Some hardcore nerd porn on how it all works.

Acceleration is because let's get this over with.

go beff!

Ah cool just got back to find .com not working pretty glad there was a reddit thread talking about .net or i would have not known 👍

Yeah, thanks Reddit.
I wonder why .com has "failed" and does it affect us as users? Also i remember when I discovered LB it was .org, and that one lasted for years. .com was relatively new.

That was me who had posted it. Trying to suss why I was so suspicious at first.

Remember everyone, this now means all of your .com referral links are now dead and you'll need to change them all to .net if you have them set anywhere to get referrals. Obviously use .net referral links going forward.

Thanks borg

👍

thanks for this

Thanks for the update

One Love

Thank you Borg🫶🏼🙏🏼💚

Borg rules!!

Thanks CANON!

How do we find society link without the original .net site with the link?

Many thanks canon b

Nice one ✌️
Happy 420 borgs

I love fasting! Clear my head better than any meditation 🧘🏻‍♀️
Lately I’ve been doing OMAD (One Mea a Day) and it’s amazing, such a hassle free way of living plus it makes easier to choose something healthy to eat.

The only thing that makes me go OUT OF CONTROL is the munchies 🥴 I would eat the legs of the chairs if i could ha

this is my second year on a ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting. fantastic results!

We need before and after pictures;)

a fellow Keto enjoyer i c XD

Did a ten day fast with only water few months ago..Had the occasional bit of salt and lemon to suppress appetite. Cleared pimples ive had for years, black marks on my skin. Still smoked weed during it..called it my "weed and water" fast
but wow was an amazing experience days 2-3 are the hardest, after that u get a natural body high and u feel intermittent bursts of energy which u should use to do light exercise....was losing over 0.8kg a day..would defo recommend!!
Dr Berg on youtube for more info helped me alot!

It is a very amazing experience to fast. I’ve tried it a few times. Disciplines the mind

Makes you sharper for sure but then maybe too sharp around others.

done this for years found it a bit harder latley though. id wake up 8am and wouldnt eat till 4pm to 7pm never felt hungry to a point ide suffer so didnt have any issue doing it. since covid i have been eating earllyer due to feeling starved by 1pm will i get back to old self probabby not since having covid twice now eating in general is not what it used to be like taste and texture not the same anymore.

i actually use the weed (sativa) to suppress appetite

ha! in my case it is not so. my metabolism went up. and I can now drink and smoke more than before ;) with much less bad side-effects

I've been on and off 17/7 for the last year and I feel I reached a plateau.. I wonder if I should try OMAD or one day on, one day off.. Any one have any tips on how to not stuff your face once your fasting time is up?!

My app tells me I have fasted 8277 hours! i tend to eat between 12-8pm and have lost a total of 4 stone, im not sure ive noticed many mental benefits though other than not berating myself constantly haha If anyone wants a good tracker app, I use Fastic.

I have 18 hours between eating everyday which seems to help me anyways. Best thing I’ve done is pair that with stopping all processed foods and sugar. grass fed biltong and walnuts are my snack of choice. Milk thistle, moringa powder, turmeric, cayenne and Ceylon washed down with ginger juice is definitely worth trying too.

Yeah, I do it once a year. Did do it for detox and lose some weight but recently it's been a more spiritual experience.

First few days or week are always tough. No caffeine, nicotine or cannabis makes me cranky as f......

Liquid fastin' on ol' e cuh

I would really urge anyone who is or is planning to fast to get a checkup at their GP first. Make sure your vitamineral levels are good.
A few years back I was addicted to speed and consistently went 4-6 days without food (and sleep) when one day I just fell over and woke up in the hospital the day after. I was apparently on the verge of starving to death even though I'm a tubby motherphoenix, so stay safe friends!

I do it daily, love it feel clean

I’ve always naturally kinda fasted. Never really had breakfast or lunch. I do have coffee or tea so break my fast I guess with the milk. But I only really eat my evening meal about 7/8pm and then might snack again with the munchies till about 2am. I’m not a massive eater tho and could probs do with eating more.

i fast maybe every 2-3 days for a day sometimes 2 , longest i ever fasted was 9 days. also i mainly only eat one meal a day (Unless im toking) Munchies make it way to hard too fast XD

I went through a phase a few years ago of doing three day water fasts. Always felt very serene on the last day. By the time it came to actually eat again, I wasn't that bothered!

I generally don't eat until about 5pm. Still overweight due to munchies. But have halved sugar and doubled cardio and weights with really impressive results.

Just starting Out my own fast, just water only for the last 48 hours.

Going to try it once a week (for the health benefits)

No bad side affects so far, just not able to eat socially can be a downer when your on it.

How are you getting on? I’ve been intermittent fasting (16:8) for a while, always tempted to do a 48 or 72 hour fast, so like a full body reset

Do it bro.. its amazing..but must say first 72 hours are usually the hardest..after that your body starts using its own fat reserves more efficiently.. so would suggest 7-10 days if u can.. everyday after the 3rd ull see benefits and increased energy levels..

Wow! That’s a long one haha Do you experience much muscle wastage in that time? Burning a bit of fat is never a bad thing though haha

I stopped for now, but honestly I felt much more healthy when I was doing the fast and need to jump back on or at least reset my diet yet again… too many Greg’s tuna baguettes at 10 am during the week plus weekend take away has ruin my diet.

Too much processed foods.

The fast is an easy way to reset body and diet and just great for the mental.

going to go for a half day fast on Monday and steadily creep up to a 48/72 hour fast over the next couple weeks

yeah that’s the downfall of our diets these days, everything is just so easy to get our hands on. Access to food constantly, I always have a bit of a relapse at weekends haha deadly case of the munchies 😂 I will most definitely do a 48 hour one soon I think, I seem to get on quite well with 16:8 and like you said you feel healthier

after my fasts i usually make a big pot of spicey Chanko or ramen and have it for days after XD

i like to brake fast with the least appealing healthiest foods i can get my hands on, basically their day in the sun

48 is right when it starts feeling a wee bit psycho. like you're going to eat a side of beef or nothing ever again.

that said i find the hardest part is compatibility with others and meal times

I agree, a big portion of connections with other people is around dinner time. Hard to miss.

Just post any of the contests or giveaways here :)

This is a great idea please contact us with your reference token for a bump!

This is a great idea please contact us with your reference token for a bump!

carnivals, just leave piles of cards in interesting places its actually a fun game. knotting hill carnival

- First and easiest is target irl people you know who smoke

- Post LB links on social media, don't be afraid (items, threads, reviews etc)

- Create social media accounts and direct followings to LB

- Distribute paraphernalia and leaflets with reference links embedded in QR codes etc

(Well done to anyone who collected a Weedologist lighter at any canna events!) 💚

If you are unsure where to direct people you could:

Generate your own code from my page and use that as a landing / create your own welcome page with posts and help / direct to a big well known shop who will support them / create a dynamic QR code so you can change the destination link and vary where you send people.

I would also welcome any fresh thoughts or ideas and hopefully we can keep growing this community together 💡

Sell access to littlebiggy:
most people would see this as more valuable than a medical license: no doctors, surveillance, and ratings on all the products.

If you sold a a login with your ref code embedded you would get an upfront payment and the referral code stream.

Hey. Interested in this and was just wondering what your strategy is for token gating access to a site that is ultimately free to sign up and use anyway. Do you offer additional incentives if using your nft?

Could work a lot of ways. Support would be a nice thing to offer to noobs especially in their non-english native language but also with item selection and bitcoin help. You're basically making a premium tier that lots of noobs would like. You could also make a rebate on their 1st purchase since you will be able to see that in your ref code transactions.

How do you go about doing that?

Cheers

You can token gate it on an NFT, there are tons of platforms for this. Paragraph is a good one.

I would post to any community where users can verify its legit. I think that's the primary challenge, LB seems to good to be true.

Any chance we can get a guide or chart that shows how many referrals you need to get to the next % increase?

Example:
1 referral per day = 1%
3 referrals per day = 2%
6 referrals per day = 3%
Etc...

I've messaged you 3 times on 3 separate occasions about this but I never get a response

Thanks

We don't track referrals by day and have limited access to data in the current program. This does give us a chance to treat people individually though. We are always happy to look at an any individual's progress and help them grow. Generally speaking to make it to 5% your commissions should be in the $1,000s of revenue per month league.

The best way to get an increase in the meantime is the same way you have twice already: contribute ideas that help the program. This thread is a good place for anyone to do that.

Thankyou for the info

A site like this should have time stamps on posts/threads ect & possible option to be paid in a staple coin would do wonders. I’m a relatively new vendor & the volatility Btc brings is hurting atm.

Just review your favourite vendor on trustpilot with your link to their page. Use the share button on the top of the page.

Great one, please dm for a bump!

So, I've been thinking about the paraphernalia distribution and I came to a realisation about something in particular.

The lighter, and in particular the Clipper lighter (or, at a push, Swan) with its removable pokey bit, is a covetable commodity. It's easily lost/stolen/forgotten but it's most importantly also refillable. It could pass through many, many hands, most of them stoners, most of them curious about the chosen logo and QR code. Ever moving, potentially, is the Clipper, with people scanning its QR code out of curiosity, sitting around in beer gardens, parties, or just smoking with a mate.

Your QR code.

No-one refuses a free Clipper, and who can have too many lighters? The guy that steals this one will probably have too many, but will he scan it too...?

Print will wear off quickly, but vinyl wrap can be printed with whatever people want, even potentially vendor logos and QR codes, then they can be put on in bulk. Maybe include one with orders? Your market is out there. Niche country? Even better. Marketing that could be clicked on by dozens, all generating income for you through codes, or, maybe no-one clicks at all?

Doesn't make sense.

We as humans process the data we receive from around us in a logic way, an algorithm process the data in a "one-way" logic.

Shortly => An algorithm is created with a specific purpose, humans on the other side can interpret the information based on experience and personal mind structure.


Deep learning and neuronal networks are trying to achieve what humans can do : Interpret the data received based on the past experience and the actual context.

Cannabis was an essential part of medical treatments in Africa and later in Asia long before western civilizations were even established.

Ancient Americas as well.

once again africa was the mother

"hemp possesses, in small doses, an extraordinary power of stimulating the digestive organs, exciting the cerebral system, of acting also on the generative apparatus."

baby.

Well done, no good deed is unpunished with some biggaz but you are surely appreciated.

People only understand what they understand, usually that means themselves.

Canon borg provided some more information, this might help:

A new borg is born! Or as we say "forked". In this case forked from cleanup borg, whose general function is removing harmful content from little biggy.

Proof borg isolates particular content, parsing the words that cleanup borg reads to find provable, trustless data.

Proof borg's (littlebiggy.org/4821348) 1st objective is analysing contests for provably fair results, thus preventing manipulated outcomes.

Despite the particularly computative nature of this borg, it's still all of our words that remain it's heart.

1st objective? Sounds like there is more coming..

Yes, terrible people understanding themselves wishing to make this a better place for new vendors and biggas. We should hang our heads in shame 🙄.
As you can clearly see a majority of the community that has engaged actually totally agree about the wall. I would say that democracy is probably not on your side here.
Infact, I think only 3 people have had anything negative to say. 2 of those biggas joined in the same month of the same year and were supporting the other's abstract point and had both coincidentally been offline for 3 days at time of writing so, that means 2 people max in my eyes.

liz truss, democracy, post modernism and paranoid accounting. bigga please. this borg announced actually helping and doing something for us. if you care about the topics wall then it should be obvious that contests get lots of attention from the algorithm, they are starting to dominate the wall and presumably bs ones were proliferating. and we are talking about the front page for this site.

what are the choices they have here? they could be lazy and kill all contests (basically the reddit mod move) or even lazier and let the wall be filled with people trying to enter a zero barrier to entry scam.

this is why i gave you the link to the wall bot. if you have some ideas great, but let someone (something?) that's trying to help do their job.

Ad hominem attacks, invalid arguments, building a strawman.
It's clear you have some dog in this fight, I just wish you would be upfront about it and say, "Sorry Biggas, the wall is perfect and not going to get any better"
It should be obvious from the thread, that people think there are better priorities than comps.
The choice i suggested here is that if somebody doesn't sell an item for over a year, the item should disappear from the wall way before this for a more recently listed item.
You are trying to position this as merely a binary choice -"the wall stays as it is, or it is filled with exit scams"
You know as well as I do that the wall can be fixed without making it susceptible to exit scams.
I see you ignored every point about the fact that LB bots paying lip service to change, but rarely actually makes any.
It's true isn't it? That's why it feels pointless to actually message the wallbot.
I echo what Polly says, if the site doesn't want meaningful dialogue about how to improve, then just say so and we won't bother.

It would help if borgs worked with vendors to make contests provably fair instead of just deleting everything.

Everything can be made easier with a bit of dialogue.

100% , but it's quicker to just click delete 😐

It'd be really good if there was a "wall borg" that was as diligent as you say you will be on this subject.
There are vendors items on that wall that have had no reviews in almost 400 days. Given how easy it is for the owners of the site to make anybody they like invisible to the wall, I find this incidence really puzzling. I hope there is no favours involved in that?
On the last reviews of the particular example item I am talking about (there are many more items like this on the wall) 3 of the last visible reviews in the last 5 from over a year ago are saying the item didn't arrive, vendor ignored them and comms were really bad.
Meanwhile, some new vendors wait and wait and wait to get an item on the wall, but never end up there.
I think this is provably unfair, if I'm really honest.
The dominoes are falling in Europe - Czech and Germany are legalising soon. We will be at the hundredth monkey soon.
I love this place, I really do but the reality is that more of these kind of places will pop up as decriminalisation advances through the West, somebody will copycat the idea for a lightnet weed escrow service with a server in a legal country - and at this point it would not be too hard to change a few simple things to improve the model we have here.
I think the site owners really need to listen to the people who use this site and actually implement some changes that people suggest.
A good example was months back when everybody lost loads of money on Truss' and Kwarteng's historical mini budget disaster. Somebody started an initiative and hundreds voted FOR change to currency listing to £'s so we aren't all at the mercy of the exchange rate as well as btc fluctuation. Not a single fuck given by the site owners.
I don't think it will take alot to make this place hard to better.

the wall bot is here.

As I read it “diligence” was the issue, not existence. But thanks for the downvotes anyhow🤷‍♂️

sorry but its one thing to see you consistently talk out of your ass and another to read accusations that come from the same place.

i do understand how tea leaf reading all day can lead to this though, the borgs do not give out a lot of information about how the wall works and the people that don't like outcomes are left to speculate.

on the other hand this seems pretty difficult, maybe impossible, search engines never disclose their algorithm because they don't want manipulation.

borgs have made quite a few posts about how things work. you're a class act polly, (no retributive downvote underscores this ;) ) and you care about this community we all love. its obvious these folks stand on their head to give users a voice and to do things right, there must be a better path for you than this.

So, just to be clear, we as the community shouldn't make suggestions for improvement when we see an obvious conflict in priority when it comes to talking about fairness?
I think we all realise the nature of this place means no such thing as 100% win. It's not amazon, but suggesting improvements to the fairness in how the wall works (as well as the contests) doesn't seem to me to be objectively unrealistic in any way.

1. It was about fairness. I didn't engage an abstract discussion on post-modernism as a response.
I didn't say that there should be no standards, so in my eyes that's a bit of a strawman. It's OK to point out that some things are fair, but other things aren't right? Both things can be true. To what degree must we stay on topic? Especially as I ask why the diligence on this thing, but not on the wonder wall.

2. That as it may be - it's not really me that the wall issues effect - but i can see it from a mile off personally. It is new vendors and new buyers I feel it is unfair on which I am sure the site owners will hope are making up a significant majority for their own continued prosperity.
My suggestion is that if an item hasn't visibly sold any in 370 days, it probably isn't much in demand and a newbie may fall into this trap by not reading - it should probably disappear before this in place of a more recent listing (just in my opinion)..

You do know there is a Borg for ideas & site innovations don’t you?…(in fact there is a Borg for an awful lot of things). LB constantly invites Biggas to get involved and that’s the point- LB pays lip service to change but rarely makes any despite volume of voice. Why is it wrong to point that out?

I doubt anyone loves LB more than I do but they either want a meaningful dialogue or they don’t. I’m fine with it either way as long as I get to buy my weed😎

Bit weird….

It's funny i only ever see coldspurs cheering on the borgs. they love these cold bots rather then this beautiful community.
all your points are mute when you need to start insulting polly's life choices Polly has always been a wonderful voice for the community rather then you coldspurs spending your life being Nelly negative

Yes, I wish the bots were colder, like the code that runs bitcoin. Open code is what this place needs more than anything else.

Thanks pal, not quite sure what rattled coldspurs but they clearly needed to get me off their chest😂😉

If one doesn't get at least some in here, I think one is being too nice.
Still, I killed man with kindness and upvoted that link.
Wonder if they find the wall helpful for finding the things they want?
I don't. Still, bookmarking pages is pretty easy.
(Insert generic uplifting remark)

This is speculative but, I think the site may be in $ for 'legal' reasons. The servers are US based.

I agree that the owner could do better with prioritising changes, top of that list for me is all these fake vapes, or spice vapes that need testing and removing. Maybe even temp banning from the items wall for the vendors, as a deterrent.

If a vape is confirmed fake because the original brand doesn't even manufacture them in the first place, or there's obvious errors like spelling mistakes,.fake QR codes, why aren't they being removed?

i would like a wall filter tested/untested at the very base level

Great sentiments, very well expressed.

Frankly I’m stunned by how much LB gets its Borg knickers in a twist over a few competitions being “demonstrably fair” instead of focusing on those things on the site that are “demonstrably unfair”.

Maybe “proof borg” will be a breath of fresh air 🙏🏽, but not if they are convinced that competitions are a real issue….

Agreed…

Why the sudden fuss over this when there are other more important changes to make. (Which have been mentioned on here for years) Never heard anyone complain about competitions. Lol

I agree with Polly, bigger issues onsite to be looked into than fake giveaways, this is a start, hopefully more positive changes are made soon. 💯

SOTL

Honestly at this point it feels like they make us use $ purely out of spite I can't think of any other possible explanation now, can't just be lazyness when they have time for this sort of thing. Maybe they didn't like us asking so much.

the item writer they are currently building, it lets you set several different currencies.

Well its good to see it hasn't been ignored/forgotton over the years, I'll take back my comments as soon its implemented :)

We randomly select numbers for our giveaways using random.org, we also stream it on YouTube Live for everyone to see. I'm happy that something is being done regarding giveaways / contests, nice one proof borg.

SOTL

The borgs picking the wrong fight,sort your wall out,fix the pricing from usd.i mean you got someone who's contributing to lb with giveaways to biggas and its getting jumped on.Theres more important stuff that needs fixing

Smallest wang wins?🤔

Where can i claim my prize🪱

Nice work borg :)
