SysCoin technology allows users to conduct low-cost transactions like Bitcoin and also acts as a medium for business trading, provides businesses the infrastructure for trading goods, assets, digital certificates and data securely.
The primary product of the Syscoin team is Blockmarcket, a blockchain powered marketplace "where you can securely and reliably buy and sell any items you wish". They position themselves as a future competitor to Amazon and eBay. Syscoin offers a set of technologies: a global network, a distributed ledger, a decentralized database and a blockchain.
Originally launched in late 2014 and created through a Bitcoin fork, the current version brings us to Syscoin 2.1 and has an algorithm that allows it to be merge-mined with Bitcoin. Merge mining is the ability for miners to simultaneously mine two different cryptocurrencies based on the same algorithm.
For now, its one of the cheapest cryptocurrencies regarding transaction fees (behind zero-fee transaction cryptocurrencies NEO and NANO), even cheaper than Ripple.
Syscoin is present in the industry since 2014, relatively long for blockchain companies and has a fully functional product.
