This is good to have the official endorsement.  Such a server could operate 
without anyone's endorsement, but the official endorsement should help 
establish confidence especially in the early stages.  Also having 
OmniPay's continous bid and ask on the server would give people 
confidence that market orders (especially large market orders) would in the 
worst case be executed at OmniPay's prices, never at some very 
unreasonable price which sometimes happens when a market is thinly 
traded.  This kind of support would be especially valuable in the early 
stage when the server is first set up and hasn't established much liquidity 
yet.
