LakeBTC is an ripple gateway now, and Bitstamp has be a gateway for long time ago. ( http://www.xrpga.org/gateways.html ) The coindesk article says "Lets Users Bypass Bank Transfers with Ripple" ( http://www.coindesk.com/lakebtc-users-bypass-bank-transfers-ripple/ ) How is it done to bypass the bank? If I deposits/withdrawals cash/bitcoin with ripple on Bitstamp/LakeBTC, is it really that I don't need to have any contact with any bank? Does anyone tried it? how about it and how much the fee? |

Ripple uses a Hawala-type system of value transfers between users and market makers in the network. One takes the burden of counterparty risk by accepting an IOU from one user for a certain amount of money, and gives its cash equivalent to another user, and deducting that user's balance in that currency. https://ripple.com/ripple-mm.pdfThe legality of it though, is something I don't have any idea about... |

I've used it and it works. I don't remember there being any fee at all for Ripple deposits or withdrawals, although I can't be 100% sure now.

Its all free - I just checked LakeBTC fees and I knew Bitstamp was free for Ripple withdrawals already because I use it all the time. Its not a single operation though, you withdraw from Bitstamp to Ripple and then Deposit to LakeBTC from Ripple rather than transfering directly from one site to the other. |

Never can. You always need to exchange your fiat money into some kind of digital token, the most simple way is directly buy bitcoin at exchanges. I don't understand why do you need to first exchange your dollar to XRP (involve a bank transfer anyway) and then use XRP to buy bitcoin  |

I don't understand why do you need to first exchange your dollar to XRP (involve a bank transfer anyway) and then use XRP to buy bitcoin Transfers to the EU are expensive for Americans. In order to do a wire transfer to Bitstamp I would have to spend about $45 or so. If I could transfer to a local institution via ACH I could do it for free. |

Most of the time I trade on localbitcoins, only occasionally on Bitstamp |

Sure, if you deposit via Ripple, do not need any banks.
Ripple is not the third-party payment like WU, UC, but a network payment like bitcoin.
