One of the tests I run is: g factomd -count=25 -net=alot+ -blktime=30 -enablenet=false -network=LOCAL -startdelay=5 > out.txt This sets up a control console that you can use to play with a simulated network of 25 factom instances. Then I cd to the factomd directory (on my machine that's ~/go/src/github.com/FactomProject/factomd Then in another console I run Now this console gives an over view of all the nodes running in real time. Think of it as a "status console". This is really crude 1980's console programming, but it is lightweight and effective. As status messages are printed, they replace the previous, to give the illusion of status updates in the status console. If you go back to the control console, you can type 'h' followed by an 'enter" to get all the commands you can execute. The important one is to type 's' followed by enter. This will start the printing of status to the status console. Typing the node number (0-24 in this case) puts the 'focus' on one of the nodes (as denoted by the 'f' on the that node's line in the status console). Typing 'w' followed by enter directs all api calls to the instance denoted by the 'w' on that node's line in the status console. If you go to http://localhost:8090 , you will see factomd's built in Explorer to get web based feedback on the status of a node in your test. Please note that this information comes only from the instance with the 'w' next to it, and by default node 0 if you don't do anything. I hope this helps get you started. I really do intend to get some better documentation and blog posts together for people as soon as I can get some time. This is so cool, thank you! Just (hopefully) a last question on this topic: what is the 'g' command? Googling it is quite difficult... |

Does anyone know how to start a local private network? I don't mean the testnet but a real private one for development purposes. I remember Brian or Paul mentioned it somewhere as a sidenote, but I can't find it anymore... edit: seems like the solution is somewhere buried within factomd/scripts folder edit: I'm now using this command. However, I'm not sure if it makes totally sense  At least the node visualizer starts counting blocks from 1 increasing every 10 seconds: factomd -enablenet=false -node=0 -count=3 -network=LOCAL -blktime=10 -runtimeLog=true -netdebug=5 -customnet=123 Any improvement suggestions or comments on this? edit: run the following command to import an address with 20k factoids (this works at least on the m2-rc1 branch): factom-cli importaddress Fs1KWJrpLdfucvmYwN2nWrwepLn8ercpMbzXshd1g8zyhKXLVLWj |

https://www.smartrac-group.com/pr/smartrac-launches-dloc.html" The solution can be applied to almost any document, using a printed barcode representing a number, as well as linking personalized data to the document itself. A dLoc sticker is applied to the document. That sticker contains a Smartrac Bullseye NFC inlay, within which is integrated a security chip chosen from a range of different chip platforms with storage capacities between 1kB and 64kB. In addition, dLoc stickers support all the security features, like guilloches, UV print, micro text or latent image normally found in high-security documents.
To enable document authentication in the course of the issuance process, document data is married with the unique ID of the NFC tag to create a 32-bit hash value, which is only recognizable by the issuing agency using a private key. The hash value is stored in Smart Cosmos and backed up in a public blockchain. Once that has happened, the document with the dLoc sticker can be verified using a desktop reader, or more likely, a mobile app on an NFC-enabled phone." Does one entry credit only allow one hash up to 1kb or can it contain multiple hashes up to 1kb? If multiple hashes can be put into one entry credit, Smartrac could put 250 (8000 / 32 bit) tags into one entry credit. A yearly production of 2.6 billion RFID transponders would account for a usage of 10.4 million (2.6 billion / 250) entry credits, assuming every tag is stored on the Factom blockchain. I got the yearly production from: https://www.smartrac-group.com/files/content/About%20us/SMARTRAC_Company_Presentation.pdfPlease correct me if I'm wrong. As far as i know only one kb can be stored for every kb, so they prob need max 64 entry credits for a document, you might think thats insane expansive, but thats only 6 dollar cent for the bigest ones. Not whole documents/data will be stored on the blockchain, but just hashes of documents/data: http://media.coindesk.com/uploads/2014/11/Factom.jpgSmartrac states they will create a 32-bit hash value per tag, so the previous calculations made a few pages back might be too ambitious, unfortunately. Edit: data won't be hashed as the link will show Every application is free to store any kind of data it wants, up to 10kb per entry for 1EC per 1kb. That may be (multiple) hashes, plaintext or both. It all depends on how the application works and what data it needs. |

@Factom: What encoding are you using for the data attribute of the gzip compressed template files at template.go? I altered the localTop.html and want factomd to serve this modified file. "index/localTop.html": {

I get the impression that there's none controlling the market but a crowd of individuals which do and hence act in a manner which moves the market in exactly the way they expect it  |
|
|

I know this has been explained already 1000 times and it is essential to understand Factom but could somebody explain again why Factoids are needed if a company can buy directly Entry Credits to use the Factom Blockchain? Thx in advance  You need an incentive for node operators. |

If the host system (windows) isn't secure then the guest systems are not, too. Better install a linux system on a flash drive and install your crypto tools on it.

guten abend. kann mir mal bitte jemand erläutern was es mit dem "forging" auf sich hat?  es taucht auch in diesem forum immer wieder als diskussionsstoff auf und im lisk-client ist ja nun auch mit der netten fabrik als symbol versehen. wie ihr an meinen formulierungen wohl schon gemerkt habt, ich bin nicht der computer-und internet freak. mir geht es eher um die anlage- und zukunftsaussichten bei den jungunternehmen im cryptobereich. deswegen entschuldigt bitte die teilweise holperige ausdrucksweise, bei der mancher freak sich wohl die hände an den kopf schlagen mag - aber wie heiss es so schön: wer nicht fragt bleibt dumm!!! vielen dank im voraus. Gleich erster Treffer |

And to all those guys thinking that someone is manipulating the market:
I think this is just stupid FUD all the time.
It is just possible to make money of "manipulating" if ppl buy or sell on panic or make stupid moves at all. Otherwise if a big whale moves the market he is the one who looses the most.
How do you call it if within a second the buy side drops from 800 BTC to 150 BTC and goes to 800 BTC again 5min later? If that is not manipulation you're either naive or don't know the meaning of the word manipulation. This is btw something you go to jail in a lot of countries. Waiting for the day these laws also apply to crypto. |

Yes, looks like the Genesis Block has been added to the code |

Hey, just tested it with FF 35.0.1 (should be the latest version) and it's working good.
Latest version is 49.0.1 |

What advantage does this service offer compared to just handing out the merchants address directly to the customer? It would also be usefull to hand over just a fiat value and receive the according xmr amount. An average merchant can't code the conversion calculation nor doesn't he want to mandate someone for it. edit: is it mainly that this service creates a unique address for each payment and manages the relationship between "order id <-> incoming payment"? |

Total entries, not daily But yeah, still a great milestone |

Any early miners with lots of empty accounts that you don't want, PM me.
why do you want empty accounts? I'd guess it has something to do with taxes... |

Some real action on Polo today. Anyone know any good reasons why?
Not sure why it would randomly pump 9%. I guess someone got sick of waiting for a dump to get in. 10%?? Not sure anyone s that dumb to buy up 10% without a reason. There s always a reason. The reason may be very simple: M2 is coming closer each day and people don't wanna miss out |

Thanks haggis for comment - again unfortunately - does not seem much related to what I wrote. If you really think a marketing blondie said something with a value, do not hesitate and enlighten us all, sharing is caring. Anchoring is every 10 minutes as stated in the whitepaper I linked. I have never said you have to store in the blockchain 1:1 - you can, but why, just chain - hash. Repeating myself. Again. BTW there is a FREE service running with API for proven timestamping applied on bitcoin blockchain - guess what - they just chain hashes at the end of the day. I see you are all selling a thin air Indeed. You just should go ahead and build a wrapper company about this FREE API and then convince experienced investors, DHS, Wall Street and other institutions to rate your company with $30m. I'm done with you. Me and others tried to educate you but it looks as you are not interested in it. Just trolling. |

Thanks for that clarification, Josef27. A bit worrisome. And thanks Tempus for patience, I am sorry, I probably still do not understand, please see below. The whitepaper on the first page says "Factom is a general purpose data layer, secured by the Bitcoin Blockchain." So it seems to me it really is just another layer and it stores hashes into Bitcoin itself (by spamming it with OP_RETURN). I can do that myself and do not need Factom Inc, Entry Credits, Factoids, and to trust to a new technology with Federated Servers and Audit Servers that they somehow magically come to consensus. Yes - it is a ready made solution that may attract companies, and Factom Inc. can be their partner. You are right. That's what I meant with "not technically skilled ....". But again - even if now the price is cheap, if I say "the space in the blockchain is scarce", it must come with a price, so while it will always be cheaper to store data with FCT, the storing price will go up (even if "they will have in mind to do it in best interest for the Factoid-price"). And the infrastructure costs will be there. Now I'd say it is about 0.1 USD to store 32B with BTC against 0.00003 USD with FCT that is a big (3000x) gain, I agree. But who needs many can just "chain his hashes" as I mentioned. Again - as I said - Factom really seems to be "just a sugar" to me (with capitalization over 26,000,000 USD . Thanks for videos, I stopped the first one in 15 sec after "... Marketing Officer ... what is blockchain" and the second one in 20 sec after " bitcoin .. 7 tps .. company .. trillion transactions per day .. it's never gonna scale" (as I said - "chain hashes"). I am not trying to be clever, I know I am not, just trying to understand. Factom doesn't write each entry 1:1 to the bitcoin blockchain and is thus not spamming OP_RETURNs. Only every "now and then" the state of the factom blockchain ("anchoring"), I don't have the real number handy. Moreover, anchoring to Ethereum is in development as well. Others are possible in the future. So Factom doesn't depend on just one blockchain. And if you realy try to understand, you shouldn't stop watching videos after 15 or 20 seconds just because the CMO is talking. A CMO is explaining the advantages to an audience with little to no knowledge about blockchain technology. So that might be helpful to you (or not - you will know that AFTER watching the videos ). |
