is there estimate date for MS2 ?

Just a small rebound or a beginning of a trend?

Nice price rising today on Poloniex

I would certainly advice to sandbox it first (and use a good antivirus).

Really? A referral link?

Pls remove the link, it is not allowed to post ref links in the body text.

Not to mention the website looks fishy big time. No data about people behind it or anything. I assume this project has never had any contact with Factom devs?

A new multi-currency web + android wallet with Factom and 12 other coins support is on the block. Instant conversion between coins in the wallet and sending to another member. Looks promising and free us from command-line Factom wallet management . Check it out if interested: https://bit.ac/?ref=5711c2f39fed2.

Very interesting (also about Honduras!):

In the afternoon Factom, led by CEO Peter Kirby, described the working and intentions behind providing an unalterable record keeping system. Fundamentally, Kirby declared, Factom lets people prove data bits that have been recorded have not been altered since they were entered to Factom. Factom is a data layer that sits on top of the bitcoin blockchain and links into other prominent blockchains, such as Ethereum, and can publish hashes to provide unalterable and irremovable proof of existence.

Another issue that Factom is trying to solve is the problem of scalability, not only with carrying out a large number of transactions but also with locating specific data within the multitude of blocks. To achieve this and other goals, Factom are releasing different solutions, such as Factom Iris and Factom Hera. Iris gives the ability to build chains of data, allowing users to find data, and also allows users to comply with KYC, with identities able to be tracked over time. Kirby described that the next steps in this area was to allow the synchronising of multiple devices on one system of authority. In the future having sensors for devices which could automatically register data, whether pictures or records, instantly on Factom to provide immutable facts as and when they happen was noted as being a desirable achievement. On the other hand, Factom Hera is being designed as a private blockchain tool for massive scaling, on an Internet of Things city scale.

Next was a look at some use cases with Factom Apollo, a real-time auditing and verification tool which has been used to improve areas such as mortgage transfer. Here Kirby also confirmed that the Honduras project, where Factom aims to secure land title records, had progressed further after the project had been reported as being delayed at the end of last year. Currently being trialled in a few cities, it is hoped that it will be completed this year.

The choices behind some of Factom’s funding decisions were also explained. By using factoids as a cryptocurrency to purchase credits, Factom hopes to remove the desire for hackers and attacks to target them as, when converted into entry credits, there is no ability to exchange credits back to factoids or other Cryptocurrency. The only benefit a hacker would gain would be the ability to write on Factom, not monetary gain. The decision to require payment before writing was also taken to reduce the chance of people submitting spam or carrying out DDOS attacks.

Overall, the Blockchain Tech Lab had an overwhelmingly positive outlook for blockchain technology and attendees were excited to find out the many possibilities that were available and being developed.

This video is not really about Factom but about Ethereum and it's really interesting:

...but I think there is a funny combination: After explaining the experience with Ethereum, that was not really good, there comes Factom-advertising (at 5:03). And they're obviously convinced about Factom! ;-)

Great Video:

But regulators *do* suck! 

Factom is on BIT.AC:

Could someone please communicate to Peter Kirby that it's not a good idea for the CEO of a company to state, "Our regulators suck" in a widely public medium?

Factom executives are going to need to be much more sophisticated if they are to successfully traverse an immature regulatory environment in a beneficial manner.

Thank you.

Milestone 2 now about how kind?
