You must have an application running using port 9333. You won't be able to connect if your wallet isn't active. Port 9333 is the Main Net port, you will have no luck trying to mine to it.

Viz.

Just need have wallet-qt running, then start miner with batfile (assuming ur on windows) miner.exe 127.0.0.1 9335

Gotta hand it to Viz this is the easiest coin i've ever setup for solo:

9 mins left, Viz is grinding away will post soon.

100% these features will be streamlined in the wallet. Right now its looking like 0.1.6 will be the update which contains those changes as we need to update the roadmap around 0.1.5 as we made more progress than expected and thus will have a 0.1.5 release out AHEAD of the marketplaces release. This will change 0.1.6 to being the marketplaces "marketing" release we will include interfaces in the wallet for marketplace interaction, web examples/interfaces (which we already have working but we're trying to improve them before calling them "done") and there will also be a number of enhancements to the "offers" services themselves in the 0.1.6 release and its related marketing effort.

Roadmap will be updated as soon as we have a hard date for the new 0.1.5 release and there will be an associated blog post.

The big topic we were discussing today within the team is how to create an item for sale and rather than pricing it in SYS, price it in a currency that is then converted to SYS using exchange-rates at the time of offerpay. This way people could sell an item and know they were getting the correct amount of SYS regardless of market price at the time of listing the item.

Sure.

Right, this is done off a mac so the menus etc may look a little different but everything else is the same. I'll apologise if i seem to be talking to much or talking obvious, this is how i think it should be pushed out to a general audience.

So going on the principal that you wish to add a game serial onto the marketplace, i will show you how to put up an XBOX Live Monthly Subscription Serial (this is live and available for anyone btw). So, starting with the basics, bring up your wallet.


1. Once open, bring up the debug window.



2. Once loaded, goto Console.



3. This command to add the initial item onto the marketplace, To explain this command we use offernew and the information shown in the screenshot is shown in order of < category > < offertitle > < quantity > < price > < offerdescription >



3.1. The command will then give you the transaction information regarding the item you have just added (above)

4. We now need to actually activate the item on the marketplace / blockchain, we will now input the transaction information from above to do this. You will need the rand (first line and the txid (secondline) this is taken from the response / return you initially got when adding the item to the marketplace. Note: In the screenshot i am using both the rand and the txid this is because i closed my wallet, if you did not you only need to use the rand.



5. Once submitted, it will then be listed and fee taken for doing so.



6. You can now check the marketplace by running the offerinfo command and using the rand id to show the information about the item.



7. Now lets look at this from a customer perspective, id goto the console, use the offerinfo command using the specific rand for that item, i would know the quantity available and the price of the item, as well as any other information (description etc) - So, i want this item what i would have to do is specify this using an offeraccept command which falls in the format of ' offer accept rand 1" this says i want to purchase 1 xbox live subscription code, as shown the below using the full command.



8. You (the customer) is now presented with the unique transaction information for this sale, so now we will pay for it using this information and the offerpay command - Im using the pay txid i was given on the previous step, you may also notice within the brackets extra information i wish to give to the seller, in this case im telling him i want the serial to be emailed to me.



9. The seller will be able to see the transaction thats just happend within there wallet or by running the 'offerinfo rand' command, as a role play instance if i checked my wallet i would see the sale in my wallet, id then check the offer info and match up the transaction information as shown in the screenshot and i will then simply send the xbox live code to the buyers email address as requested.



So that shows how to list, view and sell an item on the Syscoin marketplace - of course this all could and can be made a simpler process using a UI / Web interface of which are been developed this is just the barebones example. A full list of the commands used can be found via the Syscoin Github, have a play - https://github.com/syscoin/syscoin/blob/master/COMMANDS.md

Hey guys, I've downloaded the latest wallet for mac and I keep getting stuck at block 5169.  Says I need to upgrade or nodes need to upgrade.  Can someone please help?

I may have missed it and don't feel like sifting through 300 pages. How can I fix this?

You need to run as admin or it will not sync....

Not the best launch, but we survived.

I hope to see more users tomorrow
