Get your own wallet, i've always used atomic wallet, and send to your own wallet first after buying btc from legit sites.
Don't ever send btc from legit sites to a transaxe address. A transaxe address is easy to spot and these legit websites aren't stupid.
Once you have your own wallet and you're asked that question again (if they still deal with you) put your own name down.
I use coinbase without issue (every single purchase made has been sent to the same address, my address) but many many folks have issues with Coinbase shutting them down, for doing exactly what you've done.
These websites could get into trouble aiding illegal purchases so they're just trying to cover their backs.

Thanks for the advice - I got Atomic wallet, so if I send to my own Atomic Wallet first, I can just send directly to other wallets from that with no requirements? :) I shall do that in the future, thanks.

Yes, when you buy, send to your own wallet, the one you're investing your btc into.😉
I've amassed almost a full btc right now in my wallet (according to coinbase 😉).
You can set your own fees with atomic, the more you pay the faster it clears.
Try to stay above 40 Sats, it's what the fees are called, you'll see it in atomic once you select 'set your own fees' or some such.
All the very best to you Osfos!✌️❤️

Bittylicious don't require additional information until 2027. Send to a non-KYC wallet like Exodus.

I use Exodus too; most banks have been fine with this wallet.

Hope you resolve it.

Firstly, Monzo does allow most crypto payments in my experience. But if you're looking for a new place to buy crypto i used Exodus and you can buy BTC from there via MoonPay (Monzo allows) or Blockchain.

So get a wallet with Exodus and give that a shot!

Grab a wallet like blue wallet and then use any ramp services. Cheapest way I believe.

Look into ramp crypto

There are a few different methods.

This is how I transfer fiat to crypto.

I bank with one of the big 4

Transfer fiat to a Revolut account

Purchase USDT on Binance using Revolut card, don't use Revolut exchange.

Then either transfer to Exodus before sending to vendor or send direct to vendor from spot wallet in Binance.

There will be other methods, probably better, but I have never had an issue.

Hope this helps

I didn't know this. It seems they stopped taking new customers way back in 2023.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to do what we wanted with our money...

I've always used Bitpanda simply sending btc direct to LB. Never had an issue.

What are the fees like, kraken feels high, bittylicious is at 7.6% fee as I'm typing this.

Variable depending upon traffic on the block chain. I usually pay about £2 on a £50 send.

Depends if you like saxaphones

More weed than LA

More weedshops than bathrooms, I had to hold it in till got to New Jersey.

I forward my Coinbase funds to my Exodus wallet & then pay on LB from Exodus.
When Coinbase asks where its going to, select 'Sending to myself'

Kraken is good atm. Also bittylicious is the best in my opinion. customers need to avoid using credit cards to buy crypto as thats what flags in the bank. what you need is to buy crypto for bank-transfer and that way it won't flag.

everyone needs to look into kycnotme it's full of non kyc exchanges. we really need to stop putting our government id's on these platforms.

for non marketplace btc i use revolut then transfer it to a safe wallet like electrum before sending it on. always try and have a middle wallet before the marketplace payment it looks less suspicious to the kyc providers

I used another one last night called Strike unfortunately its KYC but I bought £90 worth of BTC for an order and the fee was only £1.75 its quick and easy. I then sent it to my Exodus

I have always sent it to myself in the coinbase app and never had a problem with getting blocked 👍 when I make another purchase would it be ok to pop up the steps through bitcoin with pics when you get to this page you want to copy the code under the QR code once you have copied it open up your CB app and you want to send crypto to the code under the QR code then add note that will be the code above the QR code as that is your order number then their is a page in CB you tick the box that says send to yourself and continue to proceed still arranging pictures of the stages 😞

I usually use revolut banking app, can purchase btc in app then I just send the amount to a non kyc wallet (i use cakewallet) then send order amount 😇 never had any issues as I'm sending to my own wallet from revolut. Message me and I can send a referral link for revolut 😇✌🏻💚 big up

There are many, but you have to be realistic with cut off times and occasionally lenient with the pressure on vendors. The ‘need for speed’ causes more disputes on here than virtually any other issue.

The cardinal sin is when you pay for NDD etc and it doesn’t get sent that way. But most vendor’s seriously try to get that order out in line with their service promise.

Great NDD providers in my experience include The Gentleman Dealers, Dr Greenthumb, Dr Terpy and Canadian Imports (but check latest posting days)..

Hi Pollypuff

Spot on again my friend :-)

There is no way a seller can guarantee 100% once the parcel is in the system, many things can happen which are outside of the seller's control.

I see SD more as a way for the seller to see what happened with a parcel if it goes missing. Easier to agree on a refund if the seller can see you didn't get it (so a must for big orders).

As it stands I just received an order today which I ordered SD on Wed last week - posted on Thu according to seller.

I assumed that the Coronation had been wreaking havoc with RM services but looking at the enveloppes they used 1st class not SD.

I've just dropped them a message according to the LB etiquette. Probably an oversight on their behalf.

I remember all too well how I used to get my wares - and what I used to go through - before discovering LB.

As long as it arrives - and the quality and quantity match the order - I'm not fussed.

Cheers

This exactly. If I paid for a NDD service and did not receive it, I would send a note to the vendor and see if they could make it right somehow, if it was that serious to get NDD.

But I also remember back some time ago (lol), when I had to go to the gas station pay phone, page my dude, hope that he calls back quickly, and then wait. Sometimes he’d come in 20 min, sometimes 3-4 hours. And even as of present day, prior to LB, dealing with bs about meeting here or there or where or when… So I have a fairly high pain tolerance for waiting, especially given how incredible it is that finally a place like this exists. But to give the op his due, I would have something to say to the vendor if I paid for something and didn’t get it. But let them make it right for you.

I totally agree. Some Biggas would react less angrily if they got a dog turd in their package than they do to NDD not arriving NDD! 😂

I know this is controversial and beside the point but I tend to order long before I run out so that does tend to help with the stress.

But I’m still the same as every other Bigga at the end of the day…checking for the post 15 times, grilling the Postie like it’s his fault and total disbelief that my fucking package hasn’t arrived the day after I ordered it!! 😖💥😖

But then it all comes good eventually and the world is back on its axis! 😶‍🌫️

I Hear You !

Hi Gortport

Totally agree - this place is like heaven :-)

I know they'll make it right, they're pros and have top ratings, my number one vendor.

Cheers

Hi Biggas

As it turned out the seller did make it right and then some.

In fact I was not upset about the SD not being SD but one of the order items was missing which was my main reason for messaging them.

They resent it with SD and added some freebie edibles :-)

Big massive hats off to DIUK for sorting it out with class, talk about customer service.

Goes a long way to prove that comms is what you need when things don't go as planned. That and sticking to top vendors.

Cheers

With you all the way Dukey!…the only orders I’ve had not ever arrive were sent (or not sent, being the point) by RM first class.
Tracking helps us all. I don’t need the numbers I just need the seller to check it when it’s late.
But you need to get what you pay for and where sellers offer premium postage that’s what you should get…👍👍

Thanks pollypuff

And I always make sure I have something squirelled away for the rainy days too ;-)

When I became unable to purchase BCs last Autumn I had a big enough stash to see me through Winter.

Cheers

Agreed Dude !

Been here since Jan. 25 or so orders in and I've not had a single fail to land. The longest wait I had was 4 days which was the only first class item of the lot. The rest were NDD/T24 and took no more than two days. Of the top off my head (and I sincerely apologise to any vendor I miss off) these ones I have ordered more than once from and they've arrived as advertised:

Dr Green Thumb
Pontiff of Piff
Pistach
Yourmumshouse
The Green Team
Gassed

There's a fair few I have had one order from and again was as advertised (Riley packs, Gen Hub 2.0, Green Cat all had some lovely product). Keen to see how the post plays out though as there's still some vendors I feel obligated to try out soon.

That's a shame. I've had three orders all drop next day recently. Hope you get sorted anyway.

ULC have always been top drawer for NDD in my experience. Even ordering at 11am delivered next day.

I'm currently waiting on ndd from pistach asked for Tn too

Pistach has been releasing some really good flower at knock out prices lately, they're probably getting overwhelmed with orders. I believe they're also on TG, so busy vendor. Honestly, their stuff is amazing, but sometimes pay a little extra with a vendor you've used before. Have to say though, I've ordered from Pistach and never had an issue, think you're just in the 1% bud :(

A shit place

Thanks for the shout out my friend 😎❤️

Eddys hash bar, have ordered from him twice. Both times came next day. Can’t praise him enough, great coms too

Can't look beyond Canadian Imports here...Super stealth and free NDD

GenHub2.0 & Rileys Packs always arrives on NDD for me, but so does UrbanLeafCo on 1st class & its free!!??

We always got you Tallman mate 💯❤️

Dr Green Thumb, RealD and Urban Leaf Co, order from all 3 always get it the next day no issue.

We absolutely can my friend get an order into us before 12 we can get it out that day for ndd..
In saying this sometime orders take a while to come through so we suggest making the order the evening before or in the morning.

Much Love

d i

Perfect then ;)

Never had a problem with this personally. Like others have said think that there is no guarantee a seller can give as it it down to the delivery service. For reliability I can vouch for Riley packs , pontiff, pistach and big shout to RealD every order of the shake with free shipping has landed ndd

Pistach, Riley packs and Just weed to name but a few.

Can tell my dyslexia kicks in more when I'm stoned by the fact the topic header I read first time was "Most Reliable Snipper on LB", I thought they only sold weed and shrooms lol.

In regards to your actual topic, The Green Team and The Pontiff are reliable, It's in venders interest to get it sent asap because they have to wait to get those funds from escrow. And if you're like me and live in the sticks with a less than reliable RM then i just accept delays. Also from reading the occasional manifesto it's clear some venders don't post ever working day. But it is always annoying to pay for a service you are not getting.

Our packs are shipped as per our manifesto. If you order NDD before cut off time it will be shipped accordingly.

Shocked to see how many people are not getting their items sent on time.

The one time we missed delivery, all buyers were informed and upgraded to saturday delivery to ensure they receive ASAP.

I send everything 1st Class for free, which usually takes a couple of days. Buyers can opt for Special Signed Delivery, but will have to pay for it. That said, I just recommend free 1st Class.

Honestly, never had an issue with any vendors here. However, special mention has to go to Dr Terpy, without fail, their Free 1st Class RM always arrived next day, and the quality has always been out of this world.

Flawless NDD from The Gentleman Dealers. 25+ buys

Been using these guys for years, never had any issues.

I have bad luck with Specials.

I have placed around 8 orders from different vendors over 4/5 months. My favourite is ULC as all orders from them have arrived the next day and they provide RM 1st postage for free. Top top vendor with super nice bud.

The Gentleman Dealers and then Canadian Imports. The odd time it's been longer than ndd it's been because of my stupid rural location and royal mail snafus

Check my reviews. Averaging 1 day for delivery. I always post NDD, just meet the cut off time of 1pm and you’ll have your parcel the next day :) this isn’t always the case as I don’t have control over postal companies but it is certainly the case for most customers

Check us out Free Special Next Day Delivery by 1pm.

We post mon-Saturday at 2pm my friend, cut off for NDD is 1pm x

I’ve sent special deliveries that have taken 4/5 days, other times I’ve sent first class signed for and it gets there in a day. From someone who been dealing with these thieving slow fuckers is it’s not the vendors fault if parcel goes missing or is delayed.

Yup, ordered 2oz of trim and hash Thursday evening paid for NDD.
Marked as sent Friday 1:30pm ish, no sign of it here.
Messaged them just now, so I can't comment on communication.
Not overly concerned if they've done a runner because we will get our refunds anyway.
I'm just pissed as it's my birthday this week and now I've got no money and no smoke 😭.
However normal Post seems to have a delay also, something completely unrelated to LB ordered Thursday and said would be here Saturday, turned up about 12:30pm today.
So may all be a coincidence with postal delays and them being AFK 🤷.
Hopefully it'll be here in the morning and all this will be irrelevant 🤞

Date of post would be helpful for LB to include?

Finally arrived a week after ordering and paying for NDD.
Product is good, service is shocking.
Probably my first and last order with them

Hopefully mate! It says he’s been online today so hopefully just worrying over nothing

Hopefully you’ll get it sorted bud

I’m hearing you pal. I had to borrow the money to buy this lot. They only agreed as I said I’d sort them an 1/8 out for doing so 🙈Cant afford any now till I get paid in 2 weeks time if this lot doesn’t show. I knew I should’ve waited till I heard back from them. Lessons will be learnt

I’m in the exact situation, I ordered hash last Thursday morning and paid for 24hour tracking,they marked it as sent at 1.30pm on Thursday but it didn’t arrive and I messaged them and they only said to let them know when it arrived, but it still didn’t arrive on Saturday so I messaged them again with no reply and unfortunately my order still hasn’t arrived as of Monday 24th June,so I have messaged again with me being a little pissed off as not only have they let me down but I have let down friends who were counting on receiving their Hash on Friday/Saturday as I paid for my delivery to be tracked,thank goodness I did. Just to add that I have made over 150 orders over my time on LB and have never had a dispute with a vendor,which is a pretty good record, so I really want this to be situation to be resolved asap.

Very similar situation to you mate. Never had an issue before. It was only after I didn’t hear back from them I’d noticed they’d not been on messenger for 3 day but says they were online today. Only bummer is I didn’t pay for tracking as he owed me a couple of free NNDs for a previous cock up. Fingers crossed we get our wares dude

I’m wondering the same thing,but we have proof that we paid for tracking so it’s up to them to prove that we received our orders, and as I’m pretty sure they can’t, they are liable for these orders, they just can’t get away with this shit,and if they have “Taken a week’s “ payments then they should be thrown out of LB!!

Has anyone heard from LVcannabis today, they messaged me yesterday afternoon saying that they were hectic on Friday and my order had been sent yesterday, but still nothing today,as I originally paid for 24hr Tracking I asked the question if they had used the 24hr Tracking but I’m yet to get an answer,which really doesn’t surprise me.
They said that Friday was such a busy day, but that actually means nothing to me because they had my order marked as sent on Thursday at 1.37pm, so the really busy claim on Friday doesn’t relate to my order, so I’m assuming that they absolutely lied to me and my order WAS NOT SENT ON THURSDAY!!
I can’t personally dispute this order until Saturday, so I won’t get my money back until next week,meaning I have no money to get hash that I should have had last Friday!!
This is so not acceptable and in my opinion this vendor needs to be taken to book with this totally unacceptable behaviour as a vendor on Little Biggy,they have left me with no hash for nearly a fortnight and according to the replies to this thread they have upset a few people and I’m not sure that LV can come back from this,it’s total nonsense and unacceptable and this vendor has got a lot of apologies to make!!

Just got home to find my parcel was delivered. I only briefly heard from them last night. I just think they’re really busy and maybe a little understaffed considering the amount of reviews they get and the prices they’re knocking it out at. If I were in your shoes I’d be super pissed too. It’s just a shame there communication isn’t great. Hope you get it sorted though dude

Still waiting 😔.
Glad to hear you've received yours!
Fingers crossed for you OSKAR 🤞.
Royale fucked my birthday week up at this rate 🤬

Yeah I totally agree about their lack of communication,it only takes a minute to send a message with an explanation of what is happening on their side, I will give it a little longer in consideration that you received your order,maybe I can blame Royal Mail for the hold up this time!!
Cheers buddy and thanks for the update in regards to your order being delivered,fingers crossed for tomorrow!!

Any news on when we can expect to see changes? The BTC gas fees are seriously hurting vendors and customers. 02/02/24.

God speed and good luck.

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.

usdt solana has been around for a while, stable and smallest fees around

this is correct, usdc is also a popular usd stablecoin.

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.

They will use an existing stablecoin on Solana.

Privacy is decent and network fees will be minuscule although you will need a tiny amount of SOL in order to transact.

is it actually tether? if so how will they avoid addresses being frozen if the wrong attention ever fell on here?

Definitely would be better with BCH. I don't trust solana one bit tbh

bch was deprecated the day it was born.

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

If you like ADA, check out ERG, basically a BTC successor without any VC backing, fair pre-mine, ASIC resistant, POW, eUTXO etc...

they should just switch to litecoin or even better monero

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

To little to late for some, how many customers have been lost now!?

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

It seems to of gone quite there was talk about it in December.

Yes you are right with the next generation of quantum computers and AI most sites are going to become even more vulnerable.

29/01/24

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

Good work guys. Have we any rough ETA's of when implementation will be? Wish I could help but I not very computer minded.

Have you got any links to your current works?

Any chance of an update on this blockhead?
