I saw this on the road map and I think we need campaign #2 soon...
SYSCOIN PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN #1
With new informational assets in place, a proper promotional campaign can be started. Market using select well known promoters in the crypto community. Run ads on major network directed at specific demographics to increase reach.

Awesome! is this considered "coder" porn?  Could be. Let's reveal a little more...  |

got the beginnings of the windows app built, running off syscoin-qt.exe as a backend. Now to make it actually useful Here's a screenshot, and remember this is just in the very beginning stages:  |

Wow JohnDorien, I didn't know there was the syscore library out for SysCoin! https://github.com/JohnDorien1/SYScoreHow many other resources are out there for SysCoin that we could benefit from knowing about? As far as the marketplace goes, I'm not sure if I can make it platform independent as I'm just using c# now on vs. Net. Is that what the Dev team is working on for the end-of-month release? |

On the general development time, 2 members of our team were dedicated fulltime to SYS, and are now struggling financing their lives as the funds are not released by moolah. Simple it is, these two needed to get other jobs to pay the bills, so they have less time for coding (understandable, right?). We do have private repo's that work is happening on, and also on the different branches of syscoin (take a look, you can checkout some functionality in buggy alpha state already, e.g. assets).
I know it's not much compared to IPO funds, but if we can get the UI for the marketplace in the wallet (guessing right in the wallet would be easiest for them) here soon, we have ~635kSYS for them. I'm still working on my .Net desktop version. I hope to have it ready soon as we really need something now to shore up confidence. Will update as I have more info. |

imo the biggest issue this coin has is marketing. Read from bytecent: Lack of marketing and PR has become the leading cause of legitimate projects to fail. Little to no focus is spent on attracting new users outside of the crypto community, and virtually no effort is made to educate consumers on the numerous benefits of cryptocurrencies. There are over 7.1 billion people living on the planet, and less than 2 million people actively use cryptocurrencies.
The Bytecent project will revolutionize the way cryptocurrencies are marketed and promoted while changing the general perception that cryptocurrencies are "nerd money." We will make use of both old and new media to educate consumers on why Bytecent is a better option to traditional payment methods.
Press Releases
Press releases will be a vital tool in disseminating frequent information about the Bytecent project. The press releases will focus on specific content to assist contributors, consumers, and other target groups in learning more about what Bytecent has to offer. At least two press releases will be issued each month to maintain our relevancy in the market.
Print Advertising
Print advertising is still one of the most effective ways to get information out about a product or service, and we plan to use print advertising to our advantage. Placing ads in technology and financial related magazines will allow us to educated new users while appealing to users already familiar with cryptocurrencies. The use of QR codes along with other interactive features in print advertisements will open up new channels and help bridge the gap between our offline and online presence.
Radio Advertising
Radio advertising has significant advantages over TV ad spots. Radio ads are typically cheaper than TV advertising, and Radio ads can be targeted to a narrow audience and reach people within that audience wherever they go.
Radio advertising will provide us with the opportunity to introduce Bytecent to millions of people while keeping our advertising costs down.
Webinars & Offline Workshops
The biggest hurdle with any cryptocurrency is educating consumers and merchants on the benefits of using a cryptocurrency. Advertising alone will not be enough to change the way people have been buying goods and services for decades.
We will conduct monthly webinars and offline workshops to teach consumers about Bytecent and why it is a better option compared to fiat and credit cards. We will also spotlight all the advantages of accepting Bytecent as a merchant. |

@j4ce1 thanks I saw https://github.com/syscoin/syscoin/issues/34- this is a quick issue to fix we'll release a patch-fix for this ASAP. I'm working on Syscoin'd blockmarket ( https://github.com/syscoin/blockmarket) this weekend, it'll be another front end in addition to that built at syscoin.market for users to interact with Syscoin Marketplace features. There were already multiple coins working on decentralized markets. Competition is a good thing. The Moolah battle is about more than just Syscoin's funds its about accountability in crypto. In that same vein its about budgeting- we planned things against a certain budget, that budget is now gone. We're working on moving the coin features forward but with no funding and and a parallel legal battle things take time. The legal costs are coming out of our pocket- funded by our dayjobs- which are not developing Syscoin. We've been working on this for almost a year at this point. We raised funds and had a lot going for us then we got ripped off. There is a still a TON of potential in this tech and we're working to push it forward. We're doing our best given the hand we've been dealt. As has been stated before we all work fulltime jobs, the presale funding was to be used to hire developers which we were doing; once the funding "vanished", so were most the additional devs. Now its mostly back to the core team, and our limited hours until we recoup our funds from Moolah. Until then we're keeping things moving albeit at a slower pace than we'd prefer. Openbazaar was around while we were developing SYS, and looking at BitBay I'm not really concerned; def not a rebranded SYS if you look at their website it claims the only thing ready on launch is wallets. Everything is claimed to be in development / planned - including the decentralized markets. They're working on decentralized markets and other stuff, like many other coins are doing. We've done it, we need to dress it better and that's our current focus (both for Syscoin Markets themselves and the Syscoin Wallet as a whole). For those efforts, all devs are needed including coderboo and myself. Coding during the hours which are available after work. Much of my time after work is taken up by legal. Also remember we're working on new features which need to be designed before they are built/released, and we have a number of private repositories in which we're doing work in order to protect our ideas before they are released fully. You can already see Syscoin Assets in alpha (publicly) in our Github repo coderboo has been working on that, and there are several features already in our core app that aren't properly useable for "average joe" users- rest of the team is focused right now on usability, games, and mobile apps. The features are there at the core level! Also danosphere, I'm thinking your implementation will be more feature rich than the one I put up at http://syscoin.market. If you want I can replace my version with yours once its more complete. I thought the domain was perfectly suited for a marketplace, don't you agree? |

Or perhaps they would consider collaborating on it together and splitting the bounty. I'll throw in 25k SYS minimum, whether they race or tag-team it.
Again, they need a working product that end users will not have to read a page of instructions to enter text into the console to put an item up, as previously explained that much is trivial on the programming side of it, they should be at the part of beefing up security of that aspect by now and building websites around it is a moot point without the GUI in the wallet. This is a prerequisite to people buying into it, without that, it is not ready for market as it is not a viable product.
I think tonight I'm gonna write a win32 app that talks to the wallet so there's an answer for this marketplace that people can use without console commands. Better stock up on coffee! LoL - I had the same thought last night. I was going to write it in C# or something and open source it. I'll race you! I still need to install VS though, so hopefully I can start tonight. I got 100,00 SYS on it for the winner if you guys do race  ill add 50,000 to this ever increasing bounty I have a Windows dev environment set up and I'm working on getting the c# talking to the wallet right now. I'd like to see this come to light, not just for a bounty, but because I think it would be totally useful and awesome for the average person to be able to use a decentralized classified ads system with payment built in. Think of the possibilities of that! What excites me more about this coin are all the other things they are building into it. This has a ton of potential. Another thing to think about-maybe the team could recruit some other developers who are interested in the coin as well. Sure, they could have hired some with moolah funds, but I bet there are some who would work on it for fun. PR campaign for that perhaps? |

I like where it is going now. Seems like people in the community got active finally and there will be some coding going on. Let's not forget to promote the hell of it ASAP. I guess it's time to withdraw Sys from the exchange to the wallet.
Long overdue! I have been buying and withdrawing since the day I found sys. The only sys that has left my wallet was a 20k tip to another holder who formatted his hd, and some testing sys for marketplace dev. |

Wow, two pages from last night of just BS.
Look, developers keep telling us, over and over they are sticking this through, they are going after Ryan and getting BTC back, but also still working on coin.
If you guys cannot see the importance of going after Ryan then i don't know what to say, scammers must not be a concern enough for you. I fully support their decision to go after him and make an example and restore faith in cryptos and this even helps out mintpal customers that lost coins. This is bigger than just syscoin, it's about nature of scamming in cryptos and needs to be addressed if cryptos are to move forward and be taken seriously.
That being said sure it would be nice to have some full time marketing, PR, BUT, with what funds, and also what is their to market yet? Not until the finished product for the storefront is out, and users can add to it, it's just wasted hype for those wanting a quick buck.
Also I see a much bigger problem here in cryptos, it's fact that coins cannot move past the getting out of being tied to BTC, and outside of community yet. This always cause constant hype, constant news in order to keep investors happy, since resources just move from coin to coin. For example someone probably dumped not cause they don't believe in syscoin, just cause BTC was raising in prices so they dump to take advantage of prices rises in BTC or other alts, then might come back and get syscoin cheaper than before.
This is a problem for all coins, we need to detach from BTC and not be pegged to it's prices and fluctuations that are not stable at all.
This is why prices don't matter right now, unless you are buying. But if you hold, who cares. This coin like some others in 2.0 are trying to breach the BTC peg and get out to mainstream with building a product, not by developing new gadgets and toys to play with that seem neat.
That being said, once syscoin gets their btc back and is in full swing AS THEY STATED WILL WRAP UP IN DEC, stop bitching and let them do their jobs.
I SWEAR CRYPTO COMMUNITY ACTS LIKE BUNCH OF ADHD CHILDREN SOMETIMES. Give them some time, they have fully be transparent with us, read the blog updates, I am starting to think nobody reads them, or this is purposeful attempt at FUD.
Yeah, syscoin isn't just about flooding with investor interest so we all make money selling coins for a profit on an exchange. Syscoin service technology is meant to be used by businesses and enterprises. Or to facilitate new types of businesses (like SYYK and other such concepts) that have not previously been possible. Having a working marketplace example running might be good to use as a demonstration and to improve investor confidence, but any business who wants to leverage syscoin tech is going to build their own UI anyways. Yes, people who download the wallet would want a pretty marketplace UI built into the wallet instead of using console commands. But the point of syscoin (IMO) is that eventually most of its user base not only doesn't use a wallet at all - they have no idea they are even using syscoin or blockchain tech. This is a roadmap measured in years, not weeks, and the PR needs to be done when the time is right, not just to placate an investor who wants to dump their coin at 1000 sats to make a profit. THIS. finally somebody who has it right! The potential for this coin is huge, and the main goal isn't to appease some asshole selling at .00001 btc. The goal is to improve on the proven but aging and featureless entity that is bitcoin. The first player in the market breaks the ice, but it is the players that come later and refine and massage the core concepts into something much more useful and user-friendly that will win in the end. SysCoin has a lot of great ideas. Novel concepts don't materialize instantly. They take time. The devs have been working on this project for a year, and they continue to release new updates and features. If people can't see this they are just sheep anyway, finding the altcoin flavor of the week. Could we use more pr? Yes, but there are a couple more core concepts that need to be released before the pr onslaught. Hodl your coins and remember why you bought SysCoin in the first place. |

I SWEAR CRYPTO COMMUNITY ACTS LIKE BUNCH OF ADHD CHILDREN SOMETIMES. LOOK A SQUIRREL!!!
I bet many of them *are* children. Tell me I can't get a credit or debit card eh? I'll go to unregulated cryptoland where the coins don't discriminate by age, like the Fiat system does. If I'm old enough to see the merit of non-cash currency, I should be able to utilise it, right??!? |

So was this Moolah owner getting rid of his coins?
He has way more, so it is not him. Set buy orders low and perhaps you might get some when he dumps. He wont be dumping. Is there shame in relaunching the coin? I really like this coin and the team but this Moolah shit has left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. This coin is still young. Just my 2 cents That's precisely why it shouldn't be relaunched. It's still a young coin and can bounce back from this without problems. The development continues and they are active with communication. The moolah stuff is not great but in time it will be forgotten about. At least it isn't a scandal involving the devs, it was just bad luck. A relaunch would be a terrible idea, and, straight out of the developers' months, isn't going to happen. Let's stop bringing up this same dead horse-its already been beaten too much. |

Hey, so I just noticed everything on syscoin.market is only 88SYS.
Was excited until I realized it's every item, is this an error?
It's an error in the Syscoin code. if you do an "offerscan 0 500" in the console you'll see the price of those items is 88 sys as well, except for the ones that have been updated, which are incremented by 88 sys every time they are updated for some reason  |
