if u think its gona be a success u average down ur investment by buy now more
and this way increase ur earnings

but also increase the risc if its a failed project

Yes, it s obvious something s been cooking. The question s should I increase my stash more and if yes, how much.

Fcatom github is active every day https://github.com/FactomProject/

I patiently and eagerly await Milestone 2 news.

Factom this time on 20 place on Richtopia.com List of Top 100 Blockchain Companies by Influence.

Hah. In my country, around the cornet s got a different meaning. Maybe it s language barrier.

Do not hurry. The following year, the corner will be fine.

M2? Anything we could aim for? Next month?

> So I tried this and it is still auto-closing.  I've tried with and without my PIA vpn on

to be clear, open the windows cmd prompt.  it should be interactive.  you should be able to type "dir" and it will show a list of files.  Then type "factomd".  the cmd window should stay open even if factomd quits.  This will allow you to see the error messages.


> I noticed I don't have a factomd.conf file in the .factom folder.  Could this be my problem?  The terminal barks about this in the beginning.

It uses the internal config file if you don't provide one, so that is ok.  The config file is only useful if you are doing weird things.

> EDIT: Thought I would just add that within .factom, the ldb folder is only 112MB and the data folder 481MB

hmm, you might be using an old version which disconnects sporadically.  the data folder is more for debugging and generates thousands of tiny files.  the latest version doesn't make this folder by default.  try deleting the data directory too.  It can generate so many files that it exhausts your filesystem inodes.  The windows installer should show which version of factomd you are running.  another way to find the version is to run factomd, fctwallet, and then "factom-cli properties" all in different terminal windows.

>EDIT3: Looks like I am still missing a NONE.conf file?
>Also do I need to place an argument after factomd so it doesn't do this "initialize only" state?

Those are vestigial errors.  they do not mean anything.

Thanks for the link.  The install guide I don't think links to this.  Unfortunately my problems still remain.  It seems to quit on block 15182

It shuts down faster this time.

EDIT2: I made the factomd.conf file from the post above.  There are no errors now at the beginning but it still just shuts itself down @ 15182
What IP address should I change FactomAddress to?

EDIT3: Looks like I am still missing a NONE.conf file?
Also do I need to place an argument after factomd so it doesn't do this "initialize only" state?

Sorry for being dumb.  This is way more confusing than a regular qt wallet I am used to.

if you want to use fctwallet (no GUI) you can modify the line FactomdAddress in the factomd.conf file in the .factom directory to point to a public factom client.  I'd have to do some digging to find one right now.

Another option is to construct the transaction in walletapp and submit it anyways.  If you haven't moved the factoids in a while, then there would not have been any balance changes in the interim, so it wouldn't make any difference to walletapp.  I have not tested if submitting a transaction without having the whole blockchain works, but it might.  I give it a 75% chance it will work.  you will have to look at http://explorer.factom.org to see if the balance changes on-chain.

If it doesn't work, then you can build, sign and export the transaction in walletapp.  the current fees are 0.0078 if you have 1 input and 1 output, so the output should be less than the input by at least that much.  It will export text that looks like this:


you can PM this to me and I will broadcast it.  It has a 12 hour timeout though.

OK I'm on a metered connection at the moment.  What is the safest way to send FCT from my Factom address without downloading the blockchain?

It is about 1.8 GB now.

How large is the Factom blockchain at this point?

Wow!  I have been waiting to see this documentary since I heard about it from Econtalk. 

http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2015/11/michael_matheso.html

Maybe we can organize a screening here in Austin, since they seem to be interested in our project too.


In the same genre, I really liked Nina Monk's book "The Idealist".  Here is an interview with the author of the book:

Both are definitely worth listening to.

That is the default screen that it should show when it is downloading the blockchain.  to see the progress, open a new terminal window and type
it will show how many blocks have been downloaded.  When it has the same number as http://explorer.factom.org/ is showing, then you have the whole blockchain.


once you get the whole blockchain, click on the other desktop shortcut.  this will load walletapp, which opens a webpage to manage the wallet.

if it scrolls and closes, then it is displaying a message, then windows is closing the terminal.  try opening a terminal window from the run dialog.  then start factom with
this will keep the window open and you can see what it is complaining about.

All downloads are here: https://github.com/FactomProject/distribution. There are links to it on the guide you mentioned above.

I'm new to Factom.  Trying to set up the wallet and my factomd keeps shutting itself down.  Is that normal?

This is where it quits...
https://puu.sh/p0nVd/e21d015db0.png

It then scrolls something too fast for me to see before shutting down.  I don't think it can finish syncing the chain.

EDIT:

This is what I'm trying to follow (for windows)
https://www.factom.com/howto/binaries-install-guide/

It says download factom.msi but I couldn't find it on the site.  I had to google to find it here...  http://factom.org/downloads/

Maybe it is too old?  It says last updated 2-11-16

Good for you.

Look at the large buy order at the beginning of the graph and that huge dump at the end of the graph. So obvious and simple pump and dump.
