Great game, I played it on the Xbox.

So it's been a couple of weeks and still nothing has really happened as far as coming up with a solution to bring some stability in the pricing for the buyers and vendors, and now that the dollar to pound conversion rate has very very quickly hit it's worst rate on record, and it's clearly showing no signs of slowing down, what are we going to do about this?

My solution, which has been backed up by so many of the sites users that i've lost count, would be the obvious

>CHANGE THE SITES CURRENCY FROM DOLLARS $, TO STERLING £<

$60 is as near as makes no difference, £60 now (£55.26), once you factor in fees for buying btc etc! this is absolute insanity, i'm now unable to afford the order i planned for today due to literal overnight changes in conversion rates

$60 right now is £55.26
$60 a year ago today was £43.20
this is HUGE

I've explained this way too many times in the past couple weeks, but the only reason we are experiencing all the negatives of this is because we are still (for no actual given reason) using Dollars, instead of Sterling as the sites currency!

at the very least, 90% of the buyers on here are within the UK, and all have Sterling in our bank accounts, not Dollars

Dollars and Sterling are neck and neck when it comes to stability in the worlds market, claiming the use of Dollars for stability reasons on here is disingenuous

and how are vendors expected to be sat at their computer 24/7 constantly adjusting their prices on hundreds of listed items just to make it fair for buyers, when all this could be solved with a simple currency change?


$60 right now is £55.26
$60 a year ago today was £43.20

this is INSANE biggas, and it has NOTHING to do with inflation in the context of this website and market

£60 a year ago is £60 today.


one final thing i would like to add biggas that a lot of you probably wouldn't have even seen at the time, or joined long after, but about 2 years ago, before we had initiatives, i was very outspoken about the fact that the BTC prices on here used to be only set in 5 digits, for example 0.0050BTC, and with the instability of BTC, this lead to us never being able to actually pay the correct amount for our orders (0.0057464BTC < how prices look now) often having to pay way more than the order is worth because we didn't have the correct amount of decimal places, this was hugely frustrating and it was costing everyone a fortune, and after making topic after topic screaming at the top of my lungs about how much we need extra decimal places and then out of nowhere with no explanation we were finally given this much needed change when LB went under it's overhaul a couple years back! i wanted to end on that, for the biggas that thought that i'm just bitching, i'm not, i poured so much energy into those topics to benefit all of us, the amount of money that we have all saved since the decimal place change would have surpassed the hundreds of thousands of £ quite some time ago, just like the change i'm asking for now, it's going to save so many people so much money at a time when we coudn't possibly need it more.

Peace.

Perfectly said . JJ & DGT

Thanks for your input JJ good to see you here pal!!

I,ve seen some of your posts before and definitely agree with you 👍

£60 a year ago is not £60 today. i wish it were mate

https://ycharts.com/indicators/uk_inflation_rate

i know it's not, but that's not how inflation works on here as i've already explained and so have others, you're misunderstanding the point, that's not how this site works, as other people have already stated, this kind of inflation isn't relevant within the context of this site and buying weed

a £60 listing a month ago is a £60 listing today
a $60 listing a month ago would be about £48 then, and £55 today
^this is unnecessary inflation and instability

if we were using sterling this whole time then prices wouldn't have been changed by much at all

https://cannabiswealth.co.uk/2022/03/30/inflation-affecting-cannabis-market/

when have you ever gone to your dealer and he's said "sorry mate that quarter is going to cost you an extra tenner today because of inflation"... that's just not how inflation works in relation to cannabis

FOR - Despite the complete collapse of the £ it is still the most stable currency to use because 95% of buyers and sellers are in UK and the £ is the currency we use. This means that a listing of £100 will always be £100 today, tomorrow, next week if its still listed at £100 then you will still pay £100 - this is stability. A $100 listing is £76 then £78 then £82 then £86 then £90 now it's £95even though its still listed unchanged at $100 - that is instability.

Sellers don't want to adjust their prices every day depending on international markets that have no baring on their business.

everything you've just said makes absolute perfect sense and it's disheartening to see that this is still misunderstood by a few

the only reason i can see this not making sense to someone is if they either haven't though about it all, or they have little to no buying experience on here

original topic was posted 3 days ago (23 sep) but it's not being shown on the wall

we've waited too long and now look

at what point does this insanity need to reach before we can get something changed?

This is just common sense. Hesh talking absolute facts in here.

There are a lot of up votes on individual comments, shouldn't the up votes be against this hesh comment 'FOR' in order to be counted? Or am I reading the instructions at the top wrong? "Votes for comments are just appreciation"

Shouldn't there also be one AGAINST comment to register votes?

Is all the voting going to waste? If I am right get up voting on the hesh comment FOR!!!

FOR

there's some shite thinking here but if i take the proposal literally as "a more stable / suitable currency and or pricing" then yeah. not sure how that would work though.

there's some shite comments as well... unbelievable some people.. sorry for being the only person to actually get traction on this topic and start making much needed changes on here mate...

my whole point is to try and bring more stability for everyone as quickly as possible, and thinking of a way forward is the only way

calling this 'shite' without giving any reason why, or actually contributing a good idea, what use is that?

FOR - preferably stable coin, then theirs no issues with payment release dates of 16days for vendors who are then stuck in huge currency fluctuations and this year alone has seen at least 3 occasions of the escrows halving in value within that 16 day period.

It does not make sense, not with the pressures of staying stealth and not being caught by the bizzes we now have to have a degree in economics just to make sure have enough to pay our supplier's in 2 weeks for the reload or have enough money for fuel etc.

The world is at a financial knife edge and if this does not get sorted some poor vendors going to be getting a hiding or 2 from some pissed off supplier who wants their money the plain facts.

Please listen LB
This has mine and many others support, please stop hammering us with exchange rates it’s crippling

100% behind this initiative but sadly I think the site owners don't care. They posted last week about prioritising things behind the scenes. I've not once seen a feature the community has asked for implemented here. I get the feeling the site is run part time by a small group. I know of other marketplaces that have even the most basic of features... dated posts, search features, pages that don't take minutes to load if they have more than 200 topics on them. I can get over the dated posts and loading times but I can't get over the prices. The other place I buy from has lots of flower variety (shit for carts and edibles etc) but flower has always been £37.50 for eighths and doesn't change. It think the LB staff maybe reached the limit of their abilities. Simple functions that any other online marketplace in the world has, the LB staff don't to have the knowledge/time/tools to implement.

Yea this is super frustrating. Why is this even a thing?

Why isn't the GBP&USD price linked to the BTC price?

Altough, tbh, as vendors we should be price checking ourselves and our competition regularly anyway. Or, our customers would give us a nudge I'm sure.

At the same time, the best addition to this site would be both the currency prices, and the ability to settle funds, both customer>vendor and vendor>customer direct on the site.

The current 16 day escrow is laughable and a potential exit scam waiting to happen... the option for the customer to finalize on delivery hurts no-one

worst part is i'm still sat here trying to explain to some BUYERS on here that weed for £37.50 a year ago like on other markets is still £37.50 today

the next person that tries to gaslight me on inflation i swear to god.. just can't help some people

Hey Hesh
Opened up my account to loads of notifications and upvotes on this thread which you still have my full support on but but worried peeps are voting on a year old thread, is this null and void at this point ? I know both buyers and sellers are being shafted with fees again or still do we need to start again or will the recent activity count ?

Hey Emz, yeah pretty sure it's null and void at this point, i should have dated the original post i guess but i didn't think we would be facing the same problems over a year later

I think someone mentioned that this topic was open so i tried to revive it and also started a new one.

It has been noted but the issue is the dev work that needs to be done is a fairly big job that from what I am gathering hasn’t got much incentive.

I also know blockhead have announced they are setting up an alternative recently.

Sorry for all the notifications though!🙈

for newer biggas that are unsure of the context of some of the replies in this topic, it was created over a year ago when not only did we still have the same problem of literally being robbed by fees, but we also had the problem of every single dollar costing 92p, rather than the 81p it is now which made every single order considerably more expensive for absolutely no reason other than the site being set to the wrong currency for it's customer base

over a year later, all these votes, and we still have all the same problems apart from those same problems essentially being worse than they were a year ago due to cost of living crisis etc,

all these problems could and should have been solved over a year ago

the outcome of resolving these problems means everyone has more money to buy more weed and everyone wins in every possible way

This is a link to devvy borg. There's a bounty on there for 1800 dollars to complete a page that will allow vendors to specify a currency. It's under react/js post.
It has a screenshot of the possibility. Looks good if it can be completed

Valid comments on both sides of for/against, ultimately for me I'm FOR.

Thank every single one of you for your input especially the vendors who have already made changes to their pricing to try and help with this situation <3

Not gonna lie I would love to save money being on the side of the buyers however, I do feel the conversion rate inflation we feel is balanced by the loss the vendors can take in BTC. It seems like a harmony that is keeping this site going...even if only barely. I will add that if BTC has a nice rise than vendors should reduce their prices accordingly.

I made this post nearly 3 years ago mate when the dollar to pound conversion rate was 92p per dollar and was changing by a huge amount daily
despite the vast amount of votes, nothing ever came of it and the initiative borg was last online 910 days ago lol

Haha I gave a good effort.

We actually came to little biggy as we noticed we can beat these shitty prices/quality from some other vendors!

We are here to look after customers not rip them off

ONLY ONE LEFT‼️

The Orange Creamsickle from PinkLeaf Pharmacy is superb. I found their White Nectarine extract to taste quite orangey too :)

Thanks Jim!

I ordered this last night. Payment hasn't gone through yet. Orange day awaits.

Nice man! We’ll throw in some White Nectarine as well for you, to pay homage to your Orange night - very jealous!

Well that'd be awesome thanks. It is a worthy cause. I'll write up a topic as I plough through orange day to record my experience. I'm curious how it'll go. I put my order through with low gas fees so payment will take a while. My fee levels were higher than I expected so I had to set it low. Hopefully it'll have gone through soon. Thanks PLF.

No worries mate! We’re away until tomorrow anyway so no rush on payment. Look forward to seeing your topic!

I've not ordered from them before. The extracts look great though. Orange fan too?

Step right in, sir 🫡

Will definitely be visiting after payday. I've been on cheap bits for a while, which to be fair, on lb, are really pretty decent. But am excited to have a blowout.

Completely agree - I've had that one before. I was surprised at how orangey it was. Keep It Green was the king of orange strains but seems to be taking a break. I'll likely order the Citrodelic again.

Ooh our Tropicana Cherry may be right up your street.
Got a 3.5 left.

You need to get the orange hat and a carton of Tropicana orange with bits

I don't get paid til end of the month so I assume someone else will have had it by then. I am glad someone is down with the orange hat though. If you're going to do something you may as well overdo it.

I found the original post. Turns out they got the idea from someone else too. Like Picasso said, good artists copy while great artists steal. Anyway, is linked if anyone wants to read it.

Just over 90mns to go..

Good luck Biggas!!
