Perhaps I am touching a fragile area by starting a thread about OpenLedger and DEX but if it had a reasonable liquidity I find it really superior to centralized exchanges.
I played with the technology for a while and actually finally started to properly understand where does steem(it), peerplays etc. come from.
I discovered there are a lot of haters around bitshares in bitcointalk. I personally am out of that discussion as I have never had any contact and/or investment with BitShares and I am not related with any of its affiliates.
Why the DEX is so far unpopular? Is this about low liquidity, its past, dev team or just lack of a proper marketing? Taking into account its features this should be the exchange to choose and the technology should go viral.
Unless there is a catch about it that I did not discover yet.
