Re: I am Paul Snow, the architect of Factom and chair of the Texas Bitcoin Conference. Ask me Anything!

RE: 32. Good point. Must have been a mistype. Are you concerned that the Factom chain has no work securing it? What happens if the chain is compromised between bitcoin's block times? Say the 32 federation servers, which haven't been making any money, end up being compromised for a trivial fee. How w...

What are the incentives to running a factom server? How many factoids are being consumed per day right now, and what's the USD value of those factoids? How many servers are on the factom network being supported by these factoids?

Re: I am Paul Snow, the architect of Factom and chair of the Texas Bitcoin Conference. Ask me Anything!

So I've heard that Factom is pivoting from the sale of checksums to "Blockchain consulting'. At the top of this thread - you announced Factom as "a scalable way to secure meta protocols and private chains". When did you decide to pivot, why, and what's the plan now?

Re: Im Juan Garavaglia, Rootstock.io Ask Me Anything!

Where can I read more information on how value is transferred into Rootstock from bitcoin. It appears that you intend to use Sidechains, but as best that I can tell - right now your options would require that a group of trusted signers sign value in and out of the bitcoin blockchain. Is that true fo...
