Anyone have recent experience with them? Wondering if my $$ is going to be safe or if it would be used to pay back hack victims.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I've done 5 digit trades with them in the last 30 days. everything has gone great
But there is risk involved because I don't think they have repaid the hack victims yet.

So by depositing there you are lending money to someone with a record of not paying their debts. |
You are a warlord in the outskirts of the known world struggling to establish a kingdom in the wild lands.

Right now they trade at always a 10% higher price than any other exchange because they are the only exchange that allows low-fee cash deposits. There is no way for my to get my money off bitfloor unless I send my bitcoins off to another exchange with loss.

They were hacked, cause of the stupidity of the owner by leaving a cold storage wallet open and lost about ~25,000BTC so I wouldn't use them until they pay back the people they ripped off.

This is just my opinion.
I have been using bitfloor since February. I have found that I like their interface more than that of MtGox. (I use MtGox also.)
Their customer support responds to my emails within 24 hours. They are a bit snarky at times, but given that they have consistently gotten back to me in 24 hours or less, I can accept that these guys got their degrees in computer science and not hospitality.
Also, in you live in the USA, it is easy to fund your trading account on Bitfloor. You can use LocalTill and make an in person deposit at any Bank of America, and your funds will be in your account in less that 40 minutes.
I have no financial interest in Bitfloor and do not know any of the owners, but I do recommend Bitfloor. (I also use MtGox and CampBX.com )
EDIT: This addition is being written on 4/17/2013 at 10:20 PM EST.
Bitfloor shut down. I did enjoy using Bitfloor. But, now, they shut down and they owe me money.
Guess I was wrong about what I said about about trusting Bitfloor.

Part of your money, if you mean the trading fees, is being used to repay the hack victims. Roman has made 2 repayments so far, totaling 2.7% of the total, so he still has a while to go.

Aaaand he just closed shop: I am sorry to announce that due to circumstances outside of our control BitFloor must cease all trading operations indefinitely. |

Not anymore, their Us bank account just got closed, and it looks like they are shutting down.
