How does this compare to cryptsy?
You can deposit/withdraw fiat.

Yes, I am, but there's a 2% "compliance" fee for money orders. Now (via the API), they have something like recharge codes - similar to the Chinese exchanges, so, it seems you can move assets between accounts.
[My original comment was "Are you sure about that?" which I deleted after a few seconds.]

So it looks like you can deposit fiat, but only via bank wire, money order, or a couple strange services. Which is still cool, but not really the more user-friendly/intuitive ach/credit card idea my mind leaps to when I hear "deposit fiat".

My money doesn't disappear like it did with Craptsy.
Rebates to attract liquidity, about time this came to bitcoin trading.. So assuming your adding all the time your fees are at +0.05%. Compared to stocks it seems in the US you're stuck about net flat for fees after the ECN rebate and it doesn't get much better than that - unless you're doing alot of volume.

I don't think people realize when you get better than flat on fees, its somewhat like going from -1% house edge to no house edge in a casino (if you're a market maker type at least..) Gotta have a decent strategy too of course :).. I would imagine in btc quick sharp trends though and in that case you're better off taking - mktmaking can be dangerous.

IMHO 0.3% is too expensive. If I buy at $100 I need to sell at $100.60 to break even?

No thanks.
