Thanks for the recommendation 👍 👍 👍

Borg should ask you for your crypto address to send the funds back automatically, could take a couple of days but it'll be all 👍

First time for me too! Check this out:

Also this link is usefull

Good morning 888saga888😉. I was in the same boat as you. I ordered at 3 pm yesterday via bittylicous. And order still hadnt gone through at almost midnight 🤔. Woke up this morning (Friday) and its says paid. So all is good. Bitcoin can be a nightmare some times. I shouldn't worry too much. Contact whoever you ordered from. Sure they will understand what's happening 👍

Thank you for the reassurance, feeling slightly better but still nerve-racking! Thank you for commenting :))

Fees are way up compared to couple weeks ago, hope its cleared by now i waited almost two weeks once.

took just under 24hrs

Not A problem 888saga888
😉. Hope it gets sorted for you 🤞..

took just under 24hrs

mine took 18 days, ask for the tracking and relax yourself its literally coming from asia

How long was yours in transit on tracking mate?

like 9 days, but he posted a week later than he said

I think that vendor is marked ‘Fraud Suspected’ now- you’ll get 100% refund without delay.

Always approach new vendors with caution👍

Honestly I feel if these Thai vendors are ever to succeed on LB they must come to an agreement with Borgs to alter how rules are applied to them, which will likely never happen.

There is a massive opportunity for biggas here that is being spoiled by the impatient submitting disputes ASAP which flags as fraud suspected and the dispute is auto resolved while the weed is still in transit. Now the vendors down weed and funds from dispute refunds and all other funds are withheld by LB creating more issues with reinvesting into product and bribing PO officials and others.

I’ve ordered Thai from LB on two occasions, the first from Thai-Lands (this same mob) which arrived in 18 days and another with Isan Dragon that couldn’t send product but resolved this through comms no dispute needed. At the same time both vendors were inundated by disputes, fraud suspected flags and demands from biggas… poor show folks.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the dispute system, but this clearly is not working for vendors in Asia. Remove dispute option on Thai vendors and make it clear this is the case on vendor page and biggas truly order at their own risk (ordering from Thailand IS a risk in terms of time of delivery and seizure) or alter the dispute rules for these pages would be my recommendation.

You are right in that the dispute system should work but doesn’t for a simple reason. The earliest a dispute can be opened is after 9 days and this creates a new 16 day window before auto resolution which can be extended for another 16 days. That’s 41 days and if it hasn’t arrived by then it’s not coming! The system falls down because it registering the dispute % as they are opened not as they are paid out which is surely all that matters? Just needs a simple tweak really but who’s listening?🤷‍♂️

A foreign vendor has to reconcile to the fact that their cash flow is going to be slow. Honestly though, other than for a bargain why take the risk?

We have warned you multiple times that you are taking a risk! you're ordering from over seas

It's an internal issue with coinbase, nothing on your end will fix it.

Not sure if it’s related but I had the same issue the other day and it turned out to be an issue with my VPN. Had to turn it off in order for the ‘send’ to go through. Soon as I switched the VPN off it worked. Never used to be an issue with Coinbase but at least it worked. Just remember to switch the VPN back on after - if you use one that is.

Thank you but still no joy :((

My transaction just went through hopefully all good now

https://status.coinbase.com/

Yes the issue is fixed now. Missed the 3pm cutoff window though, grr haha thnx coinbase ya useless shites

Having same problem. Bloody painful!

Back up your wallet app and then reinstall. This might help.

Tried getting small order in today, bought £80 worth from CB, £3 or so to buy, fantastic i thought, we'll be smoking tomorrow i thought, then i went to send it to my own wallet i was quoted £20.
I'll buy a little more btc tonight and see how gas fees are then, thinking about trying to send in the early hours to see if that helps.

Exactly the same here 😂😭

Good info. Much appreciated. I use CB mostly too but was in the conundrum how much BTC to buy without knowing the sending fee.

It's gotta be an Oz to make it swallowable then at £20.
Annoying near the end of the month before payday when I only want a Q :(

I don't know if a different time will help. 2am here is 9am in China. It's always going to be prime time somewhere.

Gas fees are coming down now it would seem, trick is to catch the wave before they shoot back up again.
Can't see CB fees being £20 right now, the mempool seems quite slick currently.

Good skills.

It used to be just watching the BTC price but now we have to factor in the surges in mining fees too.

This is what everyone buying weed wants to do obviously lol

Fees are still not ideal but much lower than they were five days ago.

25/04/2024

Coinbase still high, £20 to send £58 atm for me

25/4 22:20pm

Yup, just been charged 20 to send to my own wallet, when can we get LiteCoin ffs.

I feel so unlucky to be a Coinbase user during this time as it seems to have higher fees than any other judging by some of the quotes that I've heard people complaining about but that I'd be happy with in comparison. Finally gave in yesterday and bought a 0.5g cart with the btc I had planned to buy 2 full carts with just a week ago when fees were normal lol.

unless you're just timing it wrong with the time of day youre checking it does sound like coinbase are selectively screwing their customers somehow. fees are back to reasonable levels at the time of writing this. I stopped using coinbase after they asked for more documentation after already providing it all previously. imagine if your bank asked for that every year. clowns

Just cost me £22 to send £74... Piss take!

26/4 @ 09:20

Thanks for the heads up, I was just about to place an order. I'll wait.

Never thought it would be middle network fees that would finally force me to reduce how much I consume. Market forces!

I dont usually like to do it this way but I've sent directly from coinbase to the transaxe, maybe as a one off it's something you guys could consider

That's exactly what I did... £22 fee!

Fees on Coinbase still high (28/4 21:30). Not telling me how high, as it used to do, just saying insufficient funds to complete transaction).

£20 currently. 26/04/24 14:05

Kraken exchange! So much better than coinbase imo, cheaper fees.......

Yes mate! £14 to send £210 earlier this week. Cleared with Transaxe in 10 minutes. 😉

26/04/2024 - if sending fees on coinbase are still high it's likely theyre choosing to screw you because the btc mining fees have came back down.

Instead of buying BTC from coinbase buy SOL which is far cheaper. Transfer the SOL to another wallet that can swap SOL to BTC. Then spend BTC on your orders so your only getting hit once on the BTC gas fees.

I bit the bullet at 15 quid on Wednesday. Just checked the fees the now and they're 20 quid. Friday 08:00

total scam prices. hopefully people can jump ship to somewhere else to send btc

It was asking for £200 to spend £200 the other day for me, I dread to look at it!!

Put an order through this morning 26/4 $39 fee on a $120 order.

absolute racket. no idea why they're higher than the network prices.

Not a lot tbh, strong terps are such an extreme rarity at this point due to the complete shift in approach that the entire industry has taken worldwide

good terps come from crops grown with utmost care and love and absolutely 0 focus on profits, only good weed, good luck finding anyone still doing this in todays world!

the absolute vast majority of weed grown now that we all smoke is grown entirely for profit, and all the steps required for good terps eat into profits heavily

hash is where the terps are at nowadays, good hash though, not just average commercial blondes etc

Although its not a personal favourite have you seen the reviews for Mimosa Evo from Keep It Green?....
You could also have a chat with Druids Magic about anything left in their apothecary drawers....you might be amazed.
Terpiest hash on here right now is the Barz range from either SensiMart, RealD or THC23...

Helps if the weed is reasonably fresh and well kept too. Those terpines just melt away over time.

Thank you for taking time to explain, I suspected most weed is just grown by profiteers vs heads these days. Gonna stick with the high end hash. Much appreciated, light and blessings x

Massively agree with all of this. You know what you are talking about

Got some great options in at the moment. Rainbow Zoap and RS11, both very terpy and reduced this week.

Defo have a look at don loco, some lovely organic bud, lovely terps and sooo smooth on throat

I'd echo Polly's comment - i don't really do green these days but KIG's mimosa is lovely.
The Blue Gelato was something else if he's got any left

We have a mix of strains and a few free competitions at the moment pal. Would obviously recommend our Gelato 41 as we are only listing it for a small amount of time as we want to keep it for smokes.

Try different vendors and find your preference. If you enter our competition good luck!

We are UK to UK

I'd contact the seller as this is clearly a different product.

I don’t think it’s any particular exchange- the fees are set by the miners and they are having a field day…😖

$75 network fee on Exodus at the moment. Crazy.

oh i know, i use that wallet too.... plus i buy coin through banxa, rate is now ridiculous..... used to be quids in on the dollar to buy bitcoin...

Yep, this is being caused by the increased congestion on the chain from ordinals. But at least you can play Doom straight from the Blockchain, silver linings.

Starting to understand 🙏

Just paid around £60 in fees on a £120 transaction. Partly my own fault for leaving the Xmas extra until now but still!!! I feel like this place won't be economically viable for most people if we are forced to stick with BTC for too much longer. People have been crying out for alternative payment options for sooooo long now. Maybe if it starts to impact LB`s bottom line things will change, who knows? Between that & Transaxe being down today so I had to jump onto Society to complete the order. The process is actually pretty stressful waiting with crossed fingers to see if your transaction is actually going to complete at the moment. PLEASE LB for the love of Green consider alternatives to BTC as it's barely viable anymore!

It bloody sucks… This is why I don’t buy here any more.. it breaks my heart as I loved this site… I miss posting about strains I’ve had 😢 as well miss supporting all my favourite vendors…

I’m lucky I can buy from other platforms where things like LTC are accepted…. but not everyone has that option…

I REALLY REALLY REALLY miss this place..

PLEASE BORGS!!! SORT THIS PAYMENT OPTION SHIT OUT!!!
👊💚

Nah feel that, there’s a good engagement on here it’s a shame that it’s still tied down to one currency though not been able to buy off here for a good month gotta get that shitty mall weed 😉

What other platforms are there out of interest?

Can’t say I’m afraid dude due to forum rules. 👊💚

If only it was that easy, I literally found this place by chance! 😂😂

Bloody hell it's horrendous right now.

Thank you 🙏 I just thought I was being mean or targeted by the platform

So this is 17:48 on 16/12/23.

As a test I just looked at a dummy send of £47. I have £85 in the wallet and it won't let me send as I don't have enough for the fees, as they're currently 540 sat/vB for high priority! That's nearly double what I've ever seen it reach. Guess I'm not buying any Christmas gingerbread and Nutella!

Wonderful. It was over 650 sat/vB just now (at 18:35 on 16/12/23)

BTC development team do not want BItcoin to be used as currency. This site must look at alts if it wants to provide an effective service.

This site should add BCH as an option. It's the same as BTC but has fees under a few cents and sends very quickly just like BTC used to before it stopped scaling.

They want £46 to send to send £106 at the moment on bitpanda!
Sorry make that £62.50 now!

£100 to btc via moonpay and then to transaxe leaves me £60 for weed ... it ain't gonna b a very green Xmas 😭😭😭

yeah its a bit silly now. I remember it was sweet with paybis but then uk gov forced some kind of change and they left. i was using simplex to electrum after and they charged about 15 and 4 to make the payment from electrum to LB. I decided to upload my id to kraken, but its not any better, they charge 3.50 intitial then 13.60 to withdraw then 4£ from wallet to LB and worse is a 72 hour holding on first buy so you have to double up or wait. I'm relatively new to this but it thought it was bad. think the banks (which is also the gov) are trying to bring it down by some age old economic fuckery.

Wait until BTC fees go over £100 this site risks ending then if the team here doesn't act soon by offering better scalable coins for buying with.

just to say simplex charges are up to 37£!!!! man thats obnoxious. also withdrawing from kraken is an actual skill cause you need a defined amount for your wallet to gen an address, the address must be new on kraken, and then verified, and in that time the decimals have changed and its no longer the same amount. fucking stupid. I was raging when trying on friday but got there in about 10 tries.

Anyone know if it’s safe or had any problems w sending directly to transaxe due to fees atm 🤷‍♂️

I always send directly…

How is this done please?

I just direct my bitpanda send order to the transaxe buy address 👍

How do you do this on bitpanda? Sorry if I'm being thick.

Once you have bought btc in your bitpanda account, select ‘Send’ from the trading options, then paste the lb buy address into the prompt. Add the amount to send and a total will come up that includes the fees. OK it and click on the confirmation email they send. Coin goes straight to LB, your order updates when received 👍

Nice one.

bitpanda no new customers

True at the moment but you can send direct to LB from a lot of exchanges..

Hey @ pollypuff can you send strait from Kraken to LB ? At the moment I am using Kraken then send to Exodus !! A $600 order is costing about £35 / £40 on top each time !! pretty pricy each time you make a order ….

I know it's not ideal but what are the risks of sending bitcoin directly from coinbase to the transaxe rather than to my own wallet first? Looking at close to £40 in fees to send it to my wallet and then transaxe atm

I always send directly to transaxe from coin base

Thanks man, I'm gonna have to do that this time i think

£20 made my shit itch! Not sure how £40 would make me feel :((

If it doesn't sort itself out in the next 24 hours I'm withdraw my coin and it's back to seeing big chin (to be fair his doob is alright and cheap). Just gonna miss the selection and convenience of this place.

It's getting a joke just tried a £125 order wants £58

The miners greed will kill bitcoin off.

I really like zengo and buying bitcoin with banxa try it out , I'm not sure about the passport thing , I probably uploaded a driving license or something , but I havent had any problems in a year now

Thank you 🙏 will check out

It’s been posted a few times but have a look at bitaccelerate.
Fees for my latest transaction were £221. I chose 24hr send which lowered them to £15. I posted TID to bitaccellerate and transaction was completed within a minute at the reduce fee rate.

Thanks, I'll look into this now!

I use crypto.com and the fees has always been the same around £20 no matter how much I’m sending. I know it’s a lot but I try to keep orders to a decent amount to compensate for that.

Hey from crypto.com can you send directly to LB

Thanks

I’ve never had an issue sending directly.

£41 in fees on top to buy and receive just over £940 over the weekend, then £5.25 to send most of that from my wallet. Dropped to 90 sat/vB at around 2am this morning so another buy then cost £4.40 in fees to send. Funded at this level both reached 1 of 4 confirmations in under 15 minutes. You have to be very careful with lowering sats currently as it's really twitchy bum time watching that transaction live as it bounces back and then forwards in the chain as people pay more and more and the required sat/vB climbs in front of your eyes.

The only thing that can make it even vaguely bearable is buying as much as you can, and checking out from multiple vendors in a single transaction. Even then it's still a nightmare.

I've been watching it like a hawk... today was the day and I bit the bullet for £25 total gas fees. Got a big wedge of shake though, so cookie monster is happy!

Happy new year!

External vigilance pays dividends. Happy New Year dude!
