I don’t think it’s any particular exchange- the fees are set by the miners and they are having a field day…😖

$75 network fee on Exodus at the moment. Crazy.

oh i know, i use that wallet too.... plus i buy coin through banxa, rate is now ridiculous..... used to be quids in on the dollar to buy bitcoin...

Yep, this is being caused by the increased congestion on the chain from ordinals. But at least you can play Doom straight from the Blockchain, silver linings.

Starting to understand 🙏

Just paid around £60 in fees on a £120 transaction. Partly my own fault for leaving the Xmas extra until now but still!!! I feel like this place won't be economically viable for most people if we are forced to stick with BTC for too much longer. People have been crying out for alternative payment options for sooooo long now. Maybe if it starts to impact LB`s bottom line things will change, who knows? Between that & Transaxe being down today so I had to jump onto Society to complete the order. The process is actually pretty stressful waiting with crossed fingers to see if your transaction is actually going to complete at the moment. PLEASE LB for the love of Green consider alternatives to BTC as it's barely viable anymore!

It bloody sucks… This is why I don’t buy here any more.. it breaks my heart as I loved this site… I miss posting about strains I’ve had 😢 as well miss supporting all my favourite vendors…

I’m lucky I can buy from other platforms where things like LTC are accepted…. but not everyone has that option…

I REALLY REALLY REALLY miss this place..

PLEASE BORGS!!! SORT THIS PAYMENT OPTION SHIT OUT!!!
👊💚

Nah feel that, there’s a good engagement on here it’s a shame that it’s still tied down to one currency though not been able to buy off here for a good month gotta get that shitty mall weed 😉

What other platforms are there out of interest?

Can’t say I’m afraid dude due to forum rules. 👊💚

If only it was that easy, I literally found this place by chance! 😂😂

Bloody hell it's horrendous right now.

Thank you 🙏 I just thought I was being mean or targeted by the platform

So this is 17:48 on 16/12/23.

As a test I just looked at a dummy send of £47. I have £85 in the wallet and it won't let me send as I don't have enough for the fees, as they're currently 540 sat/vB for high priority! That's nearly double what I've ever seen it reach. Guess I'm not buying any Christmas gingerbread and Nutella!

Wonderful. It was over 650 sat/vB just now (at 18:35 on 16/12/23)

They want £46 to send to send £106 at the moment on bitpanda!
Sorry make that £62.50 now!

£100 to btc via moonpay and then to transaxe leaves me £60 for weed ... it ain't gonna b a very green Xmas 😭😭😭

yeah its a bit silly now. I remember it was sweet with paybis but then uk gov forced some kind of change and they left. i was using simplex to electrum after and they charged about 15 and 4 to make the payment from electrum to LB. I decided to upload my id to kraken, but its not any better, they charge 3.50 intitial then 13.60 to withdraw then 4£ from wallet to LB and worse is a 72 hour holding on first buy so you have to double up or wait. I'm relatively new to this but it thought it was bad. think the banks (which is also the gov) are trying to bring it down by some age old economic fuckery.

just to say simplex charges are up to 37£!!!! man thats obnoxious. also withdrawing from kraken is an actual skill cause you need a defined amount for your wallet to gen an address, the address must be new on kraken, and then verified, and in that time the decimals have changed and its no longer the same amount. fucking stupid. I was raging when trying on friday but got there in about 10 tries.

Anyone know if it’s safe or had any problems w sending directly to transaxe due to fees atm 🤷‍♂️

I always send directly…

How is this done please?

I just direct my bitpanda send order to the transaxe buy address 👍

How do you do this on bitpanda? Sorry if I'm being thick.

Once you have bought btc in your bitpanda account, select ‘Send’ from the trading options, then paste the lb buy address into the prompt. Add the amount to send and a total will come up that includes the fees. OK it and click on the confirmation email they send. Coin goes straight to LB, your order updates when received 👍

Nice one.

bitpanda no new customers

True at the moment but you can send direct to LB from a lot of exchanges..

Hey @ pollypuff can you send strait from Kraken to LB ? At the moment I am using Kraken then send to Exodus !! A $600 order is costing about £35 / £40 on top each time !! pretty pricy each time you make a order ….

I know it's not ideal but what are the risks of sending bitcoin directly from coinbase to the transaxe rather than to my own wallet first? Looking at close to £40 in fees to send it to my wallet and then transaxe atm

I always send directly to transaxe from coin base

Thanks man, I'm gonna have to do that this time i think

£20 made my shit itch! Not sure how £40 would make me feel :((

If it doesn't sort itself out in the next 24 hours I'm withdraw my coin and it's back to seeing big chin (to be fair his doob is alright and cheap). Just gonna miss the selection and convenience of this place.

It's getting a joke just tried a £125 order wants £58

The miners greed will kill bitcoin off.

I really like zengo and buying bitcoin with banxa try it out , I'm not sure about the passport thing , I probably uploaded a driving license or something , but I havent had any problems in a year now

Thank you 🙏 will check out

It’s been posted a few times but have a look at bitaccelerate.
Fees for my latest transaction were £221. I chose 24hr send which lowered them to £15. I posted TID to bitaccellerate and transaction was completed within a minute at the reduce fee rate.

Thanks, I'll look into this now!

I use crypto.com and the fees has always been the same around £20 no matter how much I’m sending. I know it’s a lot but I try to keep orders to a decent amount to compensate for that.

Hey from crypto.com can you send directly to LB

Thanks

I’ve never had an issue sending directly.

I had a payment pending for 6 days.
If you go to the payment reminder at the top & tap that , you'll be taken to the payment page.
At the top it says payment held in escrow by transaxe. Tap transaxe and it will take you to their Little Biggy page. Message them with your order number and tell them it's pending still. Its basically stuck in the block chain . They will push it through in hours. Message them now and again tonight if they haven't responded. They will Dont worry.

Sincerely appreciate the assistance mate.
Just sent them a message, hopefully can get this sorted and received before christmas

What did you set the sat/VB for the transaction?

I had an order take 20 hours for confimation yesterday. Squeaky bum time all day but eventually got confirmation around 6pm.

I had a look at the mempool and it's on the lower end but no lower than what I would normally pay, seems congested right now, I don't mind when it goes through as long as it does

I had a payment stuck I the block chain for 6 days. What you need to do is go to the payment page where it says payment reminder.
Then tap on where it says transaxe. They have a page on biggy.
You then message them with your order number. They will push it through. May take a day or so but message them now and again tonight. Mine went through a few hours after contacting them.
Good luck pal , you'll be fine . All payment are held in escrow.
