In the AMA earlier this year we were told that the Phore core team would continue and the symapse team would be working independently. Which makes me believe there will be a second whitepaper near or upon arrival of Synapse release. I for one cannot wait.
I am earnestly waiting for the results of the independent projects, being able to combine multiple projects at the same time shows the dexterity and the incredible work ethic of the team and it will pay off massively soon.
which one interests you the most, for me, the marketplace is my favourite, the prospect is huge if it generates lots of interest from big merchant and individuals that have things to sell.
Personally I like them both for different reasons, I have a huge problem with the current centralise ecommerce model. The privacy issues alone are enough to make me wanna smash my phone up. The number of phishing scams and stuff going around data leaks dont help with this. The lack of data requires to by amd sell however on the Phore marketplace would mitigate these risks almost entirely.
On the other hand Synapse and its usability and scaleability has the potential to be a real game changer for multiple industries, distribution, healthcare to name but a few.
For now, we can only guess which sectors of the economy will best succeed in implementing Phore Synapse sharding technology.
The free market itself will determine these sectors of the economy.
In the meantime, I will train and develop my online store based on the Phore Marketplace platform - this is a decentralized Uber, which now surpasses Amazon and Ebay.

Your correct, the current centralise marketplaces are harming the ecommerce industry and I don't know if anyone realizes of this problem, well for sure the Phore Team did, but do people and organizations really understand the problem? A massive quantity of wealth is going to online retail companies on a daily basis, most major marketplaces are actually causing harm to the eCommerce.
The current model for marketplaces involves overcharging buyers and unfairly treating sellers, so Phore is comming with a great solution, I would invite anyone that want to discuss this topic and change the world, to join the Phore discord group and join the conversations around this topic, you might want to even help to change and support the resolution of this problem, let's do it together!
I still have such an idea in my head. And I'm already halfway to its implementation.
In many cities there are local publics "I will give the gift", flea markets, etc.
Sometimes interesting, beautiful and useful things appear that they give away for free.
This is the perfect product to test the Phore Marketplace at work.
In general, the Phore Marketplace itself may be of interest to agorists, libertarians, ankaps, etc.
They can now use the power of a free market without taxes and without government intervention.
And they do not need to build a bright future, because they can live freely now.
To do this, you just need to test the work of the Phore Marketplace and create your own small online store there.
It takes no more than 8 minutes.
