A lot of ancaps view his natural law theory as very useful, but misguided when you get down to specifics. He had funny (and possibly inconsistent) ideas about contracts. He thought fractional reserve banking was antithetical to reason and natural law, and so contracts involving it were invalid. But there are so many ways to formulate fractional reserve banking in a valid way that Rothbard's position seems strange.
At the very least, his ethics was incomplete. His theory doesn't protect children from being sold by their parents. Parents are allowed to not feed their children and let them die. While this may be "economically ethical", you need a system of belief which subsumes natural law in order to move past economic ethics.
Hoppe retains some weird ideas, but he's a much better philosopher imo.

debate me on your little fractional reserve aside. thought you wouldn't be called on it but you were.
the fundamental notion is this and it was always addressed:
current state of the fractional reserve contract is illegitimate, there would be no legitimate form of that contract because it would mean that a fractional holder would go into inescapable debt for life, presumably there would not be the state inforced theft that is "bankruptcy law"
