Nope! the cool part about it is we will create a sync tool to be able to sync with other shopping cart softwares which may or may not even accept cryptocurrency... the backend needs SYS yes but the offers themselves may not need sys..they can use any payment gateways, and we will create syscoin payment gateways for these softwares incase people DO want to accept syscoin on these carts. Blockmarket offer's ITSELF needs sys but its just first iteration... stay tuned.
What do you mean by "the backend needs SYS yes"? The seller makes an offer in any currency he wants but the buyer must buy only with Syscoin?
Can you explain a bit more of this? If a buyer wants to get paid in another crypto currency, then Syscoin would not be needed. Just the block market right? Then why would we need Syscoins? Btw why is there such a huge amount of Sys? 2 billion is such an immense quantity. I think that's the main reason why the price is so low. Have you guys thought of bringing it down? Or is that not part of the plan?
For example, i own a website with integrated marketplace/cart using blockmarket tech then If buyer pay with BTC, the operator of the site (me) would have to connect to 3rd party payment gateway or operate the gateway myself to convert the payment in to syscoin or other currency i choose, of course i as an market place operator would own certain enough amount of syscoin to facilitate all user transaction in my marketplace. The entire transaction then would be recorded in blockchain and i would have my admin/finance tool to extract the blockchain data for internal administration, tax, or other financial report.
I think that's why syscoin need the amount of that, to accommodate the number of future transaction from many marketplace, let say that if each transaction require at least 1 sys then 2 billion sys would at least can process 100-500k transaction/sec maybe more, and it would be far more easy for my employee to input record of transaction cost/fee if it's in 15 or 150 sys not in 0,000015 sys.
I think you should force people to use at least 1 kind of digital currency. For some maybe Mazacoin feels more naturally to use, while others can identify them selfs more with Friendshipcoin2.
