Factom has never really been one for promoting their achievements. It's a shame, in the old days it did not matter much since there was a relatively small group of people trading crypto and not 1000's of projects to keep up with, everyone was more in the know. These days you really need to actively promote to get noticed, hopefully Factom will realise this someday.

Well said here, factom was once in the top ten in market cap but it was back in like 2015 when big ICOs were not really possible. People have to dig really deep to find factom, I would say most new money that came in 2017 dont have any awareness of factom.

Factom has been created 4 years ago. It has addressed all the issues the blockchain faced before everyone else: stable coin for the final user, savings in energy, scalability, data oriented structure, implemented SegWit even before it was called this name...
It is business and service oriented. If the blockchain has to change the way we do business, the way we live... Factom is likely to be part of it

Hello everybody. Everyone of course remembers the project, as you can forget. News I think will be in the very near future. I wish success to all.

Very interesting and well written blog post by Courtney Roberts – Digital Communications Manager at Factom:



Not all Blockchains are created equal: the Factom difference


(...)

In particular, there are a few main things that makes our technology unique:

• Scalability: We are not limited by a certain number of transactions per second. Our blockchain is built to handle high transaction volumes with ease.
  
• Predictable cost: Our two token system means the transaction cost to write entries to the blockchain is fixed. In other words, Factoids do not buy entries into the blockchain as they would in typical cryptocurrency models. Rather, Factoids are burned to create Entry Credits, which purchase fixed amounts of data in Factom. The price of Entry Credits are fixed, so the cost of entry is predictable and not dependent on the fluctuating price of a coin.
  Unlike a cryptocurrency, Entry Credits are non-transferable, and can be treated as a product instead of a currency. This is great for institutions who choose not to use cryptocurrency. The cost to use the system is based on usage, independent of the Factoid exchange rate.
  
• Speed and complexity: Our blockchain is built to handle data in complex formats. Through the use of chain IDs and the ability to create highly organized public, private or hybrid blockchains, our blockchain can fit your data - your data doesn’t have to exist in a certain format to be benefitted by our blockchain solution. Another way we do this is by publishing just the hash of a particular data set (along with its corresponding metadata), proving only its complete existence at a specific time. In doing this, we don’t add extra unnecessary data to clog up the blockchain, which in turn allows the network to run faster.
  Specifically with those wishing to do large volumes of transactions, Factom also has a theme tracking capability called Chain IDs. Linking related pieces of a data together allows you to chain together data you care about and forget the rest of the data set, no matter when the distributed data was entered. Unlike the Bitcoin Blockchain that requires you to download all of the data you entered over time to prove any of the data, Factom allows you to prove your data set without needing every one of your data entries in Factom. You can simply recall the data you want with a Chain ID.

• Factom is a public blockchain, you do not need any permission to write data to the public Factom Blockchain. If you are worried about private data being private, Factom Harmony can provide a private blockchain that then anchors into the public Factom Blockchain, for true decentralization. The information anchored in public view is done so with a hash that only the key holders know how to read. Because of these unique attributes, the Factom Blockchain Solution supports the real world in that business conditions are never static.

Many projects might not survive the bear market, but Factom is something to consider for the long term, keeping data in check, nothing but the fact

[bitChipper]

Price and sentiment is still near all time lows, the despair and outcry from bagholders is really showing. Reddit post pointing out spelling and grammar errors suggesting that its because of these errors that the price is so low really reflects how people are feeling....

grim times but it will get better and people will praise factom again

I would like people from this channel to understand what is coming from Factom. You have been excited about coins with no real usage. Let's see real use cases from Factom. Sensor integration with Blockchain is a massive market.

[GlobalProtection]

Please show me the complete list of customers that FACTOM now has.

PLEASE, IF ANYONE CAN SHOW ME AT LEAST SEVERAL OF THEM I WOULD APPRECIATE IT HIGHLY.

The proof is in the pudding, and the amount of true users is the proof I can use to invest with confidence.

Thank you

Here some info as to why Factom does not announce their partnerships anymore:

But they currently have a partnership with the Gates foundation, 2 ongoing projects with the Department of Homeland Security and there are a lot more if you search around some more.

The staff should look for more exchange to add in their portfolio, it is very little liquid being in a few exchange.
A company that wants to buy tokens to experience, does not have many places to choose.

Blockchain record-tracking company Factom is taking a $6 million investment from an investment firm that’s traded on a submarket of the London Stock Exchange (LSE), reports Xconomy (FinTech Fututes’ sister publication).

what a shitcoin dump to 50k sat. 32 month low. 96% down since ath. holy the king of shitcoin. factom!

what a shitcoin dump to 50k sat. 32 month low. 96% down since ath. holy the king of shitcoin. factom!

The ATH was ridiculous high. The same is true for thousands of other projects as well. It's never smart to focus on the Highs as reference.

And Factom isn't the only project that lost a lot recently. But at least, Factom has some good news and is on a way to become used in the real world, not just as a Pump and Dump:
