Cannabis Cannibals, not tried them but I think they are making them to order so give them a dm for some info 👍

Had some imported ones on here b4 but they disappeared. Were really good for the price. Hopefully they're up again soon

I use monzo , I assume you are paying with your card , you need to choose the direct transfer option from your bank account and that should work (does for me on cb)

Seconded, I have and use Monzo for deposits, never had an issue direct transferring or with card. I only need to approve it in app, that’s all. If you’re using Coinbase, I just click on bitcoin and click buy and use whatever account and it goes through instead of depositing into my main account then buying bitcoin.

That's what i usually do

How do i do that then? Had a look cant see owt

Assuming your using cb, go to profile / settings > manage payment methods and you should be able to add your bank Acc there

?

I meant in the coinbase app not the monzo one

There is no Manage payment method coming up on my Coinbase either.

Hey buddy. Browse your coinbase app and somewhere you will find a sort code and account number. In the same place there will also be a unique reference number starting with CB.
Add the details as your would add any other bank account to your online banking.
Make a transfer as you would to a normal bank account.
Deposit will appear in your coinbase within a fee minutes.
Good tip - buy usdc and convert it to btc.
This way you get no fees to buy - only network fee when you move the btc out.

Dont have Direct deposit enabled and no clue how to do it. Just gonna open an account with Revolut

We remember this happened a few months ago too!! Vendors struggle just as much :-( Let’s hope Biggy moves to another coin soon!!

Just been charged £3.48 to semd £60 using coinbase. Just 10mins ago.

Lucky you.

Placed 4 orders last night without looking at the charts 😔 hope the stash will last till.fees drop. Had to message a vendor or two lb needs a alt crypto or even just a stable coin. xrp payments are almost instant.....imagine. Still £55 fees for £6 of btc as of 11:30 GMT

Fees been on or around £48 all day. Starting to do my f**king head in

Reason I've found a different platform. Some great vendors and products here but only having the one crypto and only now trying to react to it by introducing an alrernative, while other places take LTC and a few others, it's too little too late for me.

Apparently biggas have been asking for an alternative crypto for years, probably every time the fees are high, and nothing's happened so I think it's a case of go elsewhere if you can while the fees are high and come back when they're low again.

I sent £230 btc with my revolut account and fees were only £15.15 highly recommend revolut bank

You've still been had.

I have a Revolut account. Will need to have a look

Just been chatting to blockchain customer services as i am still getting over $200 fees quoted for a $35 transaction,they told me to try later as markets have just opened and there has been a bug in the fees since the halfing event,i think they hope it will resolve itself i guess we will see.

Check my topic I have linked out, it will cost you around £10-15 in fees to send with this method.

Still not ideal but definitely better.

I've just opened a Kraken account. Can i transfer funds from Coinbase to Kraken? Or will i have to spend it at Coinbase? Pretty new to this.

If it is crypto then you can yeah otherwise if it is fiat then just withdraw to your bank.

Be warned tho, the method I am about to state incurs some small fees although still nothing near as high as Bitcoin's network fees;

If it is Bitcoin that you have on Coinbase then use the 'convert' feature, convert into something that has cheap fees like Litecoin.

Then send all to your Litecoin address on Kraken and again convert it back into Bitcoin there on Kraken.

This prevents you paying the dreaded BTC network fee whilst transferring from Coinbase to Kraken.

Just a heads up tho, for your first withdraw on Kraken you have to wait 1-3 days.

This only applies to your first withdraw though, after that there is no waiting.

Cheers pal. Very helpful

Hi Budzinho, I have followed these instructions and opened an account on kraken app, transferred from my paxful wallet via lightning so very low fees. It has arrived on my kraken app but I can’t see where/how you send it to the vendor from there - should I have downloaded the kraken wallet rather than the kraken ap? Am worried now that I’ve done it 😑

You have to wait 24-72 hours before your first withdrawal mate.

Only applies to your first one tho.

Also on Kraken they call it a 'withdrawal' not a 'send' like other exchanges.

On the Kraken app > click 'portfolio' > click 'withdraw' > select 'BTC'

Oh yeah make sure you don't send your BTC here on the Lightning Network as it is not compatible.

£50 fee on a £84 transaction 😬, no thanks coinbase!

Fees still high 11.35

Tried to buy £33 of hashish this morning (22nd April at 06.30) and also saying not enough funds, have over £50 in bitcoin:((

Hi went on coin base last night about 8 ish only got charged £4 in transfer fees hopefully going down now 🤑had to get meds took the chance and it was really low 🫶 still need alternative coin really 👍

28 fee coinbase today seems at slowly going down

Fees have minimized possibly temporary but I paid £15 in fees to move 130 I’m happy with 10% especially if the price messes about for another couple days 23/4-21:47

Just got the fees at just under £15 for a £80 deal. Here's hoping it levels off now

It’s taking it’s time at 30 min tho as long as it goes through I’m happy

Just cleared. 1hr and 15mins. Happy Bigga now

Yeah mine's the same.

Stop using Coinbase - i stopped using them years ago - they are thieving scalping bastards. I sent £105 of BTC this morning and it cost me about £5 and was confirmed within 20 mins. There are so many options these days to buy and send BTC - people need to do the research and find better services than Coinbase.

What do you use then?

Just made a GBP200 purchase via Kraken: total of GBP13.64 to buy and send to LB.

Took a little less than 30 minutes from deposit in Kraken to being received by Transaxe.

NB My order was a little over GBP200 and I already had about £30 of BTC in Kraken, so I'd guess about GBP15 in fees if I was starting from scratch.

Trying to transfer £100 have £38 in fees think it’s going down but still ridiculous
23/4-11:57

Still sky high
23/4
12:40

Hello

Been using binance from the get go to send btc, normally £4-7 fee what ever the amount is same fee...the lowest I've seen in the last 4 days is like 27..should I hold on till it lowers or use a different app ? Cheers for any advise 👍

Just paid £56 fees for a $99 bit 😅 07:27am 22/4, coinbase yay 🤐

Ah so, least urs is working? Every time I even try sending to an any address the next screen is something went wrong. Error. Been like that last 2/3 days.

That's weird man, Im useless with tech, sorry, wish I could help

Mine did that last week, got email at weekend to say all is good. Tried and just did the same. Using Paybis now.

You should be able to change the BTC fee in settings before finalising the transaction. Go to https://mempool.space/ to find out the going rates on network fees, if they’re high wait 30 mins and check again. Currently for low priority it’s $7.30 and will process in ~20mins (6:15am).

How can i change it tho

Depends on how you use bitcoin.
personally I use coinbase to buy the bitcoin, then transfer to my personal wallet for which I use electrum software.
In electrum you can choose when sending a payment how much fees to pay.
As others have said you can look at the mempool.
Prices have been too high over the last few days, but will eventually return.
The last time fees were this high there was plenty of chat about an alternative to BTC on LB.
Part of the problem with the fees is that they have little relation to the purchase price - you will pay the same fee regardless of whether you are paying $30 or $300.
Bitcoin is really more of an investment tool than a payment tool.
I do hope that LB get an alternative soon, as no one sane is going to pay $50 in fees for a $30 deal.

I won't be using lb till fees come down considerably, especially when there's alternatives, bought a bit with Lt this afternoon and had 0.00 fees, couldn't believe it..

Guys,

Fees look like they are coming down lowest I've seen all week. Infzct low enough to place a few orders.

Come check out full filtered range. These hash eggs are 💪💪

23/04 10.00 .... send £20 BTC urgent with moonpay for a bargain price of £216.13

ALTERNATIVE CRYPTO OPTION NOW !!!!!

this is 08:16 on 23 april
Current rate in the mempool for quick (10 min) processing is around 160 sat/vB, 'normally' around 20.
This is not 'lowest all week', and is a bit higher than yesterday.
Looks like it will take some days to calm down.
I just paid a fee of ~£11 on ~£130, so a bit less than 10%. - this got me on the 39 minute block.
(I'm using electrum wallet which allows you to choose rate)

24 April 07:30
Despite many people thinking that the rate would go down over hours or a couple of days, it looks like it is acutally increasing.
Yesterday I wrote 10 min processing was 160 sat/vB, today its 650 or ~$60 per transaction.
So it doesn't look like it is going to decrease any time soon.
Yesterday I made an order and paid about 10% in fees on ~£130, glad I did it, no telling how long it will take for things to get back to 20 sat/vB

Today we seem almost back to normal, with even the 10 min processing @ 33 sat/vB or ~ $3 per transaction.
Lets hope it stays like that, and a good time for people to buy to transfer to their private wallets

25 April 08:00 (UK)

I'm trying to spend dust from my referrals....160 sat is INSANE for the amount of uxto I have in one transaction. Ridiculous

Mines saying 55 :( . Literally can’t order.

Be like this for a bit yet i think

Coinbase wallet don't allow me to change the send rate speed for BTC only ETH

Next time the fees are better send a couple of order’s worth of coin across to a new wallet. Trust wallet allows you to change the BTC fee and i’ve had no issues sending to LB.

I’ve got trust wallet and it’s trying to charge me over £80 in fees
Please explain

In advanced settings (highlighted below) you can set the sat/vB rate.
Go to: https://mempool.space/
To figure out what a reasonable rate is at that time. It changes drastically throughout the day so keep checking in if it’s high.

Cheers bandit, you're the realest

I think fees going down slowly. I sent 1000£ yesterday and paid 55£ fees, so its not so bad

Back at £20. Proper pain in the arse

revolut does a good job of mirroring network fees with a small fee on top which is about 1.5% or in that area.

id recommend folks sending to their own wallet address first. you could get away with it sending directly to the order address but with them being a regulated bank and with the new regulations its possible they could check the btc address you're sending to and ask more questions. I would then remove the btc address from you revolut account after all the transactions are done to reduce the possibility of further checks. you can add another one when you need to.

Gonnae give it a go on pay day. Do they charge fees for changing your money to btc as well like coin base?

No, just to send.

Cheers mate sound

Bud they do charge to buy but it's minimal amount

I got topic up myself with these crazy fees, how normal customer on budget able to buy . GAW

Fees have reduced this morning(24/4/24 06:30) but still paid £23 on a £180 order

I was £15 for £80 order last night

Still high but stocked up on 3 pack man vapes to weather the storm🤣

Concentrate really needs to be dabbed or vaped. I pop it in a dynavap either sandwiched between flower or drizzled/sprinkled over a rolled up mesh screen. I'm just discovering stuff like shatter, rosin, baddar, isolator/bubble and finding ways to vape it. Dyna works so far. A tiny bit gets me gone too.

Dabbing generally…what kit do you have?

What I like right now is to press a little shatter with my thumb into a thin disc and sandwich between weed. I put it into a dosing capsule in the Mighty for best results.

Last time I looked MKK220 had an amazing range of shattter…👍👍

No got anything mate. As I said. Never tried it b4

You really need a dab pen or e-rig…it’s difficult to work shatter into a spliff….how do you normally smoke/vape?

The A1O Coil King pen is a great cheap entry tool for dabbing…

Plus 1 for Matt at RVS!!

You got off lightly, my usual method involves buying btc then transferring to an electrum wallet. My usual £44 transaction ended up costing £80 in fees just to get it through the system and out of limbo... even with a £20 network fee last night from electrum to here it still took 8 hours to clear.... (I paid extra in the end to get it past the post). I guess it pays to stay clued up with what's going on in the world of Bitcoin.

I feel your pain. Its crazy!

no, it's normally much much cheaper. It may be the new normal for some time. https://mempool.space/ when "memory usage" goes to below 300 it'll be near normal.

I'm getting quoted a $28 fee with exodus. Yesterday it was $38 but it's still too high at $28. Its normally around $3.

Yeah I know, I've read the replies here, but I still don't understand will the fees go down? I use Coinbase and its never been that high for me?

It's coinbase i use. Fee's never been so high

we don't know. It may become another ETH where fees go up and up to crazy levels and 3rd party solutions have to step in. It's very likely that the current stupidity will get boring/too expensive/all the fools have their money taken/ and it'll go back to normal. Perhaps a week. I just doubled what I usually get and paid the extra and will try to make that last.

Blocking mine aswell, can I get my missus to deposit on my coinbase account instead of using my starling account

Put your Mrs card on to your coinbase account and you can buy bitcoin if her bank allows crypto purchases

I've been pulling my hair out trying to sort this ffs, only used starling a few days ago to buy a Q,no problems ,my Mrs uses barclays and Internet says they're blocking crypto aswell

I just opened a Monzo account. Took a cpl days to verify I.D then another cpl for card to arrive. All good now tho. Hope you get sorted mate

I've used Monzo before.. they closed my account after I made a few crypto related purchases. Hopefully you have better luck

Yeah they've decided to block all crypto purchases.. How crap! Supposedly revolut allow them so I'm thinking of opening an account with them

Yeh mine won't let me

They have stopped doing it confirmed with customer services

My wallet app has this in the settings. Then when I goto the screen with my QR code to receive BTC I can swipe across to the legacy version

Legacy address is just your original Bitcoin address and should be available in your exchange account settings (by contrast LB generates a new address for every transaction). My understanding is they begin with a 1 if that helps?…,

I thought all hash was filtered;) you want to pay attention to the micron size it was filtered. 73 micron and 90 micron seem to be some of the best.

cheers lad

In a word.. yes.

thats what i was hoping. cheers bud

The last filtered I bought was the Mango haze x gush mints from Hashlover420… fucking ruthless.

May be easier to contact transaxe support through private message with the details.
Did you leave a review? Can't think of any other reason..

Not left a review as was waiting on the hash. Will contact transaxe support tho. Cheers

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.
