Very good news!
Withdrawal fees also very low from the look of things (0.02 minimum withdrawal, 0.01 Steem in fees).
Also Steem / ETH pairing is big news. I think ETH will start to intrude on BTC as the main volume currency for pairings this year. Plus it gives a faster route between Steem and any ETH ICOs. And potentially vice versa once SMTs launch.
