1. Conversion 1:1 : Great!
2. Changing the name: I would be careful with this
3. Could they have started a new coin with a completely new distribution? No and they know it well. The reputation matters.

Hmm. First, your new plan seems marginally better than your old plan. However, changing the fundamental characteristics of the distribution at all just seems shifty.
You seem to contradict yourself. If you really believe this is a launch of a new coin (with the old coin maybe still continuing) then why are you complaining about changing the fundamental characteristics? Changing of something which continues to exist unchanged? Stick to your sys1 coins if you want to keep the same "fundamental characteristics". You (same as everybody else) are free to go on with the development of the old sys blockchain.
In my opinion it is a good thing if developers
1) own a stake in their coin
2) have money enough for continued development
The transition from Sys 1 to Sys 2 is big enough to justify some changes in the design.

Hello everybody,
Im trying to download from https://github.com/syscoin/syscoin/releases/download/1.5.1.1/Syscoin_v1.5.1.1.zip but my AV reports Win32:malware-gen. Could be a false alarm?
thanks

That's a false alarm, the miner is sometimes reported as this but its safe.
OK thanks!

The Sys Slack invite on the op returns the following message:

Failed! token_revoked
That's odd the API token must have expired or something, I'll fix this tonight. if you want to PM me your email I'll manually send you an invite.
Thanks - now resolved

I wouldn't rebrand lightly due to the confusion that will occur, e.g. "What happened to Syscoin?". There is also a crypto out there known as Agoras Tokens. I personally wouldn't complicate the impending release at this time.

I was actually looking at the bigger picture, like online markets/stores in general like Ebay, auctoin sites, online warehouses where you use fiat currency. For Average Joe there is not much reason to flock to uᴉoɔʇᴉq yet in terms of trading goods, besides purse.io and a few individual merchants. Maybe decentralized markets such as Syscoin, OpenBazaar and BitBay could change this. But that's way ahead in the future. For me, cryptoland's initial reaction will tell much about the future of decentralized markets.
I'm also wondering why you are sticking with the name Syscoin? If the main feature is a decentralized market, it would sound more logical to me to rebrand Syscoin to something more familiar like Marketcoin, Bitmarket, Plazacoin or maybe Agora?

This is something we heavily debated internally, and are still discussing actually. Because Syscoin will likely have other features beyond just the marketplace (assets, prediction markets both possible) choosing a brand name that is solely related to the marketplace function could artificially limit Syscoin's value. As such we'd want to choose a new name that doesn't have "coin" or "cash" in it but is a more general platform brand. I like Agora, i mean i know its still limiting in that its greek for marketplace but i like how its not as direct as "marketcoin" etc.
The problem with Agora is that its also the name of a darkmarket, and we don't want to lead with that. This branding thing is still a topic of discussion. Interested to hear what the community think on this topic- if we were to rebrand the time to do it would be this upcoming 2.0 launch. If we choose to rebrand it would also incur come additional work as we'd need to update all our materials accoringly, which would delay the 2.0 launch - something we're trying to avoid.

opinion:i want to use these wikis xplanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agora http://www.stoa.org/athens/sites/agora.html and info for the word AGORA for u to anderstand that the principles of this name have a lot more power, intrinsic value and a lot more aristocratic roots then a dark market.
But this is my opinion.....

Seems like the platform is great, I hope it goes mainstream, does Sys team think it's perhaps a good idea to try to partnership with some big names (E-Bay, Amazon, MS) ?

...there is some real economy uᴉoɔʇᴉq killer app stuff going on.
I hate to be a negative nelly, but what, exactly, are you referring to here?

Cool. I must have missed something. What is it? Precisely, I mean?
This video made me a long-term believer in Syscoin;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtobhjssZJ8
But I got to admit, there might be some competition in this niche. It's however a great opportunity, not a guaranteed homerun. I mean having one great platform that actually works is one thing, but how to get as many users as possible within a competetive market?

2 billion were not needed especially for a service based coin.
I understand that, and I like sys2 direction a lot. I just hope the coin supply change doesn't generate negative blow-back perceptions in the future.

I don't think people realise yet what's going on here lol Long term supply is cut in two! Meaning, the long term value of this coin has suddenly doubled. On top of that there is some real economy u\u1d09o\u0254\u0287\u1d09q killer app stuff going on. Tired of hearing the same buzzwords (marketplace, decentralized assets etc.) but these guys seem to actually make it happen.

Tired of hearing the same buzzwords (marketplace, decentralized assets etc.) but these guys seem to actually make it happen. I know it goes in my favor as a long term bag holder of sys, but I'm still uncomfortable with changing coin parameters mid-stream. How will it look to potential investors in the future? I never bought into dark/Dish once I realised the backstory and all it implied, even though the idea of masternodes was ok ... a bad look can kill a coin .... but I still doubled all my asks just now, so I'm part of this decision now too.
That isn't a convincing argument imo. uᴉoɔʇᴉq has 21M coins, but with 8 decimal places the 'million' in the coin supply doesn't really mean millions does it? It's just a number, and the value for 1 satoshi is all that matters to end users. uᴉoɔʇᴉq would be the same with 210,000,000,000 coins and 4 decimal places (afaik). BUT, changing from 21 M with 8 places to anything else after the launch would matter. It looks bad, and was unnecessary ... millions, billions, trillions ... uᴉoɔʇᴉq can handle them all with 21M and 8 decimals, and so too could syscoin
edit: 'Yea we could have started a new project and not sharedropped on sys1 but i doubt you would like that as much' - if you did this would anyone trust you or your team ever again?
edit2: to answer you, I would not like it, as it would mean you would have scammed me as a sys1 investor

Hello everybody,

That's a false alarm, the miner is sometimes reported as this but its safe.
I note there is still no answer to the question of whether the exchanges will be stealing our 'old-SYS' coins at the point in time we are granted an equal number of Syscoin 2.0. Inadvertent omission? Not known? Inconvenient to answer truthfully?
If you want your old-Sys you transfer them out of the exchanges prior to the snapshot. If you don't care and just want to convert your old-Sys to Sys2 as 1:1 and want exchanges to convert for you, you can leave them on exchange and the wallet.dat will be replaced (old-Sys keys most likely lost forever).
Well, it's an answer. Thanks.
Though it seems a bit naiive. You really don't think the exchange operators will be pocketing the 'old-SYS' on the off chance it may have some future value?
We'll be communicating all of this to investors in a blog post shortly along with the final launch date. From there its their, as @sidhujag said, its up to them.
Syscoin 2.0 Final Coin Specs[/b] - http://syscoin.org/syscoin-2-0-final-coin-parameters/
From the release:
Quote
In order to ensure proper funding for the continued development of Syscoin 2.0, the team will be allocating 15 million Syscoin for future development. These funds will be allocated from the mining schedule immediately upon launch of the new platform.
Other than announcing the insiders will be getting 15M coins, this statement is content-free. What is the exact schedule of disbursement? Will 15M new coins (of the eventual 900M) just poof into existence at the time Syscoin 2.0 goes live? Will they be in address(es) controlled solely by insiders (i.e. 'the team')? Who are these insiders?
I understand that development requires effort, and effort expects renumeration. But if "The Dev funds will not be vested" is an answer to my specific questions, then I am not understanding it. Let's try again:
1) What is the exact schedule of disbursement?
2) Will 15M new coins (of the eventual 900M) just poof into existence at the time Syscoin 2.0 goes live?
3) Will they be in address(es) controlled solely by insiders (i.e. 'the team')?
4) Who are these insiders?
1. As developers we've hired complete work, they'll be paid accordingly. These funds will also go towards hosting costs, marketing costs, misc. bounties, and expenses (we are trying to speak at conferences this year).
2. As stated in the blog this is being allocated at launch of sys2 similar to a premine.
3. The team will control the development funds, just as we did with the initial fund which we made last 2 years at a rate of 1-400 satoshi.
4. They are any and all of the people who are working to build value in Syscoin for current and future investors, merchants and consumers.
Additionally the fund address will be made public. Its balance/payouts will be visible on the blockchain. Identical to the initial dev fund.
