Look at the large buy order at the beginning of the graph and that huge dump at the end of the graph. So obvious and simple pump and dump.

I'm new to Factom. Trying to set up the wallet and my factomd keeps shutting itself down. Is that normal? This is where it quits... https://puu.sh/p0nVd/e21d015db0.pngIt then scrolls something too fast for me to see before shutting down. I don't think it can finish syncing the chain. EDIT: This is what I'm trying to follow (for windows) https://www.factom.com/howto/binaries-install-guide/It says download factom.msi but I couldn't find it on the site. I had to google to find it here... http://factom.org/downloads/Maybe it is too old? It says last updated 2-11-16

It says last updated 2-11-16 That is the default screen that it should show when it is downloading the blockchain. to see the progress, open a new terminal window and type it will show how many blocks have been downloaded. When it has the same number as http://explorer.factom.org/ is showing, then you have the whole blockchain. once you get the whole blockchain, click on the other desktop shortcut. this will load walletapp, which opens a webpage to manage the wallet. if it scrolls and closes, then it is displaying a message, then windows is closing the terminal. try opening a terminal window from the run dialog. then start factom with this will keep the window open and you can see what it is complaining about.

OK I'm on a metered connection at the moment. What is the safest way to send FCT from my Factom address without downloading the blockchain?

OK I'm on a metered connection at the moment. What is the safest way to send FCT from my Factom address without downloading the blockchain? if you want to use fctwallet (no GUI) you can modify the line FactomdAddress in the factomd.conf file in the .factom directory to point to a public factom client. I'd have to do some digging to find one right now. https://github.com/FactomProject/FactomCode/blob/master/factomd/factomd.conf; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; Configurations for fctwallet ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Wallet] Address = localhost Port = 8089 DataFile = fctwallet.dat RefreshInSeconds = 60 BoltDBPath = "" FactomdAddress = localhost <Change this to an IP address FactomdPort = 8088
Another option is to construct the transaction in walletapp and submit it anyways. If you haven't moved the factoids in a while, then there would not have been any balance changes in the interim, so it wouldn't make any difference to walletapp. I have not tested if submitting a transaction without having the whole blockchain works, but it might. I give it a 75% chance it will work. you will have to look at http://explorer.factom.org to see if the balance changes on-chain. If it doesn't work, then you can build, sign and export the transaction in walletapp. the current fees are 0.0078 if you have 1 input and 1 output, so the output should be less than the input by at least that much. It will export text that looks like this: 020154d73e17b301010083dceb9400646f3e8750c550e4582eca5047546ffef89c13a175985e3202 32bacac81cc42883ad93d200646f3e8750c550e4582eca5047546ffef89c13a175985e320232baca c81cc42801718b5edd2914acc2e4677f336c1a32736e5e9bde13663e6413894f57ec272e28526099 edb105194f86bff145224c4a610e5d28995537acc8476d4efba5a7c77220a8066215a7bf4f8fbd05 5b8c34c1b6a79b1f90b486a6c4235c7c6e4d65c103
you can PM this to me and I will broadcast it. It has a 12 hour timeout though.

Thanks for the link. The install guide I don't think links to this. Unfortunately my problems still remain. It seems to quit on block 15182 It shuts down faster this time. if it scrolls and closes, then it is displaying a message, then windows is closing the terminal. try opening a terminal window from the run dialog. then start factom with this will keep the window open and you can see what it is complaining about. So I tried this and it is still auto-closing. I've tried with and without my PIA vpn on. I noticed I don't have a factomd.conf file in the .factom folder. Could this be my problem? The terminal barks about this in the beginning. ----------------------------------- EDIT: Thought I would just add that within .factom, the ldb folder is only 112MB and the data folder 481MB EDIT2: I made the factomd.conf file from the post above. There are no errors now at the beginning but it still just shuts itself down @ 15182 What IP address should I change FactomAddress to? EDIT3: Looks like I am still missing a NONE.conf file? Also do I need to place an argument after factomd so it doesn't do this "initialize only" state? view here... http://puu.sh/p18hE/d0829e367e.jpgSorry for being dumb. This is way more confusing than a regular qt wallet I am used to.

> So I tried this and it is still auto-closing. I've tried with and without my PIA vpn on
to be clear, open the windows cmd prompt. it should be interactive. you should be able to type "dir" and it will show a list of files. Then type "factomd". the cmd window should stay open even if factomd quits. This will allow you to see the error messages.
> I noticed I don't have a factomd.conf file in the .factom folder. Could this be my problem? The terminal barks about this in the beginning.
It uses the internal config file if you don't provide one, so that is ok. The config file is only useful if you are doing weird things.
> EDIT: Thought I would just add that within .factom, the ldb folder is only 112MB and the data folder 481MB
hmm, you might be using an old version which disconnects sporadically. the data folder is more for debugging and generates thousands of tiny files. the latest version doesn't make this folder by default. try deleting the data directory too. It can generate so many files that it exhausts your filesystem inodes. The windows installer should show which version of factomd you are running. another way to find the version is to run factomd, fctwallet, and then "factom-cli properties" all in different terminal windows.
>EDIT3: Looks like I am still missing a NONE.conf file? >Also do I need to place an argument after factomd so it doesn't do this "initialize only" state?
Those are vestigial errors. they do not mean anything.
