Monzo bank
What online bank do you Biggies use? Monzo has just stopped me buying crypto? ๐คท
Seconded, I have and use Monzo for deposits, never had an issue direct transferring or with card. I only need to approve it in app, thatโs all. If youโre using Coinbase, I just click on bitcoin and click buy and use whatever account and it goes through instead of depositing into my main account then buying bitcoin.
Assuming your using cb, go to profile / settings > manage payment methods and you should be able to add your bank Acc there
Hey buddy. Browse your coinbase app and somewhere you will find a sort code and account number. In the same place there will also be a unique reference number starting with CB.
Add the details as your would add any other bank account to your online banking.
Make a transfer as you would to a normal bank account.
Deposit will appear in your coinbase within a fee minutes.
Good tip - buy usdc and convert it to btc.
This way you get no fees to buy - only network fee when you move the btc out.

INITIATIVE : ALTERNATIVE CRYPTO
โNeutralโ description of the initiative = an alternative cryptocurrency given the volatility of bitcoin. Alternative crypto currencyโs to be debated and put to a vote.

Although I wouldn't hold your breath, it's been requested several times. Here's a post from over 18 months ago that suggests the admin had already agreed it would be integrated.

I know init, itโs a shame really I originally thought it was a community based site but itโs just not the case given the fact vendors and customers are all shouting from the roof tops we need an alternative but the approach seems to be grim and bare bitcoins volatility
yeah been watching this a everyone has been asking for a new payment processor. this seems the farthest its got they are looking for devs
For.
Although I've seen this all before. An old vendor Super Hans tried extremely hard to get Litecoin/Monero etc introduced a couple of years ago. Had the backing of all the vendors and biggas alike and it never happened.
It does seem like jackwright might be making some headway, but many of us that have been on here a while won't be holding our breath.
Good luck though buddy. It's probably the single most important improvement to the site, and is long overdue, so I really do hope this time it works out.

Yeah Iโve got that the overall response is For but itโs literally not even worth it given as someone already pointed out initiative Borg ainโt been active in a while.
Yeah I think our only hope is someone picking up the project, Iโve had a quick look at what it entails and although am literally studying that issue at the minute I think itโs probably best someone with experience take on something like that.
Hopefully though someone sees the opportunity and takes it!

Chances are theyโll probably need to rewrite Transaxe. If itโs hardcoded to support Bitcoin itโs not going to be a small job to change the payment method.

Literally all they can do since their, most-likely at this point, ex-devs have clearly abandoned them to 3 year old processes. Which nobody quite knows how to work on or fix.
One day Biggy will just fail. Mostly because of itโs clearly hideous technical debt.

Totally get that, I was gutted when I had to ask my old dealer when I seen the price of the bitcoin fees but I canโt justify paying upwards of โฌ15 just for a fee.
Itโs not as if itโs happened before the only difference now is people are going to find alternative sites which sucks as LB has been awesome.

Yes think alot of us are in the same situation. Looks like I'll be digging some old number up to ring then till this is sorted. Feel for the vendors on this site.
I for one love this site but itโs becoming harder and harder to utilise the brilliant products on here and community due to bitcoins instability and proven track history of being unreliable on this site.
It is also getting to the stage where itโs becoming too expensive for vendors and profits are being eaten up by transactions fees alone.
Instead of little biggy being that website everyone remembers as being โimagine how good that could have beenโ and continue to expand the community by allowing better accessibility for payments.

FOR, how long do we have to put up with paying ridiculous fees while there's alternatives. Obviously couldn't care less. How many times has this been talked about
The fees for customers obtaining a joke from the administration need to be addressed. Might need to another alternative cryptocurrency.
Initiative borg last online 417 days ago.....
no reply or anything from any borgs or admin on any single one of the dozens of topics on this subject this past couple weeks, yet posts exposing dogshit fraudulent dangerous vendors like gamechanger will get immediately removed from the wall
used to be so passionate about the idea of community and gradual improvements to the site via an alleged democratic process of initiatives but that's long gone for me now
we are all pissing into the wind but it's really fucking windy out and the piss is just going directly back into our faces, you can't stop pissing though because you've been holding it in for an age

That was when their last decent dev left them. 400 odd days ago. Nothing has been done since then really.
They need to open source the whole platform. All sensitive data aside.
But that alone is probably 6 months work. To go through everything. Upgrade all the dependencies. Fix all the broken ones. Clear the technical debt.
About a year on from starting that. We are looking at then maybe considering how to approach adding a new payment system into Transaxe. Which has obviously been only set up. From literally the ground up. To support Bitcoin.
Itโs like working with the old MySpace. Itโs just oldschool code on oldschool code.
Not many of us left who even understand those processes. Those approaches.
But this is where it is.
If they open-sourced the fucking code itโd be fixed in 2 weeks.
Plus all the other shit that pisses people off.
But no. Itโs someones little earner. Doesnโt take a huge team to run a site like this.
Runs itself. And thatโs the clever thing about the site.
Just needs modernizing. Christ. If it was worth building in the first place and itโs still nearly working. Then why not spend some of the considerable cash in improving the quality of life for your users?
I mean itโs SAAS 101. You keep users by reducing barriers to entry. The less barriers the customer has to get their outcome. Exponentially will your sales increase as convenience and novelty combine into one beautiful package. Where you can just buy some fucking nice weed without needing a PHD in nerd-dialectics to do it.
Removal of new-user barrier to entry = growth.
I wish I could do graphs. It would seem obvious.
Literally losing thousands a month, Biggy are. Potentially. 5X what everyone on here earns with a modern platform in place.
Youโd double your money in 6 months with a couple of half-decent devs working on it.
Fuck. You could just have it as a full-on API. Then anyone could build a frontend for it. Just have the keys and you are away. Biggy as a service.
But without the source of the service itself. There is no easy way to add payment methods.
Not without middleware for the middleware. Which is where it then starts getting silly, and hacky, and people start losing money, or itโs all backdoored to fuck.
Itโs a Transaxe core change. The only people who should be responsible for that stuff is the core Biggy team. They need to change it.

I really hope they switch up and offer using monero and eth bitcoins got its usesn but. It's a terrible coin for the job.
It baffles me that there's an escrow service presumably raking it in but something as simple as a password change on transaxe takes a week. I feel like it's one person working part time so that being said there is no chance of more currencies being added.
Its a shame because I can only see bitcoin getting worse for fees and like others have said leaves LB exposed to competition.
Transaxe have been good at times, such as taking the hit in the high fees back in May (not sure if they have during this November spike).
I just hope we get to use monero and eth soon.

I have a post up looking for a dev in this matter. It's been up months with no replies. I spoke to admin, I have the requirements they say is needed before testing. The Admin are more than happy for alternatives if they can be proven. Anyone know how to write smart contracts in solidity with immutable logic?
I would try using wrapped trx stablecoin. It's shielded, so private, and most of all stable.

I'm the same. I've even had a look at what's involved and it's way above my pay grade. If I can get a good dev, I can probably get the mods and run it. There's obviously a monetary incentive through the fees.
Whatever is used has to integrate with LB too. That could be another road block, even if you had the system.

Impossible to fork this and work on it. Thatโs the issue.

Trivial to use the existing platform to add new payment methods. If we had the source to work from.
Been a software dev for the last 20+ years. Couldnโt see the repo for the Transaxe service. So impossible to make core changes.

Could LB not integrate lightning network into its payment system? I'm sure last time I sent via lightning it was like 30p or less for the transaction and didn't involve anything complicated

Crazy netwrok fee as vendor was charged $10 on $149 whats happening on blockchain? GAW
FOR i think the only way they will add new payments is if the Vendors went on strike, especially the big vendors on here, if that does not work nothing will, but i think thats what should be done for the greater good, if it means after all parties either save or make more money in the long run it surely is worth the sacrifice.
I dont know how LB hasn't got multiple crypto options by now? I'll order on here when BTC fees are low but when they are high i have to go eleswere.

Currently my $$$ is going to be going elsewhere until fees make lb viable for me again. I'm a wee bit sad about that as I've been liking the site. I expect both customers & vendors will give up in the interim & find / use other markets or locals. It's a shame as it's a great community here and would seem relatively straightforward for a dev to add an alternative payment option which would help solidify the future of lb and mean it'd not shed its users on a crypto hiccup.

I think you have failed to see what it is people want here, Iโve read down your comments, itโs not about the removal of BTC at all itโs about alternative.
Which turns out has been in the pipeline for a while just not picked up, Iโve seen blockhead is looking at running USDT alongside as an alternative.
I would prefer to pay in bit coin but at times like this I would also like to save what money I have and use a cheaper coin to allow for a more accessibility when it comes to payment and not just one.
For example, I normally buy your hashes which are banging and at a great price, so when I would finish ordering what i would normally order I would treat myself to one of your hashes. I havenโt been able to do that as the fee is replacing the price of the hash, neither of us gain anything apart from bitcoin.

Aye I donโt know as much about BTC as you, but thereโs a way to have discourse without coming across as a condescending prick. Youโre no better than anyone here, just because youโre a reputable seller it doesnโt mean you can talk down to anyone.

Btc sorted us out for years and now cause the coin is pumping and fees are high everyone wants to jump ship ๐คฆโโ๏ธ

it's not about jumping ship at all it's about having other options so we can continue to use this market when BTC fees render this market useless which has been over a week now, i can list off about 10 vendors that want other options like LTC or monero, if we were using LTC i would have about ยฃ500 a year extra to spend on here that isn't lost in BTC fees!
and a simple solution to your problem would just be to put in your manifesto that you only accept BTC no other coins, all orders in other currencies will be cancelled
we can't expect BTC to get more stable in the future, i can only see more frequent pumping and pisstake fees at this point amongst a few weeks of "Stability" here and there where the fees are still an absolute pisstake tbh
you probably noticed my lack of orders as well, i'm back to street dealers now lol

The thing is you can receive your funds in an alternative coin with low fees and faster transactions for the buyer, then swap it into BTC if you wanted BTC.
Hypothetical. You get ยฃ150 worth of ETH for the order and the buyer has only paid ยฃ152 total to pay and transfer funds for the order. Once funds are released to you , you can swap the ยฃ150 worth of ETH into BTC if you don't want it in ETH
If they paid using BTC that ยฃ150 order would cost them ยฃ180 , but you will still only get the ยฃ150 worth of BTC in the end. It costs the buyer an extra ยฃ30 just for using BTC. Not only is this not sustainable for the buyer but it's also not good for your business as it puts people off buying when fees are this high.

Why is it not reliable?
You can swap your ETH into BTC if you didn't want the alternative coin the second you received it, I don't really see the issue if you can simply swap it?

So I have to already wait 16 days for escrow to release the Money then I have to do another transaction to change it to BTC?..
youโll have to do your own research why itโs not reliable when the creator can literally turn back time and reverse transaction or freeze funds etc..

Almost all crypto apps have swapping features built in, it takes seconds to swap thousands of dollars , you literally input the amount and click swap. It would take less time than the message you just typed out, yet saves your customers huge amounts on fees.
The few seconds it takes you to do the swap would be far outweighed by the increase In orders you would receive , and money you would make, if an alternative coin was accepted on here.

Increased orders for how long?
What happens when Police start to pressure the creator of ETH to freeze funds or reverse funds or wallets etc?
Bitcoin has been sufficient from day 1 and still is.. yes itโs temporary high fees but thatโs only Temporary.
I think everyone is getting too comfortable buying drugs of the internet.

An increase in orders for ever hopefully, fees are higher than other coins even when they are normal.
It's not like it's a one off, this happens every few months with bitcoin and roughly once per year to the current extent. When fees are normal they are still higher on BTC compared to others. If bitcoin continues to increase like people speculate it will, then worse is yet to come for fees.
You can simply swap your coin to BTC, but having alternatives with lower fees cant be a bad thing. Maybe even an option for the seller to choose what coins they accept. No one is saying get rid of btc, but having alternatives can't be a bad thing.

BCH would be a real choice for this website however to replace or sit next to BTC for payments. BCH fees are tiny in comparison!
BTC has a potential successor, it's called Ergo (ERG).
Not saying it would be right coin for this website at the current time, but just putting it out there for awareness in case anyone didn't know about it already.

I don't know enough about it to comment, I did ask for more info but you mentioned I would have to do my own research.
If vendors can choose what coin they accept, they accept the risks that come with the coin they choose. You can stick to BTC and others can choose what every they are comfortable with accepting.

It's not just about the fees I would much prefer to use a privacy focused coin like monero. There are chain analysis companies tracking every bitcoin payment
Thanks. โYouโ well thatโs not true, check my short post history. And as I stated I have had other issues with bitcoin that have nothing to do with fees.
Nobody said jump ship, if you read the OP - we want an alternative option, which I donโt think isnโt reasonable for a variety of reasons? If weโre talking of dumping BTC completely then yes, then this should be a different discussion but thatโs not what weโre talking about at least to my eyes.

Itโs not bitcoin fault that your sending btc directly to the site or for whatever reason your bnk wants to close your account..
I have trust in the admins.. they sorted us out when shit hits the fan and they have a reason to sticking to btc..
I hope they can see past the riffraff and continue stick to only BTC..
because for many reasons one being BTC creator is Satoshi.
Someone mention FTT.. I donโt know if they taking the piss but thatโs a known Scam coin.
Another person said USDT.. the creators of USDT are the biggest crooks.. check out coffeezilla on YouTube and see what he thinks.. his probably the biggest crypto scam buster..
All coins have flaws the most reliable is BTC.
For all your questions just Watch the videos from Bitcoin University

Favourite vendor right now
October came last year and TSM arrived and shook up the game. Donโt let their recently joined date fool you, these guys are it.
Hands down my favourite vendor for top shelf flower and mushrooms on this website.
Fair prices, fast delivery, fantastic stealth, great professionalism (good comms, nicely presented menu, respectful, proper grammar), and overall excellent service.
If youโre on the fence, just browse through their menu and get something that catches your eye. You wonโt regret it.

Hi, folks. Can you confirm if you use PGR? Am trying to keep things as clean as possible, and would like to try some of the newer vendors on here.
I can only speak for the blue cheese but can confirm there was no chance in hell it was PG.
Very high quality for the price I think you would struggle to beat it on here in terms of bang for buck.

TSM are the only vendor I'd say that really do NDD as long as the payments been made before 3 you'll see that package next day.
Price points are great, 3.5g for $32:+ fees is amazing.

AVOID THIS VENDOR
Heads up - theyโve removed their stock now but were still taking orders and not sending them - some problem behind the scenes or complete negligence on their part who knows. Zero comms as seen by other people who have ordered. my item wasnโt sent, no communication whatsoever and was auto refunded as the item was never sent. Glad I donโt need to dispute but I highly recommend not using this vendor. Iโve probably used 15-20 vendors on LB, this is by far my worst experience and Iโm not the only one it seems.
I had the same issue! Had 5 really good orders that actually arrived next day and smoked really well then this time I ordered it was never sent and I got and no response from the seller.
Is this recent? Can you post a date please, I've not received my order and had no replies. 25/02/24
Yes itโs recent, if you havenโt received comms or your item, I suggest disputing or if itโs not been long enough hopefully the Borg will refund you if itโs still marked as paid but not sent.

Looking for the best shake I am willing to pay more for a higher ratio of popcorn buds to trim
Riley Packs
Just Weed
Strainsburys
All have the best quality out of the retailers Iโve tried.
SKUDA has some great bud/shake bars that are fantastic quality for the price which I have at the minute.
British Bulldog has the best shake by far, but I believe BB doesnโt have any left from his last grow - but if you get the chance, snatch it up in future.

Yeah I got my delivery from Riley yesterday (brilliant 1 day service btw) and it does smell really good, and smokes well and tastes nice. It's clearly from lovely weed. But it is mostly leaf, as Kernnow420 was saying, with just a bit of popcorn (the little nugs that are there are great tho). Riley said it's a bit of potluck how many nugs you get in each bag, which is def true. But, based on what others have said here and in reviews, this seems to be a pretty leafy batch in general. For me, it's not worth the price. Makes me want to try the actual Divine Jelly bud though haha, it's clearly ๐ฅ. I think Riley still has some in stock. Oh and the high from Riley's trim is nice, just not very long-lasting, and you have to smoke quite a lot.
I have to add though - now that I'm smoking Riley's stuff for a second night - I was tired last night and underestimated the stone from the shake :). Smoked a (fairly large) joint that was all leaf (to test the strength again) and it hit really nicely. And my tolerance is pretty high. Plus it tastes lovely, isn't too dry. So now I'm in two minds :D. And will def use part of it for edibles too, I'm sure it'll be great. Anyway, just wanted to give my fully rounded opinion - I usually like to smoke for a few days before I give an assessment, just felt a bit hard done by with the nug to leaf ratio haha.
Bro, honestly the smell on the premium shake from Riley packs is straight ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Nice! Just ordered some of Riley's stuff last night after seeing your comment. Love me some great shake. How is the smoke and high? Can't find much info about the Divine Jelly strain.
Btw a very honourable mention for shake must go to Green Cat's Skywalker OG trim - 2 Oz for ยฃ90-95. It's not premium in the sense of being filled with smaller nugs, but has loads of tiny ones (nuglets;) in there - it's def shake rather than trim. And the strength overall is easily an 8/10 for me. So it's some of the best value weed I've ever bought. Lovely indica stone and nice flavour. Not too dry and still zesty when ground/cut up. I've linked it above.

Riley packs has premium shake in atm, waiting on some to arrive then I'll update on quality bro
Really nice! Very tempted to get some, especially given the price, that's a steal - was this the Zushi one or the Mac trim? I've heard great things about both current batches from Pistach.
MAC listing but believe itโs Jaffa Glue. Iโve had the sushi shake and it wasnโt as good as this although still good value for the price as always with Pistach.
Keep it green he has ran out of shake so it's all popcorn nugs leafy nugs and the bud is some of the best I've had on here tastes lovely
Radar breeder shake and your natural medicine shake is spot on. The cheaper shakes goin around are too inconsistent to risk spending on

Any metalheads on here?
Hey guys hope youโre all having a cool weekend. Just wondering are there Any metalheads on LB? I love most metal but my fave genres are probably blackgaze and post black metal. I really like Alcest and Panopticon Iโd say theyโre the bands Iโm listening to the most right now. I remember people telling me when I was a teenager Iโd grow out of metal,well Iโm in my 40s now and still listening just as much if not more. It really is a way of life. Love and peace.
The 90s had such amazing metal bands. So many genres were exploding and were so exciting. Wasnโt so keen on that rap metal mind. I loved RATM but the ones that followed like Limp Bizkit were pretty dumb.
Sorry dude didnโt mean to offend anyone. Just didnโt personally like Limp Bizkit. Sorry.
Oh sorry man I thought you meant I was preaching to you. Yeah I loved the first Korn album hated the 2nd but loved the 3rd album. Stopped following them after that but still like the odd track after the 3rd album. Alone I break is an awesome track.
I remember seeing Pantera at the Ozzfest back in 98. Amazing set and a wild pit not as crazy as the Soulfly pit a set later that was insane. Love early Deftones up to the White Pony album.
yes but thrash, osdm, 1st wave black metal and the list goes on. So quite a different list but yeah I'm a metalhead
Celtic Frost are probably my fave out of the 1st wave black metal bands. Did you not get on with the 2nd wave of black metal? There are some great bands.
No I do just lower down on my list. Celtic frost absolutely genius band although there was a time they were called death metal
Early Dimmu Borgir for me mate. First 2 albums are great(even the ripped off track on the 2nd album) went off them when they expanded their sound.
sorgens is one of my fave tracks pity m8 i love most of their stuff although my fave albums are Puritanical and In sorte. stormblast will always hold a special place in my heart..
Of course Screamo counts man! Love myself a bit of Mice&Men and Bring Me The Horizon. Not sure if theyโre Screamo bands?
I'm mid-forties now and grew up on bands like Metallica, Pantera, Machine Head and NIN. I've always been into other stuff as well but it's what I mostly listened to during my teens and twenties.
I don't listen to metal as much as I used to however I've found the old adage that your tastes mellow with age to be untrue in my case. I listen to some much heavier, more extreme bands than I used to and I'm much more open to sub genres I wouldn't have considered before.
My current favourite heavy listen is Lullabies for Eternal Sleep by Apes. Hadn't heard of them until I read a brief review that described that EP as being sort of like post-metal if all the quiet bits were replaced with nasty grindcore. One listen and I'd bought the tracks off Bandcamp. The first track, Cornwall, is savage but has such an amazing groove too.
If you like blackened stuff then check out Apes' earlier album, Lightless. Different to the latest material but still bloody good.

I pretty much listen to every metal track thrown at me with passion :D.
I love albums in every genre.
Some of my favorites bands are Decapitated, Dimmu Borgir, TBDM, born of osiris, meshuggah, lamb of god, well theres too much really ^^..
Metal is definitely a way of life.
Recently i've been listening to the Nomad album by Kublai Khan (insane tone/sound) and a gradual decline in moral by Kim Dracula, pretty strange shit but i love it haha.

4."Weed the Lightning" - Megadeth (Thrashing through the green haze with high-intensity riffs)
5"Paranoid and Paranoider" - Black Flag (A punk-infused, paranoia-inducing masterpiece for the metalheads who like to keep it raw)
I go a lot of gigs and download/bloodstock festival. Some of the best music to have a smoke to.
Yeah probably the most community, friendly festival Iโve been to. Really chilled and thereโs not too many people like major festivals.
lots of metal plays at the local gym, Sepultura, Nailbomb, SOAD, Pantera, Mastodon, Deftones, DOWN, Black Label Society, TOOL and some others I cant remember the name of
Seeing Municipal Waste again in October, really looking forward to that one
Recomendations wise, I've been really digging some of the "new wave trad" by the likes of Eternal Champion and Visigoth, super cheesy power metal about goblins and dragons, epic stuff...

Thanks for the recommendations man Iโll check them out. Iโm seeing Alcest in October and canโt wait for that.
Must be more then a few metalheads here on LB for sure.
Right now I'm waiting for the re-recording by the Calavera brother's of the Morbid Visions record. Absolutely can't bloody wait for that! Artwork is on point and the sound, my goodness.
But otherwise, been on a death metal vibe recently - the new 200 Stab Wounds EP and the new Kruelty record basically.

Yeah I was thinking the same,thatโs why I made the post just to see what bands everyone was into.
Oh if they get that right it should be awesome. Early Sepultura rocks. Love the Arise album lost interest around Roots. That album wasnโt for me. I really like Derrick on vocals even though a lot of Max fan boys gave him a hard time when he joined.

Tonight I've been listening to Cult of Luna and Boris. Last night it was Lamp of Murmuur and Fluisteraars. I'm in my 50s. Metal seems to make more sense the older I get but then the type of metal I listen to now is different from the metal I listened to at 16. Except for Sabbath. Always Sabbath ๐คMusic just keeps on getting better.
Absolutely love Cult Of Luna their Salvation album was incredible! Canโt remember if it was their debut? Give Panoption a listen man especially there again into the light album it is pure genius. Austin Lunn plays over a dozen instruments on the album. Canโt wait to see them next month on their first ever UK tour. Always Iron Maiden for me mate though I do obviously love Sabbath.
Oh yeah I love Panopticon too. I was listening to And Again... last night. Also Botanist and Wolves In The Throne Room, sheer sheets of metallic sound, hypnotic riffs it's damn psychedelic as a genre in many ways. Also into stuff like Thou and Primitive Man, I was listening to the last Wormrot album the other day. There's just so much good stuff and such massive variety that it's impossible to not like something that's "metal" if you're into music. If anyone avoids metal they should take a deep dive into all the sub genres cos they'd be surprised at how much they would probably love. From Sunn O))) to Full of Hell and all the stops in between.
Theyโre ..again into the light album is so good. I found it very accessible compared to their earlier stuff. Still really enjoy their early folk metal inspired stuff. Kentucky is fantastic. I was lucky enough to see Wolves In The Throne Room a few years back. Beautiful gig. It was bombastic and majestic all at once. ๐ค
I saw Panopticon a few years back over in Dutchie land, enjoyed them but haven't paid much attention to them since.Do you like Wayfarer? They do a similar type of thing kinda country tinged BM.
Really like Wayfarer too and a Scottish band called Saor. They play a similar style to Panopticon. Canโt wait to see them live,Iโve waited years for them to visit the UK. Gotta travel a few hundred miles but it will deffo be worth it. Much love.
Mate it looks epic!! Panopticon are headlining day one and are playing their entire Roads To The North album!! The entire weekend looks genuinely great too.
Dad got me into metal with sabbath i have to agree nearly 40 now .... So many metal genres would not exist without them ..
Yeah Sabbath are definitely the godfathers of metal. Without them half the genres today wouldnโt exist.
and if you into black metal check out Blackbraid they just relesed their second album its Native american black metal if you like melodic stuff check em out i feel they are only going to get better...
Thanks for the recommendation man. Iโll check them out later on they sound very intriguing.

Agree with the mac1 trim. Bang for buck that all day long. Had one of two orders lol ๐
Game changer has some decent shake at the minute. Real shake. Crush bud. Not trim called shake with some popcorn.
The cali is a bit pricy now but I got that on promo price.
The uk is also decent.
Some bad reviews but compared to the most Iโve tried they are miles out or I was lucky.
Iโve not tried everyoneโs of course but the best Iโve had in ages without being strain specific.
Green cat is usually a good bet also.
As others have said. You canโt go wrong with Riley packs or The Gentlemen dealers.
Have a look at sensi mart. The have low Spanish at shake price and well under played by him.

Iโll second the Gamechanger recommendation, their Cali shake was a treat to smoke. Need to try BBโs at some point, just donโt buy shake that often.
I'm still behind the grass roots shake campaign... Fortunately I have enough Cali Shake left to last until at least November ๐
I would have said strainsburys cookie dawg shake but there has been some issues of late. Hair etc in the product and comms are seemingly non existent :( I've seen cali shake for bud money on here can't remember who though. Fuck that. Justweed has some stardawg shake sounds to be good :)
Riley packs has some decent shake. British Bulldog has good budget mac1 trim that good value for money if you message him. Pistach is usually decent not bought in a long time as never changes strain and Real Ds szkittles shake canโt be beaten on Value when itโs back ๐ I tried the Cali shake at a lower price very nice and strong but going at $65 an 8th now guessing youโd of gone for some nice top shelf bud if wanted to pay those prices ๐
Pretty much this. Havenโt tried real d but a lot of hype there, but the other 3 I can personally vouch for. Especially Riley and BB. Two of the best shake, Iโve had from them.
We spoke about this before. Especially with the super cheep stuff. Sometimes something is too good to be true
It's a lovely chilled out body high but good head buzz a proper 50/50 I'd say thanks again buddy might be best deal I've had all year! ๐ ๐ป
Ive also had 2 batches of bad shake from just weed in the past so havent used them since . He reshipped the 2 oz and that was also worse . If getting from strainsburys again id stear clear for a while as they have gone to shit lately . Popeyez got lovely shake and bud tbh try giving him a shot .
Yeah ive just got an oz of that purple punch from THE GREEN TEAM . Very nice smoke . Unreal how soft and oily it is .

First bad LB experience - how would you deal with this?
So lately been ordered some Gelato from a well-known vendor n was pretty decent stuff not the best in the world but really good quality shit for the price as everyone who uses this vendor would agree would probably agree right?
So I order more gelato it turns up and for some reason it's really leafy and scraggy and stinks of cheese instantly I can tell this is not good weed at all and definitely not gelato. Now, everyone knows the smell of cheese is unmistakable! nothing like gelato either. I message the vendor he claims it's a new batch. I'm a bit sceptical because again gelato and cheese should not smell anything alike but at this point, I have to take his word. I leave a review reflective of the experience and product 3/10 as the bud is really really poor and 2 of the 3/10 is due to him sending it on a next-day service when I only paid for first class.
So I decided to order something else I go for another strain Fritter Mints same first-class delivery option. Next day parcel arrives and it's on a next-day service again (weirdly generous). Open it and the same unmistakable smell of cheese fills the room. It's the exact same weed as when I ordered gelato (still have the old order to compare to so Iโm 99.9% sure of this ).
So I message the vender asking what is going on and why am i being send the same bud no matter what I order.
He claims it must have been a mix-up and says heโll send me out some vanilla gelato (weirdly not listed on the vendor's page) few days pass and nothing! so Iโve dropped him a message, he reads it and does not reply. I follow up with another message a few days later and still nothing.
I donโt really wanna mess up either of our reputations but this seems against the spirit and community of LB. Honestly, the weed that was sent to me is probably the worst weed Iโve smoked in years (or tried to smoke, the taste is so bad I threw a pretty big j away ), I was actually surprised this quality of bud was still being grown.
What would u guys do at this point? Would this warrant a dispute?

Update : All has been solved, had a delivery this morning and a replacement has been sent. not too sure what it was as had to rush out but can tell its the quality I'm used to from this vendor.
Guess this is taught me to trust the system and have patience with vendors. Definitely a lesson learnt! Thanks Lb community for the advice too

Good to hear. Iโve used the vendor probably 10+ times this year and never had an issue. They deal with a lot of orders, sometimes shit doesnโt go to plan but in this case Iโm glad youโve resolved it. Bang for your buck/NDD theyโre the best (or one of the best vendors on the site.
Name the vendor (respect)
Stop buying from them (trust)
Leave a fair review of the products you received (honesty)
Don't let vendors on here tell you to keep things quiet or accept shitty terms out of "respect and decency". Vendors have to show respect and decency first, then it's returned by customers. Not the other way round. The customer is always right eh

It's a quality and trust issue, 1) not a complete loss 2) Sometimes you get what you get 3) stop ordering more from the same vendor 4) make it clear why you're unhappy in your review, as you've already done 5) Move on. 6) The vendor is obviously trying to provide a good service but sometimes it isn't going according to plan... you now need a new vendor and if others feel the same way the message will eventually get through. I don't think service will ever reach high street standards mate with all the best will in the world... I'd give him more than 2 for the postal upgrade and genuinely feel your frustration with quality and getting what you actually order x not nice. Good luck mate!
^^ well said sir, there is usually a level headed solution to be found between buyer and vendor. I doubt anyone here is intentionally trying to rip anyone else off
We are all trying to make our way and maintain good service and standards. Its a retail marketplace, but it takes a lot to bring these products to the table.
Equally, sometimes it goes a bit wonky and shit happens, especially in the "underworld" which, as much as we all forget, is where this all takes place.
Hopefully you can find a solution between one-another rather than resorting to "borgs".
Good luck

P.S
From a vendor, its worth updating the reviews once its all sorted. It sucks when you make good on a situation, yet the review stays unchanged.

At this price point personally Iโd be leaving review and moving on not using the vendor again. Itโs not worth having a dispute on my account especially being so new here with about 10 buys.
Iโve had good comms from this vendor personally. Tried the biscotti, headband, blue zushi and 2x 500mg choc bars. Headband kinda sucked but very cheap and zushi had some string/fibres in it (from a scrog maybe?) but easy to fix so no big issues.
Good luck

Yrah I think your right tbh mate. Yh I had nothing but good things to say about this vedot previously thge pink rose he has is something special and a few others, I do agree with the headband comment but I'd have taken that over what I got send any day. Guess it's all a learning process right
I've been very pleased with all my orders from this vendor personally, but if this happened to me and my messages were ignored I would probably call them out by name in topics, and I would definitely attempt a dispute. Everyone can make mistakes, especially busy vendors, but that can be fixed. The first step is communication.
I did consider naming the vendor but went against it but pretty sure it's obvious who. Doubt I'm gnna go down the dispute route if I'm honest I'm just gnna stay clear of this vendor. You never know he may actually through with a replacement.
Sounds like youโve been sent the fritter mints twice I think that strain can smell abit cheesey. I like the vendor but itโs very common for them to send the wrong strain unfortunately not that this helps you out much unfortunately you donโt have many buys Iโd leave it personally โ๏ธ

Payment issues
Created a cart but when trying to make payment an internal error message comes up and wonโt take me to the payment page. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
it works. Use onion browser and society. It then gives you the options to pay etc. Thanks guys.
Go to chat then create new and in the โtoโ bar type in โtransaxeโ and youโll see โtransaxe supportโ and drop them a message or โcleanup Borgโ. Either should be able to help. I already dropped transaxe support a message to notify them of this error and Iโll update you once I hear back :)
i managed to make a payment via onion browser now but keen to say what they say. thanks a lot for help guys
could this be because we are using littlebiggy.com rther than .org It seems like when i ask for payment help, click the link, it tried to take me to .org site and of course that is down!!!
My orders went through ok this morning using .com.. one sent, one sat on paid. Iโm using the onion browser if that helps
Which onion browser are you using? I paid for an order on here late last night and it went through fine but itโs still sat on paid and itโs very unusual for this seller so now Iโm getting worriedโฆ
Tor browser, i paid mine 10 minutes ago, let's see if mine will change to paid....nervous here lol
My payment went through last night and I received a standard message from the seller confirming that, but my guess is they havenโt been able to get access to the site because Iโve heated nothing today and theyโre usually great. Do you know whatโs happened to the main site/how long it will be down for?
