LB really should consider adding support for Monero at checkout, more DNMs are following suit. Unlike BTC, which leaves a public record of transactions, XMR is designed to ensure the privacy of its users

Monero is up 25% in the past month and will keep growing as more people seek privacy.

After coinbases recent shenanigans surrounding a data breach we now know that the issue is KYC.

The more KYC implementations in place the more at risk the user is.

As a buyer, personally I don't care if the police came knocking for an oz. I don't think its me they are after 😉

They are not after anyone by default that is not the point.

Hi there, I use kraken and have verified it with my acutal i.d. I have been purchasing from little biggy for years on there and had no issues as of yet. Should i be worried and what should i do?

You need to understand that everything you do online leaves a footprint, those records of how you behave online don't go anywhere if for any reason you're being investigated and it comes up you need have a cover story to explain it away. You need to have a backup story/plan if shit go south like what you used your crypto for?
Don't think you should worry too much if it's small amount but have a story ready just in case and it's better if you switch to buying crypto in a way that it cannot be traced back to you. Unless you got a solid excuse for using crypto.

Which crypto exchange do you recommend that doesn’t ask for ID please?

Also with these exchanges am I able to sell crypto and withdraw fiat back to my account?

try exodus app or phantom wallet. Alternatively look for p2p exchange sites.

Can you just explain where the offence is of buying personal use cannabis online? As far as I am aware there isn’t one.

In the UK you can buy medical cannabis online legally but only from licensed shops and they will only sell to those who were sent there officially by their GP. ie: if you have ADHD as a last resort when you tried all other medicines and they proven to be ineffective they will then give you the option for medical cannabis or you have to ask for it. Perhaps if you have good relationship with your GP you work something out. ;)
by law you cannot trade (buy or sell) cannabis legally. You can get away growin up to 10 plants for personal use if they cannot prove you're distributing. Only medical use is legal in the UK currently.

The misuse of drugs act 1971 actually has no provision for distance buying. It is illegal to possess, produce, supply, import or export cannabis in the UK. it was considered at the time that to buy would de facto mean to possess. Similarly, large quantities could be considered as conspiracy to supply. It is clearly important that receiving restricted products through the post come with the defence that you have no idea where they came from otherwise anyone could stitch anyone up simply by posting some drugs to their address.

When you place an order for personal use cannabis on LB you do not commit any prosecutable offence that I am aware of unless you are caught in possession of it and willing to admit that it is yours.

That's the point if you make it public for all to know that you're buying weed online then you no longer can claim you have no idea what is it. That's the part where buying anonymously is very important.

You are forgetting that when it comes to personal use by post, nobody cares. Nobody is piecing together small online transactions in crypto in the hope that they might find you in possession of the same small amount of weed. People are right to be as anonymous as they feel they need to be. But at the same time we need a bit of perspective amongst all the paranoia and to understand what the law actually is going to do in the real world.

Yes, it's all depending on the situtation. It's not about them tracking you down through transactions but rather if for any reason they investigate your spendings or online behavour that's when it can get back to you. We prefer to be safe than sorry or having to come up with a story on the spot if anything goes wrong. Remember this is not a statement that they gonna come after you for a bit of weed. It's about what they can prove against you if it's ever come to that point. So not taking precautions is a bit of a gamble taking your chances.
But just to rehash this is more important for sellers to clean their income and not so much for buyers.

Totally agree -It’s a completely different ballpark for vendors…

Thank you so much for your kindness in helping this community!

Hi all420

I tried to warn other biggas of what was coming for a while and only now have I been getting some traction.

In fact I merely meant to hint at the new rules and incite others to do their own research but as you can see there has been a lot of wishful thinking.

The core problem is that as you know all transactions can ultimately be traced back so KYC is a big no.

I'm investigating non-KYC P2P crypto services right now but I would be interested to hear which approach you recommend.

Thanks for reachign out to the community

This issue is only for those who try to cash out crypto.You should never do that to your name as it will becom your official income and you will have to explain it and tax it. As a buyer this is not going to have too much impact at all but doing unlawful things strongly recommended to hide it as much as possible.
Since you already paid your taxes on your official income which you use to purchase crypto there is not much red flags really unless you're doing huge amounts.
Many years ago using crypto would be a huge red flag but these days it is becoming more and more widely used and the goverment want to take their share on the profits/earnings/income.
Your best option to buy without using your card is p2p as you said. Find a trader that list their t or other contact detail reach out and arrange to meet in persion for cash trade.
In exodus you can buy crypto directly from the app but that will also involve using a bank card to pay.

Hi all 4twenty

OK this is pretty much the path that I am exploring right now.

The way I see it there are two issues.

Once the exchanges report BTC purchases to them they will send letters to people who have bought substantial amounts of BTC (regardless of what they did with them including if they disposed of them) or at the very least those who COULD have cashed in above the CGT threshold (AI will do the dirty job for them).

They clearly state that the onus is on the taxpayer to keep track of all transactions but the taxman will request that information should there be a compliance check.

The issues will therefore be 1) having to tell them how you disposed of the BTCs and 2) they will see a lot of transactions from many people all ending in a single endpoint.

If you remember the context this is all part of an OECD directive to clamp down on money laundering so this might attract the wrong kind of attention (even though I see it as a disingenuous way for the Gov to claw back tax money).

There is no single endpoint though. Look at any transaction you send or receive from Transaxe; it's like it's in a shell or bubble or something (I have very limited knowledge of how this works really, after 2 years of mostly losing money, so should be below the self assessment limit, even with AI intervention...), as there's never anything else associated with that address. I'm hoping someone really knows their shit about hiding tracks on this very public and traceable system...

The point really for both sides is to not associate crypto to your name and address unless you got a story to explain it if it comes to that.

Buying crypto on any exchange that requires kyc has never been safe to use even before now. It doesn't mean there will be or that you're in big trouble just that you need to have a bulleproof explanation in case you get questioned about it. And stop using kyc services for unlawful activites or otherwise just be prepared to cover your ass.

I think it is getting to a point where I am more suspicious of branded than un branded. I find that usually if it needs a fancy package or name to make it look appealing then it is probably not worth the cost.

I feel the same way. If it's the shops own brand I don't mind, but as soon as shit is labelled as Packwood, 10/10 Boyz etc im instantly turned off.

Those are good points. We had customers asking to send unmarked cartridges in case "the wife opens it"
So was wondering how many of you would prefer unmarked for this kind of reasons? Perhaps we can add a shipping option to choose unmarked packaging

We are really sorry you feel that way but your claims are false.
Have you ever tought about that the problem is NOT with everyone else??

It's distillate. Doesn't hit the spot for some people. I'm the same, didn't get a thing off them. A lot of people think they're great though.

Try something full extract, like live resin.

Still though I use alot of different pens throughout the years and this is probably the worst one I had, (glad people like it) but I hate it and it was a massive waste of money for me felt like a scam😂

yeah, dr green thumb delivers so quick i’m suspicious he or she lives in the same block

DGT does NDD how NDD is supposed to be, next day. No BS

We sent a number to all buyers and generated 5 numbers randomly.
If you see your number on the picture send us a message from your orders page to claim your prize :)

On 16 days wait so far. Starting to lose hope. Never been the fastest dispenser, but product is so convenient.

I’m sure it will arrive eventually. I just got some more, took 1 day to arrive.

Is that the real picture of what you have, or found online? Cheers

I received some of this looks the same as the pictures

Hi bigbum..that image of the Gelato is a similar image to what hollyweed used to use!!!!..im not 100% sure..but rings xmas bells. lol. Merry Xmas mate!!!! And to all..!!!!:-))

the bud looks the same as the picture received some of this

That's how they look-like. Just to be clear flowers are not identical, they come in different shapes and sizes. You're seeing an example from the batch on the picture.

Is this current? 2/12/20

It was in November. Sold out rapidly
New strain will be listed on friday

Purple Punch is back for the weekend!
Get it while you can :)

That doesn’t look so medium grade to me man, if that’s a stock photo you’ve taken from somewhere else, you might be setting yourself up for a fall if the reality is very different. Just saying.

It is a stock photo but the flower is a close match to what we got on offer. The lighning of the picture make it look bright but it's slightly darker not so dense buds but covered in crystals.

Pods look good mate

I have RSO
130$ -10 ml

I had some of this and it was the strongest oil I've had in a long time , great price too

Have a chat with Rocketdogronnie. Great guy and knows it all…

Will do, thanks a lot 👍

Hey Mr Squid, awwww that's a nightmare, sorry to hear about this. Have you tried Diamond Extracts? Great friendly shop who might be able to help you out.

https://littlebiggy.net/viewSubject/p/4831659

Yeah he got superb extracts, had some few weeks ago, his RSO and Distillate rocks!
Thats the vendor i had asked, i just assume he cant be bothered with that, unfortunately i didn't get replay
Good shout men anyway👌
Thanks buddy

Twoz do decent RSO. Not tried the D9 there. They've been great on comms though so might help you out. They send the small syringes inside plastic tubes already and they're the fastest vendor I've used on LB.

This guy is Legend! Sorted me out no bother👍 Thanks again

Fantastic, thank you very much.
