0.75% taker fee for order quantities that are executed immediately
0.60% provider fee for order quantities that are queued and later executed
Gox has 0.6%, BTCe has 0.2% and Bter is free for some coins.
Maybe you should think on make it cheaper to get customers.
Cheaper than free? Please, do
see here, Mr. Peanut.
MPOE-PR, your point is correct in general, but would only be applicable here if Bitbox were providing some measurably stronger service than its competitors (the way MPEX does).
Bitbox, from the look of it, is just-another-exchange. As a liquidity provider, I'd go on their exchange if they gave me some incentive to do so. As it stands, they give me only disincentive by being the most expensive place around.
The bitcoin exchange marketplace is competitive, and only getting more so. This is going to drive fees down over the long term. IMHO bitbox isn't going to stand a chance unless they cut their fees at least a factor of two, if not more, at least for high volume traders.
Or do they offer some special sauce that I don't know about to warrant the high fees?
