THC vape/distillate info needed please

So I’m planning a trip but I don’t want the stress of carrying flower/solid across borders. So never tried the stuff but I’m interested in taking something to vape but i know jack shit about it - what i should be looking for, how much to get, how to take it (just add to my sub-ohm tank & mix with my normal juice?) Can’t seem to find any helpful threads in LB or web generally. I can see loads of options for products but I don’t really know what I’m looking at. Grateful for any pointers….

For what you need mate it's probably the only time I would recommend disposables.
Canadian Imports are $25 each for 0.5ml. They are stealthy and you can bin them when you are done.

coffeeking

You need to buy a 510 battery. Dr.Terpy does some really consistent and quality carts buy some of them and just put together and vape. I'd just put them in with my washbag if travelling. I've got a Yocan Ziva battery for extra stealth.

BTC network fees - how can i reduce them?

by GnuBoarder

BTC network fees - how can i reduce them?

So the network fee on Coinbase for making a £50/£60 purchase recently was £13 on top - seems a little steep to me. Any advice on how to bring these costs down?

MightyRux

You can't. Fees are dependent on network congestion and/or what people are prepared to pay. Sending last night cost me £12 for high priority, so you're being quoted a fairly 'normal' current fee, but this can fluctuate multiple times an hour. Hopefully it'll sort itself out soon as we're all paying way over the odds currently.

£15 btc fees are insane, ontop of all of coinbases other fees. Will be the reason I stop using biggy till fees come down

JimmyMac

I bought this morning the total fee was £2.98 for the Bitcoin network fee try later on that was around 1:30am check every 5 mins u til it changes.

ReefLostCause

Which exchange mate, I've been seeing £13 for the last 4 days on coinbase

PeterNoTail

If you send from a wallet it usually allows you to choose the transaction fee you want to pay, but if the network is congested the fees go up so if your fee is to low it may take ages to go through or not go through at all. if you coin is on an exchange then that won't really help, you just have to wait or swallow the fee

oldspice

Unfortunately thats the case for everyone due to the network congestion. It should get lower in a few days/weeks

KrazyKat

I made an order for about $160 and got it for £8.50 fee about 11ish, about an hour later made a $30 order and i was gonna charge £13 fee so cancelled that one
Maybe if you try and send late night or early morning the fees could be a bit more reasonable
These rotten fees make small orders hard to justify to yourself(

wynwill

yeah. says if you send to an email or phone number it’s free. but no chance of that! so having to revert back to local delivery. 😀

Is anyone else experiencing LB site weirdness?

Is anyone else experiencing LB site weirdness?

Tried to log in yesterday & got directed to a Society page which I eventually realised was a mirror. Couldn’t gather whether this was due to maintenance or LB compromised. Either way, pages would crash & ‘Items’ page was empty on both sites. Still is. (Which is frustrating as I don’t want to search thru every vendor via ‘People’, I just want to view items & see what pricks my interest.) Although I think I’ve managed to make a purchase (vendor seems to have replied to msg) Is this right? Is Items empty for everyone else or is my browser super slow or something? Can anyone offer any clarity? Is it just maintenance gremlins or what?🤔

SkyIsGreen

The outtage was due to some salty loser who thought he could scare everyone with very obviously fake info and DDoS attacks.

Probably some script kiddy messing with things he doesn't fully understand.

All he did was put a target on his back, it's very hard to do a DDoS attack and not get caught these days.

Like others have said though, Tor browser + Society is great if you can't get to LB normally.

Warriorrob

Was the info he kept posting wrong ? I hope so I felt sorry for those he’s been harassing it’s been daily

SkyIsGreen

Almost certainly.

I doubt anyone here is smart enough to get around the built in encryption and other systems in place to keep you safe on LB. (most, if not all, identifying data is deleted within 30 days, OR it's encrypted.)

And why would someone want to do that in the first place?

Unfortunately, because of the nature of this site and others like them, they always attract these edgy kids who think they're some sort of elite hacker. Couldn't be further from the truth though.

dreday

How do they catch them?

SkyIsGreen

I don't know for sure, but it looks like they're banning him manually right now.

It'd be impossible to keep him out forever, but he's pretty stupid so it isn't hard to find him once he reveals himself.

You need to set your location on the top of the items wall now to see everything available and site can be very slow at times, you can keep refreshing tho.
Just put in an order also, no issues.👍

Have you tried going through ther Tor browser and using Society - its slower but works and more secure. :-)

Yes but still hadn’t sussed the ‘Items’ issue - couldn’t see any. Was still prone to crashing too

Try to make a purchase and ur limit willl increase (just don’t fully put the payment threw)

Seems to not be the case anymore. Coin base is working for me for the time being

I use revolut as my only bank account. no need for a physical bank account,because i have a mastercard with them,all my earnings are paid into revolut,and did not need any photo id.I buy my bitcoins from them and then transfer them to my exodus wallet.fees are really low also :)

Does anyone use Paxful? theres sellers who want paypal as payment method and i'm wondering if its legit? the exchange rate is 99% on some offers that would save me a lot of money as i have no ID and being using coincoupon at £15 fees for each buy!

Yeah paxful is good to buy from just buy from sellers with lots of good reviews as some want more money than you sent nd agreed upon but it is overall good

Holy cow - bitcoin is effing complicated. It's not just setting it up, it's all the fees that get added here and there. Wallet, exchange, verification - and then when you take the leap you discover a UK credit card purchase gets you a 24 hour cooling off. WTAF?
I guess it's just the first transaction but even so.
There should be a really simple guide here, step by step and list a few wallets and a few exchanges. So many searches to figure it out and going round in circles.
I was gonna recommend the thing to my mates but they won't have the patience.
Yeah sitting out my 24 hours now.

Btw. Ive been using the plain blockchain wallet for two years without any issues. Least hassle wallet Ive seen! And since I wont upgrade my OS on my mac its one of the few I can actually use. Just sayin, cause Ive seen how it is hated upon on the net. Guess its the competition that spread this lie.

How much do you have in your wallet?….if it’s less than the total with fees it could throw up an error🤔

Which bitcoin site to use

illirum

Exchanges still cant beat the price of btc I get on localbitcoinsdotcom. The only hassle is I need to order btc and go to my local national financial agency and pay a money transfer slip with cash. Thats not a prob tho, cause the teller is a very nice looking woman :P And btc is in my wallet in 3-6 hours after I pay.

Gunga Din

Can I ask, does 'local national financial agency' roughly translate to the Union in the West or something similar?

illirum

It will depend on which country you are in. Look for the bank that is managing the most business in your region...

Gjohal1

Seen this on one of the other platforms not sure if 100% correct but I would be wary of coinbase they are very intrusive closed my account a few months ago. They give details to HRMC depending on whether you’ve spent over the threshold limit.

Ladycoconut78

Bustards charged me 35 dollars fee for sending. Was under pressure so had to accept. Good shout though

Kingerlini

Closed my account last week too.

What do you use now? Cos this is ruining it for me right jow

Allrite I use bitpanda now so far so good no problems.

Sexydormouse

Ok so I want to buy Bitcoin I’m in the uk cex.io seems to say I still can and there’s money in my wallet but it won’t allow me to make payment with any method… is this because I’m in the uk? And is Paybis going to be any better if I open an account and does anyone have any idea if I can move what I have in the vex account over? Sorry but doing it the first time was hard and now I just don’t really understand the problem!

Foxylady3

Does anyone use the app Bitcoin.com ?

Worlddofwarcraftguy

Can someone help me. I’m struggling like mad, iv had my ID rejected at two different exchanges now. All I’m trying to do is order

I have the exact same problem, I open an account and send ID for verification but after days of waiting I get rejected. Really need to buy of LB but can not get around the BTC issue

TeesideFella

Finally just got message from.coinbase that I am now verified, will try first top up in morning as I think fees should be less. Then Will make my first purchase of a Oz of hash from lb

Just gone to pay for an order and Bittylicious will only let me buy a MINIMUM of £100 worth of BTC. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm fully registered and have purchased before!

https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_average_transaction_fee

Yes it’s for everyone, it’s because Bitcoin fees are through the roof at the mo and they are trying to negate the effects. They peaked Tues and seem to be dropping but not yet close to what everyone is used to - I expect it will be several days at least until they remove the restrictions

Was canabis mentioned in the bible

I have read in many places where people claim that canabis was an ingredient used in the anointing oil in the old testament temple .
They claim that the Hebrew word Kaneh Bosem used to be translated as canabis but is now translated as calamus or sweet cane.
I have not yet seen an English version of the bible that translates it as canabis .
Could this be fake news or is there truth to it ?

Gunitbiggy 10/10

I always remember an old boy originally from Yorkshire I worked with a few years ago. He told me a story about the time he went to court for cannabis charges and quoted the bible in his defence.

Gen. 1 Verses 29 to 30
[29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

MoCollier

Hi Philjgrove, it's an interesting theory and would be enjoyable if it's true, but I think it's controversial, of course the conservative Christians wouldn't go with this. I know there is a book on the subject "Cannabis: Lost Sacrament of the Ancient World" by Chris Bennet, also a couple of episodes of podcast "Great moments in weed history" on this subject :-)

pollypuff20

The Holy Grail was slightly bong shaped!

Cr0w

rastas do call it a chalice :)

PsyKoala

Scripture doesn't condemn cannabis but it doesn't condone smoking or being habitually inebriated (your body is a temple, kingdom of heaven not to be inherited by the drunk) but it depends on whether you interpret 'drunk' as relating only to alcohol or having it be a more general term for not being sober. I don't live by the bible but I personally believe God doesn't make mistakes and wouldn't put it here if he didn't want us to use it.

philjgrove

Thanks

Proper buying process advice sought

I’ve made a couple of purchases on LB (noob) by buying bc via Coinbase & sending straight to vendor - so far,so good. But would it be better to send bc to a wallet & pay vendor from there? Also I haven’t seen an option to input a bc wallet address in the event of dispute/refund, perhaps I’m not looking in the right place. Just want to ensure as much as poss that my order/transaction is secure. If anyone’s able to summarise the procedure or offer any advice it would be appreciated

GnuBoarder

It does help. Thank you. I did used to use a Coinomi wallet when I bought on cannazon but when I checked recently the bc exchange rate seemed much more pricey, hence why I’ve just used Coinbase. Anyway, I’m curious as to how my escrowed payment gets released - on cannazon I’d have to log in & mark my order as ‘received’ (I miss cannazon😂 like Amazon fr stoners)
