Team notes March 6, 2016
Syscoin 2.0 Public Beta• Most bugs reported with Syscoin 2.0 Public Beta v1 have been fixed. 10+ bugs fixed this week.
• Team is internally testing Public Beta v2 to verify bug fixes prior to rolling this out to larger public audience
• Additional bugfixes being implemented while team internally tests current fixes
• Discussing partnerships inside the merchant space and outside the merchant space more targeted at exposing the Syscoin 2.0 platform to a wider audience and enabling larger use cases.
• Team now running 2 testnets- 1 internal and 1 public beta
• Price pegging script about to be turned on public testnet so entire ecosystem will now be under test.
• Working on additional updates to wallet GUI/graphics to make experience better for users and also improve display at lower resolutions
• Planning Blockmarket 2.0 improvements which will begin immediately following the completion of the peg-script rollout, looking to enable Blockmarket as a full 1-click ecommerce solution so users don't even need to interface with the QT wallet.
• eBay/Etsy integration will come after Blockmarket is updated, and once they are developed we'll move to larger-scale ecommerce plugins such as Magento, Shopify et al.
Marketing/Communication• Sorting through 45+ merchant inquiries from merchant portal site- reaching out to legitimate merchants to begin process of preparing inventory for mainnet quick-setup and incentivized listings
• Discussing press releases and marketing plans as we get closer to mainnet release. Speaking with some possible PR agencies- waiting for some feedback before we can set a hard internal budget.
• Reaching out to apps on iOS and Android app stores - have reached out to several for possible inclusion in upcoming releases or updates that include SYS as a currency.
• Fixed some incorrect information and links on main website
• Updating graphics to be accurate within the context of Syscoin 2.0 as many new services have been added and existing services have changed
• FAQ being updated to cover gaps from initial beta launch
• Completing interview from blog interested in more info on SYS 2.0, article should be public soon
• Outreach to existing exchanges is complete, miners are ready to go whenever- they just want to know the block, still finalizing w existing service partners and payment processors.
•Outreach to new exchanges and services is ongoing- some have already replied and confirmed SYS 2.0 will be added on launch, others we're still waiting for replies.
• Working to source a contact that speaks Chinese natively for interfacing with both Chinese investors and current and existing Chinese exchanges and service partners.
• Team will start marketing SYS more on Twitter/Trollbox and BCT to those interested in crypto technologies that may be similar to Syscoin 2.0 and providing them with the information they need to make a proper investment decision.
