BitBay is open for public use, just let me know what platform you are on and i can PM a link. We are in the process of making sure Linux and Mac run smooth and getting a new landing page for the website and then can put a download on there.

I'm looking into Syscoin Blockmarket. This is very interesting project. Can you explain to me how its decentralized? I checked their website and its not easy to navigate. I wish there was more explanation on their project. They don't seem to have any contracts system. Anyways, if so, hats off to them. I know that Open Bazaar was in private tests but no public release.

In many ways, only BitBay and Blackcoin knew this release was coming so soon.

Regardless, BitHalo was the first smart contracts and we've been around for almost a year now (May 29th release). So I can say that these markets that run in BitBay are not only decentralized, but extremely user friendly and have built in unbreakable smart contracts which can be used for sale of goods, employment, barter etc. What excites me is double deposit escrow since arbiters/middle men arent needed. (its 2 party escrow/ true smart contracts)

Anyways, I would be happy to know more about what syscoin had developed. I always thought it was so awesome how they went after that Green guy from Mintpal. If you are friends tell them I said hello and wish them good luck on their project.
