Syscoin already has a decentralized marketplace and still such a low marketcap.
Looking forward to the update.
It needs promotion now, nothing more
True
. We are waiting to complete BM (Blockmarket) M1 (milestone 1) before we really start pushing promotion hard. We appreciate that
you only get one shot at first impressions and we're more and more moving to a delivery model that you'd see in business moreso than in an open source project. Its not something that happens overnight but its something we're very well down the path on.
That being the case once BM M1 is out you will see a LOT of promotion in regards to Syscoin Marketplace / Blockmarket- what it can do, how you can use it, why you should use it. The website will be updated as well to reflect a more consumer-toned message whereas today's website is dated and more technical.
You won't see us talking about blockchain so much in these promotions because that's the whole point of Blockmarket- a product that gives you all the benefits of the blockchain
without even having to know what blockchain means / is / does. As far as most end users of Blockmarket will know its just a global marketplace that can never be taken down, can be accessed anywhere in the world, on any device, is extremely cheap (almost free) to list items on, and exposes the items you have for sale to a HUGE global audience.

I mentioned when Syscoin 2.0 launched that "this is just the beginning", and I meant that! Blockmarket M1 and some of the prerequisite steps we've already completed and will be sharing more information about next week will really be what takes Syscoin to the next level. We're a small team (6 now! but only 2 devs :/ ) but we are burning the candle at both ends every day to get these initiatives and products out into the public's hands as soon as possible while still making sure they are polished, thoroughly tested, and secure. We've been working on Syscoin going on 3 years now. This is a serious project and has scaled larger than I think even we thought it would when it all began three years ago. I know some of that sounds enigmatic but it'll all be made clear in next week's post/news.
If you didn't catch it on twitter we'll be sharing a quick update on the status of Syscoin 2.1 and a new (major) feature that was added after speaking with some investors (non-crypto investors) who placed a large deal of value on this feature being present, so now it is
