Ancun usage still rising, from less than 1k to almost 50k+ in a few days; we could see a big uptick in usage from prior china MOUs into Q4


Oh wow! That's really great. It's a first sign for that what I believe will happen in big in future. Until now I believe that most if it is testing. But it seems that this could be more than that.

If Factom will work how planned - and I really have no rational doubt - we'll see an explosion of entries. And that will be an ongoing buy-signal like increasing prices. But contrary to prices Entries won't go back down. In best case Factom can grow and grow for years. If that should happen nobody will know when to sell.

August 13 it's closed. On the following Monday should be huge.


seems Factom is already in investors radar
with a user friendly wallet Factom will be huge.

yes, hopefully once M2 is released, they will get a user-friendly, sleek, minimalist wallet out. 

With another exchange hacked today, no other choice but to move your factoids to paper wallet ...

Papermill doesn´t work for me. A windows pops up for a second and that´s it. I used the tutorial ( it only says "double click " so i don´t think i did a mistake by try )

EDIT:

Got it. You have to use the command line !

perfect! Smiley

I had the same problem, but this was a solution for me (from Brian Deery):

"yah, sorry about that. when you doubleclick on the program it opens a terminal window, generates a keypair then finishes and closes. We are very terminal oriented here at factom, doing development in linux, etc.
to use it, open a command prompt, navigate to where you saved the program, then run factoidpapermill.exe It will show the keys without exiting then."

You can just drag and drop factoidpapermill.exe into the command-line. At least that works for me.

I'm not a big fan of technical-chart-analysis but this is at least a better one:

I would add this to start with Factom:

It's from early 2015 but a good one to start with to understand Factom and the vision behind.

One of the best interviews in my opinion.

Some questions:

- Where can i find my private key and or wallet.dat?
- How can i decrypt my wallet?

I'm not sure honestly how to backup the wallet. Never did it because I just use it to import a private key and make a transaction. I don't store Factoids with it. For now it's not possible to decrypt it.

But it's possible to be on the safe side with the combination of the Wallet and the papermill.

What I do is:

1. Generating addresses on an offline computer--> papermill
2. I send FCT's I want to store in longterm (from the wallet or an exchange) to those addresses
3. Wallet for importing private keys if needed

But they've said that there will be a improved wallet in future. Not sure if after M2 or M3.

Can someone explain what i'm doing wrong?

Trying to test importing private key, before I send all my factoids to paper wallet.

Created a few addresses via the papermill
https://www.factom.com/howto/factoidpapermill/

Sent 1 Factoid to address and it shows up in explorer fine:
http://explorer.factom.org/address/FA2HguWxE28JQKttvFaYnST2GnNqEqiZCzePJFGBfWDhmgW1VLYL

But when I launch GUI and import the private key, it shows a balance of 0?



Never mind, I guess the blockchain hadn't synced yet ... now shows the balance of 1 Smiley

Read as much as I could before I invest imo this token is heavily undervalued and looks unnaturally bear marked for quite a stretch of time. I think the value in fct is quite high.

Wow great news  Grin
Factom is getting SMART CONTRACTS  Shocked
HOOOORAY  Roll Eyes
https://www.factom.com/smartcontract-factom-announce-collaboration/

That's absolutely mind-blowing: not the smart-contract thingie, but the trusted oracle. Auditable, trustworthy financial data: just think of what that could do for binary options!

Can you elaborate please?

Binary options are bets on financial instruments. Let's say I'm a gold bull and want to bet that gold will be above US$1,350 as of 5 PM ET next Tuesday. I can buy a "binary option" which essentially is a bet on gold being >$1,350 at 5PM ET August 2nd, 2016. If gold isn't above that level, I lose my bet. But if it is, I win the bet.

The way a binary option differs from a regular bet is the payoff amount. With a regular bet, I win the fixed bet amount. But with a binary option, I'd win the difference between the real price and my bet price. Example: if gold closed at $1,352.5 at that time, I'd win $2.50.

The binary option sector is a) huge b) widely regarded as scammy. Factom's financial-data Trusted Oracle could help clean up the industry or at least take away the smell to it.
