i am ready to test the client side DEX against the marketmaker linked LP node, except for the problem that bitcoin is currently effectively stopped.
blockstream has gotten its wish along with all small blockers and now we have a fee market where all small value tx are priced out and could wait for days (or weeks) to get confirmed. zero-conf tx run the distinct risk of expiring out of the mempool, so any business using zero-conf might be at risk of being double spent on.
just send zero-conf with normal txfee, then resend the utxo with a much higher txfee so it gets confirmed, assuming the nodes have enabled RBF.
anyway with more tx coming in per block than being processed, we get

With more and more of the bitcoin ledger state in the volatile mempool, it is a matter of time before people switch to bitcoin unlimited and vote for 8MB blocks or at least 2MB blocks. Alternative is segwit 1.5MB block, which wont even handle the current load.
So, I cant test KMD/BTC DEX pair... I guess I will use the KMD/USD pair for DEX testing
