~ trimmed large quote explaining marketplace feature via console ~
A question for the devs :
Is it safe to assume this process will be streamlined in 0.1.5 or 0.1.6? What about through outside development like was posted a while back? (I forget who posted it) I'm kind of assuming it will be streamlined, but I just wanted to ask. At face value using syscoin looks like more of a hassle than using a darknet marketplace, so naturally people will opt out of using syscoin for the time being.
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.
Great! rather late than a broken feature. when its out it should be 100%working and be one of a kind
