some banks like barclays and some credit card companies dont allow for cryptocurrency purchases. Check whichever exchange youre using for whats allowed

I opened a monzo bank account and use coinbase. If you're fees are amounting to more than £20/month use coinbaseONE which is 19.99/month no fees. I've had no problems

I think it's to do with Nationwide, and many banks. I used trust wallet, (with HSBC) that allowed 2 payments of £150 to bitcoin. Went to make another and they asked for ID so I had to find a friend to buy btc from.

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.

This! V new here but have experience from a while ago, too user friendly brings noisy crowds...

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

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.
