There's something very strange going on with the exchanges here. There is no reason for integrating Factoids to take so much longer than integrating other fresh code base "coins".
Nothing strange. The last release exposes more granular transaction data through the API calls. As someone that has integrated factoid already, this update is very appreciated. It also makes integration easier. That may be the holdup. We do not have to handle 1000 users at any given time so we can make allowances. Exchanges may may be waiting on the data that is now easily available.
If you are looking to acquire some factoid before they make it to the exchanges, PM me. We have a service that does that.
10x spread on your "exchange"?
We are not an exchange. To me an exchange is a public order book or a dollar to bitcoin service. We have a two party trade between our user and us. That is not a public price spread. That is our price spread. The reason there is such a spread is that we have a bunch at the moment so we are not as motivated to buy as we were last week when our buy price was as high as 0.003. We do not expect someone to sell at 0.0005. That is less than the crowdsale price. When we sell some Factoid, our buy and sell price will go up. But, if someone does want to unload at 0.0005 we are certainly willing to buy them.
Exchange used to be in our name. We changed it to Services to avoid that confusion. Plus, we are aiming to be someone that helps people bring their projects to the market. Building our site we have spent a lot of time talking to regulators (mostly state level in US) , integrating with exchanges for price discovery, wallet automation and (formal or informal) input on projects going on in the area. Services fits our mission better now.
