Why not netting volume... software feature / capabilities?
They might not be anything like realtime hft and realworld
integration, especially if running over a crypto network,
but might be enough to get a market of a 50-5k
casual users in/out of various pairs. Users buy in/out
of localbitcoins, other side markets, atm's at 5-15% random
premium, so a low liquidity on accurate price discovery
doesn't seem to bother that crowd much, and some seem
to wait out bad pricing till a better maker comes.
