localbitcoins is probably one of the better exchanges I have ever used, It utilized a form a escrow so that the person who selling you the coins actually has to place the coins in trust with localbitcoins, while buyer and seller confirm the transaction. Though they do charge a fee that is fairly high and as well demand that you initially receive the coins into one of their wallets that based on their site, instead of them being able to be sent directly to your wallet, this annoyance make up for the extra layers of security that a site like local bitcoins offers. Now if this new platform could work on the same peer to peer methodology, while at the same time enabling the end user to use their offline and hard wallets to deposit the said coins, this will be an excellent alternative to many of the exchanges that exist today. Just my two sense.
