if the marketcap stays the same, or keeps on dropping, then I assume one "tentative" day in "March", I will look at my polo wallet to find 1300 coins at like 20 cents a piece, effectively reducing my investment by 60 percent - in theory.
Could you explain the theory behind this reasoning, I'm very sorry, I do not understand it. The marketcap will only reduce if people decide to value it that way, that's all speculation, it could go up, or could go down.

Like an in-app craigslist from 2002. Next to cometitors, its gui design is... lacking.
Sure, we agree, this is just the beta phase, we are looking to test the functionality first, the design will come later. Either way, the Syscoin marketplace is meant to be much more than a wallet; with plugins any store will be able to easily integrate the Syscoin blockchain into their business. Our vision is much bigger than a decentralized marketplace, hence the motto "Business on the Blockchain". Bringing competition in the ring, I assume you are speaking of OB..
If that's not enough for you, how does needing to keep a node on 24/7 to actively sell your products sound?
Has the data storage been tested?
Absolutely! via certificates, our goal is not to provide heavy-duty data storage, this would in effect bloat the blockchain and is not advisable. Certificates is a storage of a small amount, they can be created, transferred, bought and resold; all with an escrow system.
As we creep into March with tentatives, the sys holders who have essentially paid for development"
No one is paying for development, this is all done on our own free time, without profit, you can join us in development via github as this is a fully open-source project. I personally have been investing many hours a day for the last two years because I believe in this movement. Purchasing Syscoin is not paying for development, although we have a good stake in Syscoin individually as team members, which is obviously an incentive for us to want to make this project work.
Yes! Thanks for pointing that out, that's our press release that we send to the media.
