Interestingly, there is even a client shipped that allows trade from the command line.
The best thing is, as a buyer you do not even need BlockAze - you can pay via normal transactions
from your Electrum Wallet which greatly increases adoption. As long as the transaction fulfills some criteria (easy!)
it is then properly parsed by BlockAze and then added to a sellers ranking etc.
You can even run your own market with this tool.
