Vouch for RiverBoatBTC, he found someone for me even outside of US!
Great job!

The market place bounty has just been released to @Sphericon for his great work

This is a great example of community driven development! We do encourage (and support) every developer or just creative mind creating services and applications like this around the feature-rich blockchain.
I want to say again, if you have ideas but cannot code, feel invited to contact us on any way, we will happily help you and / or connect you developers!

Meanwhile there were pretty good feature discussion on our IRC channel (#syscoin), for example the new ASIN feature @Sphericon just introduced into his market app.
In this matter I need to mention, that this is some features that are built on the front-end site, some will make it into the blockchain as a general feature, some will not. We must not bloat it with too much information per design (else we have something like SAP R3, who ever used it knows what i mean ).

Go on developing, this is awesome!

This is an untested port If you want to test, feel free to do so but consider it may be faulty, still. It also does not include the market stuff and all the other syscoin related specials (data, aliases...).

There is a lot of development ongoing that is just not been commented on public. Yes, that may not have been the best decision in terms of PR as it turns out, and we see we needed to re-structure ourselves and set a new focus.

We decided to focus on the new wallet UI now, to get all the functionality SYS already offers out of the console right into the user's face so to say. It will support all basic functionality of SYS, and we plan to have it released within less than 4 weeks.

All the other items as stated (again) by mwheeleruk are not stopped, we just set highest prio on wallet now.

On the general development time, 2 members of our team were dedicated fulltime to SYS, and are now struggling financing their lives as the funds are not released by moolah. Simple it is, these two needed to get other jobs to pay the bills, so they have less time for coding (understandable, right?). We do have private repo's that work is happening on, and also on the different branches of syscoin (take a look, you can checkout some functionality in buggy alpha state already, e.g. assets).

It is ALWAYS great for a coin if community picks it up and builds services around it. I said already, but perfect example is Bitcoin itself: How many of the available services with BTC are built by the btc foundation / dev team?
Sphericon does a great job with his market, SYYK was an example of mine on what is possible with syscoin tech.
Be creative, and if you cannot code but have ideas on what you want to create, feel free to pm me, I can help coding and/or connect with other dev's (of the community).

Danosphere will update the roadmap later tonight / latest tomorrow to reflect the new focus and new dates for releases.

already got some media coverage:

http://www.cryptoarticles.com/crypto-news/syyk-aims-to-make-public-messaging-on-the-blockchain-possible

I've created a proof-of-concept of a 'twitter on the blockchain' utilizing the SysCoin Blockchain.

For it's not going down in the discussions here, I created a new thread for that:

SYYK - Messaging on the blockchain

This is a Proof-of-Concept.

I assume it has a lot of potential for future applications of alternate blockchains.


I am happy to introduce SYYK - Messaging on the blockchain



We might call this a simple twitter clone, but it is demonstrating the possiblility of decentralized, un-censorable and absolute free (public) messaging on the blockchain.

For this PoC I use the power of the Syscoin blockchain's data aliases, combined with a JSON payload for timestamps and messages.

Basically the data alias stores the message data JSON array, that is parsed by the website. Fortunately, I can see the data of a data alias even tho I do not own it, so I created a "master data alias" containing a "followers" array.

For execution, the master data alias is parsed, and thereafter each follower's data.

I have a heap of ideas how to make this one even larger, more powerful, and - yes, thinking of such - a powerful money machine attractive for investors, without bugging the users.

The one displayed here has to be considered alpha state.

For the next steps I want to finish my implementation of FaceBook on the blockchain. Working title: SocialChain
This will in alpha stage support profile pic, status message and message updates as is SYYK.
I hope the SYS devs will be able to provide an on-chain-encryption system soon, this will then be implemented as private messaging within SocialChain immediately


For this, and more, it is absolutely neccessary to have the SYScore implementation done to build lightweight applications on top of it.
For SYYK and SocialChain I imagine lightweight Android and IOS apps, but do not think those are really practical right now with the need to dowload and store blockchain and wallet as total on the phone.


I am happy to discuss advantages, disadvantages and thoughts on this! Please share your opinion
If you want to see your messages here, create a dataalias on the Syscoin Blockchain, pm me the name and use data in this format: '{"timestamp": [123,123], "message": ["Some msg", "next msg..."]}'
Each msg needs a corresponding timestamp. Automatic updating script is finished but not tested, will release it here asap I have tested it in full.

For next steps I seek:

- A dev to adopt SYScore in total for all the additions the Syscoin blockchain offers (As stated, I would like to develop the mobile apps for this based on it)
- Possible Investors. I believe this ideas and its standing code base is viable to start off a business off it.

Ps: The screen was taken from testnet, am building everything for mainnet meanwhile and will update, then also with a newer screenshot of new dataaliases, and public available testpage you can browse to.

SYS already delivers everything needed to build a "SR on the blockchain".
Just a dev needs to pick up the existing examples (github.com/syscoin) and BUILD IT.

We as team do not build a SR market!

The underlaying technology of SYS does provide ALL option for a market you can offer on whatever you like, if you know guys form SR, it's totally up to you pointing them to the SYS blockchain and technology.

TL:DR Just build any market you need or want on the chain!

Man, how many BTC services are built by the btc foundation themselves? Ask yourself when crying for the dev team to build certain special markets / services around the blockchain! No personal offense, it's just making me angry this approach (dev team, build all services we want) is taking over while it is mainly THE COMMUNITY and ENTREPRENEURS that build the services that will be super huge

This is a pretty interesting concept. Though, in the moment the offers are not hosted on the blockchain, but need to be updated via p2p, why not directly have them on the chain where you have the payment process etc directly with it? It sounds like a bloating second chain besides the standard blockchain (at first glance, prob gotta re-think aboput this in the morning).

In general it is hard to have all currencies included in a hardcoded way into a wallet. Remember it is a load of maintenance to check the availability of the pages, data APIs and so on, and this in addition to all the other development.
We thought about it. It is basically "only" some API calls and basic calculations. But the maintenance is a killer at the moment - for us. We encourage projects like the actual USD converter to be enhanced and built upon by the community and interested vendors. Or someone picks this idea up and creates a page providing all this via API everyone could use.. many possible ways, but for us, besides the development and legal actions, not feasible _right now_.

Thank you both for your support, we appreciate it!
I am 1000% sure the upcoming features will prove this coin's new tech even more and services built around it will take over!



Let's assume the global oil market, it's all working around the USD...
There's already a first example on how to update a SYS offer on the chain vs. actual SYS-BTC-USD price...

addnode=188.226.131.93:14070
addnode=190.242.40.226:14070
addnode=213.7.171.248:50588
addnode=95.91.225.132:1055   <--- longest chain

Pull you nodes up and don't forget listen=1 in config

So... ninja launch and instamine... neat ^^

I have only one connection: 190.242.40.226:14070

We defo need more nodes

There's also a 'return' key on your keyboard.
Please find it and use it from time to time to make sure other humans can read your posts without getting a headache

Take Genesis Mining.. at least they have proven to be legit

Genesis-Mining

Just wait a moment until its fully synced with the network

You can install the node syscoin library either from github (github.com/syscoin/node-syscoin) or via npm install syscoin

This is what you are asking for: https://github.com/JohnDorien1/SysCoin-OfferPriceUpdate
You can define a USD value and set this script up as cron, it will update the SYS price accordingly.

Note it's not having any error handling yet, so if one of the 4 configured exchanges dies it may be faulty.
Consider the tool to be in beta stage!

As for the PGP Keys, I noticed on Linux commandline this is some trouble from time to time with the line breaks, but in the GUI wallet console it's handled correctly.
