I guess most of user didnt like the market. Everybody sell their syscoins.
Yeh I liked the market so more cheap coins for me then,
This can easily grow to be the new silkroad 3.0 :p
In my opinion, and you can also sell more stuff ofcourse.
Maybe you should add like a 18+ section to the coin.
Where you can maybe have like a illegal stuff section so the kids wont see the crazy stuff
In general unless your browsing entire blockchaim through a web portal someone stood up the kids wont see that stuff. The idea is that the merchan creates his store and stands up a gui that only shows his offers
Remember, it's money/currency. And money in, and of itself, cannot be blamed for what is purchased with it. If someone makes an illegal deal using USD, the US Government can't be held responsible. By the same token, if someone uses the phone system to facilitate an illegal transaction, the phone system/company cannot be held responsible because the transaction was arranged over their lines.
This should be very interesting to watch as it unfolds....
Yeah it is not a good idea honestly I was joking earlier with the drop-ship listing comment. If drug listing started appearing and the marketplace took off the The Governments of the World cannot shut it down but they could shut down the developers; they're not anons and some live in the US. If anyone here thinks that because its decentralized that will protect the devs they are naive imo; By putting the screws to the devs(harassment, lawsuits, BS trump charges, etc.) they would probably succeed in freezing legitimate development on Syscoin(who can blame them, they have lives and families) and I seriously doubt anyone from the community would step up and fill the shoes of the devs so it essentially would kill Syscoin development for legitimate purposes. You can forget about partnerships with legitimate companies to if you have any kind of illegal listing on the marketplace. As a businessman I would see it as too risky a PR disaster waiting to happen. Just my two cents on why it shouldn't happen not trying to be a downer or anything but that's just the outcome I see happening if syscoin goes down that road. After the Silk Road trial I wouldn't expect them to hold anything back and actually play by the rules of the law.
I agree this will be very interesting to watch as it unfolds and I would question the legitimacy of any case attempted to be brought against the dev team. What would be pursued for? We aren't listing the items. I think they would have a very difficult time crafting a case that really put the developers in the line of fire, although they could try. To the earlier point it would be like trying to sue all gun manufacturers for shooting deaths each year... not the fault of the manufacturer and there is arguably a much stronger foundation for a case there vs an open source project having listings created by its consumers that the govt doesn't like and because it decentralized and they can't stop it they come after... the devs? But for what? I don't know of any case law that would give them a position to attack us from, but I'm also not a lawyer
You can bet that prior to official release we'll be retaining a lawyer to ensure Syscoin's EULA is solid and releases us from all liability.
To the point of mixed materials in the marketplace, some which may be objectionable to certain other merchants or certain locales. As sidhujag mentioned you're only going to see everything on the chain when your in the wallet, searching- and you're still only going to see public items. If the "nefarious" items are private listings, you'll never see them in the wallet (listings start as private by default). Additionally, if you're interfacing with the marketplace through a web or mobile view (the most common use case in the end imo) you will only see the items the merchant / market operator wants you to see. For those merchants that have a problem with "everything on the chain" possibly containing stuff they oppose they'll have to make the choice as to whether those items which are
invisible to their customers are worth losing the benefits that Syscoin brings - namely increased exposure, lower costs, no central authority, higher redundancy, and zero downtime.
If they feel the value tradeoff isn't there they will keep paying eBay (or whoever) and hoping it stays up and hoping they can market their items effectively enough to garner sales and hoping their listings are allowed there and they don't get banned. I agree that while there's really no telling what will happen when this is unleashed (its like Twitter before there was twitter
) the key to succeeding for us is going after that eBay/Etsy/Craiglist/p2p replacement and then scaling into eCommerce on the back of that because we're cheaper, and more reliable. While the dark market thing has a niche, its not the pathway to LARGE scale growth and adoption we're looking to see w this project.
