Syscoin market and Openbazaar were released around the same time, Openbazaar had lots of hype leading up to its release, but not many people know that Syscoin also has a decentralised marketplace.
I have tried Openbazaar and was pretty impressed, however I believe it lacks some privacy elements.
Syscoin have now implemented 'Direct BTC' which allows you to buy and sell stuff in bitcoin as well as Syscoin.
Has anyone tried the Syscoin marketplace? How does it stack up against Openbazaar?
My guess is that OB has a better UI interface and larger user base but Syscoin seems to have more features, let me know your thoughts
I tried syscoin, but it needs a web app and also some sort of trust system. With 0 seller reputation I could see, ability to clawback, or easily escrow is seems so risky. You send your syscoin, and then you hope for best?
I love the concept though and own a small amount of syscoin.
The web app Beta is coming out in June per Syscoin roadmap

really like where syscoin is going. they need a webapp though
OpenBazaar is a bit more user friendly and already has awesome UX. It's potential to attract casual users and crafty types is more realistic in the short-term. Crafty types are not normally keen on spending a ton of time with security and key management. They like to focus on their work, not the platform, and that's a good thing.
how about a new uptodate comparision?
