Once it will be everything ready for the launch it would be nice to have a good article/paper that explains all the benefits of sys's market over its p2p competitors.
It might give sys the visibility it truly deserves.
Absolutely and it's in the works! One of our awesome team members @sidhujag is working on it as we speak!
Yup it's almost done and ready to go public too - it's a great write up. Any specific competitors you're looking to see covered other than freemarket? We've included a few others but we'd like to hear specific competitors to compare to from the community
Requests?
This is a GREAT idea especially with how authorities have recently taking over TOR exit nodes to reveal clearnet IPs of users using link-trickery. Will tack this on as something that not only applies to darknet markets but "TOR" markets in general. You may want to sell some stuff that's totally legal and isn't drugs or anything but your government just wants to entirely control the sale of it so you open up a shop on the darknet to sell these items. Or you're prevented from selling for some reason specific to your locale- like because you're a woman or not of a certain social standing. We can show
how easy it would be to eliminate these centralized shops whereas with Syscoin it
can't be stopped.
...This may warrant its own separate blog post because it also gets into the
power of Syscoin when it comes to marketing merchant items too. We were discussing in Slack yesterday
through reseller features we're building into the Syscoin marketplace system you'll be able to curate existing offers on the marketplace and "resell" them for a small % fee. So sellerA could list their items on blockmarketA run by them... and then other users- who have nothing to really sell themselves but who are running blockmarkets could literally resell sellerA's items on their blockmarkets C, D, E, and F. This gives the seller's items
way more exposure than they would ever get if they continued selling their items using centralized platforms. And it of course increases revenue opportunities for participating merchants.
We also got into discussions about how your could use the certificate service to control which merchants were valid resellers for your items but that's a longer conversation.
I really encourage people to hang out in our Slack, we have some really in depth discussions on marketplace, feature design, and implementation ramifications #general on almost a daily basis!
