Let say i want to sell game keys, for starter maybe 5 or 10, can you illustrate the step by step process until the transaction complete? the 100Sys fee, is it per category or per each item (key) or quantity? any other requirement for larger quantity?

thanks

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
