[ANN] FACTOM - Introducing Honesty to Record-Keeping

[tempus]

Can someone explain to me how it's acceptable for Factom to take their network offline with no warning whatsoever?

I just tried to withdraw about 150 factom off of Poloniex. Waited an hour and checked the blockchain, nothing. Check polo withdraw history, completed.

Nothing on the official twitter, nothing on their Facebook page, nothing on the Bitcointalk thread.... blockchain website has no record of it, and no new transactions are coming in.
Nothing about pulling the network down (apparently for several days without notice)

Polo couldn't just tell me the network was down or disallow me from withdrawing? I had no fucking idea the network was down, how would I?

Now my money is stuck while I wait an unknown period of time to find out what the fuck is going on? While the coin price can do whatever it wants?

You shouldn't have to hunt the Dev team down on Slack to find out what is going on.

WTF.

100% agree, when the network will come to live again?

They have made that public on the slack and I was one how posted it...

- and here: https://www.reddit.com/r/factom/comments/673i7o/paul_snow_update_we_are_upgrading_the_network/

On reddit others updated the status. Best place to be informed is their slack.

Hey guys. I'm interested in buying Factom. Seems like an interesting project. What's the best wallet (desktop or Android)  to use?

Hi guys,
Today I bought some FCT on Poloniex and wanted to trasfer it to Bittrex.
But did never receive it on Bittrex, can you tell me what will happen to this transaction?

Factom network is down and being updated, i have no idea how polo can give a txid while the network is down

It ll arrive, just need to wait till they restart the entire network. We re all a bit frustrated by this current issue of Factoids being stuck.

This is a message for developers here.  I bought factom on crowdsale, at some point while playing with the previous version of factom wallet I created one more address in adition to one that connected to a 12 word phrase and sent 200 factoids to that address, than the wallet backup file (factoid_wallet_bolt.db) was accidentally deleted so I left only with 12 words phrase address and the 200 factoids were lost. I do have corrupted wallet files that I tried to recover with undelete programs so I am trying to get something meaningful out of them. After lots of failed attempts, here's the last email I got from a factom support guy:

"if I were in your shoes, I would brute force trying to find the private key, if it is there.

write a script which would iterate over each byte, take the next 32 bytes, convert those bytes to a pubkey, then convert it to an FA... address. If there is a match, you have found the private key.  If that doesn't work, you can search for the 512 bit seed, and derive several private keys off of that, and check each one of those against your public key.

I'm sorry, I can't write any of this code for you, as I do not have time, but a competent developer can see the opensource I sent you earlier and write this brute forcing code."
 
If some developer here can make this script I can thank him with some part of recovered factoids. Please PM me if you can.

You should post this on the Slack as well—I think there are more people there, including developers (for Factom and otherwise). Reddit appears to be down atm but you can find the sign-up link in the "Resources for People New to Factom" post. Good luck!

Thank you, I'll try there as well

The price seems to go up a bit every few weeks and stays there. This is great cause it signals natural growth. Now I have no doubt we ll reach 0.01 BTC quite soon. Only total fool would be selling now.

Its cheap again today , I don't find much info on when they are actually releasing the Exodus + M2 I was hoping for the first of this month but that has come and gone , so now I'm hoping for the 15th of this month but I struggle to find clear answers here or on the Slack.
It would be nice if they made it a little more clear whats coming up this month.

[Golftech]

its cheap again since btc is really moving up and almost all the coins are moving down, I'm just hoping to see some good updates from the dev since the downfall happen so fast and we seen so much green last night better to hold and wait for the price to rise up and bounce back even more.

Lots of features and ideas but its just speculation

About a week ago I bought FCT on Polo and send it to Trex and it hasn't shown up (yet). Is the network still down?
