[ANN] FACTOM - Introducing Honesty to Record-Keeping

[KLmoney]

Would it be any live stream?

It would be awesome...

Good luck, Mr. Snow & co. there seems to be a lot of expectation about Factom, I really like it.

I am not aware of a live stream, but Bitcoinist.net say they will delay broadcast the entire event.

Koinify? So it won't be on counterparty nor mastercoin?

[romerun]

koinify is a counterparty thing

[deliciousowl]

Koinify? So it won't be on counterparty nor mastercoin?

Koinify uses Counterparty. This means that Factom will be a Counterparty token.

We are also looking at Omni, to have supporters be able to participate on as many platforms as possible.
We want to make our crowdsale easy and accessible to everyone.

This is an announcement about our intention to have a crowdsale, details on how to participate and when are not defined yet.
Official announcements will be made when we are ready.

Did anyone else just realize the applicability of Factom to the Internet of Things? I'm almost done writing an article about it, and am surprised it isn't talked about more.

We do realize, we have been in talks with some industry players.
Thanks for mentioning it and looking forward to see your article.

TNABC 2015 - PAUL SNOW COFOUNDER FACTOM Innovating the Blockchain.

Paul Snow presents Factom at TNABC - Miami, enjoy the video, it is pleasant and funny to watch.
He's our superstar!

Rather than use your own tokens/entry credits, has there been research to see if side-chains would work for factom? If merge mined with bitcoin I imagine it could acquire a substantial amount of bitcoin's hashing power and it wouldn't have to worry about a whole new speculative token. The initial fundraising may be harder but Lighthouse and other sites may help.

To Factom have some IPO or is that only protocol or something over bitcoin?

We will have a crowdsale soon, more details to be announced when we have finalized it.
Factom is a data layer for the Bitcoin blockchain. With Factom is really possible to build safer and more secure record keeping on a truly global scale.
There are three types of proof that allow Factom to do that:

• Proof of Existence: a document existed in this form at a certain time.
• Proof of Process: a document existed and is linked to this new updated document.
• Proof of Audit: an updated document can be verified to have changed according to a set of rules.
