While any comment of mine is worth less than the average person's here, I too like the
IDEA behind
factom.org, that of working with real businesses to secure some types of information to the blockchain. I am not competent to judge whether their technology (I have read most of their website and look at other info) will win in the end.
FACTOIDS are not of interest to me however. How about offering up debt or equity, factom?
There are two bright programmers who have some services more-or-less in this space:
bitproof.io and
proofofexistence.comYou can see what their work looks like at their websites and take a look at what it looks like (OP_RETURN) on the blockchain at
coinsecrects.org.
This hints to me that there will be substantial competition in the store-data-as-a-hash business.
But, IMO, someone will make $$$ in this...EDIT: Just now I see that factom now has a number of transactions (+/- 1:30 AM US ET) at coinsecrects.org.
