hi, i use lakebtc, on and off for more than one year, i think i can talk sonething about this thread.
lakebtc used to be good for personal user, until they launched the lakebanker system,
now lakebtc is not appropriate for personal users, especially small buyer/seller.
as far as i know, most of the payment methods listed on lakebtc website, the real processor are lakebankers, so i become one of their lakebankers who help handle requests from other users and earn a fee, and the fee is not cheap for payment methods like paypal.
but last time, my paypal account was closed since I handled too many requests of paypal
so i no longer deal with such requests, although there are still so many reminders with paypal, neteller, skrill etc, i always ignored them.
I saw somebody upstairs said that local exchange is more lucrative, lol, are you serious? unless your country has big exhcanges like bitstamp, coinbase, otherwise,
local exchanges will suck you more bloods, higher buy and lower sell, refer to localbitcoins.com
summary, if you are big buyer/sellers, or frequent traders, or local retailers , then lakebtc is still very suitable for you.
