Factoids were only ever intended as a payment to use the system, not to transfer wealth.
Always amazed FCT has so much volume on polo, where does it all come from?  Usage of the protocol is why Factoids exist and nothing else, these carboncopy tradingbots fighting each other in an echochamber of cups and handles is just noise.

As for polo lending, FCT lending rates have been solid nearly all year, only in last few months is there a huge pool available at very low rates.
Below 0.1% daily see no value in leaving money on exchange, they are highly coveted things by the nefarious. Even if your particular coins don't get stolen you'll still be forced to pay up for it à la Bitfinex

Every answer to the questions asked can be found in the whitepaper though, or in the faq on the website. And answered ad nauseum on bitcointalk, and on reddit, and in webinars/talks/youtube videos.

All the information is out there.
It seems only fair that if a person is truly interested in the technology and wants to point out flaws then they put in some effort towards understanding it before asking strangers on the internet to summarise a faq for them.
People are right to be sceptical otherwise. FCT is traded on margin, propagating false news or fud even if only for a few hours can truly reap rewards.
I think the community is incredibly helpful explaining things to most but that thread had a smell to it

Where's Grossbit and his minions?
May be he has some quest to do for Shao Khan

Possibly greatest comment in a 300 page thread.
I do like the guy, it's just really funny though. He's always the badman around these parts.

The friction in the oyster is what makes the pearl.

Really? So this means we re irrelevant from Factom viewpoint?

Bought in bnktothefuture and own fct, still don't think there's any need to rush, do it right the first time. Can't see any problems with testnet so far, but too many crypto companies rushing things out the door. DAO anyone? There's no need for these guys to hurry, they aren't DASH/XMR/ZCASH all fighting it out in the same space.
Plenty of people think there's competitors, but have looked at them all and they ain't even playing the same game, yet to see one viable alternative who offers anything close to what Factom does. Take my dollars well seriously hey and this my observations.

Really don't mind, personally. Let them do what they do, seems to be working out fine for them.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] FACTOM - Introducing Honesty to Record-Keeping on: November 12, 2016, 12:51:56 AM
Folks, my understanding is that M2 is currently just on the testnet and as soon as it has been tested successfully, M2 will be implemented on the main chain. That would be the actually M2 and Factom would announce it again?

Please correct me if Im wrong but did I get this right?

Yeah seems to be what is suggested, once it they are happy with testnet it will switch over.
I'm sitting here spamming it with with crap entries and making a bunch of requests for my nonsense data. Test network seems to be holding up fine, even with only 6 fed servers.
Prefer they test it well rather than rush it out. Ain't no need to pander to the crypto community, they not the customers here.

Google translations never cease to make me laugh also.

Is there anymore on Jack Lui? Seems interesting.

From personal experience you can't just turn up in China as a western company and start doing business. It doesn't work like that, without a local presence to share expertise it's very tough, many things will work against you, in most cases a new entity is usually preferable to using the western company. Still, well keen to know if he'll be going solo or using the factom chain?

Network effect makes Factom a solid choice to stick with.

Business is different there, personally think it's easier once you understand, but so many companies fail to realise how different it is.

There's videos where Paul Snow seems to encourage other companies to sell access to the factom network, they don't have a monopoly on it, but undeniably the most talent and knowledge about the system by far, which is the selling point for the company

NEM still has some excellent applications, just think it's not going to win this one.

Would also add that Proof-of-Work is the only proven method today to ensure consensus. Proof-of-Stake has it's flaws, it's a preferable system and people are working to make it happen, because PoW wastes a damn lot of energy, but that's exactly what makes PoW so strong.

 You have to be very deep-pocketed just to attempt altering current btc blocks, and nothing less than nation-state level to change blocks a 12 hours old, beyond a few days it's computationally infeasible for anyone to do, even when quantum computers come along they won't have enough power to undo the bitcoin chain. Immutable.

Factom anchors into the Bitcoin blockchain, but without all the drama of trying to do so directly, this is it's strength.

NEM uses an entirely new system, Proof-of-Importance:

Quote
POI is the algorithm used in NEM to time stamp transactions. A NEM user's importance is determined by how many coins they have and the number of transactions made to and from their wallet.

Make up your own mind.

have you checked either of the addresses on explorer?
20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] FACTOM - Introducing Honesty to Record-Keeping on: November 09, 2016, 06:24:30 AM
its the Trump and Dump

You need to trademark that. Another few days and some decent opportunities will be around methinks.
Stocks have been slaughtered, only pulled a little bit out in the lead up, ahh cautiousness my old friend. Didn't actually expect it could happen.

And Crazy, FCT still higher than last week. Not everyone measures in btc. Buy my dinner with dollars personally.
