INITIATIVE : ALTERNATIVE CRYPTO
‘Neutral’ description of the initiative = an alternative cryptocurrency given the volatility of bitcoin. Alternative crypto currency’s to be debated and put to a vote.
FOR
Although I wouldn't hold your breath, it's been requested several times. Here's a post from over 18 months ago that suggests the admin had already agreed it would be integrated.

I know init, it’s a shame really I originally thought it was a community based site but it’s just not the case given the fact vendors and customers are all shouting from the roof tops we need an alternative but the approach seems to be grim and bare bitcoins volatility
yeah been watching this a everyone has been asking for a new payment processor. this seems the farthest its got they are looking for devs
For.
Although I've seen this all before. An old vendor Super Hans tried extremely hard to get Litecoin/Monero etc introduced a couple of years ago. Had the backing of all the vendors and biggas alike and it never happened.
It does seem like jackwright might be making some headway, but many of us that have been on here a while won't be holding our breath.
Good luck though buddy. It's probably the single most important improvement to the site, and is long overdue, so I really do hope this time it works out.
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Yeah I’ve got that the overall response is For but it’s literally not even worth it given as someone already pointed out initiative Borg ain’t been active in a while.
Yeah I think our only hope is someone picking up the project, I’ve had a quick look at what it entails and although am literally studying that issue at the minute I think it’s probably best someone with experience take on something like that.
Hopefully though someone sees the opportunity and takes it!

Chances are they’ll probably need to rewrite Transaxe. If it’s hardcoded to support Bitcoin it’s not going to be a small job to change the payment method.

Although we have been through this loop many times before without any meaningful dialogue from the Borgs. Ho hum...lets all pretend we are robots, such fun!

Literally all they can do since their, most-likely at this point, ex-devs have clearly abandoned them to 3 year old processes. Which nobody quite knows how to work on or fix.
One day Biggy will just fail. Mostly because of it’s clearly hideous technical debt.

Totally get that, I was gutted when I had to ask my old dealer when I seen the price of the bitcoin fees but I can’t justify paying upwards of €15 just for a fee.
It’s not as if it’s happened before the only difference now is people are going to find alternative sites which sucks as LB has been awesome.

Yes think alot of us are in the same situation. Looks like I'll be digging some old number up to ring then till this is sorted. Feel for the vendors on this site.
I for one love this site but it’s becoming harder and harder to utilise the brilliant products on here and community due to bitcoins instability and proven track history of being unreliable on this site.
It is also getting to the stage where it’s becoming too expensive for vendors and profits are being eaten up by transactions fees alone.
Instead of little biggy being that website everyone remembers as being “imagine how good that could have been” and continue to expand the community by allowing better accessibility for payments.

Surprised no one has suggested BCH instead yet. Seems like the likely one to move to if fees are the issue.

I dont think the admins of this site give a toss about anything except hiding topic posts that call out whats going on tbh .
Hope they can at least sort this out . Its not exactly dificult to do is it lets be honest here .

I get that feeling, it’s I’ve just noticed that this topic isn’t updating on the wall regardless of votes.
FOR, how long do we have to put up with paying ridiculous fees while there's alternatives. Obviously couldn't care less. How many times has this been talked about
The fees for customers obtaining a joke from the administration need to be addressed. Might need to another alternative cryptocurrency.
Initiative borg last online 417 days ago.....
no reply or anything from any borgs or admin on any single one of the dozens of topics on this subject this past couple weeks, yet posts exposing dogshit fraudulent dangerous vendors like gamechanger will get immediately removed from the wall
used to be so passionate about the idea of community and gradual improvements to the site via an alleged democratic process of initiatives but that's long gone for me now
we are all pissing into the wind but it's really fucking windy out and the piss is just going directly back into our faces, you can't stop pissing though because you've been holding it in for an age
yes i totally understand that perhaps in the backend they don't have the resources to implement currency changes but they should at least use the topic wall manipulation in a productive way and actually pin a topic about this to the top of the wall permanantly till a solution is achieved, even if that solution has to be bought, paid for and implemented by biggas and not the borgs

Zero-Intiative Borg at this point.
That was when their last decent dev left them. 400 odd days ago. Nothing has been done since then really.
They need to open source the whole platform. All sensitive data aside.
But that alone is probably 6 months work. To go through everything. Upgrade all the dependencies. Fix all the broken ones. Clear the technical debt.
About a year on from starting that. We are looking at then maybe considering how to approach adding a new payment system into Transaxe. Which has obviously been only set up. From literally the ground up. To support Bitcoin.
It’s like working with the old MySpace. It’s just oldschool code on oldschool code.
Not many of us left who even understand those processes. Those approaches.
But this is where it is.
If they open-sourced the fucking code it’d be fixed in 2 weeks.
Plus all the other shit that pisses people off.
But no. It’s someones little earner. Doesn’t take a huge team to run a site like this.
Runs itself. And that’s the clever thing about the site.
Just needs modernizing. Christ. If it was worth building in the first place and it’s still nearly working. Then why not spend some of the considerable cash in improving the quality of life for your users?
I mean it’s SAAS 101. You keep users by reducing barriers to entry. The less barriers the customer has to get their outcome. Exponentially will your sales increase as convenience and novelty combine into one beautiful package. Where you can just buy some fucking nice weed without needing a PHD in nerd-dialectics to do it.
Removal of new-user barrier to entry = growth.
I wish I could do graphs. It would seem obvious.
Literally losing thousands a month, Biggy are. Potentially. 5X what everyone on here earns with a modern platform in place.
You’d double your money in 6 months with a couple of half-decent devs working on it.
Fuck. You could just have it as a full-on API. Then anyone could build a frontend for it. Just have the keys and you are away. Biggy as a service.
But without the source of the service itself. There is no easy way to add payment methods.
Not without middleware for the middleware. Which is where it then starts getting silly, and hacky, and people start losing money, or it’s all backdoored to fuck.
It’s a Transaxe core change. The only people who should be responsible for that stuff is the core Biggy team. They need to change it.

I really hope they switch up and offer using monero and eth bitcoins got its usesn but. It's a terrible coin for the job.
It baffles me that there's an escrow service presumably raking it in but something as simple as a password change on transaxe takes a week. I feel like it's one person working part time so that being said there is no chance of more currencies being added.
Its a shame because I can only see bitcoin getting worse for fees and like others have said leaves LB exposed to competition.
Transaxe have been good at times, such as taking the hit in the high fees back in May (not sure if they have during this November spike).
I just hope we get to use monero and eth soon.

I have a post up looking for a dev in this matter. It's been up months with no replies. I spoke to admin, I have the requirements they say is needed before testing. The Admin are more than happy for alternatives if they can be proven. Anyone know how to write smart contracts in solidity with immutable logic?
I would try using wrapped trx stablecoin. It's shielded, so private, and most of all stable.
If you have the skills to do this I can help fund the project.

I'm the same. I've even had a look at what's involved and it's way above my pay grade. If I can get a good dev, I can probably get the mods and run it. There's obviously a monetary incentive through the fees.
Whatever is used has to integrate with LB too. That could be another road block, even if you had the system.

I’m gonna try get me head around it over the next couple of weeks for my own development but will also try to keep that topic relevant somehow am sure someone here has the skills for such task.
Appreciate your input and what you’ve tried so far, so it’s not so much LB not wanting to allow it it’s more it needs someone to implement it.

It’s probably not a complex job. But where is the Transaxe source?
Impossible to fork this and work on it. That’s the issue.
It’d have been done ages ago if Transaxe was open-source.
Trivial to use the existing platform to add new payment methods. If we had the source to work from.
Been a software dev for the last 20+ years. Couldn’t see the repo for the Transaxe service. So impossible to make core changes.

22 pounds for a 200 pound transaction. That’s where I draw a line with this. Love this site and the vendors but there really should be an alternative token not just because of this. Had one crypto/bank account shut down due to bitcoin issues also.
I probably make at least two transactions per week here but I won’t be with these fees. Maybe once a month. Hopefully a resolution which suits both sellers and buyers can be found. This really should be a priority considering how it could adversely affect sales.

I'm not an expert in Blockchain by any means but isn't this what the bitcoin lightning network was introduced to fix?
Could LB not integrate lightning network into its payment system? I'm sure last time I sent via lightning it was like 30p or less for the transaction and didn't involve anything complicated

Crazy netwrok fee as vendor was charged $10 on $149 whats happening on blockchain? GAW
FOR i think the only way they will add new payments is if the Vendors went on strike, especially the big vendors on here, if that does not work nothing will, but i think thats what should be done for the greater good, if it means after all parties either save or make more money in the long run it surely is worth the sacrifice.
I dont know how LB hasn't got multiple crypto options by now? I'll order on here when BTC fees are low but when they are high i have to go eleswere.

Currently my $$$ is going to be going elsewhere until fees make lb viable for me again. I'm a wee bit sad about that as I've been liking the site. I expect both customers & vendors will give up in the interim & find / use other markets or locals. It's a shame as it's a great community here and would seem relatively straightforward for a dev to add an alternative payment option which would help solidify the future of lb and mean it'd not shed its users on a crypto hiccup.

Surely you can implement a selection of payment methods, and we as buyers could use whichever is most convenient at the time
It'd be good for buyer, vendors and the Big Biggy.

I think you have failed to see what it is people want here, I’ve read down your comments, it’s not about the removal of BTC at all it’s about alternative.
Which turns out has been in the pipeline for a while just not picked up, I’ve seen blockhead is looking at running USDT alongside as an alternative.
I would prefer to pay in bit coin but at times like this I would also like to save what money I have and use a cheaper coin to allow for a more accessibility when it comes to payment and not just one.
For example, I normally buy your hashes which are banging and at a great price, so when I would finish ordering what i would normally order I would treat myself to one of your hashes. I haven’t been able to do that as the fee is replacing the price of the hash, neither of us gain anything apart from bitcoin.

Aye I don’t know as much about BTC as you, but there’s a way to have discourse without coming across as a condescending prick. You’re no better than anyone here, just because you’re a reputable seller it doesn’t mean you can talk down to anyone.

I mean if you disagree that’s fine but why post this? It adds nothing meaningful and you haven’t a real reason or arguement.
I’d love for you to elaborate, especially as a known seller on here whos business may be adversely effected by high BTC fees.

The issue is biggas fail to mention btc went up by 24.8% in the last 30 days .. and of course day traders are trading the shit out of btc hence the high fees/ delays and etc..
You inconsistent biggas only complain when btc fees are high but are all quite when fees are cheap and normal..
If you are FOR then Name one alternative coin that can match BTC…
Btc sorted us out for years and now cause the coin is pumping and fees are high everyone wants to jump ship 🤦♂️

it's not about jumping ship at all it's about having other options so we can continue to use this market when BTC fees render this market useless which has been over a week now, i can list off about 10 vendors that want other options like LTC or monero, if we were using LTC i would have about £500 a year extra to spend on here that isn't lost in BTC fees!
and a simple solution to your problem would just be to put in your manifesto that you only accept BTC no other coins, all orders in other currencies will be cancelled
we can't expect BTC to get more stable in the future, i can only see more frequent pumping and pisstake fees at this point amongst a few weeks of "Stability" here and there where the fees are still an absolute pisstake tbh
you probably noticed my lack of orders as well, i'm back to street dealers now lol

we can't expect BTC to get more stable in the future, i can only see more frequent pumping and pisstake fees at this point amongst a few weeks of "Stability" here and there where the fees are still an absolute pisstake tbh

The thing is you can receive your funds in an alternative coin with low fees and faster transactions for the buyer, then swap it into BTC if you wanted BTC.
Hypothetical. You get £150 worth of ETH for the order and the buyer has only paid £152 total to pay and transfer funds for the order. Once funds are released to you , you can swap the £150 worth of ETH into BTC if you don't want it in ETH
If they paid using BTC that £150 order would cost them £180 , but you will still only get the £150 worth of BTC in the end. It costs the buyer an extra £30 just for using BTC. Not only is this not sustainable for the buyer but it's also not good for your business as it puts people off buying when fees are this high.

Why is it not reliable?
You can swap your ETH into BTC if you didn't want the alternative coin the second you received it, I don't really see the issue if you can simply swap it?

So I have to already wait 16 days for escrow to release the Money then I have to do another transaction to change it to BTC?..
you’ll have to do your own research why it’s not reliable when the creator can literally turn back time and reverse transaction or freeze funds etc..

Almost all crypto apps have swapping features built in, it takes seconds to swap thousands of dollars , you literally input the amount and click swap. It would take less time than the message you just typed out, yet saves your customers huge amounts on fees.
The few seconds it takes you to do the swap would be far outweighed by the increase In orders you would receive , and money you would make, if an alternative coin was accepted on here.

Increased orders for how long?
What happens when Police start to pressure the creator of ETH to freeze funds or reverse funds or wallets etc?
Bitcoin has been sufficient from day 1 and still is.. yes it’s temporary high fees but that’s only Temporary.
I think everyone is getting too comfortable buying drugs of the internet.

An increase in orders for ever hopefully, fees are higher than other coins even when they are normal.
It's not like it's a one off, this happens every few months with bitcoin and roughly once per year to the current extent. When fees are normal they are still higher on BTC compared to others. If bitcoin continues to increase like people speculate it will, then worse is yet to come for fees.
You can simply swap your coin to BTC, but having alternatives with lower fees cant be a bad thing. Maybe even an option for the seller to choose what coins they accept. No one is saying get rid of btc, but having alternatives can't be a bad thing.

BCH would be a real choice for this website however to replace or sit next to BTC for payments. BCH fees are tiny in comparison!
BTC has a potential successor, it's called Ergo (ERG).
Not saying it would be right coin for this website at the current time, but just putting it out there for awareness in case anyone didn't know about it already.

I don't know enough about it to comment, I did ask for more info but you mentioned I would have to do my own research.
If vendors can choose what coin they accept, they accept the risks that come with the coin they choose. You can stick to BTC and others can choose what every they are comfortable with accepting.

It's not just about the fees I would much prefer to use a privacy focused coin like monero. There are chain analysis companies tracking every bitcoin payment
Thanks. “You” well that’s not true, check my short post history. And as I stated I have had other issues with bitcoin that have nothing to do with fees.
Nobody said jump ship, if you read the OP - we want an alternative option, which I don’t think isn’t reasonable for a variety of reasons? If we’re talking of dumping BTC completely then yes, then this should be a different discussion but that’s not what we’re talking about at least to my eyes.

It’s not bitcoin fault that your sending btc directly to the site or for whatever reason your bnk wants to close your account..
I have trust in the admins.. they sorted us out when shit hits the fan and they have a reason to sticking to btc..
I hope they can see past the riffraff and continue stick to only BTC..
because for many reasons one being BTC creator is Satoshi.
Someone mention FTT.. I don’t know if they taking the piss but that’s a known Scam coin.
Another person said USDT.. the creators of USDT are the biggest crooks.. check out coffeezilla on YouTube and see what he thinks.. his probably the biggest crypto scam buster..
All coins have flaws the most reliable is BTC.
For all your questions just Watch the videos from Bitcoin University

update
seems these days more people are starting to see the value in a btc alternative 😋
we are making progress and want to thank the biggaz that are helping, particularly the devvy borg who are making significant changes to little biggy's infrastructure in order to accomodate a solana based payment processor.
we still need more devs though, this is the hardest part of developing securely and anonymously. thank you to the biggaz making introductions (especially budzinho), we are grateful and will reward every success.
we also mention that full time dev positions are available in addition to the projects we list, anyone successfully completing a project is eligibile.
every bigga is hurting with these btc fees and we get that, its why we see an opportunity but if you could not use this thread for your grievances we would appreciate it, we're trying to move things forward. 🙏

Nice to see some change in the making. Just out of curiosity, why a stablecoin? Would it not be easier to just implement Sol as the payment token? Don't mean to be negative but it's very difficult to create a stablecoin that will continuously maintain it's peg. Is it an algo based stablecoins you guys are developing?
I did see that Circle have just released their EURO stablecoin which afaik is on Solana Chain. Could possibly be an idea to use. Would be like USDT but without having to pay ETH gas fees.

the new euro backed stable coin is a good suggestion and we are keeping an eye on it's progress.
would it be viable to add monero (or, honestly, any coin with decent privacy and transaction fees) as an alternative in the meantime? the bitcoin transaction fees have gone utterly mental recently, and it's scaring me away from the site.
is it actually tether? if so how will they avoid addresses being frozen if the wrong attention ever fell on here?
Sad day indeed given it was what BTC should have been. (Could have been).
It's time will come though when people say fuck paying $XXX's in fees bcoz that is frankly ridiculous for the oldest crypto going on 16 years now...

Understandable given the number of blockchain halting episodes in recent years...although I do genuinely believe Solano to be a more robust and dependable chain now...although still nowhere near as decentralised as Cardano....which along with low fees now has a number of stablecoin options
mmm 'blockchain halting' or centralised ownership may be a better term for it.
It's shady af in my opinion, and, BCH is well.. bitcoin. Still decentralised, just the better version with bigger block size and vastly cheaper fees...

Yup. Its supposedly sacrificing the decentralisation for far higher TPS....but the fact it can be turned on and off doesn't sit right.
Can't wait to see the Cardano network properly battle tested at scale...been using some Defi Dapps and have been impressed so far.
Bitcoin Cash would be a nice option here though

Are you actually creating a new coin from scratch? Would it not make sense to at least switch to a currently existing coin that resolves some of bitcoins issues? At least as a temporary solution until your new coin is finished.
Thank you for working on a fix for this :)

tether is centralised and they can freeze addresses. There is a reason no illicit market uses tether, there are too many cons and barely any pros

Ireland is like a graveyard and the UK is almost as bad.
This should of happened ages ago and now just feels like we are in a perpetual nightmare.
If they wanted different coins they would of implemented them by now. I would say at this rate we have a few weeks left of trading till we go bust.
And all the while the buyers keep throwing money at a new vendor and constantly promote that vendor without regard or any sense of loyalty to others it is just typical of the society that we live in. Where has the peanut vendor gone??
Why is no one calling this out??

It's as simple as this really, there's teenagers setting up websites for their 'NFT Projects' which have all crypto payments implemented including BTC, ETH, ADA, XTZ, SOL etc... If LB really wanted to utilize another chain or layer 2, it would of been sorted a long time ago.
I see a lot of people going on about privacy concerns etc, yet majority are using a CEX to on-ramp/off-ramp so your privacy is already out the window I'm afraid. Even BTC, to people that know what they're doing, come on it really ain't hard to follow the coin on-chain.
We are buying bits of herb at the end of the day, LB is pretty tame with the products on here so I can't imagine feds are gunna be spending resources and money to track down JimmyBois half oz he bought for the weekend. Obviously maybe a bit different for vendors though I appreciate that.
Is anyone actually able to clarify what the issue is? Is it something to do with the escrow settlements which is causing problems for implementing? Tbh it would be cool for th escrow to be a SC and just autonomously act out.

Very good points mate, most of which could no doubt be answered if the Borgs would only talk to us in more than riddles.🙄
Personally I suspect that the payment processor transaxe.com insists only on btc and to offer an alternative means a departure and a whole new processor which is blowing noodles.
Just a hunch 🤷♂️

Yeah the cryptic riddles and communication could be a bit better!
Must be something like that, all I can think is that it's moreso to do with transaxe side of things. But then again speaking as someone who has very little knowledge on coding, even I can create a SC that receives payments, distributes under certain parameters/conditions, creates information functions etc.. It'd be simple ASF don't get me wrong, but I really don't think this would be hard at all for someone that is clued up on it.
You could probably even copy and pasta the template lol

I find it astonishing that they're happy for buyers to go elsewhere. I use another platform now and pay in LTC, £100 costs me about £3 to buy and less than 1p to transfer which is completed in less than 20 minutes. Its a real shame as I love LB but I'm not willing to pay through the nose for the privilege when there are very much comparable market places, that accept 3 or 4 payment methods.
08/02/24
08/02/24
The more payment methods the better in my opinion but i get how hard it is to restructure these things.
Pity the evil overlords wont let you guys just use Fiat payments would be cool if i could just buy using the good old British pound.

Yet there are other clear net sites that do just that- give the option to pay in £££...why are they not bothered I ask myself?
Any updates on this?
I along with many others, no doubt have had to resort to other sources that accept other crypto (ltc) with practically no fees, I love LB but when I can save a small fortune, I'm spending my crypto elsewhere.

Yesterday, I encountered a challenge when cashing out £3000 to a recipient. The fee associated with this transaction amounted to £350. This fee was a result of the accumulation of various payments, and as a vendor, it's becoming increasingly challenging to manage these costs, especially considering the site fees. Balancing the need to absorb these fees while also keeping costs down for customers is proving to be quite a complex task. GAW

I've reached out to all borgs, urging them to bring the issue to the attention of the administrators. If each of us sends a message, it could potentially strengthen our case and demonstrate to the administrators that significant changes are necessary for the survival of both vendors and the community. The increasing difficulty posed by fees from both the customer and vendor perspectives needs to be addressed, and collaborative efforts in highlighting these concerns may contribute to a more sustainable solution.

Life extension and reversal of the Epigenetic Clock. Good or bad?
Hey, I dont know if this has already been covered on here but it's something I find fascinating since I was introduced to Prof. David Sinclair by the Joe Rogan experience (#1234 and #1349 if you're interested)
I have attached an article about a small study that was done in California. The study only had 9 subjects and no control arm so I dont think we can take it TOO seriously. But the results, quite frankly, were astonishing.
I'm not going to try and explain how all of this works as I'm sure I'll butcher it but here's a key paragraph from the article.
'For one year, nine healthy volunteers took a cocktail of three common drugs — growth hormone and two diabetes medications — and on average shed 2.5 years of their biological ages, measured by analysing marks on a person’s genomes. The participants’ immune systems also showed signs of rejuvenation.'
To me that's pretty crazy, right? And from what I understand there are a couple of effective substances/medications available for reversing the epigenetic clock than were not used in this study.
And if you pay attention to Prof. Sinclair he believes that it is well in the realm of possibility that we could live anything up to 80 years longer in the future.
But what happens when we are all living til we are 180 years old? Will we have enough resources? Will the planet be able to cope with the inevitable mass increase in human population if this is the case? I mean, we seem to be struggling a bit globally as we are.
Just thought it was an interesting topic and would love to know your thoughts.
Happy Monday

Thanks just that genetic measurement of age is an eye opener. Seems once you can do this you can measure everything we do against it.
Hey Han, yes indeed it is an eye opener. From what I've read that will be exactly the case. We should be able to mesure how specific habits etc. directly affect the epigenetic (horvath) clock. Exciting times for sure!
Then hookup an AI to make favorable decisions for us, then... It seems all paths lead to the same place :()
Yeah, a dirty dystopia where the "elites" AI our buttholes to oblivion. Im not down with that shit!
Why? shouldn't we all be asking why we want to live longer, rather than going along with that reactionary action from deep in the psyche of 'Yes ofcourse I want to live longer!' and I don't care why I do........
To evolve we pass on our genes and die. An understanding of genetics shows no other purpose for life. Old age, indeed any age beyond reproductive usefulness is a human conceit. The body degrades quickly like a flower wilts but we use our superior intelligence for methods to extend our time. It’s all hubris.

But I had what should of been a microdose the other day and had to change my plans. These shy mushrooms are very potent

over the place but Love, forever changes, always features in one way or another. It’s an insanely beautiful album.

Hi Rocketdogronnie
Excellent choice my friend!
I once spent an entire mushroom trip with 3 god friends listening to a single tape over and over for 6 hours: side A was Forever Changes and Side B Da Capo

I think since I’ve started my psychonaut journey music genres have dissolved!. I spent my early 20’s playing drums in hardcore punk bands and metal and was bound to certain genres….
Now I can listen to pretty much anything along as I like it…. I’ve only just come to terms with how good toxic was by Brittany spears 😂😅
But for when getting high I love the Lofi stuff you get on YouTube and dabbling in different genres!
Another awesome comp DrShroom 🤘✌️

Classical music for me does wonders depends if I'm down or up. I like some dramatic orchestras like Mozart Lacrimosa for when I'm melting on the couch or something uplifting like
Tchaikovsky - Swan Lake

Ooops! I've just submitted a "correct" entry as opposed to giving thumbs up to those Biggas who submitted things I like.
So bear that in mind when you see my entry for Pink Floyd's Piper at the gates of dawn - my number has already been allocated and is is 26!

432hz is the Pythagorean scale. There is geometry represented in this scale.
Modern music is pitched at 440hz. No geometry to see here 🤔
The best way for me to understand it was to see the difference, feel the difference.
I invite all to do the same.
As Tesla quoted "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration."

Always reminds me of my youth tripping on green micro dots and the whole room and everything in it including me were breathing along with the music and as the tune progresses and develops all the colours in the room became brighter and every time I hear it now my mind recreates a bit of that blissful state 🥰

Hey Doc
I've been eyeing your microdose capsules.
I'll place an order this Winter once I'll have finished my current stash :-)
Now I've been giving thumbs up to some of the entries below but didn't submit one myself so here we go.
I could submit endless lists of 60s psychedelic bands but Pink Floyd's "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" album is my pick for this competition!

To be honest there are a gazillion psychedelic bands I could have gone for but I have been listening to Syd's output over Halloween.
The Piper which is the album which incited me to pick up guitar so it will always hold a special place in my heart.

These truffles look amazing ngl, I have a strange music taste i love listening to old school garage and DnB i also listen to rock and every now and then i listen to abit of liquid DnB (amazing while tripping) (also T2heartbroken is the best song of all time) (let me win :)
Jazz definitely. Made a whole new playlist just for it with a mix of fast and slow songs. It just feels good to single each instrument being played
'Red Forest' by If These Trees Could Talk, and 'All Is Violent, All Is Bright' by God Is An Astronaut. Instrumental post-rock which is really good for zoning out to and getting lost in the tunes.
Nice comp, those truffles look awesome. Cheers Doc!

In the event that all 59 spots are filled then the first number out will determine the winner.
In the event that less than 59 people enter, then as the balls are released in chronological order, the first ball that matches with an assigned entrant number will determine the winner.
There is a very small possibility that a lotto ball won't correspond to any of the entry numbers. In this case we will roll over until the next UK lotto draw.
I find this method fair, impossible to rig, and easy enough to be set up and verified anonymously.
If there's anything, please let me know 🙏

Nice competition!
I love anything that can let you drift off. At the moment I’m particularly enjoy vaguely wistful and euphoric ambient music….stuff like stars of the lid and winged victory for the sullen.
I also like a bit of laid back jazzy noodly stuff like do make say think and their album & yet & yet.
For me they’re great for the mind to wander off to another dimension.
I find some stuff that is specifically trippy enjoyable when I’m not tripping but kind of does my head in a bit when I am.

Don't know if this competition has finished but at the moment I'm getting into synthwave. I especially like Juno Dreams (Exhale is epically euphoric while high)
I definitely wish to experience these! I wanna put an entry in to have a good psychedelic experience with my friends! We love listening to DnB and Garage while tripping and to share love and spread positivity to all the psychedelic users!
Absolutely anything calming an relaxing when tripping. We spent an evening in the late 80' s listening to with or without you by U2, literally just that song. From memory we set the speakers up on the floor and took it in turns lying between them.
My favourite music for tripping would have to be anything pink Floyd and the Beatles but specifically the later stuff! Thank you
Props on the giveaway, this world needs more love
I don't know if this is still open but with regards to tripping I like early Pink Floyd, Gong, Doors. Maybe some theta baselines as well. For getting high in general it's anything goes, though my affinity for hip hop, late 80s to late 90s, usually Erin's

for the come up i always put on stumpwork by dry cleaning. there's something about that album. the track gary ashby really makes me giddy. For deep dives with shrooms it has to be music for psychedelic therapy by jon hopkins everytime. it really forces the doors in my brain to open up for surgery. With Lucy it's always an album called "imagine this is a high dimentional space of all possibilities" by james holden. it really drives the intensity while i'm cycling on L. best feeling ever. i really wish i could do that forever and ever.
DrukQs and Selected Ambient Works II by Aphex Twin are my go-to for trips although any chaotic experimental drill n bass will do for me so Aphex Twin/AFX, Bogdan Raczynski, mu-ziq, Squarepusher…
Pharoah Sanders – Love Is Everywhere - ABC Impulse! (1974)

Sorry I'm not very good at this!! Probably aim, stars on 33 mix. Or a bit of early unkle.
Early tame impala is great for tripping for me, first 2 albums or just absolutely any shpongle. The "nothing lasts but nothing is lost" album in particular.

What are your thoughts on dimethyltryptamine (DMT)?
I’ve never experienced it myself. In fact, I’ve never taken a psychedelic in my life! However, after a bit of research I have to admit it is quite fascinating.

Super facinating article and coincidence or not ;-) we are just finalising a way to bring DMT to LB. Due to the nature, power and the respect we have for this medicine we most likely won't list this item just yet. We are trying to find a way to offer this safely...but yeah its a tough one. What's nice is you could micro-dose what we have in vape form...but how do we make sure that everyone is safe for those who for instance don't listen to us and take it slow. We ourselves have had life changing experiences with this medicine but it is surely not for the faint hearted and requires a level of respect that one might only find when working with master plants like ayahuasca. We would love to heare your thoughts on how we can safely provide this community and option to experience DMT
Ps. We also advise to start with the lighter psychedelics like mushrooms or lucy ;-)

Hi Psychonauts
DMT and Mescaline are two psychedelics which I want to try.
I have a friend who knows his psychedelics (he grows his own shrooms) who got DMT off the dark web a few years back.
He described some of the experience and it was truly cosmic. He had a friend watch over him while he lied down after smoking some.
Maybe if you sell tiny amounts in limited quantity per buyer (each buyer can only buy one dose at a time only)?
Either way I can only praise your hesitation out of concern for biggas health and safety.
But I'm really intrigued by those machine-elves, I had similar encounters with heroic mushroom doses.

I have been so curious about DMT, I would totally give it the respect it deserves.
I will be keeping an eye out!!

But then having said that…
DMT just isn’t for everyone..
Honestly got no idea how to go about selling something like this…
It wouldn’t even be something massively profitable as it only requires a tiny amount for a breakthrough experience…
So it’s more about spreading this drug/knowledge but then how do you ensure it doesn’t end up in the hands of someone who should never go near it.

That’s a very good question. It’s definitely a tricky one.
There seem to be a few countries that still have a more relaxed approach towards DMT. Either selling it freely online or making it available for those who use it for religious purposes or medical etc.
We could probably learn a thing or two from our neighbours across the pond, especially Australia where it’s very popular and statistically used the most compared to South America and Europe.
https://www.behold-retreats.com/post/5-meo-dmt-legal
In Canada, where the substance is not controlled heavily, 5 MeO DMT can be purchased, though it cannot be shipped out to many of its neighbours like America where it remains illegal. According to Canada Justice Laws, 1996 Bufo is not controlled at all, meaning one can buy and sell it freely.

I made this comment on another thread;
For me, there is the world before DMT and then there is the world after DMT.
Mushrooms, acid, peyote - all powerful things, but DMT pulls away the veil and you know - you KNOW the world is not what you think it is anymore.
Completely echo Thirdeye's sentiment that it's not something to be played with.
It's 2 years since my last experience, only just now seriously considering going there again; not because I'm scared of it, more because i know I'll need to give it the time and respect to integrate the experience.

I agree. I can feel it calling out to me! However, I need to experiment first with others such as mushrooms & LSD before I can convince myself it’s time.
I’d like to try it. Not sure how to get hold of any in the U.K. though.
I’m gonna be starting shrooms again soon, mostly for medicinal reasons relating to mental health, but I’m aware DMT is supposed to be on another level for the overall experience.

Dmt is a medicine, its terrifying and also comforting in the same time. I feel like is a snippet of a non conceptual world that we are part of but can't comprehend or understand in our human form.
Absolutely! I found this study in particularly interesting -
https://www.europeanpharmaceuticalreview.com/news/178880/major-study-on-dmt-shows-promise-for-depression/
I will venture out to this ‘other world’ soon, as it really does sound magical, and of course be respectful.
This might sound strange to some, but I’ve always felt like what one may be described as an ‘old soul’! For some reason even the idea of a bad trip doesn’t frighten me. I’d take it as a life lesson!

What's the difference with LSD?
I didn't enjoy that in the 90s but a friend who did was trying to talk me into DMT about 15 years ago saying it was like an out of body experience.
I didn't enjoy that in the 90s but a friend who did was trying to talk me into DMT about 15 years ago saying it was like an out of body experience.
LSD was first synthesized by Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann in 1938 from lysergic acid, a chemical derived from the hydrolysis of ergotamine, an alkaloid found in ergot, a fungus that infects grain.
Whereas, DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine) is a hallucinogenic tryptamine drug that occurs naturally in various plants, such as Psychotria viridis or Chacruna. Some people call it the “spirit molecule” due to the intense psychedelic experience.

It’s not something to be played around with.
If someone has no prior knowledge on our “reality” taking DMT could be an overload of information and revelation and it could negatively affect the user.
However if you treat it with respect and dose appropriately for a first timer then it will be nice to you.
You can learn things which you would have never learnt and you can bring those thoughts and ideas back into this “reality” and help benefit yourself and mankind.
There’s also many factors and variations to a trip which we don’t fully understand yet.
I will try to expand a little later.

I agree with both you and Johnnyh2.
I enjoy listening to peoples experiences on podcasts etc. It seems most bad trips tend to be from those who had no prior knowledge of the drug, or those who abuse it.

How long dose the trip usually last & I take it u need to be in a relaxing environment to enjoy fully?

Safe environment is definitely advised. I'd also highly recommend getting into your chosen reclining position before you kick off.
First time i did it was in my mates kitchen. The plan was to take a couple of hits and swiftly walk the 9-10 steps to the sofa in the lounge;
2 steps into the middle of the kitchen and it was a case of "nope, we're going to lie down right here, right now"
On a non breakthrough hit ( so the ones with "only" visuals and sound effects) I found i was still vaguely aware of having a body - on a big one? Good luck with that...

From my understanding the trip lasts averagely 5-15 mins. Some can go on for longer, it just depends on the person and dosage.
Definitely in a place you feel comfortable and have a sober buddy with you.

How do other vendors deal with loads of inputs on the blockchain?
swap it to BCH and fees are virtually 0
How do other vendors deal with loads of inputs on the blockchain?
Just tried to move some BTC and it rejected the transaction for being too large :/
Even if I split it into smaller transactions because of the amount of inputs I have i'm looking at over 4 figures in fees :o
Any of the more experienced vendors got some advice?
P.S. WE REALLY NEED MONERO OR LITECOIN HERE. BOTH ARE CENTS TO SEND

Hi hans we don't really have a good answer we are quite new ourselves usually we pay 3 figures in transactions fees but its a low 3 figures what wallet are you using if you don't mind us asking,
4 figures is quite high well to our knowledge it is anyway if you can spare a few days waiting for the transaction you can lower your network fees and it reduces the fees massively on most wallets again we dont know alot but 4 figures in fees is terrifying for any vendor it must take a massive chunk of profit,
If you would prefer to discuss over chat we don't mind we are happy to help in any way, we couldn't agree more with the comment about more crypto options being available on this site.

Has anyone got another cryptocurrency app other than coinbase that works well with minimal fees?
Do you buy from there too bro or just use it as a wallet? I used to buy from them until they got blacklisted by Lloyds I believe so my card got blocked!
I still use Wirex as my wallet but buy from Bittylicious these days and the fees can be laughable.

hash after brexit
Curious, why would it be harder to find?
I would say not, just because it's not subject to any taxes or controls. Its black market.
I guess anything that comes through mainland Europe into the U.K. is now going to be harder to ‘hide’ as everything will likely to have declarations on commodity codes/taxes/duties etc (like if you ship from the US) so anything that looks like it isn’t what’s stated is going to get pulled and investigated. Hopefully the queues will be so bad they’ll just let everything through!

Can you get through a night without getting high?
Hi, noob to this what seems to be haven here. I've been a 'pothead' since I was a teen, smoking every night without fail for years. My love for the herb is strong. I was wondering if anyone in the Little Community struggles like myself to get through a single night without getting stoned? And if so do you find that it negatively impacts your life at all?
I've been a 'every day' smoker for about 20 years and I find it beneficial to have a few days off now and then. Not only to lower the old tolerance but to remind myself that I'm in control of my cannabis use, and not the other way round. If you're struggling without weed this might be a good idea. Just make sure you're eating properly and drinking plenty of water. Going for a run in the evening can be helpful too as I find it helps me fall asleep more easily when I'm on one of my 'breaks'.
Cheers for your insight my dude. I would love to take breaks, go for runs, eat 3 good meals a day, meditate etc... Unfortunately I find it hard to keep will power at maximum and give in to the thought, smell and sensation of being high usually along side my cuppa coffee in the morning.
Just for peace of mind, you're not alone my man. I've been a heavy daily smoker for around 15 years now and have gone through some ups and downs in regard to sweet mary j. I struggled to sleep for literally years and then cannabis was like an instant fix. Problem is I began to like it a bit much and it started affectinfng me negatively, in my opinion I was abusing the plant. I still smoke everyday but I went from 1.5 to 2 oz a week down to 14-18g a week, it's still not great but it's a happy medium for myself. I smoke and share regularly with friends, I don't drink very often (once or twice a year) so for right now this is what works for me. The days I don't have anything left to smoke I have to tell myself not to let it get to me and I tend to exercise to take some of the edge off. I'd like to just be a weekend smoker at some stage but I'll get there in time. I used to feel bad about the stigma of smoking weed or being a "stoner" but the reality is that cannabis just clicked with me and I'm still fully functional and contribute to society and if anything it's like medication for me so now I have no shame about smoking. As somebody else said, make sure you're in control of your habit, not your habit in control of you.
I am sorry to hear that you can't get through the night without cannabis.
I personally struggle sometimes to sleep, but mostly due to pain or sometimes anxiety.
I've learnt to manage my pain with moderate regular exercise and anxiety happens less and less as time passes.
I do have some reserve at all times for when i can't afford not to sleep.
In my opinion, cannabis is a medicine (same as opium, mushrooms, tobacco leaves, sage of seers, iboga and many other wonderful plants) rather than means to get smashed/escape the reality.
I believe that if something controls you, whatever it could be (plants, booze, porn, drama, etc.), rather than you control it (meaning, you start any moment you want and you can stop any moment you want, for a period that you want) then you have an addiction.
Have you considered different methods/ways to stabilise your sleeping routine?
I wish you all the best,
V.

I smoke everyday but only when I‘ve got all my shit done, the kids are in bed and it’s chill time. I only vape too so no combustion. I smoked heavily in my younger days (bongs or hot knives for breakfast lol) with my mates but had a 15 year break!
Gardenvariety nailed it really, when you’re having a word with yourself just make sure you’re in control of your weed intake and not vice versa, if you can’t function without it, it’s probably time for a little break. Look after your mental health man it’s just as, if not more important than looking after your physical health. Everyone has some sort of vice my friend it’s just finding that happy medium.
I’ve been enjoying edibles a little too much lately and should probably knock them on the head lol

T breaks are a tough one to crack but I only ever smoke in the evening and finding something else to replace it aint easy.

Not much of a smoker, just the odd Friday night because of work and life commitments but since lockdown it's been everyday 2-4 times a day for the last 3 months. I stopped because i felt a bit of stomach pain and just wanted a t break. First 3 nights I couldn't sleep. Was up until 5 and getting 3 hours sleep. I was surprised that when I woke up I felt fine like I got a good sleep. Couldn't eat solids for a few days and lost my appetite, I was really worried about this, but I googled it and I found someone had the exact same symptoms. After a few days I was fine. I went back smoking once a day but my but my missus was worried so I said on Monday would be my last day before taking a week off. Guess who can't sleep again :|
I've got a question, why do you want to go a night without it? Are you using it to medicate or solely for enjoyment?
I haven't had a dry day in 20 years and see no reason to, it is my medicine after all (even though I do also enjoy it! obviously). "t breaks" are an internet fad, if you're worried about how much you are smoking lower your dosage - try to smoke small amounts during the day and save your power smokes for night time. If you're smoking large amounts or more than you can afford then lower your overall dosage day by day until you work how much you actually need.
Then buy more than you need so you never run out.
The most important thing to remember is it's about you as individual and what works for you. Some people can/need to smoke everyday some can't/don't, only you can decide if you are happy with your level of smoking or not mate, be sensible and trust yourself - and always keep learning.
Good luck going forward bud! :)
