[ANN] FACTOM - Introducing Honesty to Record-Keeping

[BrianDeery]

Cornett, I updated my response to install btcd to help 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?

There is a 1 to 1 relationship between the 12 words and a Factom key.  That key can be present in multiple wallets.
https://github.com/FactomProject/FactomDocs/tree/master/token_sale

The wallets themselves generate their own keys based on a seed.  If you receive factoids to your wallet (outside of the one from koinify), and delete the wallet, there is no recovery.

The wallet has a deterministic seed, but recovery from old backups is not programmed into the wallet yet.  you should backup the wallet after every new address is created.

So once I've received my Koinify factoids into my factom wallet, there is no need to protect my 12 words and I may as well publish them?

[BrianDeery]

The import process does not sweep them into a new address.  They are still valuable unless you actively send the factiods to a new address in your wallet.

do not publish them unless the balance shows zero when you do a "factom-cli balances"

Factoids are account based, not transaction based.  unlike bitcoin, you can partially spend from an address.

Yes, we just implemented this capability. 

If you enter your 12 word master passphrase from the presale it will import the balance to your Poloniex account.  Please remember it is still a blockchain transaction, so it will not be instant.

Good news!

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!

Is this information correct? Factom IPOed 50% of total coins and the average IPO price is 0.00052btc/factoid?

Yes, and buyers have had their btc frozen for 6 months, your point?

[BrianDeery]

ok, I fixed a bug in the 12 word importation.  if your first word started with an "a", and had problems, this might fix it.

V 0.3.3 is up on github and installing from source should get the latest version.

The binary installers are not yet updated, but I have precompiled some for the impatient:

Note, if you are seeing checksum errors, there is still the checksum bug.  I have created this code as a workaround:

I go through all of italianMiner72's posts, this guy just want to troll, he might want to buy more FCT in lower price.

but you are wrong...

[Jiggy0001]

[italianMiner72]

My factoids don't show up in my balance

What might be the reason?

Wtf are you talking about? I moved some of my Fct to Pol very easily, and I suck at this sort of thing. The user is the problem.

I have to say italianMiner72 your attitude towards projects and calling them scam as soon as you can't get something to work or something doesn't work for you is seriously wrong.
I have seen you on other threads/projects doing the exact same thing. For instance:

On the Spells of Genesis thread, even though I was trying to help answering your questions as best as I could as a community member you wrote:

until now nothing...
i think i open a scam post on thread "scam accusation"

And earlier on this thread:

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!

You threaten legit projects who are trying their best to deliver to open Scam Accusations threads if they don't fix your issues.
To be honest I never seen this before, maybe a couple of times but do you think this is the right way of dealing with issues?

I think you owe an apology for being so impulsive, I do understand people get stressed when dealing with coins, money and related delays but you don't give yourself any favour by acting like this.
Then as soon as you find a way around it you are all smiles...

I'm not blaming you for anything just want to point out your attitude to other community members, please change that it will go a long way for everyone else.
