[ANN] FACTOM - Introducing Honesty to Record-Keeping

[mtnsaa]

Someone knows something, usually there's a little jump in price before major news, crypto is not regulated and the temptation is too high. I'm not saying the team is trading or anything like that but there are plenty of people who can figure out if a release is getting ready, news are getting released etc.

Maybe it was only because of BTC dump, but I doubt it because it didn't went down as BTC recovered...

[Pap0u]

holy shit , fct back from 24k to 25.5k . Nice 5% profit

this is the SIXth time for doing oppositely at what Papou says in order to gain nice profit. Thank you Papou 

Yup Factom is up and going u slowly. 150 BTC buy orders just showed up.... And the price is 260K. Good luck with your shorts papao

Thanks man. I had closed the one I opened at 320k around 240k and I just shorted again at 272k, already in the money go fct!

[Pap0u]

I hope everyone knows you can buy and sell to yourself in crypto exchanges. That's how they manipulate prices on you guys. They sell to themselves to either pump or dump the price to force you guys to pay whatever they want, in a controlled way so the thing doesn't take off one way or another. Factom market isn't newbie friendly, you guys need to stick to BTC and ETH which is a little easier to play with. Chinese have Factom by the balls

Wow. No one here ever realised you could do that.

Clever.

So clever.

I might just buy and sell the price up to 0.1btc. I'm gonna be rich rich rich!!

So Papu, oh mighty TA expert, where s that 0.0015 price, ha? Guess your trolling has failed and all you can do is to lick your wounds now BS to us how you made even more money and this was all your intent.

Well, I still wish you best of luck. I hope next time you play your cards a bit smarted.

this guy really doesn't know how to advise people at all.
Eth/BTC 's market aren't newbie friendly too because they also offers margin

if you don't know how to give advise , then stop pretending on being one

oh wait, how can a troll know to give good advise ?

Paul Snow has called the release of M2 the capstone for Factom for this year and many others to come. It is now Dec 11th. We are very close now boys and girls.

I would imagine a date to move Poloniex and other exchanges over will be annouced soon. In addition, Factom has many clients to transition over which would likely take a couple of weeks. If we're going to hit this year for the release expect this news and dates early next week folks. 

This is just speculation of course.

Guys, do you remember the last time when Factom really pumped? It was around 19/20/21 December 2015 

[flashbit]

Guys, do you remember the last time when Factom really pumped? It was around 19/20/21 December 2015  

Yes it went 4-5x during that time. Sentiment is definitely turning bullish.

[sandwraithBTC]

guys, plz stop spreading bullish news. Let's this Papou be liquidated first with his SHORT
this scumbag needs to get a lesson first

oh shoot, maybe he has already closed his short at 27.2k and be in long position now

I recall this run, an organic market with accurate supply/demand metrics before they added FCT to margin and it became a plaything for overzealous shorts.

He sold at 22-23 thinking it ll go down to 15 and now he does not know what to do. Troll never changes his behavior.

[lolikop]

I can feel it sense it... m2 is very very very close we will see a whole new market better get in now its like jan 2016 buying eth we all know what happend after

[crazyivan]

Well, if there would be a few more big orders like that one of 32k Factom, everything s possible.

However, I still see Factom price growth as something based on fundamentals, not on speculation.

[stealthmodeactivated]

85btc buy wall at 265k

fundamentals will go boom when m2 is up and running smoothley

[zoose]

I don't see M2 making it under the Wire for 2016.Maybe early 2017. Late January would be my estimate.

Is this the correct thread for technical questions?

I downloaded and installed the Windows 64bit client and started factomd.exe
It seems like the blockchain has been sitting at the same block for a while. I'm getting the message:
[INF] BMGR: At 56819: syncing to block height 67136 from peer 52.19.117.149: 8108

How long should I expect it to take for the blockchain to fully sync?
Will I get messages as it moves to other blocks so I can see the progress?
Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot and see if/ why the sync is stuck?

Yes you can ask technical questions here. Brian Deery and Paul Snow occasionally patrol this thread. You can also post your questions here:

If you post on Reddit, you can page Brian and Paul by including "/u/paulsnow" and/or "/u/BrianDeery" in your post, and they'll be alerted to the message.

I find it can take awhile to start syncing so I just leave it on for an hour and come back and check. With me it takes (guessing) maybe 30 minutes to start syncing. You can check where you are at by opening a new terminal and entering    factom-cli get height   and once it starts syncing you will see the returned block you are at. You can also check your pc resources, I'm on linux so open my System Monitor and can see factomd and it will be using resources before it starts syncing. Not sure why or what the lag is but something is going on in the background. Perhaps some one else can provide a better explanation.
