General Discussion / Re: Clarification on trading engine & matching

No, equal priced orders are ordered according to their owner address.
Hm, as I'm writing this I realize this could be a problem...
Ok, but the rest of what I said should be accurate? Owner address sorting basically just means that serious traders can use proof of work to get preferential order matching treatment by finding a "better" address to trade from. Not catastrophic, just a little weird.
