BTC fees are down a bit now mate, average fee is $9.74 currently, down from $10.58 yesterday, was over $20 at points last week.

Obviously still not ideal but some good fellas here are currently working on a stablecoin payment processor on Solana which will have much lower fees.

Hi mate,

I use a plenty vape as my daily, it is a monster. Very thick clouds, good flavour, easy to use and clean and the most robust vape I have seen on the market. I absolutely love mine. I do use mine with my boyfriend though and that is a good thing as the herb chamber is huge, we're talking between 0.4-1.2g in it at a time, you have to pack with the liquid pad (included) to use the smaller amounts in it.

Other than the large chamber using more flower than other devices it is excellent. If you have any specific questions just ask.

Hi.
Cheers for the report.
As it's just me can you just draw on demand over a long period of time or does it vaporise in one session? Like have a draw leave it 3 or 4 minutes and keep going back every so often until it's used up?

You can vape it over a longer period, basically it works like your central heating. There's a temperature gauge and you pull the trigger to heat it up to what you have it set at. It then slowly cools down until you pull the trigger again. I always tend to vape the whole lot, if you wanted to not heat it again mid way through, there's nothing to stop you doing that.

You could use a bowl over as long as you like, just when it is hot it will create vapour whether your vaping or not. It would be a case of having 3 or 4 extra draws until it cools enough to stop the vapour coming through. That or you can remove the bowl and it cools faster.

Brilliant cheers.
I'll probably get one soon.

Or any cheap links ;)

I only discovered this site recently and just got my head around how to buy and send BTC.. Been hoping to order for about a week now but with it being a first order I wanted to start fairly small but the fees are insane..£20-£25!
Can people recommend any sellers who accept other cryptocurrencies with lower fees?
I haven't got my head around this site yet.. Most confusing to me is why there are no date/times on comments O_o

I keep saying this in all these topics so I don't know if Im missing something or if everyone else is but are you using 'replace by fee'? - you can set your own sending fee, as low as you want, I paid pennies to send the coin for my last 40quid order.

Buying bitcoin without huge markup on the other hand, now that's the issue I have!

Thing is i have been paying around 1pound to send a lot more say sunday when markets ok but in the green up, is still high send fee, madness, will be ok soon, but still its a bit frustrating, all good tho in the big picture.

Save you cancelling orders if you use any btc address and fill out the send form in your wallet it should show you how much the fees are,just dont send it.

It is related to the amount of bitcoin being traded at that time, I find Sunday afternoon is the best time to try.

Nah the problem is that all these so called "investment consultants" have been pushing their rich clients into investing large sums of money into btc in a double your money grift,the problem is blockchain have said screw you lot think you can ruin us hmmm take 50% fees mf`s lets see you try to remove your btc now and turn it into fiat.
Yes it screws up normal users of btc and is just another attack on bitcoin by the greedy rich who hate it because they cant control it.

Welcome to the new world!

It sucks donkey balls, these new fees

I've sacked bitcoin and using litecoin instead-obviously this limits where I can shop.

2 buys on Thursday morning (14 Dec 23) - first send fee was £23! Second one, 30 minutes later, was £16. Definitely stopped me shopping around like I wanted to, waiting for them to drop before buying again. Can anyone recommend a site that shows an average transaction fee in real time? The only ones I know show the day before's average fee.

Click on the little dial icon in the bottom left of the screen when you load the site and it gives you average sat/vB in real time, and you can examine what's in each block too.

Thank you, MR 👍. I've just had a quick look and it's still a little confusing to a noob like myself, but it looks like what I need. Thank you very much, greatly appreciated 👍

No problem mate. This was all new to me until April, and then I quickly realised that learning about it could save me money. Still barely scratching the surface in terms of my knowledge.

Yeah pretty high for me too! It’s a shame in 2023 we still have to put up with this crap!

EE x

I've been off it for a week or so now, would have loved some for Christmas, I'm too stubborn to cancel my order so I'll wait it out and hit ten bag Tommy for a day pass

Yup I just paid £15 on a £40 order

didnt know how to start own topic, but here is my stupid experience with Kraken for laughs. ok I needed to upolad id but lucky they take d license and had jpeg for wrk. i then bought btc when verified 30mns, but missed the info box telling me funds were held 72 hours. they charged me 3.50 for buying the btc to kraken. then tried to withdraw and found out they held it 72hrs. I tried to cancel at my bank but couldnt. I then waited 3 days. i then went to withdraw and saw that there is a further charge of 13.60. I need to buy more btc in order to cover it, another charge. then when i go to withdraw, I need to add a new address, every one I use needs verified by email. but by the time you've got to the email the amount on kraken has changed slightly. So after like 5 tries i finally did it quick enough to have the right receipt amount. so thank fuck thats over. Just got an email saying i must complete a survey by jan 2, or they will shut the account. provides link, go, but no survey. cant find it. so effectively they are going to take the remaining 61p in the account by default. hahaha fucking hell that was awful.

Yea I got stung on £140. £5 purchase fee and then £15.45 to send it. Roll on things settling back down.

Seems to be back up or isit just every weekend??, obviously it’s busy time of year in general but damn this seems to be the new norm

Will be the new norm, a friend was explaining to me how BRC-20 tokens are congesting the blockchain. Since they seem to be the new thing in the crypto world I don't see the congestion reducing for a while. We have the same problem in some way every few years here we need an alternative ASAP. I've had to pay 100s of dollars to move one transaction from here and its been pending for several days, blockchain explorer site reckons I'll need to pay $2111 to get it in the next few hours, not viable at all!

The fees certainly seem to go up the few times I've been 'lucky' enough to see my BTC increase decently in value! I'm all happy, thinking I've made enough for a 'free' eighth, and then lose it all in send fees!

Yes, it's crazy, tried to pay for an order and I have insufficient funds - wants over £30 fees on a £70 order!

Was same for me last week, I’d of fucked it off but it was a BB order and id already messed him about so didn’t want to take the piss any longer as he had sorted me out .

I paid 40 quid on a 200 quid order but had no choice as need carts before weekend but i dont even think the vendor has sent them,totally gutted 😔

Yep
Just had to cancel and get a lesser order.

It was for £88 something, wanted £121 I was like, naw mate. It's been like this for a while, getting steeper

I’m trying to work out the percentage , it seems people have paid anything from 15% to 37%, I think anywhere between 5-15% is pretty fair but above that is a pisstake

Yup fees are taking the piss the right now

if they changed network to bsc the fees would be 40p for sending btc, need to get them to change it

This morning I paid £16 on a £80 order.

This morning I went pay for a £100 order, fully expecting to pay a hefty whack but Xmas and all that so I was going to swallow it but the price jumped to £191. Jesus suffering fuck. Halfed the order, still paid a fortune.Really can't afford this, who can? Something needs to change. I wish I had an answer.

I dropped my fees to around the $2:50 mark, 24 hrs later and my order still isn't confirmed. What a pile of pish.

If you're looking for something gassy then you can't go wrong with The Spacemen's Motorbreath. I'm really enjoying this, great stone and the gassiness really comes through.

Thanks bro! really appreciate this, the Motor breath is very gassy isn't it

It's really good, I want to try Sweets next as I am a big Sour Diesel fan. Keep up the good work guys, your menu is really impressive.

I might’ve got sweets coming too 🤜😂

The sweets does sound delish!

Both bangers mate. Will probably have to write up tomorrow 13/11 now though as been mad busy and these deserve a decent Apex analysis 🧐

Yo not seen these guys on the wall, thanks for the link. Appreciate it bro !

I think they're fairly new, but the menu is great. I can vouch for their stealth and my order came the next day.

Glad to hear motor breath is banging mate, waiting on some to land and will write up 🥳

I'm certain you're going to love it mate. It is very reminiscent of MKK's OG Kush.

Damn that was a BIG winner with me too 🥳

Looking forward to your write up mate, interested to see what you think of it.

Your order should be with you tomorrow mate, look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Spoilers for write up - both are lush 🥳🥳🥳

Wouldve recommended TheSpaceMen too, I tried the Pink Panties first which was right up my street and now I'm really liking the MotorBreath and the Banana Sherbet even more, basically working my way through the menu at this stage!

💜💚👊🏻

Weirdly I have currently got some of the Motor Breath and Banana Sherbet. The banana certainly wins the taste competition but the Motor Breath makes it's presence felt in the stone.

I have a Q of Banana Sherbet on the way really looking forward to it, but typically it's not getting opened whatsoever till Xmas day before I cook the dinner 😁

It really does, i think theres room in my life for both though 😂

You’re the man!

THESPACEMEN
Most of my Christmas stash is made up from their strains, the one i bought most of being the Banana Sherbet.
Also hoping for a sat delivery on sat 23rd DEC from the Spacemen, rm are delivering sat guaranteed on that date and Space is sending out.
Their shrooms are fantastic too.

Can second the Spacemen, few orders from them and all been great value. Comms etc on point too.

I also suggest TheHashCollective23 -
https://littlebiggy.com/link/P8jaqX

Some of the best hash on here but always really nice weed too, solid comms and always reliable quality. Prob best weed I've had from here has been from THC23.

Cheers dude, can always rely on the my fellow Biggaz for the reccomendations. Nice one !

Anything from spaceman.
There menu is amazing and more on the way by the sounds of it.
Had the peanut butter mac ,10/10.
Had the blanco ,10/10 Had the motor breath ,again, 10/10.
Just ordered the 5 more different strains from them today & knowing them, it will probably be here by the morning.

I second that too I have got 8 strains from them and each look delicious

Ordered 4 strains from them :)

Fees are OK ATM. I paid around $450 today and the fees were $8/9 in total.

Nice, so many vendors are taking the piss with their delivery charges, 7 quid for a jiffy and a first class stamp, then you try order multiples and are charged per item but it all goes in the same package.
2 have recently priced themselves out of my rotation completely.

Yeah I don’t get the £7 quid either. Makes a bargain less so.

Think I'm gonna have to be ordering from Dr Green Thumb again some time soon, especially with the free NDD :)

$7 for a 1st class and then an extra $7 per item is a little silly when you're surrounded by Free NDDs.

Juice 💚 💦

Couldn't agree more, put me off plenty of vendors when it came to adding the postage. Removed from cart and back to the reliable and quality sellers like DGT. 👍🏼

The fees are a joke at the mo. Alternatives would be greatly appreciated

100% my go to as well. Always gets to you within 48hrs and everything I’ve had from 20 orders(apart from one but we’ll leave that) has been spot on best hash I’ve smoked on here. I’ve tried lots of others but always come back for the Letcho and Papaya punch. Shout out to the Bruce banger and Sunset. Both good cheaper options that last a bit longer. The more expensive stuff gets chewed through. His stealth is always great. Don’t listen to that prick giving 1/10 reviews.

I agree my mate. DGT is my go to also. You'll not regret an order from the Doctor. Stealth and product were top shelf and the delivery is absolutely spot on.

Wow amazing stuff!

It’s a shame Litecoin isn’t introduced as a payment method on the site. I’ve purchased from a different platform using that currency & the fees are less than £1. Hope you can order something soon 🍻

People been screaming for LTC as a bare minimum for best part of 2 years. btc just far too unstable to be the sole option, and reduced traffic here benefits no one

Or usdt would be really good, that way vendors don’t lose out on fluctuations

Yup. I lost $3,500 from one crop in 16 days when BTC tanked. Nearly made me leave LB altogether.

Just watching my money dissappear every day was one of the most depressing things I've ever experienced.

Having nobody to contact that made any sense, and having to wait it out for 16 days was like torture.

Fun times 😔

Cheers BB

Any idea why the people who run LB stick with bitcoin?

I think its transaxe, lb is looking for a new payment processor, theres a few posts about this.

Found myself in a similar situation all be it on a smaller scale. Profits for the month wiped out over a few days. Would drive anyone to drink.

Wow. Thats horrendous. I feel your pain and so sorry this has happened to you

See most of my items are on the lower end so the fluctuations in price doesn’t really effect me that much

Cheers mate, knowing my luck it'll be gone by the time the fees come down 😂

Had to make a purchase.

Fees using BTC were £221.
Converted coin to ETH, while it cost me £60 to convert, the fees for sending ETH were 71p.

This site really needs to introduce alternative currency

Yeah its shocking they haven't done anything still, I had to half my last order size and yesterday had to source some outside LB altogether.

I'd be sourcing elsewhere as well if I knew of a better alternative

I live in the scottish highlands so my alternatives are cowshit and turnips. This really needs sorting out. Buying here has become a lengthy and stressful shambles every time

Exactly, so many people dont have an alternative and ive only been lucky this once.

Its such a shame. This site is the best thing to have ever happened to weed culture in the UK, entirely let down by this disfunctional and useless method of payment

Cost me over £40 today to send £200. Utter insanity. We NEED alternatives LB. BTC is going to be the death of the platform if we're not careful...

£30 in fees for a £35 order just can’t believe it!!!!

Does anybody actually know why this is happening???? Did an order a couple of weeks ago and the fees were normal

Btc volatility has been hugely positive recently - 20%-30% gains achieved over 30 day periods. Everyone wants to fill their wellies or take profits creating massive traffic on the blockchain. Miners can charge what they want to settle transactions. It’s proving that btc is utter shit when it comes to buying stuff! ..

Thanks, kinda makes sense I guess

Ordinals (pictures stored on a token) and BRC-20 (Shitcoins on BTC) are going nuts atm too doesn't help with fees as blocks are being spammed with shite now.

Network fees are currently absurd. Hopefully, administrators will explore alternative options. GAW

We should all go on strike. Would cause mayhem at Xmas & LB would have to pull the finger out to avoid a massive loss for them.

Yep. Literally can’t afford to buy anything on here right now.

Meh. I’ll just have to crack into my shite stuff stash.

Hopefully it’ll get back to normal soon or Christmas is gonna be ruined 😟

Just paid 6 quid to send 56 on exodus,it's shocking still but best I have seen it for a while, hope it will be down to normal before long

Apparently they did say that. What a shame it hasn't happened.

I just paid £36 in fees to get 0.03BTC from Bittylicious. Then it was nearly £10 in priority gas fees to send over that amount to Transaxe. It's much more expensive than usual as it's near 4% fees for the initial transaction, and that's usually 2-3% (so not massively more), but the fees to send are usually 1/10th of that.

The fees do comedown at night sometimes, maybe worth looking at about 22:00?

Even though my order has expired its now 8 days and my payment is still not confirmed, so my money is stuck in the blockchain for god knows how long. This is supposed to be a community based on trust. Id say that trust has been violated by LB administrators who still have not implemented any number of stable crypto alternatives after over a year of these ongoing ludicrous fee fluctations. Where in the world would you buy any other product where you have to throw your money into the void like this? It is truly ridiculous. Vendors are losing thousands and everyone is getting shafted using BTC. I just dont get it

Network fees £20.56 on exodus right now (18/11/23) 😭

How are peeps checking the transfer fee/ cost?
I only know wen I’m going to pay on coin base then I see the charges

The cubes at top.

https://mempool.space/ Go on this website mate!

Thanks mate

Same here, after about a 100 times checking I see fee is in the £13 region now

Did it process mate.otherlyether has posted just under here that his stuff didn’t process.
Thinking I may take the hit to order something off lb but not if it isn’t working still after paying fees

I have BTC in coinbase, need to order of LB but holding back till the high network fee comes down

Honestly these network fees are an absolute pisstake atm. We definitely need an alternative payment method on LB. I personally took the hit this time but I really can’t continue to use LB going forward if the fees stay this high, which is such a great shame because i love LB and it’s been nothing short of a god send since i’ve started using it and i’d be gutted to go back to my street dealer, but these fees leave me with no other choice

any chance these are fixed 21st?

Looking forward some changes too. Litecoin is best option now

Can anyone here help me out at all please? Ive had my order expire after 4 days waiting after paying 25 quid fees on 120 quid order. Apparently the payment is still loading on the blockchain despite the order having expired. My wallet stll shows the funds in it but cant send them anywhere as theyve already been started on the blockchain. Have reached out to both Cryptonic and Transaxe with no response, Vendor couldnt help either but seems hes just as fuming as me with at least 40 orders been waiting to confirm for a week or more. So much money being thrown in the air here by all involved with no clear way of sorting out. This is a horrific mess for all concerned

Only way to sort it quick is to repay the fees, but more.
Go to this link, add your wallet address and find the btc transaction id, the btc transaction that's stuck.
This is the general btc transaction id, has nothing to do with lb nor transaxe.
You can pm me this transaction id and i can check if you can repay the fees if you want and i'll tell you exactly how.
Just know this if you paid high fees sending btc from your wallet to transaxe then you're gonna have to pay even more fees to push it through, up to you if it's worth it or not.

I just buy direct from coinbase and do it at night time.
Normally under a £ for a 100 transaction??

It’s been £11 network fee to send from Coinbase for a week or so. Lowest it went to was £4 on Sunday morning

Finally I have been verified on coin base after many days. I will wait till Sunday morning to add funds as you say it's cheaper. I think coin base give £5 bonus on first top up so this should compensate for the high fees
