Unable to subscribe to any of the data sets listed in the documentation (link)

Entering this command into terminal: $ catalyst marketplace subscribe --dataset=Marketcap

Hi @tingwai-to the datasets will become available when we launch the data-marketplace on mainnet, after the smart contract has been audited by a third party. Even if the datasets were available right now, you wouldn't be able to subscribe to them because you would need test-ENG (analogous to test-ether), and that's not available either to the general public.

I see, happy to hear that the marketplace is being actively tested. Are there other features of the marketplace that the general public can try out right now?

If I may, I would also suggest updating the marketplace datasets documentation to reflect that datasets are not currently available for general public/while on testnet.

Thank you for the suggestion. I have edited the documentation accordingly.

Answering your question, you get a preview of how the data marketplace will work, and if you would consider offering some of your datasets to the marketplace you have the specs to get it ready in advance of the release on mainnet.

Much appreciated. Closing issue
