[ANN] FACTOM - Introducing Honesty to Record-Keeping

[bitChipper]

tried to figure out some facts but instead this thread is full with moon, hype and shills...

Ya this is not the best source for anything technical, mostly price speculation with some news scattered here and there. Check out factoms reddit or hop into slack to get better information and discussion.

Dev when moon?

But seriously, this project's FA is phenomenal. Very surprised it hasn't pulled a NEO yet.

Moon!!! I don't think. the volume is devided by 10 this week. the price vs btc is also down.
the coming weeks will show if fct can recover (vs btc) from the last dip.

I am really excited about Factom! I joined their funding round mid-2016. Fucking awesome! And now I see Factom will be involved in the 2020 olympics in china or japan? I don't remember which country, but I LOVE FACTOM!.

Today Paul wrote in the chat:

I'm putting a summary together (actually did last week) of what we did at the Medici Summit and who we talked to.  The post is late at this point, and I'm sorry about that.  Right now we have a flood of people wanting to work with us, invest in us, and use our tech. And I'm pushing out M3. That's all great news, but it is burning up our bandwidth.

Let's be patient!

Does factom stake in the wallet? If so, how much?

Wow, another one. I'm amazed how this Factom news keeps getting posted by members of the community and not by the team itself. I really hope that Factom will start to announce these sort of developments themselves too, after all, that's the news that most people will read or hear about, not only by this Bitcointalk thread.

Hi

does FACTOM have a max supply ? And if yes how much ?

Thank you

Hi

Thank you

It wont have a set amount for supply, after M3 gets rolled out there will be a certain amount of factoids created every month for an incentive for the federated servers, but supply will always be a kind of see saw mechanism as people have to burn factoids to get entry credits to make entries into factom...so supply could either be decreasing or increasing depending on usage of the protocal

the factom team doesnt really focus on this thread, they are more active on slack and reddit, community members kind of keep this thread going but its really not necessary....if you look at some of the top cryptos now-a-days some of them dont even have a bctalk ANN

It would be nice if they would drop in now and then. Fct is a great coin but is falling slowly out of top 100 which seems crazy. Maybe we can get more people involved in Fct if ann thread sees some encouraging posts from the team

I always thought that factom would overtake Decred but it turned to be something else entirely! Why factom has been stuck on so low for so long is outta my mind. The price will stay their unless the devs outperform and bring something lucrative but no updates from them!

Factom will be present at the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Blockchain Superconference in Dallas, Texas February 16-18, and David gives us a sneak peek at what he will discuss at the conference, including the power of blockchain to decentralize enterprises and industries that are traditionally centralized, and give us some real-world use cases.

Let's wait for news from the Blockchain Superconference

They are on Phase 4 of their implementation of IOT security for the department of homeland security....they have recieved (I think) 4 separate grants from them.

Its one thing to do an ICO and collect a lot of crypto from the general public but to get a grant from the government is saying something, Factom may be one of the only blockchain protocols in the world that is actively being cooperated with government (iota also i believe).

There are so many reasons to be bullish on factom i could shill all day...IMO some of the best investments in crypto are protocol related projects like factom, ZRX, REP ect ect..

DYOR and look around but i have read on multiple crypto related investment funds that protocol coins have the most potential.
