hey chimpy! welcome! All signed for NDD is just being posted straight through the letterbox. I've had a few now =) hopefully you enjoy LB I've found it to be a really cool community with some absolutely beautiful products! stay safe man

Cheers Bubba, had one land from tgt today, exactly that happened!

I like the way it is coz being hard to navigate makes LB stay the size it's become. If you had apps and making it like Amazon then this place would be shut down in days an never to return so what would you all want, LB the way it is or make it so easy a 10 year old could navigate it?
I'm with you that it can be a pain to find things but it's not alot to go through for what we get.

Couldn’t agree more.
If anything, make it harder to navigate hehe

it's a pain but we love it.

Agreed. I stay of ggl too... use duckduckgo, much better results

Great point

I think is perfect like it is now.

Too much friendly and more dumb people will show up, an app? That's a no no from the start, security issues.

If I was an admin of LB? I would leave everything like is now, not worth improving what is working perfectly.

An App?..............Have u been smoking crack?

would be nice if the stock counter for vendors worked

A master search would be amazing
So I can search for strains I like :)

there is no search function but

google "item or seller name"+ little biggy

and it works quite well

Thanks I do that now too

Thanks mate

I've put this in other places but;
items page
Make sure you have your country selected at the top "deliver to"
ctrl+f and it allows you to search that page
Depends what computer you're using, if you are using tor it has a search page option top right, and you can also find the same function on the phone tor browser.

This has been know and 'a thing' for the last 20 years, where have you been?

Agreed. Site could seriously do with a search option.

i agree, i would like to see a dapp for this place, an app that runs on a blockchain that cant be taken down.

An app can't run on the blockchain, an app still needs a database and a platform, an app based on blockchain can use the blockchain to "store" some data.

An exemple? The wallet you are using to store your BTC. The wallet itself is not running on the blockchain, just saving and retrieving information from the blockchain.

no morty, here ya go

https://coinsutra.com/dapps-decentralized-applications/

I repeat myself: the app itself is not running on the blockchain, will just save and retrieve some data on the blockchain.

Is that secure tho?

What more exactly?

Just thinking if the data is stored outside of the blockchain then could it be easier to access

Wether that be encrypted gobbledygook i havent a clue, in fact i have no clue about any of it but it’s interesting to gain some useless information from time to time lol

As a developer you must encrypt (by using standard encryption protocols) any sensitive data.

Is irrelevant if the data is inside or outside the blockchain, you can store non encrypted data on the blockchain as well, so it's up to you as sw developer to guarantee the safety of the data

an example? the wallet you are not running to store your btc, trustwallet.

Maybe I'm not explaining this clear enough.

You still need a "package" (for Android named APK, for Windows named .exe and so on), you are NOT running that app on a blockchain, programmatically speaking is not possible right now, that app just uses the blockchain to store small chunks of data exactly like the transaction that are stored on the blockchain, please do not confuse what blockchain technology is.

Another example:

Even if LB would use any blockchain to store/retrieve data (which I highly do not recommend for security purposes!) the site still needs a platform to run, and if any gov agency wants to shut off the site, the data saved on the blockchain will be still there, but inaccessible without a platform. (ofc this could be used as a backup, but again, is a mess, you must deal with a lot of small chuncks of data and trace every block to retrieve the data)

ts not your output its your input, try reading wikipedia on this

"DApps may run on top of distributed computing systems such as Ethereum or Bitcoin. Decentralized applications are stored on and executed by a blockchain system."

Obviously any program needs a stack of components, you are missing the point.

A dapp is indeed server less and can not be taken down.

Okay, I'll stop here because you are also trying to make funny of me, but is clear that you have a leak of knowledge about this topic.

If you quoted Wikipedia, read this part:

"DApps have their backend code running on a decentralized peer-to-peer network, as opposed to typical applications where the backend code is running on centralized servers. A DApp can have frontend code and user interfaces written in any language that can make calls to its backend. Furthermore, its frontend can be hosted on decentralized storage such as Swarm or IPFS."


Aha, please go to tell this to the people who have worked on P2P networks, maybe they missed something...

not at all and i appreciate you conversing with me.

dapps are new and not well understood and i really think you will enjoy taking a closer look at them. this site lists tons of dapps

I really think that we are trying to explain two different things.

I'm saying that you can't have an executable program running (so being compiled and interpreted) directly on the blockchain.

Thus that's why I'm saying that what you asked is worthless.

I know you can use an application to communicate with the blockchain (an wallet is the best example) but this does not mean that your app will be impossible to be taken down.

Had 2 last week, no issues.

Hi there, last week had 3 no probs and 2x normal 1st class that took 3days, still awaiting 2 from DIuk which is strange and had no communicationback from them, So id recommend { JJ} although think he's just sold out but worth checking, {Gentlemen Dealers} great and {Radar Breader} all for for NDD.
{God's connect} was 1st class post 3days

Had a couple of NDD’s in the last week and both arrived on time

JJ and Hootan (although I think Hootan has stopped ndd) are all good ndd services and I have never not had a ndd turn up the next day.

Bit of advice, be careful, as some vendors charge a lot. Its a £6.70 service, but some vendors charge $15. Depends how bad you want it the next day!!

I believe the geographical location of the sender also has a huge impact. For example someone posting from London to location X and another posting from Ireland to location X (X being the same location) you will find London post out to be a lot more faster due to depot facilities and also a few other factors.

I had a seller on here who drives 9miles to the post office in another town as they found this to be faster

I've found 1 in 20 to have turned up 2nd day with the rest turning up Next day.
It's not as such the pricing off NDD that bothers me because if you want it enough you'll pay it, it's the policies off vendors who offer NDD delivery. Some of the cut off times and concept of what NDD is, is warped.

Same boat mate I’m in N.I the post from England is pretty slow especially during COVID, this ones got me though..ordered a NDD on Sunday, still no show, it’s not the fact it hasn’t shown what fucks me off is not being given the tracking so I don’t even know where the issue is. What I know is every other recent NDD from legit or otherwise has been next day..so now I’m sitting here 70 odd quid down, and it either wasn’t sent when it was claimed or seized. So paid premium got anxiety, none the wiser at this point. Streets aren’t looking so bad anymore..

We posted to N.I this week and it took 2 days 1st class. Its getting quicker. God knows if it stays that quick. Hope so!.

That’s when you know the problem is not the system itself..what you get is pretty much now a game of chance. Your BB sample got to me in 2 days for the record mate bang on

I'm about £250 down now from deliveries not arriving for the past 4 weeks. I've given up now on "covid delays". Something isn't right and I'm calling it quits with this site.

Fair play mate all is not well I will say that. The streets were never ideal but you’ll rarely pay for something and not get it. Yes there are always issues in postage and they won’t always be issues with vendors but communication, trust and reliability have not been great. We had that already and I’m the same mate going back to those unpredictable contacts because the alternatives aren’t much different at the mo, just more expensive and not the level of control as a customer you’d want from essentially a retail site

Its certainly not guaranteed that's for sure. I find if its next day before 1pm then all good but have had multiple orders from different vendors taking 48h. Ps, some vendors need to have a word with themselves on their next day rates!!

Not just their rates but what constitutes a next day delivery service, TGT are terrible for this. 9am cut off and then it's not sent untill 2 days later.

I’d suggest if so they are not in the minority

Welcome back :) my NDD the postie has been putting on door step ringing bell and waiting for me to collect whilst they are stood at bottom of path and signing it for me.

The other day I was asleep and woke up to one through the door so think if there’s no answer they would put it through. Probably trying to reduce parcels going back to depot at the moment and reduce unnecessary travel.

Enjoy whatever goods you order :)

Short answer: yes, it helps.

I have PTSD and over the years nothing has helped apart from weed. First year I tried downing a bottle of vodka every night just so I could pass out with no flashbacks. So basically fucked my physical health as well as mental health. Quit drinking for good. Then tried xanax on and off for a few years, which helped but only short-term - xanax only works for a few hours and then you either need another one or you suffer even worse MH than before taking it. Tried different forms of therapy, punchbag, anti depressants, meaningless sex, healthy eating, exercise, self-sabotage, CBD oil, music, martial arts, lavender oil, meditation... tried pretty much everything, basically. The punchbag helped actually. Anyway, only weed legitimately helped me sleep, and helped me relax before falling asleep. And over time, I must've formed new neuron pathways in my brain, because during the day I became way less symptomatic as well, much more relaxed and way less aggressive/ jumpy/ fight-or-flighty, even though I only smoke late at night after everyone's gone to bed.

It definitely did help me to get through some issues after i have been abducted and tortured by a secret service of a certain middle eastern country. i'll spare you the details.
thankfully after returning to europe in one piece i had access to cannabis. i smoked on daily basis, several times a day, for almost two years. it helped me to slowly approach all the trauma i sustained and handle my PTSD while maintaining daily routines with the family and children. i couldn't go to the psychotherapy at that time.

sorry the story is not as funny and for laughs, but i can 200% certify that it did help me with my head.

i realised it only afterwards just how much it actually helped me to avoid a tragedy in my own life and helped to be more pleasant to be around for my loved ones.

For me personally, anxiety and aggression was always a problem for me when I was younger. I would get really anxious out of nowehere for no reason, even around people I knew since I was a child (still happens to this day). I had my forst smoke of hash at 14 and wasn't too interestes but the second that joint of weed hit my lips when I was 15, it was like everything clicked.

I quickly figured out when I was stoned I didn't worry as much and didn't get paranoid or anxious around people. I didn't have so much energy and it really toned down my aggression. I was never aggressive toward people for no reason, I just couldnt process my emotions and it often led to me kicking a heavy bag on my own.

Joining martial arts and discovering marijuana literally changed my life. I understand that the stereotypical lazy "stoner" does exist but it definitely doesn't apply to all smokers. Having said that, I have also abused cannabis many times in my life and as I get older I'm getting better at not doing that as much lol. A joint doesn't solve every problem but it definitely helps anyway.

Sorry for the lengtg. Great post topic though! Hope everyone is well during this mad time.

bigg up

Clinical depression. Don't want to turn this into a sob story but I've dealt with "not wanting to be here" all my life since I was a child. I wake up crying a lot and want it all to end. My thoughts and regrets overwhelm me a lot and I struggle to get myself through the day. With weed i can function daily, hold down a job and wake up in the morning with a plan for the day and not a plan to end it. Sativa is my friend. I hate the ignorant stereotype of the "lazy stoner" and "monging out" that we're all painted with. Sure, it's nice to chill in the evening with a nice indica too, but the motivation I get from sativa strains ENABLES me, not the opposite.

I am glad you are here Chopper and thank you for sharing! Always here for talks and debate.

Stoners simply dont do anything thats not worth doing...which is subjective?

This is not laziness it’s prioritising lol

Definitely ptsd anxiety depression

better than pills
