What is Fact0rn
- The FACT0RN blockchain uses factoring as its PoW instead of traditional methods.
- The challenge is to generate semiprimes (numbers with two prime factors) without knowing the factors in advance.
- Miners are rewarded for finding strong semiprimes by factoring them.
- The PoW problem is to find a nonce, offset, and the smallest prime factor of a semiprime that satisfies specific conditions.
- The smallest prime factor must be submitted to measure the work done for PoW.
- The blockchain introduces a "deadpool" where users can submit numbers to be factored by paying a fee.
- The reward for factoring is exponential in shape but limited to avoid excessive inflation.
- The design principles of the blockchain prioritize security, game theory, economics, and heuristics.
Overall, the FACT0RN blockchain aims to leverage factoring and incentivize miners and users to
contribute to the network while maintaining security and balancing economic factors.
Fact0rn vs Stoic
It's almost impossible to predict which cryptocurrency will eventually emerge as the leader.
There is no guarantee that In 5 years, FACT would still even exist. Another faster and cheaper blockchain might capture the majority of developers, users, and capital. Or some critical failure of FACT might derail its progress.
Because the probability of guessing the winner is low, it's better to use a portfolio approach and buy all possible contenders, including FACT.
Stoic builds a portfolio by using hedge fund-grade quantitative research and AI to build a portfolio of crypto assets.
The algorithm analyzes price data, returns, volatility, correlations, and other factors to identify coins that are likely to go up. It then rebalances the portfolio daily to cut losses early and take profits regularly. Stoic is a great alternative to researching coins and trading manually.
Over 12,000 people already use Stoic to automate their crypto investing.
