Particl development teams have been hard at work adding additional features and interface experiences to Particl Desktop and Particl Marketplace.

Last Wednesday, we compiled a new batch of testnet Desktop builds for the community to test which includes improved UI/UX, stability & listing governance improvements, as well as a couple of other minor features and tweaks.

Note: This build is the same one we’ve demo’ed at Toronto’s CryptoCamp Unconference at the Deloitte HQ and was released on the 28th of November 2018. Stay alert and keep an eye on our #testing channel for any new build we release over time!

Custom Particl Lapel Pins Now Available

Our friends at ICOsensei are big supporters of the concept of a private, decentralized marketplace and have made it known that they have big plans once we are on mainnet.

Earlier in the summer they sent over a limited supply of Particl branded label pins from their cryptocurrency collection of pins. In an effort to regularly entice everyone back into the testing version of the marketplace, we now offer these awesome pins up to you. Come and get ‘em!

How to Get Yours?

First, open Particl Desktop, and navigate to the RECEIVE section and copy your deposit address. Then, get some testnet coins by going to the Particl faucet (faucet.particl.xyz) and enter your deposit address in the designated space. Now’s the time to order your Particl lapel pin!

On Particl Desktop, go to the LISTINGS section and locate the Particl lapel pin by either scrolling through the listings or searching for it in the “Particl — Free Swag” category. Go through the usual process of submitting your order, and stay alert for when we will accept your bid. It will require you to fund the escrow smart-contract before we ship out the item.

Once received, please mark the order as “Received” as it will unlock the escrow smart-contract and refund both parties. That’s it! You’ve successfully gone through the entire process of ordering an item on Particl Marketplace!

IMPORTANT: In order to properly test this new build, you will need to reset your testnet marketplace database by deleting the database folder located in particl-market/testnet. The location of your particl-market is dependent on the OS you use.
