[ANN] FACTOM - Introducing Honesty to Record-Keeping

[daburone]

with this news, people have to understand: Factom will make multi billion business.

LOL, well since you said it with such authority... 

[crazyivan]

As I say, really cannot understand how come Factom s not under much more spotlight then it actually is. Lots of other less important and less valued coins are present in the media every single day and Factom now and then. Not going to say their marketing does shitty work but something does not add up. Also, please do not tell me they do not need to get promoted. EVERYONE needs to get promoted, positive promotion only brings more clients and more money.

They are being promoted. Just not to the likes of the average polo pump n dump degenerate libertarian gambler type. And that's probably for the best, since these types of people don't tend to have a need to store billions of files on a public blockchain.

The less they are pumped, the more I can buy.  Keeps my dollar cost average down.  Unlike some of the guys on here, I can't afford to buy tens of thousands of Factoids in one fell swoop.

Not talking about pumping. Talking about real news. Take a look at an average crypto news portal. There s ether news 5x a week and factom news once every six months. However, I think factom s got much more added value. How and why?

A little bit paradox to speak of "real news" and that others would provide it 5 times a week. ;-)

And which project delivers more real news? For example: Ethereum-news of the last months were about hacks and hardfork and a lot of DDOS-attacks.

Sometimes no news is good news.

Peter Todd having a jab at Factom after someone mentioned them on the cryptography mailing list.
There's no argument made there that hasn't already been responded to at length by Deery and Snow a year ago. Having a coin attached to the protocol seems to be the main issue for him now?
That's not exactly surprising for someone who has a lengthy history of disliking altcoins by default.

Also equated Factom to Trillian, which I'm struggling to understand, I gave it a run from the github link and these two things are obviously very different entities.

Not sure if anyone from the company wants to counter this stuff considering it's all been answered at length ad nauseum.
Still, some really bizarre statements being made on a popular mailing list and possibly deserves attention.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

Does anything else really need to be added?

Is there a bether wallet than factoid wallet ?

Hopefully they are busy working on improving things and getting partnerships with real companies, rather than worrying about what is reported on some bullshit crypto news websites.
I think this project has long term potential. If it takes off Factom could be huge.
One of these companies stands to become a major player in the tech world.

No offence to Factom, they may make a nice gui wallet themselves, but i'll probably just use the Exodus wallet to move FCT around, its ridiculously good looking and a solid platform. I may get burnt saying it now, but feel they take security seriously and are intent on making a decent product that will last, it's not just trying to be some flashy crypto fad, they are obviously in for the long haul.

Unsure about the built-in shapeshift when I can just send to an exchange instead and swap the same coins for a much smaller fee. But laziness always has a price, i may still use shapeshift for small amounts, assume that's what Exodus hope I will do.

Factoids aren't a currency like btc, it doesn't need it's own wallet in my opinion. Factoids are what people burn so they can use the Factom protocol.

Strongly accumulating these days. I like this price right now, is well below fair value. Coinmarketcap can't even keep up with the decreasing supply.

Hmm, no M2 updates on github in 2 days ... Could be they're doing a round of tests. Could be something else, something else entirely ...

[Mimir]

It's the weekend dude? They seem to be up all hours making commits if you ask me.

Best code is written at 3am on a Tuesday anyways!

[crazyivan]

I have no doubt Factom team s working as hard as possible. After all, it s in their best interest, as well as ours, to have this out and ready as soon as possible. However, that does not mean they should launch a semi finished product. As I ve said, as long it gets out in 2016, it fine. After that, well, it would become questionable.

[Mimir]

However, that does not mean they should launch a semi finished product.

Agreed, look at all the troubles everywhere else in crypto, I have no problem with them taking their time, do it right the first time hey.
I'll just keep stocking up coins.

[D-Lux]

1) No one seriously doubts AFAIK that FCT will rise significantly and permanently after the launch of M2.

2) No one seriously doubts AFAIK that M2 won't, at some point - whenever - be released.

3) As an investor at least, all else is irrelevant.
