Look, the dev's priorities have already been decided, nothing we can do. Instead of bitching about the current state of sys, why not contribute to it moving forward. We're obviously working up a pretty nice bounty to get a decentralized app for the decentralized marketplace. You could contribute here by pledging or coding, or you could get creative in other ways.
Its pretty clear the devs arent taking much action (dev wise) until they get their funds. We want action sooner? Then its on us. I cried once, nothing to show for it, i started the bounty for the app, its over triple the size i started it at. See the difference?
Yeah, this is definitely good idea but it also shows the Main problem of this coin - community needs to take action for the devs because they refuse to work until they get their BTC back.
Please read the information already out there. We have been working on the Block Market we posted this some 5 days ago via the block along with other items which are on our agenda. http://syscoin.org/syscoin-0-1-5-production-release-product-development-galore-and-more/
To save linking to the above, i'll paste the information here so it can be quoted and more spread within the thread:
Syscoin 0.1.5 RC4 – Officially promoted to production release. Syscoin 0.1.5 is now our official wallet, it has been updated on the website and everywhere else. You can get the latest version here. It officially includes Alias interfaces although we are still working on documentation for everything. Please remember it takes 120 blocks from when you “purchase” an alias for the activation of that alias to the “confirmed” – this is normal. This release removes any lingering dependencies on any Moolah infrastructure and also fixes a number of bugs and performance issues.
Blockmarket – A wide variety of DNM (Dark Net Markets) were taken down recently. Some of these markets were selling illegal goods and merited takedown but others were just selling items that certain powerful entities didn’t agree with… Syscoin’s decentralized marketplace technology enables fully decentralized marketplaces. This is already working at a console level and Blockmarket is the team’s official initiative to put a user-friendly front end on the service. Expect a working beta within the month.
SysPricePeg – A utility that allows you to list Syscoin Marketplace offers in any currency of your choice (crypto OR fiat) and then will automatically convert the value to the equivalent amount of SYS at time of sale. This will allow you to list items on the Syscoin Marketplace for $5USD if you so choose, and then as various exchange rates fluctuate you can be assured your sale will always result in $5USD of SYS at the time of sale. Expect this tool to be released with the month as well and it is highly configurable.
SYYK – A proof-of-concept app created by JohnDorien from the team exploring using the Syscoin data services to store/send/manage messages on the blockchain. This is currently in proof-of-concept phase but if users find this valuable we will add an official “social” service to Syscoin that enables this type of functionality via its own dedicated (and more affordable) service. Take a moment to play with the proof of concept and provide us some feedback!
First User-Created Marketplace Website – A crafty developer rolled up their sleeves and dug into the Syscoin API and created their OWN marketplace front end on top of the Syscoin Marketplace service. This is still in alpha and @Sphericon is looking for feedback on it and ways he can improve it so check it out or help with the code – http://syscoin.org/board/discussion/85/syscoin-market-hosted-take-a-look.
New Wallet (0.1.6) – We’ve started working on our new wallet, which is being recreated from scratch from the ground up! It will have many features that people were looking for in the initial wallet. We’ve heard your requests!
Roadmap Update – We know the current roadmap is out-of-date and has been since the Moolah litigation started. We will be updated the roadmap later tonight so everyone has a clear picture of the path forward. Apologies for the delay on updating this.
Doxbin Data – Doxbin was a darknet site that stored personal information on a number of individuals who’d rather not be exposed. It was recently taken down (then brought back up!). Doxbin houses a wealth of sensitive data in a centralized manner and if lost, could be lost for good. We are interested in reaching out to Doxbin about possibly storing their data using the Syscoin Data service, encrypting their entire datastore and storing it on the Syscoin Blockchain so it could never be taken down, never be deleted or lost.
We know the legal stuff is a kick in the face, but we wont be stopped by it. Pushed back a little, yes fair enough - who wouldn't be? Development has not stopped, i assure you that. There are people thinking we are simply waiting for the funds to come back to us before we continue work on Syscoin, that would be a piss take if we did that not only to ourselves but also to the investors and the community,
The Syscoin Community has only become stronger than ever due to all the legal stuff in the past couple of months and you guys really are doing a sterling job of banding together, I promote the work to create a community based markerplace that's what Syscoin is all about, get pushing with your own projects we'll throw Syscoin into the bounty too! I'll head over to Reddit some point today to add a contribution to it.
