Romania is fantastic👍….Transylvania genuinely spooky…lively and young street drinking culture…stunning women (all vampires obvs)…

I'll second that. I travelled from Cornwall to Bucharest by train last year, them onto Bulgaria. Romania is bloody stunning, especially as the train line followed the Danube and you could see across into Serbia.

krakow poland exemplifies many eras of europe with castles, squares and poignant reminders of ww2. the people are very friendly and the salt mines are a wonder of the world - the spot in the pic is carved out of salt hundreds of feet below ground.

Vietnam or Laos. Vietnam blew me away. Favourite spots were Hoi An, Tay Ninh and Can Thó. Stunning.

I'm with you on Vietnam, been there three times. Absolutely beautiful country.

Detroit, laugh all you like but this city has great architecture, music, food and people.

….and some great value real estate in certain parts!👍

Please god don’t leave the city centre/Cape Town it’s like a different world outside of the capital but I’m from Cape Town ( originally) it’s actually a very western cosmopolitan place like London with a cool “woke” downtown full of expensive bars and Islington/camden style living.

It’s also on the beach with a Mediterranean style climate 1 hour from most national park and safaris.

Despite what you hear in the new it’s actually a pretty good place to live

I was lucky enough to work on festivals/concerts and did a tour of Denmark that place surprised me really nice people, amazing beaches , also the outer Hebrides had amazing beaches

Tblisi

Majestic!

Kolkata. Didn't expect to like it. It is now my favourite city. So intense. Wonderful people. Great food. Amazing architecture.

Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands, stunningly Divine!! is that underrated though? 😂…

Lisbon, Portugal is quite underrated. Lovely place, great sea food and amazing views. Although my favourite destination ever is either Tokyo or Toronto. Best holidays I ever had, Tokyo for tourism and Toronto for partying!

West Co Kerry, Ireland. All along the wild atlantic way, Kenmare, Sneem, Glenbeigh, Killarney to name a few stops. So many good spots to stop, fire one up or have a pint and enjoy.

Honestly County Clare in Southern Ireland, my uncle married an Irish girl and moved there.

It really is like father ted there, your neighbours not for miles but you go into the local village and it’s just five pubs all joined on to each other.

The friendliest people I’ve ever met, it almost made not having anything to smoke for a week bearable…almost.

Kampot in Cambodia, went for a week last year and stayed for 3 months.
Beautiful scenery, can blaze pretty much anywhere in most western owned restaurants and bars at least. 50cent beers and a wacky expat crowd. Going back later this year too hopefully for a year 😜

Dont forget kep if youre in the neighbourhood

Think they've finished the concrete road now!

I'm in SR now, for the long haul I hope 😆

What a romantic city, enjoy bigga.

If you’re South Asia bound , Laos although has a clear tourist path nowadays very easy to leave it , Borneo for amazing wildlife that if we carry on will probably be gone in a few years, Hampi in india like being on a weird cross between Mars and ancient civilizations , jailsalmer india again ancient city, for the smokers the himilayas in india

New Zealand is easily the most beautiful place I've ever been. Absolutely stunning. I wasn't particularly excited about going there at first, I thought it would be a bit boring, but after spending a few days on the North Island I completely fell in love with it. I even considered living there for a while.

We drove down from Auckland to Wellington and must have taken thousands of pictures. It's breathtaking. Probably the best two weeks I've ever spent abroad in my life.

When we left Wellington we flew to Melbourne, Australia, (which i was really excited about visiting) and it has to be the single most overrated city on the planet. Couldn't wait to leave. Absolute dump.

Funny how these things turn out sometimes!

Just my opinion though. No offence Melbournians 😉

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

But did you get to South Island BB?….a whole other world again down there!…

I didn't, but oddly enough my phone did!

I left it on the plane from Wellington to Melbourne which flew back to Christchurch where the airport staff found it and mailed it to Aus for me. So my phone has been to more places around the world than I have!

I definitely plan to go back and visit the south island, I've heard only great things. Its such a long way away though or I'd go there all the time.

24 hour flights.... 😒

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

I’d love to visit NZ, I can speak a bit of Maori because I used to play online with some Maori mates and they’re some of the nicest down to earth people I’ve ever met

Considering it’s just a ferry ride they are completely different worlds…north is all sheep, rolling plains, and long beaches.. South is mad glaciers, extreme sports & penguins…just crazy 🤩👍

Have to say some great picks in this convo the one for me personally is cornwall on a warm clear night the sky is amazing to just be at one with nature and look up at it ;)

Croatia is mesmerizing!

Margate.

It’s a really nice place. I’m not even joking.

Montenegro. Stunning. Also just came back from the Island of Menorca. Stunning place also.

Ceep to the 55th street cuh

Decentralisation, rebirth of the concept of governments and banks (stores of value and loans of value), the internet of money, the exchange of favours peer to peer, the recognition of favours, global decentralised online democracy, micro businesses go parabolic, communities become self sufficient, govts lose control. Its happening.

True though. example..I cashed out £3k yesterday just for posting on a crypto sub on reddit for a few years, 3-4 posts a week.. erc20 rewards. I use brave browser which offers free anti tracking, https upgrades, ad free browsing (inc youtube) and it pays as you go with BAT token. It covers my premium netflix monthly subscription and costs nothing.

I've read about this before bud but never decided to do it as I felt it would be too little. Can you explain more about it, i'd love to know with regards of how active you actually were. its a very clever idea. did you pay for brave or was it free? I'll go check it out thanks for sharing :D

How do you earn money just posting on Reddit?

But like winning the lotto.
It does happen- just not to you.

nice list!

We bio engineer ourselves into organic super computers, harness the planets electromagnetic field as a server and live as gods in virtual reality.

Yes and still complain it's not like the good old days

but it won't be 'us' providing this world, it'll be engineered and controlled by a select few people who will have total control over everyone

yeah theyre called ai

since religions were organized, self preserving entities that transcend all people.

You do realise the earth's magnetic field is weaker than a fridge magnet right xD

Web 5. Decentralisation of personal data. Anonymity. Buyers Markets. People realise phones arent phones and just tracking chips that post spam in your face all day so we go back to mp3 players that make calls. We reverse the inversion and regain the ability to tell human from computer and truth from fiction again.

Humanity cannot progress or achieve the things we used to while big data has us pinned down with the technology and the mind games, constantly draining every penny we have. We're so busy trying to create money with our bare hands to pay off the debt they are creating that we can't get anywhere and never will.

People are working to take apart that system as we contemplate.

For now at least we have LB.

It seems more than ever the Old guard sees the next wave coming and is way more on top of it than previous leaders. this alone makes it interesting

Hopefully a revolution 🙏

Life itself?

a dildo in the face one in the butt and a fleshlight on the cock, they will convince you you are a real person and you work for onlyfans, but there will be millions of you all stacked up as far as the eye can see.

Cybernetic implants that turn you into a computer then we will go too far and try and turn the planet into a super computer and blow ourselves up again and it will be back to painting on cave walls.

a lot has come and gone since the web. none of it as universal though.

When the web is fully developed, all endpoints interconnected and in harmony, I usually walk right into it and get it stuck in my hair.

Good night and sleep well

Surely it will be open and universal. Exactly in that order one at a time.

Reticulum is looking really promising on the privacy decentralized web front, a whole cryptography based network stack:

https://reticulum.network/

Early days, but a lot of bits going on there:
Reticulum > network stack (similar TCP or UDP)
LXMF > message protocol (similar POP or SMTP)
RNode > a long range data radio (similar wifi access point) that you can build easily with $20 hardware and start building a mesh network
Sideband/MeshChat/NomadNetwork > full featured messaging clients

Crap name tho! :) Needs more marketing

Neural net will likely be next. You will see the net when you want in your own eyes. Real time everything. No screens, no devices except inside you.

If initiatives are to guide our development work instead of borgs we need a rational process like the one attempted here.

No one can ever know what the majority of biggas want without a polling system that gets a good sample. Vocal vested interests are a worthy source of ideas and should be weighed against each other (and other priorities that aren't so apparent).

As an example of priorities consider the 2 initiatives recently posted: inventory controls and sterling based pricing. In a headline they sound rational and obvious but with some unemotional discussion it's pretty easy to see they don't have much impact.

Our inventory counter could be marvelous (it's what we shoot for when we actually get to something) but it will not interface with sales on other platforms thus still requires most sellers to manually maintain and update by order. It's also common for sellers to combine and manage sizes dynamically. Yes it sounds like basic functionality -embarrassingly so ;) - but the reality is it will only benefit a very small number of people.

The currency issue is actually on our immediate horizon but the issue isn't changing to sterling. It makes obvious sense to peg things to the most stable fiat currency and then display as many others as is practical but whatever we do sellers will need to constantly adjust prices relative to inflation and deflation and as sterling drops there is simply no way around this requirement.

So neither of these are going to make life much better but to write them now we would need to drop projects on our infrastructure. And while these projects are not very visible other wide-impact projects currently prioritized are:

Tags are long overdue on lb and we have an open source project that is making good progress you can watch. More features from open projects are still coming this year and will effect every bigga.

Anyway, we salute the initiative borg for their efforts and the advocates getting initiatives off the ground.

This makes sense but it would be nice to hear from you a little more, when there is no feedback people get frustrated and you get shitposting instead of the intelligence that is there waiting.

Sorry but a stock counter doesn't have much impact is all we've heard from this post and its so frustrating it has a massive impact as multiple users have stated in the post below, you say it doesn't interface with the sales but every other marketplace we've used has this feature! This site has been great in many other ways we find it laughable that this is your response to a serious problem, the only people it benefits are the admins as it never restricts sales so as long as the order is fulfilled with a substitute you guys get your cut, how can other places implement a stock counter as a basic feature but it to complex to work on this site, is that what we're meant to believe because we've seen simple methods that can easily avoid the above issues you've stated, so we see no reason not to add this feature but from your response you seem to think tags are the priority!

The fact that you use other marketplaces is their point. Sell a unit there and how will the inventory counter know here? It still comes down to you updating constantly.

No we understand their issue but the fact they think it won't make life better is laughable when theres a thread below with nothing but reasons arguing for it, obviously there is a way for it to pick up on a sale for both sites as Transaxe is fully capable of a similar process so its not really a valid reason for us but no sense arguing about it they obviously cant be bothered to even entertain the idea.

I've never seen anyone asking for advanced cross-platform functionality. Being able to pause sales automatically when the inventory sells through avoids the unprofessional friction of cancelling buyers purchases.

appreciate a dev post, but why do you think a stock updater will benefit few people?

sounds like it would benefit All sellers?

Ive been done by subs a few times, and that's just me? 🤔

even if it needs some manual input from sellers, I'm not sure why if they bang in a hidden total and then just subtract the weight or stock number automatically when purchased once confirmed paid?

P. s. a polling system would also be a juicy update 😉

Seller or the year

These are only our opinions, these and others will be heard in a rational initiative like the one outlined here. It can also refine what exactly we are trying to build and how that fits into what else we all need.

To add to this... I like the idea of an end of year awards thing just for a bit of fun. Top 3 vendors, top bargains, best flower/hash/cart/other etc.

If you changed the currency to sterling being that 95% or more of this sites traffic and customer base is from the UK, sellers wouldn't need to constantly change the price of listed items (not that they do anyway) and it would remove the need to do so

for instance , £30 is always going to be £30, inflation isn't affecting us in this sense, the only reason inflation and deflation affects us is because the prices are set in dollars... if you can't see how this benefits all of us can you please explain then why the sites currency is set to dollars? how are dollars benefitting anyone??

it's absolutely astonishing to me that this, and the stock counter is somehow not beneficial to many of us? it's one of the best and most important changes to ever happen to this site

I appreciate the reply and that you gave us some insights, and while things like 'tags' are a welcome change, they aren't saving anybody any money, and money is absolutely everybodys number 1 priority by a margin so big i can't think of an appropriate word to describe it, nothing can make our life better than saving us money!

Fully agree with everything here. Any opinions against changing to £ not being a priority are completely deluded. I'll be honest in saying I sometimes use a different site on the darkweb for orders, which is based in £s. I don't want my purchases to be a gamble. As a customer I want 35 quid to be 35 quid. Vendors won't have to continually keep altering prices. The one reason I shop here more is the community, reviews, variety and generally chilled discussions. However in testing times I want £30 to be £30 and not creeping up daily as I can buy quality weed at a stable price elsewhere.

if i was selling weed, and my price is fixed at £10 a gram, why would i ever need to adjust my prices if the sites currency is sterling?

that's not how cannabis works though, it's not affected by inflation in the same way that groceries are, infact, cannabis has actually decreased in price during this massive inflation hike > ref the link

in 20 years of buying weed, i've never been told "sorry mate that's going to cost you an extra tenner today, cuz of inflation"

£10 a gram is pretty standard pricing and it has been for over a decade, of course people sell grams at different prices, but this isn't because of inflation

sterling and dollars are equal in terms of stability, inflation is only affecting us because the sites currency is set to dollars, I cannot explain this any clearer.

thanks devvy

This is ridiculous you know what the people want and don't want its clear for all to see, most people don't bother weighing in on these posts as they don't believe anything will change just stop messing about and make the changes!!!

from my p.o.v. i think its absurd to stop infrastructure or tags for everyone to have this but just bring it to a proper vote and we can find out.

Never a true proper vote on here anyways love.

Well said CI 💯

biggup, if there is no real initiative process its just mob bitching

this.

a welcome clarification!

Same happened to me have you had any resolution?
