[ANN] FACTOM - Introducing Honesty to Record-Keeping

[oneyesoneno]

When will be the day of M2 released??

Any specific day for M2?

According to github it looks like they're putting on the finishing touches, but we probably won't know when it'll be released until ... it's released. They may be waiting for the bnktothefuture raise to be finalized before releasing M2, but that's just a guess.

Well, we ve been listening to this story for the last 3 months or so. I understand they want everything to be perfect but I think the entire community s slowly losing patience which might reflect on the price.

If the price is cheaper... it means it burn faster... Since it is not even M3 yet, that's means Factom is at 0% inflation right now. Sooner or later... long term investor going to gain something from that.

Really good point -- cheers

Well, take a look at the number of Factoids being burnt. At this rate, it would take 50 years to see any meaningful reduction in number of available tokens.

OK, but the point is the rate is increasingly near-exponentially ...

it must be used and usable.

Happily, it's both ...

Nice one, it seems some of you have been holding for a long, long, LONG time.

Looks like the conversation's died ... did you scare everyone away again, crazyivan?

[MalReynolds]

I don't want the conversation to die.  Very odd to me how there is very little interaction with the very large Factom staff here.  Outsiders can only say so much without factual grist input for the mill to grind upon.

See the connection?? Good things come to those who wait

Did you read the last paragraph?

Mooti faces a rival with deep pockets. Rhodes’ blog post says that Microsoft has been collaborating with blockchain startups to build “an open source, self-sovereign, blockchain-based identity system that allows people, products, apps and services to interoperate across blockchains, cloud providers, and organizations.”

Sound familiar?

I bet money there's a Microsoft deal out there waiting to be announced.

If I'm a large company like Microsoft or IBM that is interested in Blockchain tech, you can damn well bet I invest in Factom.

I totally agree. And in this I think crazyivan has a point: Factom doesn't do a good job of communicating with the broader FCT community. There's been discussion in the past about whether or not, or to what extent, Factom is "obligated" to communicate with the broader community. And actually I think there were good points on both sides. To me it's still an open question.

YES! I absolutely agree. Being silent on these kind of news or even hints is EXTREMELY counterproductive. The whole point is for the world to KNOW about Factom, to increase user base, to increase global usage and acceptance. So WTF is the problem to post on social media, here, on their blog more then once every 3 months.

As much as the team might be good in developing the produce, marketing side is ..... well ..... inadequate.
