[ANN] FACTOM - Introducing Honesty to Record-Keeping

[BitcoinSanDiego]

BitcoinSanDiego:

Check which version you are on.  We fixed one problem which caused the S error earlier.  These are the latest versions:

Code:

$ factom-cli properties
Protocol Version:   0.1.5
factomd Version:    0.3.2
fctwallet Version:  0.1.2
factom-cli Version: 0.1.2

I made a more forgiving converter for the 12 words. There was at least one case where the token sale generated 12 words with an invalid checksum.  This software also recovers the private key for those.

This is what it gives when you give it 12 words from the token sale

Code:

$ go run wordRecovery.go 
Enter 12 words from Koinify here: xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx 
Your Factoids were found in the bitcoin blockchain.
you can use the 12 words to import the Factoids into a wallet.
The corresponding public and private keys are:


Factoid Private Key: Fs3xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Factoid Address: FA3xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Check your balance at http://explorer.factom.org/


if you purchased factoids in one of these btc transactions:

please contact Factom to recover your Factoids

to run it, first install golang. http://www.wadewegner.com/2014/12/easy-go-programming-setup-for-windows/

run:

Code:

go get github.com/FactomProject/factoid
go get github.com/FactomProject/factoid/wallet
go get github.com/FactomProject/go-bip39
go get github.com/FactomProject/go-bip32

download the wordrecovery sourcecode:
https://github.com/FactomProject/Testing/blob/master/FactomTests/bruteForce/wordRecovery.go
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FactomProject/Testing/master/FactomTests/bruteForce/wordRecovery.go

run the code with "go run wordRecovery.go"

Or download the binaries.  Apologies for the quick and dirty distribution method, but check the hashes of the binaries:
$ sha256sum *
87f82f7fa2c3add67515a155555a3e0fe31dfe7acdeec661c8bdcb4a73778917  wordRecovery.exe
2291d68f3f3fe0ff8c754c6ebdb7a2dd83d127c0842b379429792323318ab5f2  wordRecovery.go
e94e23d5e46bd6f6ad9509d089a7311b5549cb87f6c40b50e2a3faf13c686086  wordRecovery-mac
Mac: http://dropjar.com/#1y5m9x9s
Windows: http://dropjar.com/#1kfubghk
These are standalone (no internet needed), and can be run on an isolated VM if needed.

Brian,

I am running the latest version of the Factom wallet software:

Protocol Version:   0.1.5
factomd Version:    0.3.2
fctwallet Version:  0.1.2
factom-cli Version: 0.1.2

I also ran the wordrecovery binary in Windows PC and it gave me Bitcoin transaction ids but it did not give me a public key or private key, as shown in your post.  When I tried the wordrecovery-mac binary on Macbook it didn't work because it's not executable program.

My last resort is to try installing GO and that route.  I'm wondering why I don't get the same results using wordrecovery.exe as you showed

BitcoinSanDiego: PM sent

Compiling from scratch will not give different results.  I mainly provided the code so that you would not have to run random binaries without knowing what it is doing, and could compile it yourself to reduce trust.

[Djinou94]

2278 BTC raised and no GUI wallet like Ethereum

More they raised unless they do

At least Ethereum had a easy way to transfer coins to Kraken exchange

WOWOWOOWOWOW

windows release do not work....
i instal an ubuntu deskto live...
try to install all and
TADAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

this is the result!!!



many many congratulation to devs!!!!

[italianMiner72]

I'm really disappointed.
if factom devs do not fix the problem by tonight I'll open a thread in the scam accusation!!!

but hope they fix it!

if you are so skilled why you do not help us instead offending us?
fly down and keep calm.

i repeat.. if you are so skilled... give us a proof.

To have low trust, the best way it to install from source code. Golang makes it ridiculously easy to download and compile binaries once Go itself is installed and setup correctly.

Here are some directions on how to get Factom up and running from source code:
https://github.com/FactomProject/FactomDocs/blob/master/communityTesterDirections.md

The binaries are there to help people get started quickly, but we have done the bulk of our testing with using these commands:

Code:

go get -v -u github.com/FactomProject/FactomCode/factomd
go get -v -u github.com/FactomProject/fctwallet
go get -v -u github.com/FactomProject/factom-cli

i hope you factom guys will come up with the GUI wallet soon....

Obviously if software is not produced as quick as italianminer72 prefers, it is a scam.

i hope you factom guys will come up with the GUI wallet soon....

We have a GUI in the works...  Should be able to put out a beta next week.

My statement was in response to your immature threat. Let's get real, support good projects and stop the assumptions

What's the cropped error above?

[tobeaj2mer01]

IPO info of Factom, so the totaly supply of FCT is 8,759,946(4,379,973X2), correct?

This morning at 8AM PST, the Factom software sale successfully concluded. Over 1,500 people participated, 4,379,973 Factoids were sold, for a grand total of 2,278 BTC raised!

This is the pic from HowTo:

Did you compile from source or install the binaries?

Yes. I have 3 binary files included in FactomApps folder in Applications directory after setup.

Can you post or link to the uncropped output you get when running factomd?

Actually we are in Austin, which is a 3 hours drive from Houston.

Is this on a Mac?

This looks like it will be tricky to diagnose.

Our code is based on btcd for the networking layer.  It would be good to know if btcd suffers from the same problem.  that would help narrow down the problem.

Please let post what happens when you run btcd.  Here are some directions: https://github.com/FactomProject/FactomDocs/blob/master/factomFullInstall.md

You only need btcd, not the wallet or the gui for this test.

Brian, can you tell me if the 12-word Koinify keyphrase can be used to re-import a wallet once it has already been imported into a factom wallet?
