Well, its proven that factom addy is directly linked to the bunch of addresses associated with july hack.

We even had people https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=76620 confirming the use of the same factom addy for sending dust to different accounts so as to affiliate them with 'early adopters' or 'supporters of emerging crypto technologies' https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990275.msg10945892#msg10945892.

This means that addresses that ever received dust from factom addy https://blockchain.info/address/1FactomGnNFTsTVx8jiGjcLKDpyL65GDsH are marked as early adopters.

Here is one of the hackers addresses: https://blockchain.info/address/1DqCNwUffFTxULH8crehynw53TwrHnrv1c and a transaction that links factom vanity address and recipient's addy
https://blockchain.info/tx/b6e2d9e639b1bb70bda4de160531d7f0cacca8f842edcedab9f945b76faf0d56 on april, 2.

This would imply factom faggots and this fellow https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidajohnston would be involved in cooperation with ppl linked to hacker`s addresses.

Whoever controls these addresses https://blockchain.info/tx/c7b46a79fd8887038bd3a8e884b04820038415a60e0b9d2c2f5bcff68a2687bf they're recognized as early adopters or supporters of factom foundation and could even be among backers of their ico. Or they themselves could work at factom.

Don't be that naive. Factom used this method to get some attention and if you do the math, you will see:

Approximately 31 BTC / 0.0005 BTC = 62,000 "Dust-transactions". Even friends of mine got a little surprise from Factom without having connections to Factom or being invested.

And no, to be recognized as supporter of blockchain-technologies (because somebody obviously has a Bitcoin-address) doesn't mean what you would like to imply with: "recognized as early adopters or supporters of factom foundation and could even be among backers of their ico. Or they themselves could work at factom."

Or do you believe Factom recognized early adopters of Factom by sending 0.0005 BTC to approx. 65,000 random addresses?

That's ridiculous.

And again: They didn't say that. Johnston said:

"The reason the Factom team sent these bitcoins out is to recognize you as an early adopter / supporter of new blockchain technology projects. (Your address was among many on the bitcoin ledger who previous supported other community projects)

We hope you will check out the Factom Software Sale and use this bit of bitcoin to claim your first Factoid(s) and thus be able to join our community as a beta tester / early adopter. "

He also said:

"If you aren't interested, that's cool just keep the BTC as a small tip for being an active part of the community."

It's called advertising. ;-)

With the venerable Paul Johnson at the helm. HAHAHA

I'm not sure what you wanna say and without any arguments for the funny implication above, it's unfortunately OT to discuss Factom here.

But, if you would like, join the Factom-thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=850070.0
