I'm still not sure if I grasp the concept of Blockmarket web - is the idea that only a SYS daemon is needed and the vendors and users use the BM web portal to administer? Without a Blockmarket Linux distribution running a server seems impractical/insecure.
Also I understand that everything is moving at light speed in this space, so I'm not demanding anything, just curious. Thanks.
Yes absolutely, we(Blockchain Foundry Inc) are working on going IPO in Canada very soon.
Anyone can already setup their own version of Blockmarket using the Syscoin API that we have developed to make it easier to integrate Syscoin's features into their own software.
Everything you see in Blockmarket Destop(and more) will be ported over to Blockmarket Web using the power of Masternodes as a hosting service.
Blockmarket Web: Pro Edition: Will allow you to run your own virtual mall on the Syscoin network and earn revenue from merchants; Shopify for the blockchain
Building on Blockmarket Web, the pro edition allows for multi-merchant marketplaces run by operators. Think of it as a virtual mall on the Syscoin blockchain. Mall operators don't have to sell any items themselves but provide the hosted space where other merchants can easily sign up, buy Syscoin, customize their space, and list their items while paying the operator a small fee maintaining the front end. With Blockmarket Web: Pro Edition you can run your own Shopify-like offering secured and powered by the blockchain!
We certainly understand the need for Linux versions and will eventually be working on it on a priority-basis.
That's awesome people can setup their own markets using your API. Do you collect fee's from theirs markets?
Also, how much are the fees on Blockmarket?
Less than 0.04 cents to get started:
A transaction costs 0.017 SYS (less than 2 cents)
-It will cost you one transaction to create an Alias (this is your "identity" or "store name"). Your identity will last for one year unless you pay much more for it to last longer (this is done to prevent name squatting such as is currently done with Domain Names).
-It will cost you another 0.017 SYS to list an item on Blockmarket which will also last 1 year.
