favorite quote! I'd like to do some testing and help build this project - I've fully supported it from the beginning and I think the recent funding success state a clear want AND need for this to happen.

What if the company never IPOs and is neither sold in a private transaction?

no, you cannot trade equity in Factom Inc. because it is private equity. aka completely illiquid until after an IPO.

Not yet, they are in the release candidate one phase, once it gets to beta stage then you will be able to trade them.

How can I trade equity of Factom Inc.?

Here is the link to the post about release candidate one. All the coding is done from end to end. The code is currently under a "freeze", meaning no new features, only bug fixes are being accepting between now and reaching milestone 1 / launch of the live beta.

You and anyone else tech savvy are welcome to join the testing community of folks installing and trying out the functions of the Factom client, participating in the stress test and otherwise finding ways to make the software more robust. Just hit up BrianDeery1 on Skype if you want to be added to the testing group.

Here is the link to the install guide. https://github.com/FactomProject/FactomDocs/blob/master/communityTesterDirections.md

The Factom core developers are targeting next week for release candidate two. Presuming no major bugs are discovered in RC2 the Beta will come shortly after that.

That's about as close to a schedule as one can get. The goal is to have robust software that will work when the genesis block goes live at the launch of the Beta. Security is the top priority. Real value is at stake in this software and so the team is running a huge number of tests (currently more than 179 per day) in order to be confident Factom is stable and preforming as expected.

I hope that sets the schedule in context. Its all open source / open development so you are welcome to track the progress on Factom's Github repos.

At least I got a reply from the team
Do you have dates yet for the release?

Factoids are coming soon. We have been releasing regular updates on progress and will continue to do so.
The software is undergoing testing and we want to make sure it's stable enough before releasing.
See above for the latest updates and also check our GitHub if you want to get involved with testing.

The founding round is for Factom Inc. which is separate from the Factom Foundation.
Factom Inc. has been setup to help businesses who want to integrate our tech and expand user base.
It will be essential to drive demand for Factoids at the same time as more and more companies use Factom.

Also the funding round is not taking time away from our development efforts.

We appreciate the feedback, rest assured our developers and community testers are hard at work to deliver as soon as feasibly possible.

another crowd sale and we still waiting on factoids. bullshit.
 
maybe get one project done then move on to the next one?
just maybe

The Factom Inc. BnkToTheFuture syndication of shares with investors finishes tomorrow.

We thought it best to let it run the full 30 days.

Factom Inc. crowdsale is already over-funded, why don't you guys stop it, it's a little bit greedy.
