Hey... that is awesome. Who's behind it ? I'll help promote this with a big discount. Needs a great app demo with some cool animations.

Hmm  never even thought about factom's use case for photos.

This could be big in court cases when trying to use digital photographs as evidence I would think.

You will be interested in these demos of working:

"You can use it like a copyright to verify your rights to photo, video or any clipboard content that you created"

"After you download the "Block Notary" app you can store the digital fingerprint of any content from your phone in the most secure and reliable public ledger ever created by humankind—the Blockchain"

does the hash change if the photo is modified at all? like removing meta data etc. or increasing jpg compression and things like that? to settle disputes..

Awesome! Nice to see this is picking up Speed!

I hope, and I believe, that we will see a lot of action in some time. Maybe several new great apps every months or even week.

[FACTOM]

If i buy factoids, where can i save them? Only on the exchange that i used to buy or there is any kind of wallet to save them?

There is a command line wallet for the moment. Instructions at: http://factom.org/howto.

A GUI wallet is in the making.

Easiest question would be if I email a photo from my phone to myself will it end up with same hash. some phones give you the option to select file size to send, that would change the hash.
- answer

" Get the photo
You can use Mail client on the phone.  Never compress the photo because you will have different hash. "

2nd.. this is awesome as you can take a photo of a contract recently signed and get it hashed easily on your phone. hopefully the gui wallet works just as easily and i look forward to the future where hopefully a web wallet can take care of this service without people running a local client.
3rd.. as another layer of proof of existence has anyone thought about contract signing and uploading the hash to have the other party verify the document and the hash and sign off on it as the copy they are familiar with? some kind of multisig.

Hi guys,
Blocknotary founder is here.

if you modify a photo you will have a different hash. And you will not be able to verify modified version it in the blockchain.
We upload a photo to our cloud and it remains unmodified there. From the app, you can access it or you can press "share to email"  the app will send to your email address a receipt with a link to the file.

Something like that:

Date: 2015-09-24
Description:
Hash function: SHA-256
Photo hash: f69e68fcdd6304a5c21d84144af57a6afa53a9b8a8f8afe9a4857bc9dc992e4c
Blockchain: Bitcoin Testnet3
Block No: 574009
Transaction hash: f06e15eb92a49980f649615449cd1fe9822a0f018d697087360e5b084239fd6b
Status: Notarized

P.S. It's me on the left.

You can drop this photo to http://www.blocknotary.com/validate and it will get you a link to the block and the transaction where the hash of your photo has been stored.

It seems no one cares about the price and the trading volume of FCT here, FCT's price is sh*t now!

It's very easy to manipulate a market this small. I've been looking at that chart closely and it has all the signs that someone tried to pump and dump it. That person was not successful and then dumped all the 'toids he gathered. Probably moved on to another asset on Poloniex.

It doesn't mean anything. Just wait. There is so much being built on the Factom layer. It's a matter of time before traders like you are going to have a lot of fun.

[monsiam012]

Help me please.

keymaker.exe 2.0 tell me.

"Checksum failure.
Your 12 words suffer from the known checksum error
You will not be able to import them into any wallets.
Instead, use these private and public keys.
The Fs key can be imported into factoid wallets.
Please write it down for later."
 
How I do? I can't send my Factoids to Poloniex.

Thank you.

Nice! I know of Honduras but I didn't know that also Greece could be interested:

That is why politicians seeking to clean up the Property Institute in Honduras have asked Factom, an American startup, to provide a prototype of a blockchain-based land registry. Interest in the idea has also been expressed in Greece, which has no proper land registry and where only 7% of the territory is adequately mapped.

[Raimonn]

I only know Factom, but there is any other company that has a similar system? I don't understand why factoids are falling its prices.

If there is no pumping, how do investors get their investment back, BTC is pumping, ETH is pumping..., I am glad to have sold most of my Factom already, just left 1/3, if anyone is interesting, I can sold them all at IPO price(around 10 BTC).
