[ANN] FACTOM - Introducing Honesty to Record-Keeping

[valkir]

I do agree that a good gui wallet is wallet a good idea. Im sure you guys could take 1 day to make it. 

But I keep believe in Factom!

[ELikesCrypto]

Second that, it would be appreciated to have a GUI Wallet as soon as possible, so we can get our Factoms off of Koinify and secure them. It might help Factom as a project, too, you would not want people to start dumping their coins on any exchange that offers a simple tool, like what's happening now for Ether/Kraken. If you offer a good Wallet, people will probably feel more secure and hold their Factoms longer.

[FACTOM]

Will there be a simple .exe file for newbies when Factom Beta is released, or we need to install a bunch of softwares and there is only command line in wallet as Frontier of Ethereum, it's so terrible for non-programmers, and most investors of this project are not programmers.
I saw so many complaints of this thing when Frontier release in Ethereum, please take is seriously.

.......

Not at the beginning, the beta will be a command line tool and will require installations of requirements.
There will be a GUI and a easier to use binaries in future releases.

You've got to be fucking kidding me...all of those funds and you can't release a simple GUI with the first release?

This will dump exactly like Ether did.  If anyone wants to buy mine off me, let me know.  This is nonsense.

We haven't received any funds yet, they are held in a multisig until we complete our milestones.
You will be able to get your Factoids out of Koinify, there won't be a GUI but there will be step by step instructions on how to create a Factoid address and import your Factoids from Koinify.
Work is in progress, and there will be a easy to use wallet as part of the second milestone.

If there is no issue according to your step-by-step instruction, that's good, but actually there will be various of issues which are very tricky for non-programmers just as Ethereum, they have lots of instructions too but there are still many guys who can't make their wallet working or mining. It's simple to you guys since you are very familiar with what you do but it's very very hard for newbies.

We expect some exchanges to support Factoids as soon as a wallet is available, this should be when we release our beta in the next few weeks.
Various exchanges have expressed interest.

We do take feedback seriously, the dev team is investigating what can be done to make it easier for our supporters to use Factoids.
We'll try our best to make our wallet work for as many people as possible.

Netki + Factom announce partnership

We are proud to announce a new partnership. Netki Wallet Names now support Factoids and Entry Credits. Netki has implemented
these address types into their consumer and partner offerings. All changes are live, and they have updated their API documentation.
Netki users can go to their Wallet Admin, and add Factoid and Entry Credit addresses to their Wallet Name. These addresses can be
static or a URL to an endpoint that dynamically generates addresses. The Factom and Netki collaboration means more friendly address
for users. Netki has removed a barrier for mass-market adoption of the Factom system.

The experienced and innovative team at Netki is focused on building reliable, scalable, secure, mass-market solutions that will help digital
currency reach its full potential. They are here to support the community and help bring another truly game-changing technology to the world.

Find out more about the Netki, Inc. partnership on our blog.

[The Bitcoin Co-op]

Looking forward to the release. We wrote an almost-biblical story about it http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/08/14/factom-genesis/

looks solid, but we will see when the right time comes

Is there a windows version when beta launches?

[dexX7]

https://twitter.com/junseth/status/632353045687455745

Yeah, that's a bit short of information.

Here is some discussion about it, which probably lead to the tweet:

[FACTOM]

Is there a windows version when beta launches?

We will update on that, at the beginning it will be command line. But we haven't defined what binaries will be available for the full beta.
We will try to make it available for as many platforms as possible.

In my opinion, just be patient, some governments will use Factom sooner or later, not only Honduras, it's very potential.

[fartbags]

Can you provide the BTC tx ids of the "early" private investments which will be receiving 20% of the premine?

Could you also go into more detail about this "early" investor stuff. What is it and why was it done? Why was this "early" investment phase private and not open to the public?
