Yeah, I started using the Bitshares client after the Openledger hack. Luckily I had not unlocked my wallet during the vulnerable period of time, so I was fine. 

I was wondering specifically about depositing or withdrawing fiat directly to/from Easydex  (not bitUSD for example).  Is that easier than Openledger for example, or still a work in progress?

My recent experience withdrawing fiat from a centralized Canadian exchange was that it took 3 weeks to get my money, so I would not mind avoiding that step altogether.
