Nice to see you back. If you have time, could you drop a link to a page that explains what hashing the Factom system uses once an Entry Credit is used? Is it SHA-256 or something else? Thanks.

From 23 min on is key. Factom is gonna kill it. Wow...

Nice talk!

Ah, ok. Now I understand.

Entry Credits have a fixed price: $0.001

The value of Factoids is variable and fluctuates, so it's always also about the current FCT-price.

At this moment:

10 FCT = 10 * 0.002114 (price now) * 678 (BTC-price now) = $14.33

14.33 / 0.001 (EC-price) = 14,330 EC's (would you get for 10 FCT at this moment)


But for most customers (companies) most likely the best/usual way wouldn't be to buy FCT to buy EC's, but to buy Entry Credits directly with Dollar in an Entry Credit Store (of Factom for example). The Company/Customer knows how many EC's they want, they order it and the system  sends an amount of Factoids to their EC-Address that is proportional to the EC-supply they want.

Maybe that sounds a little bit complicated, but the thing is: It's not complicated for a potential customer who doesn't even need to know about the FCT--> EC - conversion. For them it's just an order and they don't need to use any kind of Cryptocurrency.


*******************

It's possible that this design could change, because there are (or were - not sure) also scenarios that would be similar to "gold-fixing". The federated server would set a price for Entry Credits. Their incentive would be the focus on the value of Factoids which would increase if most-possible Factoids are converted. And that's a very interesting concept because: If they would set the price to high, the use of the system would decrease and less Factoids would be "burned". If they set it too low, the use of the system would increase while the burning rate also wouldn't be perfect (as high as possible).

And their incentive to find the best potential price would be high, because they are paid with Factoids. That's why I believe it's kind of a great idea. But: I'm not sure if a company that exactly knows how many EC's they need per month would like to handle with changing prices. And: For different customers it would basically make sense to have different prices. If I just want to use Factom for 10 photos and 10 documents per year even $0.1 wouldn't be much = $2. If Dropbox would want to record all uploads into Factom even $ 0.001 would be a lot = Millions of Dollar per month.

With that said: I don't know what exactly is Factoms plan for the future and if the price will stay at the fixed rate or if they realize the "EC-price-fixing" and if yes, how. But I'm sure that there is a potential solution which would be most perfect. It's just important in my opinion that it also will be about high demand and low demand of a potential customer.

read the whitepaper.

Thanks for you trying to help but your did misunderstand me. This link i already read and its not what i am looking for

In Core my question is this: If i buy Entry credits for 10 factoms how is then the decision made how many EC's i do get Is it a "fixed rate" like for 10 Factoms you always get 10000 credits or how is the mechanism to determine how many EC's one factom is worth?

Would be cool if the Factom elections came about around the same time as the USA elections! Exciting times...

I assume you are trying to move factoids, not make entries.  It should take a maximum of 10 minutes.  which program are you using to build the transaction walletapp or fctwallet?

There s no doubt M2 will be ready soon. However, I do not think they ll publish it before halving cause now BTC is under spotlights and they do not want it to to steal their light.
BTC will probably keep rising in the next 2 weeks, due to halving. If this happens, FCT will continue going down and we ll see another dump. After the halving, we might see reverse of the trend.

There re no fundamentals behind my thinking, this is just common logic. However, I ve been wrong before so do your own math. For now, it seems FCT seems to be following my line of thought, down 15% compared to yesterday and BTC went up about the same %.
