So I've made a wallet with electrum but if I want to buy bitcoin off those sites it asks for I'd verification? Is there a way around this? Is it safe to buy bitcoin for use on this site when you've had to verify you identity? Seems mad dodgy to me...

pretty much the default behaviour is suspect but there are lots of ways to obfuscate for a bigga that cares. bitcoin atms are anonymous in many places and theres always p2p traders.

Very straight forward. Thanks for this info <3 Hopefully everyone can benefit from this.

hi im trying to register on here but it asking for a referral token can you please help?

thats optional, but it looks like you registered ;}

very simple and informative thanks

check out btc direct with id without id check out crypto voucher io don’t buy anymore then €45 at a time you can only do this 5 times until you will have to verify id

Same thing has happened to me today. Its not the first time it's happened. Both times I just sent the vendor a quick message in case they're struggling to trace it. But it arrived fine and prompt last time.

unfortunately I can't remember the vendor, I've only got the reference number, so keeping my fingers crossed it arrives.

If you’ve got the reference number and it doesn’t arrive after 10 days then ask Escrow Suisse for help in tracing it. You could scroll through ‘items’ until you see it- but if you can’t remember the vendor OR the item you must have been well baked when ordering! ;)

If you put an address in and your payment went out it'll probably turn out fine

Always buy extra bitcoin for fees

haha yes, btc fees have been very high lately

AGREED ^

what vpn is everyone using? if any

i think having a vpn much more important as a vendor than a buyer

BUT, better to be safe than sorry

I’m using TunnelBear, but only because I bought a sub ages ago and it was so easy to set up and use. Proton are doing a free one (with higher paid tiers) that might be worth trying…

as a buyer I think you shouldn’t need vpn but as a seller security should be a high priority

i actually agree
tor is good enough for buyers!

I have yet made a buy here, due to lack of knowledge of the pgp, and how it is correctly used any guidance most appreciated, finding searchbar knowledge of it is hard work.

1. check reviews carefully (not just the 10s) and go by recommendations
2. ask as many questions as needed and only use vendors who communicate properly about their products and processes
3. try to only use smaller vendors, preferably who grow it themselves whenever possible and stick with them.
4. check stealth and only use vendors with good stealth
5. only ever get it sent RM 1st class in fake name

I’ve read elsewhere here that using a fake name is paradoxically more problematic than using your real name as it’s more likely to arouse suspicion…

I’ve read that loads of times too. But I don’t think the postie cares what name it says. Would you? They don’t know who lives at your address. All they care about is the house number and the postcode. They have to deliver it regardless of the name. I get all sorts of post from people who have lived here before me, it’s not really suspicious. It only seems suspicious because we know what’s in the package.

I think this one depends on your neighborhood. My postie lives around the corner, yours probably does too. He knows anyone and everyone, chats to most people and would definitely find it odd if I started receiving parcels in someone else's name. He'd also remember if it wasn't the first time.

They usually do care, it's their job to get the right mail to the right recipient and it's really all they have to do except the walking.

For the rare unscrupulous postie... a parcel addressed to someone who 100% doesn't live at the address in question is the easiest one to 'lose'.

That's my take anyway.

Yep, that’s fair point. I suppose everyone has to do what they think is best…

& not forgetting LUD...

We aren't on the wall but have some good weed for sale

Also...

One vendor that doesn’t hit the wall that often but clearly loves their craft is The Cheesemaster. Very fair prices and my free tracked turn up the next day, although I know that’s not the same as NDD...

We are open :)

Name and shame. Got a guess who it is...

No problem. On your order page next to history there is a dispute link- click that to Escrow page and click chat to inform them. Escrow will investigate and if the seller doesn’t respond then a refund will result....

Use the Chat button on Transaxe help.

You'll need the order ref.

Was it hashishin as he a scammer

Nope.

One of the best on here. Highly highly recommended after multiple purchases.

No way

I'm not here to scam anybody, hundreds of positive review will testify that. it seems you've just got lost with the stealth, I've sent you a private message with "instructions" to find it. I wish you've messaged me privately trying to figure it out instead of just deciding I'm out to scam people.

I'd say it should be shipped by now unless there is a weekend involved.

Just drop your vendor a message mate and ask the order status. Maybe you ordered after cut off and they weren't posting the following day either. Hope this helps :)

When this is the case with certain vendors it's usually because they only want established customer to limit people try to pull a fast one. Once ypu have a decent buy history they will usually grant access via there password if you message them. Hope this helps :)

There seems to be some confusion here, please accept our responsibility and apology for this.

We generally do not take seller terms into account, instead we base resolution on the reputation of each party.

Thanks for clarifying,
Can I ask
why include terms and conditions on the sellers part then?
As my conditions clearly state I don't offer reship or refunds. My buyers are aware of this.

We don't know what the field is for but there are terms other than refunds and those would not conflict with escrow claims.

For instance you could say buyers must be from a same day delivery area to expect same day delivery. This would set an expectation and save a lot of misunderstanding for everyone.

This kind of expectation would not be in conflict with the reality that claims we process are based on reputation, not a sellers refund policy.

Thanks for the the reply, I just got a 3g reship after 7g went missing. Thankfully the order is till sitting there, so we'll see how good my reputation is. I was just going with the 'I won't be ordering off then any more'

Only issue I’ve ever had was similar. 3G reship for a 10g order. Escrow paid 50% on top. Hope you get something similar.

Leaves the problem that disputes don’t show how it went and show unfavourably against the buyer, like 20%disputed on my profile and 0% on the sellers even though he was found against.

Good luck.

Escrow is great, sorted a no show from blame Canada and got a full resend and made up the difference for something that went missing over bitcoin growing about 3-fold.

I was sort of happy with 50% resend but can see how it can be abused by a vendor. Most I've used are really good and above board. The crazy prices reflect the fact you're not getting stung every other purchase... the possibility of refunds for good buyers is a testament to the system.

I haven't had to use Escrow yet after many orders but I've always used special delivery post to avoid as many issues and conflicts as possible.

How to create a dispute ?

Surely you miss understand the concept of Terms and Conditions?

Each vendor has there own terms and conditions of service.

Some offer a full reship, some offer 50%, some don't offer any reships.

If the vendor clearly states any of these terms. It removes escrow terms for a full refund!

I would highly suggest you read any terms or conditions set out by each vendor

I've never been a dark web vendor, nor will I ever be!

What utter shit information to give

Nope, escrow overrides those terms.

It actually doesn't. I am proof, thank you

They can choose to override it if there becomes alot of issues due to your terms.

Please educate yourself guys

I would love to be educated UK 420...

I have clearly in my T&C's that I would be contacted before a dispute or negative rating and in my first week I was trolled and marked a 1/10.... The messed up thing is this troll thought I was another user and broke my conditions. However admin for Little Biggy have let it stand... Really frustrating as a new vendor.

Yeah sorry dude, you will need to ride that review out based on how the LB system works. It can be really hard for a new vendor to get established on here and there does occasionally seem to be shenanigans regarding review bombing ongoing on the site for ages now. Oh and 420 is wrong escrow overrides all terms based on vendor and purchaser rep

Not saying what you have stated doesn't make sense uk420, however, escrow will always override your terms and they will decide the refund amount for the dispute based on the reputation of the parties involved....

Thanks guys will have a look at both options! Probably too lazy to do the manual cash but thanks though!

I tried these crypto exchanges few times when I was a newb to crypto. Lost so much money due to fees. Now I buy crypto only for cash on localbitcoins, I just have to order and go pay in cash. Localbtc will also have a link to some local crypto exchange which will have the cheapest prices for crypto. At least thats my exp.

Try paxful might be of use to you

Coinbase has not sent it yet , seen few people with this problem today , got transfers on Coinbase and click it , it won’t get a txtid till Coinbase sends it , probably waiting to put it in with more orders saves them money rather than single transactions

hi mate. yeah, just over an hr and it is sorted.

:)

Same thing happening with me. Paid over an hour and half ago.

Order still says unpaid although transaxe says received & paid also on 3+ confirmations.

Don’t know what the hell to do as my order is time sensitive I’ve already contacted transaxe but as usual they take forever to reply.

Do I cancel the order & replace it?

My mind is frazzled. So upset this has never happened to me before ever.

Same here paid 6 hours ago, transaxe showing as paid but order not paid. Not sure how long to wait or what to do next

same thing with me buddy

Same here its been 3 and half hours now. No reply from transaxe support

My order also showing unpaid for over 6 hours. If you click on it, it shows paid but says unpaid. I contacted the seller to advise paid but no reply. Not sure what else I can do.

Noticed this, previous behaviour was to swap the form for the (encrypted) white text input blob. I would like to use PGP now and in the future.

I used it like so (as above) recently with a vendor who i know takes in transactions via pgp text input form.

On my browser too the button is behaving exactly as the OP has described. It is something of a red flag in my opinion given how important pgp is for confidentiality if something is actually up.

Have you put your public key in settings?

You might need to confirm your vendor has too. Tbh I’m not sure if that feature is disabled or not, never seen confirmation either way but you can’t message in pgp.

BTC is fully traceable in the block chain.
Use of BTC tumblers or tumbling through multple wallets yourself to break the connection between a Bitcoin address sending coins and the address they are sent to. It’s a method of securing the privacy of your BTC by mixing it with other people’s coins, or new coins.

nope

just don't have KYC connected to the wallet and you should be fine. Really any website engaging in illegal activity should have monero as a payment option, literally a no brainer

You are absolutely right, BTC was not created with the purpose to be anonymous, but, it is also much harder to track down a person based only on a BTC transaction. Anyway, yes, you can make it even harder to track you by using a BTC tumbler service.

There are signs that BTC is a VERY good tool for surveilance actually...

If you know that address X is owned by Mr. Y, then yes, it is perfect for tracking all his activities, otherwise not much helpful.

Yeah, and it is very easy to find who owns which adress...

No, it is not, you can't pick an address and just find the IP linked to that address. Unless who owns that address used a compromised wallet which added in the header chunk more information about the sender. But this would be a little bit difficult to happen because the tx would have an invalid header.

Or maybe did you find a weakness point in the source code of BTC? If so, let's talk in private

I should have been more clear haha, sry... And I didnt say everyone could do it.

Because bitcoin is pseudo-anonymus and since its all tied to IP adresses an expert with resources could do it easily is what I meant. Osit

But I think that we should clearly state that the blockchain does not store the IP address (a good example are the offline wallets, which can send/receive without even being connected to the internet).

Retrieving a IP from a tx would mean that an attacker got access to a third party website which acts like an wallet.

BTC it is safe from this pov, the main problem is that the transaction are not layered (like TOR browser does), apart that. The average person should really not worry about.

its becoming almost impossible for me to buy bitcoin with no ID now :(

yeah now the makeover is done surely the integration of Litecoin is next and arguably more important

The fees drive me mad , its expensive enough , looking for a new wallet as we speak blockchain fees went up need another wallet .

I've been using exodus wallet which is good for fees. Or was up until the last time I used it anyway. Its actually buying the bitcoin that I've found ridiculously expensive. Can only get it just now from bittylicious, as no id. And would have cost £65 yesterday to get £40 btc! Hoping that goes bk to normal, as used to pay around fiver.

Yea I've been buying from bittylicious cos I have no photo ID just now. And fees were bit high. Usually depending on what brokers are online at the time. But went to try to buy £40 today and they wanted £65 for £40 off bitcoin! I've tried goin on later, & it's stil around £15 fee. I've nvr seen it so high. And struggling to find somewhere that don't need ID as no where near bitcoin atm. So any other payment would be good. Cos I want to make order, but not gonna pay nearly £20 in fees to buy bitcoin!

Yeh bitcoin fees went crazy sometime last night. When fees go up like this it really makes buying on here stupidly expensive. Like last night if you wanna buy a 3.5 off most vendors on here you’re looking at best part of £70 which is just madness tbf. So any way of reducing the transaction fees would be much appreciated

yea the fees can be pretty crazy at times. I've hold btc and other coins so don't have to constantly buy btc when i need to get weed but its the fees from having to sometimes move from wallet to wallet also that annoys me. Placed an order the other day and had to move some btc around from different wallets and ending up having to pay like £7 in transaction fees. Whereas if i was using XRP or somthing, it would have only cost me list £0.25 .

I wish there were other payment options. The fees are ridiculously high just now. I'm just hoping that they'll drop soon. Can't afford to buy at these rates.

Sounds like a technical issue. https://littlebiggy.org/link/ZRkGQp
Support link for such

Ty

Transaxe sorted, many thnx

Try downloading an app, like coinbase. Once you set the app up you can buy bitcoin with your card.

It's all btc unfortunately, safer for every1, btc is a head wrecker tho and it's expensive, wish we all could just pay by card lol

That would involve taking payments “off site” which is a no no here, sure fire way to get your account nuked, also here you have protection in the form of escrow, use your card and all that protection is gone and you’re at the mercy of the vendor.
In short, don’t bother

That goes against all LB rules! It’s simple enough to set up a wallet and buy and send it’s simple

A quick google search & 10mins reading sure anyone can do it!

Mush love all hope everyone has a blessed day!

That's not going to happen. It goes without saying that having personal data linked to illicit purchases creates a whole paper trail that no seller (or buyer) wants a part of! Do your research on google. Coinbase is a good start, but you might want to think about a 3rd party wallet to store your coin and route your transactions through. Everyone here was a noob once. It's time to take the plunge. It's less risky than using your card (for everyone).

Just a friendly warning. Dont even consider using Herbalist Tea Rooms, I was scammed along with many others. They started out ok and appeared to be fulfilling all orders. Now, however, many folk are losing their money. Same with Dankys. Both are now receiving a bad rap on Trustpilot. Highly recommend staying well away from those sites.

Thanks man - already lost a hundred quod so yes STER CLEAR everyone

Hello Pukka! Hope it’s not to late for my two cents on this btc buy and pay. Clasical approach is to make an account with an btc exchange, in order to transform money from your card in btc ( Coinbase is the best but crowded, i use cryptocoin.ro) Then, when the exchange is completed, transfer your btc in your personal wallet ( i use Blockstream Green wallet) When the btc is in your personal wallet you can use them as you wish. Offcorse there will be all kinds of commisions to pay like payng with card, transfer to your wallet and sending btc to vendor. Usualy in my case, all the taxes are around 10-12% of my order. And that’s when the btc market is calm. Lately was a little messy but it will pass. Dudes tell me that you can pay vendor directly from your btc exchange, but imo, sending them to your wallet adds a layer anonymity. If you go for clasic method install your wallet first and generate a btc receiving adress in order to provide the btc exchange. Then setup account at prefered btc exchange, provide ID and adress. It’s fairly complicated shit for us, the two left hands dudes, but after initial setup its stupid simple to work that btc transactions.
Respect!

Coinbase. There's nothing more user friendly.

Sign up to an account.

Give them your photo ID (this seems counter intuitive to many, but blame the US and UK governments).

Buy some BTC. There's a variety of methods as some banks will not let you buy crypto. Watch the fees though, the fastest methods are the most expensive.

Now you can go shopping.

When you click buy you'll be given a figure in BTC and a wallet address.

Click TRADE in your new BTC account in Coinbase and you'll be asked for an email address or some bank details or that wallet address you just got.

Most trades are near instant... just not right now unfortunately.

HTH.

I found the best and cheapest way is to order BTC on localbitcoins.com where you can choose in what way you will pay for it(maybe you will see a link to your local btc exchange where it can be even cheaper). And I use a free blockchain.com wallet with success.
No need for coinbase or similar services..

I'm getting this too. No idea whats happening. Fees are painfully high though.

I think there is a €25 minimum to send. If that's not the issue, maybe the fees are sky high at the moment and there's not enough in to cover that?

Thanks mate, I guess it might be the fees, but I thought I tried making orders for various amounts, and they all had the same issue.

Any idea how I can see how much fees are currently being applied by bitpanda on each transaction, and check if they are crazy high?

It took me a little bit to spot this too...I don't think the fee has anything to do with how much you're sending. After you've put the recipient address in it brings up where you put the amount you want to send. The fee is right under where you type the amount in ... And it's there before you even put the amount in. I do this all on my phone by the way so I'm just assuming it all looks the same wherever you're doing it.

Last weekend the fees were up in the 20-25 quid area all Saturday so I just kept checking until it came down. About 8pm Sunday I checked and it was £4 and I made my purchase

Wow, I had no idea the fees oscillated so much; I'll try again later in that case. I don't know anything about cryptocurrencies but the fact that fees can vary to that degree is nuts.

Fees at £40 today. I don't know if the entire btc network is like this, or if bitpanda oscillates more wildly than other exchanges/platforms

Where do you check the fees price? the fees to spend 50 quid at the moment are 30 quid - F that!

The only way to check the fees that I can see is to start to make a transaction. So the way I check is I go to send BTC, then just pick an old address from the list of previous transactions and it will bring up the current fee price. Doesn't matter how much you're sending....the fee is based on how much BTC buying and selling there is going on at the time. Or so I heard. Buying in bulk is one way to spread the fee since its the same no matter how much your spend. That's not a great solution for everyone obviously.

Having this issue with my wallet, too. Not bitpanda but same problem

Interesting to hear it's not just me PF! Could be a LB issue I guess. Looks like a dry weekend ahead for me :P

I wasn't trying to purchase on LB...so not a site issue

The 'minimum transaction value' seems to vary on BP. Sometimes I have enough to make a $45 transaction plus fees, but others it demands I spend more as a minimum. I see the option being two fold. 1- Spend less on here 2 - Put more in my BP account and don't buy smaller weights. I can't see option 1 getting much of a look in tbh.

Yeah. Pretty much same issue

I had the same thing happen to me on coinbase. It maybe the transaction fees! I used to pay around $3 it jumped up to like $45 I didn’t realise!

I had a similar issue. It sorted itself out after a short while.

I'm having the same issue. I was confused about what's going on. Also does anyone know if there is a minimum BTC amount you need to send. There are some items on here for $5 but can you send such a small amount. I can't seem to send BTC at the moment but hopefully I can do it again soon.

If you go to their page it should tell you if they are online or when they were last online.

Some sellers have that option on the checkout, like "already paid" option, others have Custom purchases that puts a couple of their strains. Others don't have the option, but if you ask they will put an extra to cover the 2nd shipping. Hope this helps
