I think once there are official press releases on the court case Syscoin will gain a lot of attention. In my opinion this is a big deal as there is a physical entity representing the coin at the government level, no hiding there. To me it gives a lot of credibility to the devs because of the answer I get when I ask myself, what dev would pursue someone in the court of law if their end game was to scam people? Big things coming if they can follow through on the back end and develop the services they promised.
That's the main difference I have found with Syscoin ever since I found out about it in October. The devs don't just try to push things out as fast as possible to get hype so they can dump. They instead focus on building pieces of the puzzle that will work together later and make further development of incredible features possible.
For example, I wrote out a php-based website that interacts with the marketplace just as a proof-of-concept. A day ago, danosphere built out and released one to the collective internal that is based upon html/js/angular. It is also communicating via an http server that coderboo has implemented *into the QT wallet*.
Why is this a big deal? Because the Syscoin core dev team is also developing a completely new wallet for Syscoin that gets away from the QT architecture and is instead js/html. I think you can see where I'm going with this--it is not a huge leap for them to implement the marketplace directly into that new wallet. I think this will change coins as we know them. Only a handful have a non-QT based wallet, and out of those, none of them have a decentralized marketplace, i2p, and stealth implemented, except Syscoin
