slight update;

1). I intend to run a simulated version as well as a production version. both will be available soon. I am getting everything in order, (compliance, ddos-mitigation, etc).

2). Because the focus of this project was fast & reliable order matching. I've created a bare-bone java desktop application client to connect to the server for execution purposes only. and again there are no fancy bells and whistles, just basic account information and order execution. Charting and web execution (for the java paranoid) will be provided by coinigy; working with them currently to support the exchange feed. I believe they are launching the beta soon and are a exchange-neutral platform.

3). Because I am located in the USA, production version will require customer compliance with verification/KYC policies before account can be opened. In a nutshell: the information that will be required from a patron is basically the same information required to open a library card.
