Using online banking apps like revolut monza is the way to go.ive had no problem with lloyds buying crypto,even the advisor I had a meeting with said I can't believe we're still allowing you to buy btc.Allowing me to spend my own money how I wish .But sign up for a I.s.a with 30k and earn Β£250 in 2 years. cheeky barstools.

Banks ban crypto
The banks have banned crypto. I can't buy anywhere. Where does this leave us?
Yeah looks like the banks just target some accounts , all these banks must have invested in crypto
Just wanted to update that my Blockchain account is working fine again and looks like it was a software issue. Just topped up and will buy a wee treat as my last order from Pistach still hasnt arrived after two weeks.
I am reading of a work around using crypto.com and revolut. Ba*k transfer to Revolut and convert to XLM as it has minimal fees, then send from there to Crypto.com and convert to BTC. Not tried it yet but apparently works a dream. Still waiting to have my money released back to me from a blocked bin*nce transfer
Lol some Bigga will have a heart attack from reading this . No problem for me also tho . Can still purchase my Bitcoin and receive easy . And get sent over
Since I had a poor run off once with the Halifax/Lloyds anti fraud team and felt like I was questioned for just wanting to buy some BCs from Bittylicious I have dropped attempting to use my bank. Just use a pre-paid card or a mobile bank like Monzo. Revolut is very pro crypto too.
It isnt. Its the same as Paypal. All you can do is buy, sell or hold. You cannot send any crypto currency from either of these platforms in the uk
with Revolut you can send to 2 pre-confirmed bitcoin wallet addresses. Thereafter you can use the coins as u wish.
I've bought and sent btc on Revolut to my exodus wallet a few times. You can send from revolut
This says it was updated today 12/12:

Do you have a source that I can read, regarding this?
I know some banks have been restricting certain transaction for several months now, but that seems to be on a case by case basis and also varies depending on the exchange and bank you use. Are you saying all banks have banned all crypto?

I found an article on FT. https://www.ft.com/content/1ac2880f-a599-45aa-ba95-694a3b94f144
Some are indeed hardening their stance but thatβs not the same as saying βbanks ban cryptoβ Lloyds Group has one of the hardest stances and no plastic will be accepted, but I can still just transfer, no problem.π€·ββοΈ
I've used my Lloyds card for years buying bitcoin. No problems whatsoever. I only do one purchase a month though.
Wankersπβ¦first time they blocked my card I ripped them a new one and they said they had cleared it. Next time it blocked they insisted it was Visa and not the bank and there was nothing they could do. Later they even blocked my transfer and it took two long conversations with the Fraud Dept, to get it cleared. Iβve been a Lloyds customer since God was a boyβ¦
Such fun!
Such fun!
I feel that. I always feel lucky when I read these tales of woe about banks blocking crypto because apart from an ill advised use of coincorner at the beginning of my lb journey, it's been plain sailing for me.
I use lloyds also, never ran into problems yet luckily.
When you say you can just transfer may be a stupid question but wym? I usually just use coinbase, buy bitcoin with my card then send it to my exodus from coinbase.
how would the process differ? I've heard the paypal route also which would be my first go too.(using paypal to buy bitcoin instead)
some knowledge would be helpful if you don't mind polly! hearing too much of this shit now

Hey benjwby,
I just send ££ to my Bitpanda account, buy btc when I need some and send it here when I make purchases. All done in secondsβ¦but Iβve had a few arguments with Lloyds when they stopped allowing credit or debit card payments, but transfers are instantaneous so π€·ββοΈ

yeah pretty much same way I do then apart from I use coinbase, must've just got it twisted.
oh no i see now you dont buy btc with bitpanda but send Β£ to it then buy the btc, i see how that would avoid cards now lmao
got there in the end.. a brilliant idea that should of been obvious
and damn, Lloyds would have a hard time getting hold of me anyways haha, I barely answer random numbers. Had no emails ect. and hope i don't lmao.
thanks for always helping polly

Cant send btc from paypal or revolut. Buy, sell or hold is all you can do. Until the end of Nov I could buy with my card via Coinbase, but CB have ripped me off and my bank stopped card transactions with crypto as of Dec 1st (Virgin Money). This method of purchase has been a laborious pain in the arse from the off but its getting ridiculous now. All I want to do is buy my medicine
I sent btc from revolut to exodus yesterday. Sent it a few times and I see others are also managing to send from revolut. And I've also sent straight to my coinbase wallet
oh man.. doesn't sound good:(, end of nov was when i last purchased too..
let's hope for the best..
let's hope for the best..
Not looking good for next year no. Not for buying with Crypto anyway, which is fine as I've zero interest in it other than buying smoke. Something has to give somewhere. I'm hoping legit sites like this and their legalities will change
Do it they are fair and straight forward to somebody who used to be with Halifax bit of a piss take waiting for my wages during night at desperate times lol Lloyds I hear was faster process so since then stuck with Lloyds. Just a guess but don't suppose you maybe have an email saying you just need some identification sent to your ideal crypto machine? I had to send some I'd to continue purchasing couple months back if I didn't do this I could not purchase . Just check any emails in case you have this or any of you check to see if an email saying just need some I'd to confirm who you are . I was confused for a while until I seen the email.
No I'm verified and thats not the issue. Thanks though. Just the banks I'm with I'm afraid. Each transfer has been returned
Its no use saying you can still transfer with a shrug. Good for you. But if this isnt paid attention to then no one is buying or selling anything on any crypto based market anywhere. Lloyds group has anything but the hardest stance. As it appears, Santander has clamped down completely, with Virgin not far behind....
I just sent a couple of quid to coinbase to check this went through fine with Santander they clamped ages ago you need to delete the app and go through the main website for whatever reason this works give it a go. This thread is going to worry people unnecessarily i know itβs not the intention but this is not crypto doomsday where thereβs a will thereβs always a way no need for anyone to panic
That may have worked for you but as ive stated already, all three of my banks have banned any and all crypto transactions. Coinbase ripped me off 300 dollars too which I'm still trying to chase up. Crypto is a disaster and the powers behind it need regulating or it will forever be an unstable and complicated risk. It's not about panic it's about reality, and its going to get worse. I'm not here to argue so it's cool, just conversation about this issue, as it is a valid one that no one seems to bothered about. All I'm getting is "well it worked for me" which is all very well, but it's going to get much harder next year. If you did that type of transaction from Santander then well done, you won't be able to next year. That's just a fact I'm afraid
I was only suggesting it incase you hadnβt tried it A lot of people just use the app. Not here to argue either just trying to help and point out there will be ways round it. Other people have given you good options to try also new bank accounts you could open etc. No harm having a convo just thought the title was a litle dramatic thatβs all. Anyway hope you get it sorted βοΈ
Thankyou. Aye I wish I'd worded it slightly different. Banks banning crypto perhaps. Seems to be a bit of pot luck really. From what I read between here and Reddit lots of people are having issues, but many with the same banks having no issues at all. But aye. It seems chucking your money through a few more hoops between accounts in different entities is the way to go
Well very good you can Polly and thats great. Not all of us are with your bank though and its causing some of us major problems. As it seems LLoyds/Tsb are one of the only banks to still allow this, they will have to tow the line with the FCA next year same as everyone else. So again, where does this leave us?
Well you can read that link I sent you at the top of the page showing all the banks etc you can useβ¦good place to start?π€·ββοΈ
Doing a Chicken Little impression on here isnβt going to solve anythingβ¦.just sayinββ¦
There are other clear web cannabis sites that use non crypto payments- maybe in time LB will have to follow?

Chicken little? Steady on. I suffer from severe anxiety and this is my medicine which is becoming increasingly harder to get. I read your misleading article yes, but am I about to change my entire banking system to buy my medicine here? Methinks nay. There's no need to be insulting. I havent had medicine for three days and I feel like shit. I'm perfectly entitled to my frustrations thanks
I donβt quite know what answer you are looking for?
There are still various ways to buy crypto and spend it here. How else can we help?
There are still various ways to buy crypto and spend it here. How else can we help?
As my original question was, and with more and more baks becoming hostile to crypto, I was hoping for a sensible conversation on secure alternatives, which is why I asked where does this leave us? Meaning could LB go the legitimate payment way? Honestly, the vendor I use has some of the best hash I've ever come across, and I'm a veteran of 30 years! I'd be gutted to not give him my business, which I am trying to do today. Like I say, I've tried with three different ba*ks to ban transfer to Bina*ce today with all being returned. So, I'm glad it all works so smoothly for you. Alas this is not my experience so I'm just trying to discuss alternatives
If you want to effect change on LB you can always start an initiative:
https://littlebiggy.org/viewSubject/p/4755913
Iβm thinking it will be quicker to open a crypto friendly bank account personally but thatβs up to you.
Iβm sure other Biggas will share their methods.
Good luckπ

Santander and Virgin Money are big ones. Apparently Lloyd's Tsb are about the only ones not to have gone for it, but they will. Santander banning all crypto activity as of next year
Iβm with Lloyds. Every time I try and buy the blue buy button doesn't work. I just keep pressing it. Iβm just buying small amounts so it shouldnt be an issue. Maybe it is a software glitch.
No me neither. I've also lost 300 dollars to Coinbase, who denied me having any balance, despite me sensing screenshot of the balance in the app

Crazy btc fees

Crazy btc fees
Not able to buy at present as btc fees are insane. The cheapest fee on my wallet at the moment is 36 quid to make payment on 7 grams. It's usually around a quid. Anyone shed any light on this? I've no real idea about btc and hate having to use it
Just paid 17 quid on fees for a 60 quid order. Will fix itself with time but itβs shambolic that transaxe havenβt incorporated any alternative coins.
Just tried to make a purchase today and no they aren't at all. There's no way I'm paying an extra 20 to 30 quid in fees to buy a quarter. This needs sorting out with another more stable coin option
Does this impact the processing time? I've used Exodus for the first time and reduced the fees down and now it's stuck in pending for the last 2 days.
My Exodus transfers are normally good to go in less than 30 minutes. Some have even been less than 10 mins. Is it pending on Exodus or LB?
Pending on Exodus and LB. I reduced the fee right down but it said 30-60mins transfer time. I've PM'd transaxe but waiting to hear back, the payment is being shown as being received at LB end but stuck as waiting to be confirmed. Always used coinbase without issue before but not paying a fortune in fees for an 1/8th
I believe if you reduce the fee, it slows things down. Coinbase closed my account for shits and giggles so I don't use them any more, Exodus seems so much better (at the moment)
Zengo wants a tenner to send 60, but revolut wants 17 to send 60 to 70 to Zengo. My bank didn't like Exodus or Binance or Coinbase, hence why I'm using revolut
Iβve had that this week too. Sent my payment for order as usual and found out I had only part paid. Checked my payment and I only send Β£20 and paid Β£40 in network fees without realising. Now itβs wanting to charge me Β£25 to send Β£5 and that includes converting it to $$$. Now Iβm stuck.
Oh I am sorry. I got stung at Revolut 34 quid on a sixty purchase to send the btc to my wallet, now I'm the same. It wants 35 to send to my vendor. God I hate using crypto. Irritates me every time to pay these random fees to someone so I can spend my money
Hello. So this seems to have settled now into between 20 and 30 quid fees I need to pay between Revolut and Zengo. No way I'm paying 30 quid fees to buy a quarter. Have you had anymore luck or are you still having issues too?
Thanks. Yeah it's calmed down a lot bit still extortionate. Sure it will be back to normal over the weekend
I buy on Revolut and send to Zengo then pay from there. The Revolut fees were nuts alone, so now my moneys sat in the wallet but can't send it anywhere as it will cost me so much to do so
no its not dirt cheap we also get hit by the congestion $40 fee for a $70 order $45 fee for $240 order both are stupidly high but ive not checked thismorning best i go take a look
and we also get stung sending the btc from the exchange to ledger but binance does pay back the fee
Yeah this is insane cant place any orders because exchanges are charging Β£15 - Β£20 on a Β£36 order !
I use Santander and coinbase, fees have been a little high a few quid rather than about a quid but nothing to bad
I was using Coinbase but even they have been Β£15 -20 instead of standard, its not the purchase fee its the network fee for sending to wallets
Aw I get you, I donβt bother with sending to a wallet been doing it over 3 years and no problems but understand you do it for extra security. Good luck finding a way round things βοΈ
Haha I don't think I explained well. I send straight from coinbase. The standard Β£1.99 fee for buying btc has stayed the same, the network fees are imposed when sending the BTC(to pay the vendor) To the vendors wallet address.I don't think the extra security really matters(if you have bought using bank account and provided ID you are not anonymous?) I have looked at a few other exchanges even tried Binance but they were even worse nearly Β£30 for a Β£78 order O.o worse yet there is no way to see how much it is gonna cost until you have bought the BTC and go to send!
Haha.. aw no way that's so shit I only payed a few quid on a $70 order at the start of the week I must of got lucky with the time and maybe the bank you use makes a difference it's all pretty confusing what's going on at no π€ have you tried ordering late at night or the early hours of the morning?
Hey I just downloaded the coinbase one wich is coinbase sister in my mind lol but it saves you some fees and you do pay 20 a month for this coinbase one but you save fees added on. Not much but it helps or even some people use these revolut accounts wich I'm tempted to look into. I'm trying difrent things out testing few ways myself but I see there alot of biggy that are very unhappy with the fees. I don't understand why I'm not feeling the bad fees. I don't think it's that bad and I don't earn lot of money myself butt it doesn't seem that bad to me. Maybe difrent for everyone considering what they use for exchange etc. Bless mate anyway hope you find one that works for cheaper
Can you buy using coinbase one ? Any chance for a link ? I would happily pay Β£20 a month rather than per order as I order quite a lot and for 2 other people as well. Might be that this is they way forward. I probably put 20 orders in over the course of a month anyway!
Yeah if u down load the coinbase one. Even if you make a payment just on your normal coinbase it will detect the sister and will automacily take some fees off. I did earlier to test it and took some off. Just coinbase one online. Straight to it also a month free trial
Been asking for over a year now for a different payment option using another chain this was inevitable lol. Anyone thinking this is going to go back to <$1 for a transaction misunderstands why the fees have gone up.
It's demand. Prices have dropped so dealing has increased, there has been a bit of a run on the market leading to higher charges to trade. It has started to calm down now, this dies happen periodically

New crypto regulations

New crypto regulations
Does anyone know anything about this? I recieved an email today from Revolut saying that from tomorrow I will need to give more information when withdrawing crypto, ie, the persons name im sending to, my address, etc. Anyone else had anything like this?
I had it from luno today it panicked me a bit at first then I just put in a made up name(bound to be somebody's name)from the UK and it all went through fineπβ
How on earth they gonna verify that if it goes to a non kyc wallet π€£. It's clutching at straws to be seen to be doing something to regulate. After that UK banking license.
How long before they start analysing the names and notice that Don Incognito seems to be getting a lot of payments?
Reading back through this, you're actually talking about KYC requirements for yourself? You have to sign up with that with almost any exchange. It's not new.
No. Im not. Ive been through all that long ago. Im talking about new crypto regulations in the uk, as ive already stated. Id done all my KYC requirements. Now im being asked for this info while buying btc in my usual way
So how do you get around id verification with a fake name? Im now being asked for driving licence, name and address anywhere I try and buy btc
This was a response in terms of them asking you who you are sending your btc on toβ¦π
Seriously. Is this honestly how easy it is to get around these regs by giving a duff name? What about giving your address? Ive not tried yet and just made a purchase yesterday, but surely it cant be as easy to get around as that
Hi, I received the same email from Revolut.
I've just made a transfer to them in GBP from my bank account, then bought BTC from my Cryptopay wallet, ( no questions asked from them yet!) , using the linked Revolt card, this went through ok.
I've just made a transfer to them in GBP from my bank account, then bought BTC from my Cryptopay wallet, ( no questions asked from them yet!) , using the linked Revolt card, this went through ok.
Yeah my crypto wallet is now asking for name, address and driving licence when doing that too
In fairness when I tried buying and withdrawing to transaxe from revolut about 6 months ago, I got someone asking where every transfer was going. Between that and the high fees I gave up with it.
Its not about that either. These are new crypto regs right across the board. Every answer here says either give a fake name or try this and ive had no problems. Ive tried a lot of different ways and with these new rules, I cant buy btc anywhere without giving name, address and drving licence
Believe me ive been through several different set ups getting around various rules. I buy btc in revolut and send to zengo wallet and that works fine but yes, fees. Ive been through coinbase and different banks but those have all been eliminated for me down to the banks blocking my crypto transactions. Its been a total headfuck at times with money disappearing and having the headache getting it back. The proverbial "they". Always spoiling our fun
I just buy on zen go and send to translate on zengo. How come you don't buy on zengo with banxa ?
Ive tried doing that but my bank wont allow it. Now Zengo and Revolut both ask for name, address and driving licence verification
Oh yes I have given all my details , I thought they want the address and name of the vendor your sending it too
Yes. You give all these details in registration. Im talking about these new regs where ive to give my name, address and driving licence when making a btc purchase. Ive had a look again this morning and both revolut and zengo are asking for name, address and id verification before I can buy btc
Strange my zengo has been fine and even if they ask for details sant we just give them again ?
I was the same. If you notice the payment still goes though so I have just ignored the request for more details.
I used it no probs at the weekend (revolut). I did find the other week it was asking for details after transaction so once all transaction was completed I just deleted the transaction. Good luck in solving your issue, where thereβs a will, thereβs a way.
Whats happening with me is im now being asked for all these details whenever I try and buy btc, wherever I try and buy. Im not going to give my name address and driving licence everytime I buy btc. Where is this info being stored? And by who? Its sketchy sketch and defeats the purpose of non traceability
The only thing I can think is maybe buying to much in small amounts and bank flagged you up. Iβm new to this myself mate so my advice maybe useless.
Monzo just closed my account (well, gave me 2 months before they do so) I'm assuming because of weekly bitcoin purchases as I don't launder money and 90% of my spending is travel and takeaways with the odd Amazon or eBay purchases. All easily verified.
Looks like the end man. Was nice while it lasted. Back to my street plug and the just okay Lemon Haze I guess.

Don't go back to your street plug man. Get a suits me prepaid account. Open a high street account or get a starling account if online banking is your penchance and just transfer straight to your pre pay in order to buy.
I transfer from account straight into coinbase, then buy usdc and convert to bitcoin.
Never had any problems.

Yes but as of today, new regulations will mean you have to give more info when moving crypto around so they can trace everything. You will have problems in future

Btc insanity
Anyone else getting seriously sick of using btc and paying ridiculous fees and waiting days to clear? I buy once a month now to try and avoid this hassle, but its the same every time. 20 quid in fees this time on a 14 g order and 24 hrs later its still not cleared. Already out of medicine and im way way long ago sick of this complicated bs method of payment. Anything I read on here both vendors and customers are being screwed using this method of payment. Surely theres a more stable, fast way of payment than this!!

Is no one at LB listening?!
So. Another nightmare with btc today. I ordered two days ago, have paid stupid fees and even increased them, and now were at 27 hours since increasing the fee and not one confirmation. This has been going on too long. Isnt it about time to switch to more stable coin options? These btc issues have been getting worse and worse yet no alternatives provided by LB. Are there any plans to refine this shitshow? This is a wonderful idea and community, totally let down by the worst payment method on earth. The longer my btc sits in the wallet the more it loses value. Contacted Zengo and been told to just be patient. The longest a payment has taken to clear has been six days. This is an appaling joke
I think your using a shiity wallet (zengo)
Because you can choose the network fee you wanna pay to avoid network delays etc.
Goto memepool.space and paste in your transaction i.d
Should tell you a rough ETA and will tell you what your average Sats/VB used to pay network fee..
I assume it was around 16Sats/VB used to send your transaction and currently btc network is only processing transaction with 72Sats/VB at the moment

Dont assume anything about me. These fees are disgraceful, and vendors just say pay the higher fees as if thats a solution. It isnt. Its got nothing to do with the wallet or the service I use. The blockchain network is more congested than its ever been. Im trying to buy some smoke. I could care less about paying some unknown ridiculous fees to transfer my money. Paying higher fees to bitcoin isnt the answer and has nothing to do with my questions. Bitcoin is an unstable piece of shit and an alternative has been required a long time
Cheers. Very helpful. Remind me to recommend you to no one ever. Thats your solution? Pay the high fees? Even though theyve been double the price of the order? Wise up
So like I was trying to explain with my first message is itβs not btc fault your wallet provider is a cheap stake.
I assume your transaction was sent with roughly 16Sats/Vb .. as you can see in the screenshot all transactions under 22Sats/vb have No Priority to be processed anytime soon.
Btc is literally the most stable and reliable crypto.. you wanna pay with dogecoin and let Elon musk dictate the price .. or maybe monreo.. the hottest coin ever.
Just goto the street corner and pick up a draw thatβs my advise for someone like you..
At least Iβm being honest π

Honestly. There are many words to describe you I wont use. If I cant afford to pay the fees? Im on benefits after a nervous breakdown when my partner died, and weed is my medicine. Youve not only been rude but also presumptious, arrogant and offensive. Btc is far from stable as is obvious to the thousands struggling with payments as I am at the moment. Your ego is as large as your bank balance no doubt. I paid almost 25% of my order price in fees and still not one confirmation. Youve made the wrong assumption but I assume you do that with everyone. You think thats ok for someone on benefits trying to order their medicine? Dont respond anymore. Youre not helping. Youre just being arrogant. Someone like me? Thanks for prejudging me π
Yes someone like you who has no clue how crypto works..
Your not a doctor to be prescribing yourself medication.
Iβve explained in my first message everything you needed to know to figure out when your transaction will be confirmed etc ..
you just like complaining I guess..
You made a public post so I have the right to comment regardless if you like what Iβm saying or not.
Very simple solution to all your problems.. buy weed from the streets lol
I donβt know what you want.. like as if the world revolves around your transaction
And yes i prejudged you based on your two messages.. your OP and Reply to my first message

have I been doing this all wrong or what?
hi, am I doing something wrong?
I've just spent Β£65 to buy btc for a Β£55 order
revolut -> coinbase -> exodus has taken more than Β£10 in transfer fees alone, so that now I'm going to have pay transfer fees again, just to top up the money (that was already more than I needed) that I've spent moving it around. am I doing something wrong? I'm happy with Lb as a website/service but it's the getting btc and spending that seems so unintuitive. spend money (a significant) amount just to move money.

I too have similar problems!
Also, sometimes I have enough BRC in my wallet for a transaction, then tells me I have insufficient funds. So thatβs another Β£60 transferred to make up a couple of pounds shortfall!

I had the same question. I looked to purchase yester maybe 3-4 o clock and the transaction fee was Β£9 something which I didn't want to do. I went back this morning and it was Β£3. Its to do with the transaction volumes and is a fee imposed my bitcoin miners based on transaction popularity. Its annoying but perhaps try at a less busy time.
I've noticed it change while I wait, though I've had to buy more anyway, it wasn't always that high. I've just learned that btc transfer fees rise and fall (I'm still kinda new to it all lol) and they're a bit higher than usual, ycharts shows it's about 4x what is from about 3 weeks ago. so it's making a bit more sense now.
maybe some other users are aware of ways of skipping at least some of the fees while still being "safe"

I've stopped ordering on here until they offer LTC or something else with low fees. Can't face the amount ot costs transferring these days.
I had same this mornin swear to God was paying enuf then taken me like 5 attempts to get the fees right. 10 pound extra fees. But it sent in the end
Thankyou! Ive been waiting for a transaction to confirm for three days.now after paying 25 on a 120 order. Sats have skyrocketed again today after it having half an hour to clear this morning. I posted in LB help about this last night and had a patronising moron vendor called Real D say i deserve to go to the streets and shouldnt smoke if I cant afford the fees. I tried recently to order 7g and the fees were 118. Mental, and no use to anyone. Lb arent listening though
Same vendor was also trying to say Btc is the most stable coin. What a joke! Just to get some smoke?

i'm extremely new to this site but i ordered from Real D and got caught short on transaction fees, i messaged him as my payment was Β£6 short and he was cool
about it and said not to worry this time and marked the item as paid.. was only a day or so ago so haven't actually recieved the order yet but feeling hopeful..

Yesterday, I encountered a challenge when cashing out Β£3000 to a recipient. The fee associated with this transaction amounted to Β£350. This fee was a result of the accumulation of various payments, and as a vendor, it's becoming increasingly challenging to manage these costs, especially considering the site fees. Balancing the need to absorb these fees while also keeping costs down for customers is proving to be quite a complex task. GAW

I've reached out to all borgs, urging them to bring the issue to the attention of the administrators. If each of us sends a message, it could potentially strengthen our case and demonstrate to the administrators that significant changes are necessary for the survival of both vendors and the community. The increasing difficulty posed by fees from both the customer and vendor perspectives needs to be addressed, and collaborative efforts in highlighting these concerns may contribute to a more sustainable solution.

So I've been using coinbase for the last 2 years and all of a sudden they want Β£75 to send Β£35. Im used to paying a few quid for the send fee but....WTF !!!
Don't know what triggered this or if there has been a policy change amongst the crypto exchanges...any ideas ??? I can't believe people are paying this so Im definitely doing something wrong

Yeah I got hammered 40% of the order price the other day, but needed my herb so had to pay it sadly, I said 2 years ago Biggie needed to use something like Nexo or Monero, even XRP, BTC is not viable long term here, should have been thought about by the admins a long long time ago.
I been having back and forth with the coinbase help team they keep telling me change the speed of how fast you want to send BTC the slower the cheaper. But there is no option in setting to change that not for the UK coinbase but for the US only. I even said to them I wanna transfer from coinbase wallet back to coinbase main app and then maybe sell and buy another coin like LTC and its still wanting $34 to transfer $27 this BS network fee. Just become a joke. I use Paybis on LB fee are not as bad but around $8+ network fee and about $3/4 other fee depends on how much your spending. But It's a straight forward to use. ( just make sure u add the fee when your sending amount sometime it won't add it and then you will have to pay the fee twice) Good luck
P.s one thing I did notice on occasions the fee went down significantly bit still not justifiable after midnight UK time. But then check in the morning again went higher then the day before. As mad as that sounds try it.

I donβt send from an exchange anymore, I donβt ever us a CEX, no need to, I just run everything through MetaMask or Ledger now, itβs a far easier expierience imo, but slowing down the speed isnβt that much cheaper, can take literally 40 hours, thatβs just stressful and panic inducing, the fact is high BTC fees are here to stay imo, so a viable solution needs to be found, XRP sent and received in seconds, might cost a dollar to send, thatβs what we need, this just canβt be good for buyers or vendors can it. BTC is a storage of wealth, itβs not a payment processing currency, people need to stop treating it as such.
Peanut Iβm feeling you dude
This afternoon I had $147 dollars in my account, placed an order for $130 dollar went to pay, $30 dollar fee for the transfer ! Didnβt want to cancel on the vendor and muck them around so had to buy more bitcoin to cover fees my half oz ended up costing me about 175 dollar

Hey peanut,
Donβt worry youβre not doing anything wrong, network fees atm are just ridiculous. Itβs all based on congestion on the blockchain and the miners will set prices higher during busy times and thereβs nothing we can do about this unfortunately (unless an alternative currency was used).
Fees tend to come down in the evening and early hours of the morning (UK time) as less people in america are trying to process their transactions.
It can vary every couple of mins so iβd recommend checking a few times in the evening and after midnight as youβll hopefully find cheaper fees then.
I had a Β£45 fee on a $135 order all weekend and this morning i managed to put the order through when the fees were around Β£14 so iβm sure youβll find a time when the fees are reasonable for you to order.
Hope this helped and good luck with the offers! π

It's Blockchain congestion, most exchanges are charging ridiculous network fees, it's not just Coinbase. Plenty of biggas are waiting for the fees to drop before they buy, I can't justify dropping the price of a Q just to move BTC from one wallet to another.
Ah yeah... just read all the other posts. Seems this is a universal problem and not just me (captain paranoia strikes again!!)...has this happened before cos I have ordered fairly regularily over 2 years and never had this problem...is it likely to resolve or am I going to have to start hanging out in dodgy places with dealers again ?
It will calm down eventually. There have been spikes for the past month or so, and earlier in the year there were congestion problems too.
As others have already noted, alternatives to BTC would make all the difference. It is being worked on as far as I am aware so hopefully there will be other payment options next year. In the meantime all you can do is check the network fees and hope you get lucky.

Same here. Just did a pre BC trade to see what Bittylicious are charging, and for a value of Β£24.00, the total with fees are just over Β£42.00!! That's almost an 80% mark-up. As i mentioned in a previous post, this will kill the LB community. Also from what i've heard, these fees are here to stay for the forseable!
I just used my Revolut account to send $55 and the fee was just $12
Forced into it really cos my coinbase has blocked my Lloyds account and my Revolut.
All sorted in less than 30 mins then :-)

I turned down the speed, to make the network fee more reasonable $10 on a Β£130 instead of $45. I changed it from 158 to 40, normally my transactions approve in 30 minutes, but its been 8 hours and still not processed. If anyones interested say and I'll update on the
processing time.

40 sats/VB? Mate your gonna be waiting ages. I'm stuck at 118 sat/VB since last night. Might have to buy more coin and see if I can speed up the transaction from exodus wallet. FML BTC is starting to piss me off
I know but I'm not in a rush.
The fees are starting to drop at the moment.
Looks like they are down by 50-60% right now

I'm not sure tbh mate, it might end up coming back to you @ 40 sat/VB. Don't look at the $ amount on mempool, look at the sat/VB amount that is being processed at the moment. Mine finally went through at 6pm yesterday thankfully.
Yeah I think you might be right, the fees rose again today and trending up.
Nice one for getting yours through
Nice one for getting yours through
UPdate: fees are down to 105 sat on the last block processed this morning, trend is down.
Order finally went through on 4th January at 40 sats. I guess the lesson is to pay more attention to what is going on with the BTC and Exchange, especially at busy times.
My last purchase I paid way too low a fee and even once id accelerated it it took three weeks to confirm. When it did eventually confirm the order went through. Check Mempool. At the moment 40 sats wont even get a sniff as low priority is 200 sats and 153 and above is taking over an hour. Yep. Truly sucks. Sorry you are having this experience
Yes, but the fees are dropping at the moment.
I checked last night and the median was about $35-$40 its currently at $15
I checked last night and the median was about $35-$40 its currently at $15
Doesnβt really solve the issue though, fees are still high, you spend 12 hours checking every ten minutes shitting your pants that it actually gets there, then causing delays on dispatch in an already in places slow service, βRM not vendorsβ generally. Itβs just becoming a bit of a hassle rather than a godsend it used to be.
It's a new level of shit right now, been waiting for the fees to come down cos I couldn't afford the original $60 but this morning the fee for a cart of $138 was $150 on eco. Not quite the Christmas present I was looking for.
I stocked up a bit before and had ti accept the fees, very very begrudgingly but Iβm waiting for a cart that I kind of needed for Xmas day while out away from home and itβs not come, been 13 days, reship sent on Tuesday NDD still not here, thatβs the ultimate insult to the fees, I paid the massive fees and still out of my shit, insult to injury, youβre not the only one man, itβs deffo been a massive hassle this year.

Hi all,
I know this isn't the thing to do, but I usually just buy and send bitcoin from Coinbase & haven't had any issues in doing so.

Traffic on the blockchain- btc is going to the moon.
Miners set their fees so that they charge whatever they want for the fastest speed. Transactions like ours are at the bottom of the pool. Imagine what someone trading $50m is prepared to pay for speed?

People sending half a BTC are paying $2k in fees. I can't be the only one that currently watches the blockchain in real time? Mempool.space is a great site. There was one wallet that has had trillions pumped through it. Probably best not to dig any deeper into that one...
Aye. Im watching Mempool today completely fucked off. After the last fee spike and the time it took to sort out, im not throwing anymore money into this stressful bs waiting game. Simply cant buy here, and DGT is about the only guy I wish to buy from anywhere. Its obscene that such a great idea is let down by the worst payment method you could imagine. Im just not using btc, anywhere, ever again
Maybe admins should have a thought about using other coins usdt/xmr or whatsoever with less fees..
Same here I didn't even notice today since I was used to 1-2β¬ fees..
And out of 60β¬ order I spent 30β¬ on fees and before I realized it it was too late... Also I was stupid enough to cancel the rest of the order so now I'm asking the Borg if we can undo the canceling and pay(when fees are lower) the remaining amount since these 30β¬ fees are
already lost.. so cheers:P

Order now expired
My payment has been waiting to confirm for 4 days and my order has now expired. Does this now mean ive lost my money?! Ive tried cancelling it at wallet end but cant because blocks are already loaded into the blockchain apparently. Even if I got the money back to the wallet, Id still have to pay yet more fees to get it back to my bank. This is the rankest smoke buying experience ive ever had. Vendor ghosting me too. Wtf do I do now?!
Hi mate
If the order has expired, once your funds clear on the blockchain it should just bounce back to your wallet.
As MightyRux has said, contact transaxe for clarification but I'm pretty sure the funds will return to your wallet so you've not lost your money!
Hope you get sorted soon. ULC

Hey. You sorted yet? Im now three weeks and that payment stillnot confirmed. Paid the highest fees I could from my wallet and still stuck waiting to confirm as fees were too low. I do not know how the 20 i paid in fees converts to such low fees paid, but im fucked if im giving them more to only wait days for the coin to bounce back to my wallet. Ive had replies saying I havent and wont lose my money, but I cant spend it til it comes back, which is whenever, so its as good as gone. In a pretty heavy depression as been two weeks without any smoke. This situation sucks and is anathema to the whole idea of this site, or so I believed. 130 stuck in the blockchain for nearly three weeks. This is shit
What platform did you send it from? Just wondering if it's low mining fee problem. It's been taking much longer with Coinbase recently.
Contact Transaxe Support with the order number and they should be able to advise about the pending transaction. You haven't lost your money.
I find very often that you're looking at about 3 days for responses, and definitely shouldn't expect anything over the weekend. It'll all be fine, but I appreciate it's a nightmare when your coin is tied up and you have no official reassurance.
Thanks for the reassurance and the positive response. Lets hope it resolves and the fees calm down soon so I can get another order in!

Gas fees are dependent on Blockchain traffic, it has nothing to do with what exchange you use. As a rule fees are lower when it's night time in the US. You can check current gas fees on Coinmarketcap or Google gas fee tracker.
Check out this thread, been going on the last few days

Coinbase 'network fee'
Coinbase seems to have added a large network fee for sending BTC to web addresses. Any one have any solutions to avoid paying this?
Itβs a BTC problem not a Coinbase one.
BTC fees are high right now because there are more transactions ongoing than usual and people are willing to pay lots to prioritise their transaction.
Fees will return to previous amounts, likely within a couple weeks.
So basically youβre going to have to pay the ridiculous fee or wait it out.

Coinbase still seem to have higher fees than everyone else though so looks like they take longer to reduce their rate when the blockchain starts to calm down. Exodus was showing a transfer fee of Β£4.02 but CB wanted over Β£13 to transfer into Exodus.
Have you tried coinbase one account? You still have to pay the network fees, they are slightly cheaper though. SWIM bought an oz @ Β£160, cost Β£9.45 to send. You avoid paying on the purchase of BTC and only pay network fees. Yeah this is due to BTC going up to the 30k mark again. Happened a while back too.
Yeah my network fee for buying 14g of shake was Β£9.45. Absolute joke! may go back to my local till its sorted. never had such a high fee in 4 years
22/11/23 Been watching network fees on CB .... last night 10ish was Β£10.46, a hour later Β£13+, this morning 7am Β£15, 11am Β£9+. Just waiting it out for a bit longer (this is an inTolerance break). Oc once the fee drops there is always a chance it will take ages/too long and order expires.
17/11 am.
Just went to see how much a gram would of cost, gram came to 9.32 and the transaction to send was 10.45 total cost came to Β£19.77
Had to cancel obviously. That's on coinbase.

It's been so bad this week but starting to come down now. Just watched it go from Β£18 to Β£4 over the weekend. I think they are forking onto a new blockchain currently to reduce fees. I need to read into it, wouldn't be surprised if they're finally upgrading to Litecoins lightning network chain.
Side note. How good would Littlebiggy be with a Litecoin wallet!?

Just paid Β£5 to buy and Β£9.50 to send, lol for 14g. Fees were over 10% the cost of the weed. Canβt justify this anymore, will be going back to the streets for now :(
anyone keeping their ear to the ground on this? kept checking for weeks, but done with creating orders just to cancel. if anyone keeps checking back daily, a little dm would be appreciated! :)
Fees are still high itβs gone from like 14 pound somin down to 13 pound somin over the last few days itβs a complete joke! π€¦ββοΈ
haha. nightmare... i've 71 quid in the base and refuse to top up more to cover fees. crazy money.
They made Bitcoin great again by bringing culture into it with Taproot Wizards. Now because of the Wizards we have to pay $20 to transfer bitcorn
16th I paid Β£8 in revolut fees for a $70 order
Nov 2nd Β£3.80 varies very week
For the price we have to pay it's still decent.

A couple of hours ago I was quoted 15 to send any amount from exodus just looked again and itβs 9.80 Iβm going to wait to see if it goes back to normal
Could try kraken, it's fees are a lot better but the wording used in the app and website make things needlessly complicated compared to coinbase. Oh and there's a 72 hour wait period before you can send or withdraw btc or any other digital currency, only for the first time on a fresh account though.
i did order a couple hours back with 50 and the fees literally swallowed half of it sending it to exodus from coinbase then to the btc address through exodus, feels bad
Its awful this. Really bad. Its not a reliable means of payment and can take a week to clear with no way of knowing when. Money is held in limbo til whenever. Its a total shit state of affaird and has been a year or more off and on. Why arent LB using a more stable coin as means of payment? Why only btc when its the least stable?
Yep - Just been stung for fees on the price of an eighth. Not very nice. Hopefully things will calm down soon.
Β£27 transfer fee i was quoted this morning on a Β£150 order. Had to cancel, thats crazy...
Itβs a fucking joke, Apex is out till acceptable again.
Ohh you want to buy btc pay 10 quid, ohh you want to send that, another 15 quid please Apex.

These bloody network fees!!!
Can't buy some hash because the fees are still stupidly high! No way I'm paying Β£13 just to send a small amount of bitcoin. Bloody fed up waiting for it to come down. Sorry, just having an impatient rant. This can't be good for littlebiggy vendors and the people who run the site either. Sales must be right down. Pity we are stuck with only being able to use bitcoin. There must be a better alternative?
Itβs a shame Litecoin isnβt introduced as a payment method on the site. Iβve purchased from a different platform using that currency & the fees are less than Β£1. Hope you can order something soon π»
People been screaming for LTC as a bare minimum for best part of 2 years. btc just far too unstable to be the sole option, and reduced traffic here benefits no one
Or usdt would be really good, that way vendors donβt lose out on fluctuations
Yup. I lost $3,500 from one crop in 16 days when BTC tanked. Nearly made me leave LB altogether.
Just watching my money dissappear every day was one of the most depressing things I've ever experienced.
Having nobody to contact that made any sense, and having to wait it out for 16 days was like torture.
Fun times π
Cheers BB

I think its transaxe, lb is looking for a new payment processor, theres a few posts about this.
Found myself in a similar situation all be it on a smaller scale. Profits for the month wiped out over a few days. Would drive anyone to drink.
See most of my items are on the lower end so the fluctuations in price doesnβt really effect me that much
Had to make a purchase.
Fees using BTC were Β£221.
Converted coin to ETH, while it cost me Β£60 to convert, the fees for sending ETH were 71p.
This site really needs to introduce alternative currency

Yeah its shocking they haven't done anything still, I had to half my last order size and yesterday had to source some outside LB altogether.
I live in the scottish highlands so my alternatives are cowshit and turnips. This really needs sorting out. Buying here has become a lengthy and stressful shambles every time
Its such a shame. This site is the best thing to have ever happened to weed culture in the UK, entirely let down by this disfunctional and useless method of payment
Cost me over Β£40 today to send Β£200. Utter insanity. We NEED alternatives LB. BTC is going to be the death of the platform if we're not careful...
Β£30 in fees for a Β£35 order just canβt believe it!!!!
Does anybody actually know why this is happening???? Did an order a couple of weeks ago and the fees were normal

Btc volatility has been hugely positive recently - 20%-30% gains achieved over 30 day periods. Everyone wants to fill their wellies or take profits creating massive traffic on the blockchain. Miners can charge what they want to settle transactions. Itβs proving that btc is utter shit when it comes to buying stuff! ..
Ordinals (pictures stored on a token) and BRC-20 (Shitcoins on BTC) are going nuts atm too doesn't help with fees as blocks are being spammed with shite now.
Network fees are currently absurd. Hopefully, administrators will explore alternative options. GAW
We should all go on strike. Would cause mayhem at Xmas & LB would have to pull the finger out to avoid a massive loss for them.
Yep. Literally canβt afford to buy anything on here right now.
Meh. Iβll just have to crack into my shite stuff stash.
Hopefully itβll get back to normal soon or Christmas is gonna be ruined π

Just paid 6 quid to send 56 on exodus,it's shocking still but best I have seen it for a while, hope it will be down to normal before long
I'm sure that transaxe said litecoin would be an alternative payment option over a year ago, but nothing ever happened???
I just paid Β£36 in fees to get 0.03BTC from Bittylicious. Then it was nearly Β£10 in priority gas fees to send over that amount to Transaxe. It's much more expensive than usual as it's near 4% fees for the initial transaction, and that's usually 2-3% (so not massively more), but the fees to send are usually 1/10th of that.
Even though my order has expired its now 8 days and my payment is still not confirmed, so my money is stuck in the blockchain for god knows how long. This is supposed to be a community based on trust. Id say that trust has been violated by LB administrators who still have not implemented any number of stable crypto alternatives after over a year of these ongoing ludicrous fee fluctations. Where in the world would you buy any other product where you have to throw your money into the void like this? It is truly ridiculous. Vendors are losing thousands and everyone is getting shafted using BTC. I just dont get it
How are peeps checking the transfer fee/ cost?
I only know wen Iβm going to pay on coin base then I see the charges
I only know wen Iβm going to pay on coin base then I see the charges
Unfortunately looks like Coinbase is still charging way more than the fees on the mempool site. High priority is listed there as between $3 and $4 but Coinbase is still showing a Β£13 fee for a Β£20 transfer to Exodus. π I really need to ditch Coinbase...
Did it process mate.otherlyether has posted just under here that his stuff didnβt process.
Thinking I may take the hit to order something off lb but not if it isnβt working still after paying fees
Thinking I may take the hit to order something off lb but not if it isnβt working still after paying fees
I have BTC in coinbase, need to order of LB but holding back till the high network fee comes down
Honestly these network fees are an absolute pisstake atm. We definitely need an alternative payment method on LB. I personally took the hit this time but I really canβt continue to use LB going forward if the fees stay this high, which is such a great shame because i love LB and itβs been nothing short of a god send since iβve started using it and iβd be gutted to go back to my street dealer, but these fees leave me with no other choice
Can anyone here help me out at all please? Ive had my order expire after 4 days waiting after paying 25 quid fees on 120 quid order. Apparently the payment is still loading on the blockchain despite the order having expired. My wallet stll shows the funds in it but cant send them anywhere as theyve already been started on the blockchain. Have reached out to both Cryptonic and Transaxe with no response, Vendor couldnt help either but seems hes just as fuming as me with at least 40 orders been waiting to confirm for a week or more. So much money being thrown in the air here by all involved with no clear way of sorting out. This is a horrific mess for all concerned
Only way to sort it quick is to repay the fees, but more.
Go to this link, add your wallet address and find the btc transaction id, the btc transaction that's stuck.
This is the general btc transaction id, has nothing to do with lb nor transaxe.
You can pm me this transaction id and i can check if you can repay the fees if you want and i'll tell you exactly how.
Just know this if you paid high fees sending btc from your wallet to transaxe then you're gonna have to pay even more fees to push it through, up to you if it's worth it or not.

I just buy direct from coinbase and do it at night time.
Normally under a Β£ for a 100 transaction??
Normally under a Β£ for a 100 transaction??
Itβs been Β£11 network fee to send from Coinbase for a week or so. Lowest it went to was Β£4 on Sunday morning
Finally I have been verified on coin base after many days. I will wait till Sunday morning to add funds as you say it's cheaper. I think coin base give Β£5 bonus on first top up so this should compensate for the high fees
Hmm 31 quid fees on a 17 quid order π³π³
Am never paying that not as long as ive got a hole in my arse π€
Am never paying that not as long as ive got a hole in my arse π€
4 or 5 days ago it went down to about Β£5 late at night on CB so I managed to send some to my wallet.. tried more today and its Β£14, that's the highest I've ever seen it lol
You are better off adding cash and then using advance trade to buy. Itβs Β£14 network fee to send at the moment itβs a joke
Am I right in believing LB don't accept LTC? Cos many other sellers onother websites state they can take litecoin as BTC fees are high at moment
Yeah itβs BTC only here and nobody can understand why they wonβt add a cheaper faster alternative option
I only Dave debit card option to add money to coinbase, IV added Β£50 as a tester and they charged a Β£2 fee. Now when I want to send the BTC to coinbase wallet they are charging Β£14 fee. I also have a exodus wallet which tops up from whichever exchange that is giving the best rate (Β£9 fees) I'm abit confused. I'm wanting to buy a Oz which is 221dollars. Do I transfer from coinbase to exodus wallet and pay the Β£14 coinbase fee, do I pay the same fee again when sending from.exodus wallet to vendor. Or is it best to send from coinbase exchange to my coinbase wallet? What are people doing at the moment with fees being sold high
That's the transaction fee that's allways the same, we talking about the network fee here that you pay when transferring to wallet

What do you do if your transaction is left unconfirmed?
Made a transaction sent using the recommended transaction fee but the transaction is left on pending and has been for 2 days now worried the fee was too low and it's not going to be confirmed is there anything I can do?
Ended out just taking a little patience another 12 hours after posting it was done, couldn't boost the transaction with rbf, tried 2 free transaction accelerators don't know if they actually did anything but about 4 hours later it went through, thanks for taking the time to respond vendors like yourself make this site what it is
Happens sometimes it can take 24hrs to clear as long as the code is correct it'll get there
You always get lost crypto back. I sent the wrong currency by mistake once..only 130 USDT and i thought bye bye but it got returned..ages later
The send order will complete on the blockchain eventually- unfortunately you have paid a fee too low to get miners interested in this current feeding frenzy. When it gets to transaxe because the order has timed out it will be sent back to you. They may request a wallet address. Horrible delays, tonnes of frustration, but no you will not lose your moneyβ¦
Hi, I'm in the same boat, been waiting since Thursday. Transaxe do not reply and my orders aren't going through. It said 30 - 60 min transaction fee / time but never made it
My order has now expired unconfirmed. What on earth do I do now? The money is in the blockchain. Does this mean ive now lost my money? 130 quid down the pisser for what? This is truly a ridiculous state of affairs

Anyone else having long confirmation times?
Made order with decent fees at midnight and at 9am its still to clear.
Three and a half days now and still unconfirmed, and the little order i made the day after hasn't even been received by transaxe let alone been confirmed.
Both my transactions are stuck in the mempool.
Found this article, published 3 days ago, 'As of Friday, the network's memory pool (mempool), where transactions await confirmation, contains 513,652 pending transactions. This backlog has been growing since April 22, 2023, and the mempool hasn't been entirely cleared since then.'

My delays were not that long but it was slower than usual on bittylicious yesterday. Took 1-2 hours tops for confirmation
Been 14 hours now, considering cancelling the dual order, i'm sure that's what caused the mess, having multiple orders in cart.
Shouldn't make a difference mate. That's how I almost always checkout. If payments from Bittylicious are taking 1-2 hours for 1st confirmation then that's abnormal for their service. It's usually minutes.
It's occurred to me i probably won't be able to put in another order till this one clears or is cancelled can anyone confirm?
Is it a confirmation on the blockchain or with transaxe? I know you'll have probably done it already but did you check the mempool mate? if you look on https://mempool.space/ or similar with your tx number it will tell you how much longer till you get a confirmation and how much the fee needs to be to get it done sooner, hope it goes through for you :)
I don't think it should effect you making other orders
I don't think it should effect you making other orders
Hello my friend, just put another order in so thats cool. (though transaxe isn't showing it as received yet)
The original transaction was received but not confirmed yet on transaxe and it's saying In several hours (or more) on the mempool.
was a Β£140 order with around Β£3 in fees i paid. I've used a few accelerators since i got back from work earlier but to use a reputable paid service they want 20 quid.
I'll cancel order later today if still unconfirmed tho i'm hesitand cause i know it'll take a while for my funds to be repaid.

We Recommend to use high fee on BTC when maiking payment then orders will come through quicker not big delays then

This is nonesense. Why? Why should we pay higher fees? Fees have been the same price as the order for regular speed. Do you suggest paying more than double the price to get the order through? Absolute yarbles
No mate but sometimes with low fees you order gets expired before it come through as paid and then you wait for refund which takes time is that makes scence?
there is alot of wallets to be used just find right one that suits your needs

Its irrelevant who you use. Btc is the most volatile, unstable and useless commodity for these types of trades. The blockchain is completely congested with exorbitant fees and its not right to be forced into using this currency to obtain medicine. Ethereum is stable. Btc is very very had and its nothing to do with which exchange you use
I think we all understand the sentiment but there is equally not much point in blasting a vendor about itπ€·ββοΈ
Weβve been trying to effect change for literally years. At one point the Borgs actually discussed litecoin as a choice alternative and then it all went quiet again.
Eventually in terms of purchasing btc will just become unviable imoβ¦which is exactly what the powers wantβ¦

Hey, im not blasting anyone and I apologise it thats how it comes across. Just frustration! I only buy once a month to try and avoid the stress but its everytime now. Thanks for the extra info tho and its good to know alternatives were being explored. Btc is pretty much unviable for me as is

Anyone had issues with this app? When i try to buy bitcoin and hit the buy button it does nothing and it has been like this for days. I wanna top up for christmas but will be difficult with just a few quid in there.
Oh! Thats LB fucked then. That will be my last purchase here. What a shame. Didnt like Dispen serooooo so much.
I used to use coinmama but now my bank blocks it but I used https://buy.bitcoin.com/btc/ to order last night there are fees but I never had to upload ID and instead of sending it to my wallet first I just put the address of the LB order and it was done in half an hour. Hope this helps.
This though, is how many people will get ripped off. You cant just send you money to a random place that doesnt take your ID? Who am I to know who you are? With no security or accreditation that could so easily be a site youve thrown up to rip people off. No offence, but you see what im saying
This is B/S that site uses transax and charges you Β£45 plus fees for a Β£500 of bit coin you only get Β£455 odd worth of coin and have to use ID
Yes I posted this ages ago mate, they used to use moonpay which didn't require ID but did have like Β£5 fees then they changed to transak.

Daily Driver Hash
Hey all you knowledgeable Biggas!
I'm looking for a decent, commercial type hash for a go to, probably mostly daytime smoke.
I personally use both indica and sativa at any time really, so that's not important.
Just looking for a decent bargain, with a nice stone.
Thanks in advance all!

There are many more I would like to try but these are the best commercial I have tried:
1. Strawberry Banana by Dr Green Thumb
2. Lemon Haze - DiUK
3. Sunset Sherbert - Dr Green Thumb.
The hash collective and MKK have a menu of specialist hash like isolator, hiwap etc which are pricey. I have tried the Hiwap and believe me, it was lovely, but at Β£25 a gram, it better had be.
Given some of the decent commercial deals on here, I feel like the better value is to buy commercial and use more π
There is plenty of competition on here and I'm sure one of these days one of the UK vendors will step it up and we will get some bargains on some none commercial. Better be quick mind you, it is becoming more and more difficult to catch the bargains on here. Sometimes stuff is gone in less than 2 hours.

Hashcollective23 do a filtered dry kush for a commercial price, by far the best affordable hash around IMO ofcourse but hash is my thing so i order a lot of it.
Their critical stamp is also worth a look.
For a lower budget D.I.U.K do a medical hash for $25 per 3.5g.
Their coastal cream is also a top buy as is the happy120 listing.
Anything from DGT is a winner.
My next order will be the M.I.G hash from Gassed, will let you know how that one goes but the reviews speak volumes.
Happy hunting !

Its got a real hit for that price, not really a daytime one for me. Trying out Pistachs cookies and cream this week. Has a nice price point for a Henry.

Lemon Haze is getting a lot of love here, I'm definitely going to have to try that out myself.
I also heard good things about Pistach lately, but I'm still a bit nervy about ordering from Europe. Nice looking hash and bud on his page.
I'll be keen to hear how you get on with his stuff mate, thanks for commenting Gman! π

Self medicating for depression / anxiety
Hi biggaz. Has anyone that smokes for the above reasons had much success with smoking hemp / high CBD flower with no THC? I’ve been researching it a little and it some people are raving about it?
I know people who don't "smoke weed" who have had success with anxiety while using CBD flower. Haven't met any stoners that have made the swap though.
The best medicine I have found for depression is a protocol of psilocybin microdosing in conjunction with periodic macrodosing (a full dose). Cannabis alone, depending on strain, alleviates my anxiety temporarily. Also, cannabis is useful in macrodosing mushrooms taken on the ride up and on the ride down.
I have tried many meds and ketamine infusions to treat my depression, but I have only had temporary results. The mushrooms are more effective long term in treating depression than ketamine. Cannabis seems to just add to a symptom of depression called amotivational syndrome. I still use fliwer and hash, but less frequently than before. DM me if interested in sourcing shrooms in USA and/or learning about my protocol for depression treatment..Thanks lil biggas for your time...

Couldnβt agree with you more! Although we love cannabis if your deep down there it could have adverse effects where psychedelics teach you to get back up! Generally leaves you in a higher state :))
I smoked the best quality cbd weed (21%+ average) from various sites for around 6 months or so.
It's shit.
If it was x5 less expensive fine, it would be worth a smoke now and again or mixed, i seen it on here but least it's not as expensive as the uk legit sites.

I personally use a mix of both CBD & THC flowers and find it helps alot for this. I really recommend vaping them together if you can and trying different ratios; 50/50, 70/30 and so on, I almost microdose it (having a few puffs on the vape in the evening or day time depending on what I'm upto/feeling etc) It took a little bit of time and trying different ratios to feel any benefits for what works best for me - maybe a few months but it definitely works positively for me now. Good luck stealthmode, I hope you find a solution that works for you β
Been self medicating for anxiety and depression for about a decade now. Personally I've found that products without THC aren't any help in dealing with my symptoms. Definitely worth a try though, as everyone's different. Best of luck to you.
i use a site called cbdhempweed, the pineapple express on that site is awesome... i have found that certain strains make me quite anxious and that is with either CBD or THC its all down to testing strains and see how the work for you... PE on cbdhempweed is bangin tho, check it out
uWakeiBake have pure CBD edibles that would maybe help with the above reaeons + cut out the disadvantages of smoking ... give them a try
I've been using CBD flower in addition to weed for about a year now. As others have noted, it's not that strong if you're used to proper bud but I do notice some effects.
I recently tried CBD concentrates and they're much more potent. They don't get you high or stoned but there's a noticeable shift in overall body sensation and they definitely chill me out if I'm anxious or stressed.
HempElf is a good place to start if you're interested. Hope you find something that works for you.

I grind together a 2:1 ratio of high thc bud with an equal percentage cbd bud. Its miraculous. I get nicely stoned with no anxiety and can go about my day quite happily. If I need to go shopping or something and don't want to be too baked, vaping cbd flower on its own also miraculous. Great for pain relief and muscle relaxation too
I've suffered with severe treatment resistant depression for years. I've not tried smoking CBD but I did use a high potency CBD oil for several months. Made no difference to my depression at all sadly, but it does seem to work for a lot of other people.
It helps for sure did have a friend who swapped to cbd weed after having a baby. I suffer from anxiety and ptsd yes cbd works but a nice indica works better for me personally. Good luck finding what works for you βοΈ
CBD is ideal for tempering THC effects and giving you a very relaxing, mellow high. Much more like the kind of ratios that they had in the 60's
You can go the high cbd strain route, like Cannatonic, in bud or concentrate / vape form or you can look at mixed edibles with CBD and THC as well.

Vendors with NDD/Weekend Delivery
As title suggests, a reliable UK based vendor with NDD/Weekend Delivery available? And no not PISTACH. Been let down by them so won't be returning.
Free special Gauranteed NDD by 1pm but Saturday about 90% land. JJ & DGT
I live in the Highlands in Scotland and I'm as remote as it gets. With DGT if my order is in before one the postie hands it over by 11am the next day. Even with the weather and the strikes, next day every time. Four orders with this guy and my orders are not just on time with excellent stealth, but are always a little bit overweight too. Incredible service. Can't go wrong with DGT
I think during the current times, you have to take any NDD with RM with a pinch of salt. 2 days isn't bad.
It's not the fact it's a day or two wait, it's the fact it wasn't despatched nor was I notified until it was too late. I could have purchased elsewhere but they dragged out replying all day until I had no time to re order from another vendor. Should have stuck with DIUK like usual.
I buy an Oz for myself a month, I don't have enough spare income to throw away $500+ a month on re-ordering because I've been let down, so now I'm out of pocket and product until a refund is made, If that's even possible. I'm not after sympathy, I'm just explaining my personal circumstances so you can try to see why I'm a bit irritated..
NDD, (special delivery + 1pm guarantee tracked) and tracking given same day always :) Also great variety and prices and 2pm cut off time for same day dispatch !
Do Friday special delivery NDD.
And send tracking information so you can track it tooπ

Its well worth mentioning to that if I order with Canadian imports at around 11am they post it the same day and Mr Postman comes my way at 9am the next morning :) I've noticed a few other vendors with NDD don't usually post it the same day the order is made.
If youre getting NDD and it comes with tracking why shouldnt the buyer know when the parcel is inbound. We always send tracking with NDD and as it should be. Buyers would be willing to pay for that service but for ease of transaction we feel like its best to provide it for free.. after all, vendors should be making profit anyways.
So now no replies at all, no refund, seems a bit shit from a vendor I believed to be reliable in the past.
How am I supposed to try you out when PISTACH has my monthly budget that they're not refunding all tucked away in their profits?
Funds donβt get released to vendors for 16 days so itβs with escrow. I agree that bad comms is totally frustrating.π€¬
The Dispute button appears on your order page after 9 days, so dispute and get your coin returned. Doesnβt help you right now, I get that.
If I was you I would split that monthly order into bi-monthly halves and if you are going to place it regularly with the same one or two vendors request a custom order with a reasonable discountβ¦might workππ€

Thankyou for the advice Polly. If a reliable vendor would be willing to do that I'd probably use them Exclusively, I'm loyal when looked after!
Coolπ
As an example, have you looked at Canadian Imports menu? They include free NDD on all orders and are great people to chat to so Iβm sure they would be happy to discuss your needs & desires!
Good luckπ€

I've taken your advice, Spoke to Canadian Imports, who was extremely helpful and accommodating. And have now placed an order with them.
Yeah agreed Polly :) Canadian I. are really great vendors..quality weed,ndd and the neatest stealth packing Ive had on LB so far! :)....Terrific guys!
I haven't had the pleasure in dealing with them yet. I've only really used DIUK, The Green Team and PISTACH as my main go to vendors in the past.
Dr Greenthumb too man. Free NDD and never been let down. I highly recommend the cookie dough hash π
What the fucks going on here with Strainsbury's & Tescrows,are you 2 brother's/mates fell out,the biggy Aldi/Lidl brother's I think
Haha! Yes,now I'm just now waiting for "Weedrose" or "Marks & Strainsers" to appear on LB & we will have a full house! lol!
Good stuff I'll give you a try at some point Tescrows,seems to be a lot of similar hash floating about now,medical stamp, London pound cake, bitcoin stamp for example, that's another reason thought you and Strainsbury's had a family fallout,menu very similar
