However, there was substantial concern about having two non-fungible tokens causing user confusion (imagine if someone purchased an Omni Factoid on an exchange and tried to withdraw it to their Counter Wallet, or vice-versa…. eek! Think of the users!). 

The solution was to go the Ethereum-style route (and actually use the Ethereum crowdsale code) to generate new wallets of factoids that would work on the Factom network directly.  No proxy token.  Everyone was in favor of this option.
