You can't. Fees are dependent on network congestion and/or what people are prepared to pay. Sending last night cost me £12 for high priority, so you're being quoted a fairly 'normal' current fee, but this can fluctuate multiple times an hour. Hopefully it'll sort itself out soon as we're all paying way over the odds currently.

BTC network fees - how can i reduce them?
So the network fee on Coinbase for making a £50/£60 purchase recently was £13 on top - seems a little steep to me. Any advice on how to bring these costs down?
£15 btc fees are insane, ontop of all of coinbases other fees. Will be the reason I stop using biggy till fees come down
I bought this morning the total fee was £2.98 for the Bitcoin network fee try later on that was around 1:30am check every 5 mins u til it changes.
If you send from a wallet it usually allows you to choose the transaction fee you want to pay, but if the network is congested the fees go up so if your fee is to low it may take ages to go through or not go through at all. if you coin is on an exchange then that won't really help, you just have to wait or swallow the fee
Unfortunately thats the case for everyone due to the network congestion. It should get lower in a few days/weeks
keep Checking the mempool space, if the transaction fees are low then it should be all good to send 👍
I made an order for about $160 and got it for £8.50 fee about 11ish, about an hour later made a $30 order and i was gonna charge £13 fee so cancelled that one
Maybe if you try and send late night or early morning the fees could be a bit more reasonable
These rotten fees make small orders hard to justify to yourself(

Empty ‘Items’ - what’s the craic?
Seems I’m not the only one frustrated by the lack of items in ‘Items’. A few suggestions to select your location country somewhere on the page but I don’t see any option to do this anywhere. Am I looking in the wrong place? What’s going on?

Is anyone else experiencing LB site weirdness?

Is anyone else experiencing LB site weirdness?
Tried to log in yesterday & got directed to a Society page which I eventually realised was a mirror. Couldn’t gather whether this was due to maintenance or LB compromised. Either way, pages would crash & ‘Items’ page was empty on both sites. Still is. (Which is frustrating as I don’t want to search thru every vendor via ‘People’, I just want to view items & see what pricks my interest.) Although I think I’ve managed to make a purchase (vendor seems to have replied to msg) Is this right? Is Items empty for everyone else or is my browser super slow or something? Can anyone offer any clarity? Is it just maintenance gremlins or what?🤔
The outtage was due to some salty loser who thought he could scare everyone with very obviously fake info and DDoS attacks.
Probably some script kiddy messing with things he doesn't fully understand.
All he did was put a target on his back, it's very hard to do a DDoS attack and not get caught these days.
Like others have said though, Tor browser + Society is great if you can't get to LB normally.

Was the info he kept posting wrong ? I hope so I felt sorry for those he’s been harassing it’s been daily
Almost certainly.
I doubt anyone here is smart enough to get around the built in encryption and other systems in place to keep you safe on LB. (most, if not all, identifying data is deleted within 30 days, OR it's encrypted.)
And why would someone want to do that in the first place?
Unfortunately, because of the nature of this site and others like them, they always attract these edgy kids who think they're some sort of elite hacker. Couldn't be further from the truth though.

Bet someone found LOIC, now he member on a load of lists at three letter agencies 😂 you reap what you sow I guess …
I don't know for sure, but it looks like they're banning him manually right now.
It'd be impossible to keep him out forever, but he's pretty stupid so it isn't hard to find him once he reveals himself.

What an arse. Bet he watches waaay too much porn & prob stockpiling weapons to use on some kid who said something mean to him in school 25yrs ago
Thanks all fr the reassuring replies. There’s a lot of bad depressing sh*t going on in the World at the mo…but Biggy going dwn was the last damn straw!!!
Before the items wall loads now you get a loading thingy with the fluctuating blue circles in my image? Do you get that? If so, wait; if not, there's some issue.
You need to set your location on the top of the items wall now to see everything available and site can be very slow at times, you can keep refreshing tho.
Just put in an order also, no issues.👍

Have you tried going through ther Tor browser and using Society - its slower but works and more secure. :-)
Yes but still hadn’t sussed the ‘Items’ issue - couldn’t see any. Was still prone to crashing too
Yep. Haven't been able to make a purchase for several days now. I would say the site is under attack

Hello everyone,
I made a topic with up-to-date, non-KYC, anonymous options to purchase Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Hopefully this can help a few people purchase crypto with less hassle.

Seems I can only buy £100 at a time now on coin base….wtf ! If there is more of a crackdown , whats the alternative…..if we can’t use BTC?…what is LB going to do to deal with these changing times
Try to make a purchase and ur limit willl increase (just don’t fully put the payment threw)
I use revolut as my only bank account. no need for a physical bank account,because i have a mastercard with them,all my earnings are paid into revolut,and did not need any photo id.I buy my bitcoins from them and then transfer them to my exodus wallet.fees are really low also :)
Do I need to send to a wallet with Revolut? I've just opened an acc just to buy btc 🙃. Can I send straight to vendor?
I’ve done same w/ Coinbase - bought bc & sent straight to vendor. I do have a Coinomi wallet but haven’t used in ages. Only concern is I haven’t submitted a wallet address in case of dispute/refund. Don’t know where to do that, I’m little new to LB/Transaxe & unfamiliar w/ the proper process. Any advice from others would be appreciated
I use it ... it works but transactions are traceable back to me ... so not anonymous.
Does anyone use Paxful? theres sellers who want paypal as payment method and i'm wondering if its legit? the exchange rate is 99% on some offers that would save me a lot of money as i have no ID and being using coincoupon at £15 fees for each buy!
Yeah paxful is good to buy from just buy from sellers with lots of good reviews as some want more money than you sent nd agreed upon but it is overall good
Btw. Ive been using the plain blockchain wallet for two years without any issues. Least hassle wallet Ive seen! And since I wont upgrade my OS on my mac its one of the few I can actually use. Just sayin, cause Ive seen how it is hated upon on the net. Guess its the competition that spread this lie.
Holy cow - bitcoin is effing complicated. It's not just setting it up, it's all the fees that get added here and there. Wallet, exchange, verification - and then when you take the leap you discover a UK credit card purchase gets you a 24 hour cooling off. WTAF?
I guess it's just the first transaction but even so.
There should be a really simple guide here, step by step and list a few wallets and a few exchanges. So many searches to figure it out and going round in circles.
I was gonna recommend the thing to my mates but they won't have the patience.
Yeah sitting out my 24 hours now.

well I did it - all through Exodus, dunno if rates good or not but whatevs. Avoid Paybis, bank accepted it but Paybis rejected every time
When I try pay from my wallet its asking for a fee ,not letting me .tried all options. Any help appreciated
How much do you have in your wallet?….if it’s less than the total with fees it could throw up an error🤔
Exchanges still cant beat the price of btc I get on localbitcoinsdotcom. The only hassle is I need to order btc and go to my local national financial agency and pay a money transfer slip with cash. Thats not a prob tho, cause the teller is a very nice looking woman :P And btc is in my wallet in 3-6 hours after I pay.
Can I ask, does 'local national financial agency' roughly translate to the Union in the West or something similar?
It will depend on which country you are in. Look for the bank that is managing the most business in your region...
Seen this on one of the other platforms not sure if 100% correct but I would be wary of coinbase they are very intrusive closed my account a few months ago. They give details to HRMC depending on whether you’ve spent over the threshold limit.
Bustards charged me 35 dollars fee for sending. Was under pressure so had to accept. Good shout though
Closed my account last week too.
What do you use now? Cos this is ruining it for me right jow

Can someone help me. I’m struggling like mad, iv had my ID rejected at two different exchanges now. All I’m trying to do is order
I have the exact same problem, I open an account and send ID for verification but after days of waiting I get rejected. Really need to buy of LB but can not get around the BTC issue
Finally just got message from.coinbase that I am now verified, will try first top up in morning as I think fees should be less. Then Will make my first purchase of a Oz of hash from lb
Just gone to pay for an order and Bittylicious will only let me buy a MINIMUM of £100 worth of BTC. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm fully registered and have purchased before!
Yes it’s for everyone, it’s because Bitcoin fees are through the roof at the mo and they are trying to negate the effects. They peaked Tues and seem to be dropping but not yet close to what everyone is used to - I expect it will be several days at least until they remove the restrictions

Was canabis mentioned in the bible
I have read in many places where people claim that canabis was an ingredient used in the anointing oil in the old testament temple .
They claim that the Hebrew word Kaneh Bosem used to be translated as canabis but is now translated as calamus or sweet cane.
I have not yet seen an English version of the bible that translates it as canabis .
Could this be fake news or is there truth to it ?

I always remember an old boy originally from Yorkshire I worked with a few years ago. He told me a story about the time he went to court for cannabis charges and quoted the bible in his defence.
Gen. 1 Verses 29 to 30
[29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

I’ll tell u what. Life would be a simpler place if one off the commandments was “Thou shall not pass to the right” 😆
Moses inhaled the fumes from the burning bush then spoke to God...
Sounds like a DMT trip, probably wouldve had a little smoke on the way down!

Hi Philjgrove, it's an interesting theory and would be enjoyable if it's true, but I think it's controversial, of course the conservative Christians wouldn't go with this. I know there is a book on the subject "Cannabis: Lost Sacrament of the Ancient World" by Chris Bennet, also a couple of episodes of podcast "Great moments in weed history" on this subject :-)
Scripture doesn't condemn cannabis but it doesn't condone smoking or being habitually inebriated (your body is a temple, kingdom of heaven not to be inherited by the drunk) but it depends on whether you interpret 'drunk' as relating only to alcohol or having it be a more general term for not being sober. I don't live by the bible but I personally believe God doesn't make mistakes and wouldn't put it here if he didn't want us to use it.
Genesis 1:11
King James Version
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed

They've found traces of THC in the lungs of ancient Egyptian mummys so they did have access to Cannabis in that region.
You’d have to pretty baked to come up with that fairy story in the first place...which is a more believable scenario than it being ‘written’ by a bunch of illiterate nomadic peasants wandering around the desert thousands of years ago. So, ‘god’ doesn’t care about whether u get high, or not, because he/she/they?😂 don’t exist

Proper buying process advice sought
I’ve made a couple of purchases on LB (noob) by buying bc via Coinbase & sending straight to vendor - so far,so good. But would it be better to send bc to a wallet & pay vendor from there? Also I haven’t seen an option to input a bc wallet address in the event of dispute/refund, perhaps I’m not looking in the right place. Just want to ensure as much as poss that my order/transaction is secure. If anyone’s able to summarise the procedure or offer any advice it would be appreciated
Hi,
You don’t pay the vendor, your coin goes to LB transaxe and is held in escrow, so in other words LB offers a full transaction/resolution service.
Transaxe creates a new wallet address for every order so you can send directly to that, no problem. In the event of a refund you will need to provide your own wallet address but if you don’t have an external wallet your exchange will provide an address. I don’t know where the request is on Coinbase, normally it’s via Settings. On Bitpanda that I use, you can click to generate an address.
Hope that helps…

It does help. Thank you. I did used to use a Coinomi wallet when I bought on cannazon but when I checked recently the bc exchange rate seemed much more pricey, hence why I’ve just used Coinbase. Anyway, I’m curious as to how my escrowed payment gets released - on cannazon I’d have to log in & mark my order as ‘received’ (I miss cannazon😂 like Amazon fr stoners)
Transaxe release the payment to vendors after approximately 16 days. This allows for the dispute period to expire. Some people believe that the coin is released to the vendor once the item is reviewed (and hurry to review even if they haven’t tried the product yet so happy are they to have received it 🥳) but this is not the case. Many argue that this would be a big improvement if funds were released as soon as the buyer confirms receipt and satisfaction.
Ah yes, i thought the same. Wondered if i needed to physically mark the order as ‘received’ somewhere. Ta for clearing that up
Your order will remain on your ‘orders’ tab until you review it from your order page, but doing so doesn’t effect payment release👍
