Emsbod why would you downvote my post on a help thread dude?

Blockchain.com

Localbitcoins for cash transactions??

Rates arent the best but you can shop around for best deal

Never used it personally so its about all i can say on the matter

Cheers mate I’ve had a look at that but someone in my house is on the ‘vulnerable list’ so I can’t go out at the minute but thank you that’s definitely on the agenda once this is all over :)

The sooner the better

100% - although I love spending time in my own company, it’s getting a bit much now :D

True, well ive been going out...I limit social contact as standard so this is no different apart from signing on the bru and less shops to spend money in hahaha

Haha yeah I was a pro social distancer before this started so I’m cushty :D! Do feel sorry for people who like to go out and mingle though!

There is no good reason to keep using coinbase there are so many alternatives that are respectful of customers and their privacy.

I’ve managed to set up a blockchain account and move my funds from Coinbase to blockchain, I don’t really like Coinbase after all this.. it’s made me feel like a bit of an idiot tbh

Glad you got it moved man

thank you so much, just made a purchase using blockchain, wasn't my original purchase because of all the fees that were taken up but nonetheless i've made a purchase, so thanks for the help!

Niceone man good job , Sorry to hear you couldn’t get what you originally wanted, but if you do order again your set up now on blockchain,

i can not express how thankful i am for your help, i honestly thought my funds were stuck in coinbase -.- thank you so so much!

:) it’s all good man

Do not send directly from the brokerage service(Coinbase) to a LB or other illegal shopping ! These brokerages exist with the knowledge that crypto isn't being used for anything illegal. Transfer to your own wallet, then move your coin to the market. It's always adds an extra layer of security. Blockchain is good.

Ok thank you for the info, I’ve opened a blockchain account and it seems simple to use, will try and get my head around how it works, thank you again.
Also can I send my ‘trapped’ funds from Coinbase to blockchain?

Its simple. Buy crypto from Coinbase or likewise agency(Binance,Coinmama) and transfer funds to blockchain. Blockchain is your online wallet where you store crypto and then pay for your purchase.

Oohhhh, I understand now, thanks! I’ve managed to verify myself with blockchain and move my funds from Coinbase to blockchain so hopefully I’ll be able to make a purchase some time soon, thanks for the info and help

Could send it to another wallet and try from that , don’t no if your doing it on your phone or computer or true the app or site ? Try the site rather than the app , I’d that don’t work send it to another wallet and send it from that one

I’m using the website on a computer to purchase bitcoin and items from this website, the only reason I used Coinbase is because I’m a bit new to bitcoin and purchasing items off a site like this and it seemed really easy to use..
What other bitcoin websites are easy to use? Or are as easy to use as Coinbase?

I understand, I use Coinbase to and if there’s problems I use blockchain ,

Ok, I’ll look into that, thank you so much

No worries man hope you get it sorted :)

Thank you, I’ve opened a blockchain account and it seems simple to use, just wondering if I can send my ‘trapped’ funds from Coinbase to blockchain?

Btc atm review

I had to use a Bitcoin atm awhile ago so thought I'd share my experience with you all.

Coinbase was messing about an couldn't use my card, I tried my partners card an my mum's with no luck. I couldn't be dealing with signing up to other sites so looked into an atm and how far I would have to go to use one. After finding one which was 20mins away by train I thought fuck it I'll try it as I really needed to get some nice weed n hash as not going on the street to score anymore. I was up all night thinking about my journey, going throu everything that could possibly go wrong an how I would work around any mistake I made. So the big day is here an I'm on the train feeling nervous like that feeling the first time your waiting for your smoke from the site so I keep going to the toilet to vape but that made me very paranoid which was my only mistake of the day. Now I'm off the train I get my phone out for the map and start walking into the unknown. After about 10mins of walking I find the shop which to my surprise is a small shop selling middle eastern food so I go back online an make sure it's the right place. After seeing it was the right place I go in an ask "is your satoshipoint working" and he said "yes but it won't be switched on untill 9:30" so I went to McDonald's and waited bout 40mins. When I got back to the shop it was up and running so nothing was going to stop me this time :).
First off I set up my btc wallet to receive then on the machine I choose English as my language then less than £500. Now I start putting the cash in the machine an after I put £150 in there I choose btc then it asks for an address so I held my phone up to the scanner and done so simple and no I'D need. After walking out the shop I had a massive grin on my face, the kind you have after your first ever BJ.
The exchange rate was right just had to pay 7.5% which is bout 4% more than coinbase but worth it for not showing ID ect. I didn't really mind the extra 4% or the train fair as I sold abit of smoke so that funded my trip an a McDonald's :).
So all in all it was fun and a good experience, I can now say iv used a btc atm iv used the future of money.

bro reading this stoned is like an adventure story lol

Lol tanks mate

Hi. Can you talk me through purchasing bitcoins at my local ATM, as i am unsure of the processes? Thank you.

sure

Step 1 - Prepare an address to send the coins to. If you are buying something on littlebiggy with all of the coins you can click the pay button here to get this address. If not you will need a bitcoin wallet and address to store the coins. See separate posts about this or just ask me if you need help.

Step 2 Go to the ATM, note the store hours and bring ID (don't worry too much about this, if you are super concerned see the info about coinmixing)

Step 3 Pay cash into the machine and enter the address you want to send the coins to. Done.

:)

You don't even need an address, the atm can create one for you and print out the password to an online wallet.

Wow there's 2 near my house!

Coinbase or blockchain man , localbitcoins.com

Coincorner is not hard to beat on price, btcbit and coinabase to name 2.

Thanks for getting back to me mate. Isn’t there an issue with coinbase and transferring directly to vendors? Should/Do you need to transfer to your own wallet first? If so, is there a wallet you recommend? Many thanks

Been using Coinbase directly since Bernie Sanders was wearing shorts.

Thanks for the reply but I think there is an issue with coinbase banning people for doing transactions directly from them. I’ve seen this mentioned a few times in the threads below.

I've used coinbase for ages never had any problems.

you have a wait.

few more birthdays to see yet!

;)

Mum's drawer

Silly kid trix is for biggz,

time to throw momma from the train, if you have experience with bitcoin there is 0 reason to use them. without knowing your situation i would say kraken, they are just as intl, with much better rates and better customer service.

Thanks! I just signed up and so far kraken seems like a much better crypto exchange. Hoping to make my first BTC purchase there soon.

I always recommend Bittylicious, you can read more by clicking on the link below :)

https://littlebiggy.org/link/OXJ2RJ

Blockchain App for me. From memory i had to do a £90 minimum 1st purchase, but after that I've been able to do any amount by Card, with the funds cleared to use within 30 minutes.

I’ve heard a few stories like this so don’t use them to store anymore! Still OK to buy from, BitPanda is really good and simple like Coinbase. LocalBitcoins is good but the rates are super terrible on it in some countries. Sounds racist but I think they call it Kimchi tax ha! Bittylicious is another buying platform I have heard of.

yeah that kimchi tax stinks (jeez i cant help myself). paxful is a good substitute for lbc, especially as they have become so compliant to the banking cabal.

There really isnt any good reason to use coinbase anymore, Besides being antiethical to little biggy and freedom in general they are also shitty with customers. They dont even take credit cards anymore. There are dozens of better substitutes these days.

Please name 1 or more that services the US?

square cash app is best in us for non credit card, with cards cex.io is pretty good, kraken as well.

what I do with coinbase is I use them just for purchasing. Then I move the coin to a wallet on a different site and I use that site to buy from. That way coinbase's 3 day delay (or any other rule) can't hurt me and my "spending" is simply a transfer to a different wallet.

You defined half of the problem. Been using them for 6 years, and at least 2 transactions every year have been "delayed", and NONE of those were justified or necessary. The last one, 2 weeks ago, bought BTC from them, went to send it to my wallet, and got a 72 hour "clearing" warning. Why? To "protect" me. Their answer was "it's a new address...". Why the f**k should they care what BTC address I send to??? So yeah, 3 days is great, but not when you want it TODAY and you paid for it TODAY.

They stopped the delay for me after I started sending the coin to the same wallet.

They booted me this month. Denied advancement to next level due to my coin going to places they don’t approve

Localbitcoins.com is always a good option for an experienced user. If you prefer to stay with an exchange it depends what country you are in.

not very secure!

I wanted the same as a newbie to BTC and here.

after asking and reading around its NOT advised.

I thought CoinBase & PayPal were linked up now?

There are legitimate sellers on Paxful doing this now https://paxful.com/buy-bitcoin/paypal Do make sure you check the reviews.

You need to have a verified paypal account and expect thorough ID checks.

cryptonit.net is the best of the worst here, I recommend cash, card, or bank unless you are hell bent.

For leather?

mycelium app.

C PAY is good

I like copay its a good balance of features, ease and its open source.

yeah bitcoin atm via mycelium app. on phone.

sure just use a bitcoin atm, you can google maps one

Give BitPanda a go if you’re in Europe (they’re expanding global too). BittyLicious is good for U.K. I hear but prices slightly higher. LocalBitCoin too.

A lot of ATMs in the UK use coinatmradar.com to find the closest. Online I would say coinhouse.io or bitpanda.com they both accept cards and bank transfers.

This can happen a lot on coinbase. Good platform to buy but maybe send and store you coins somewhere else, ready for that last minute order haha! I use a website to store my coins that pays me 4.08% interest annually and I get free satoshis every hour. I hold here as it’s cheaper to send too, can be slow but have different options. Message if you want a referral link, you only need an email address. I’ve been using it for about 3 years now with no problem.

Coinbase has imposed a 3 day delay on me (so no LB purchases). The company I used to use won't let me buy any BTC but I can send from there so I send the BTC from COINBASE to myself at the other site. 3 days passes and then I place my order on LB. easy as 1-2-3

Depends on the status of your bitcoin transaction. Highly likely Coinbase will show confirmation of the transaction in which case it's not going to be a problem even if its expired on lb, contact the seller as soon as you have a blockchain confrimation url. If it can't be confirmed coinbase will return coins to you so either case it's not to worry.

Got confo from Coinbase, just contacted Mr Coffee. Hope this goes well, as it is 1st time through btc

If you have a confirmation url it's impossible to go wrong. It's like the system works on the same info you have, that's the beauty of btc versus the banking system.

Well it's been 4 days now and I am still waiting confirmation by seller. These bitcoins are really convenient e? NOT!!

If you did the transaction directly from coinbase then they are banning you. You should have transferred your coin to a wallet first and then do the transaction from there. Coinbase is for buying and selling of bitcoin itself, it is not a platform for buying and selling goods with bitcoin, especially the kind of goods sold here. That is how I got banned. Now I use Gemini to buy bitcoin and Blockchain as my wallet.

You should understand this guy is here to help people buy bitcoins not help you with public threads about your order.

True this and if he is going to bitch he should follow up and let us know how it resolved.

It's ok, I try to help people any way I can. I'm not privy to orders though and can't really say much that helps. My experience is that everyone is sorted around here. One thing though - I'm not a guy ;)

How long does it take to cross check? It is already 48 hours and I am still waiting...

I’m sure BitPanda is on Android!

try the cash app from square

this looks pretty good how long has it been around?

Helpful as always, thanks

Sweet! Thanks sir/madame :)

You should have an option to choose the currency amount like £50, or have the choice to buy part of a coin I.e. 0.001 bitcoin.

I use coinbase but also have a BRD account.

I use Coinbase to buy crypto. Still searching for a cheaper option in the UK.

Wish I could - still half way though filling registration in and stuck on question... Source of funds, but only gives me the options "employment" (in which case, it asks for employment info), "investment," "inheritance," and "mining."

Even asking what my job is, giving a long list to pick from with no other option available.

Blockchain has already come through so I’ve placed my order. Excited now!!! Thanks for all the help!!!

Any time dog :)

I’ve bought two lots now, £50 from block chain an app on my phone and £50 from another site on my pc (someone suggested the site on here earlier) Both have said I’ve gota wait 48 hours for my payment to be verified?? They haven’t taken any money yet but I’ll give it a couple of days and see what happens.

LBC is a lousy place for a noob especially with a small transaction mate. Coinbase is easy to get started then move on to something better.

There are many traders on lbc, with much lower minimums than that. It's possible to buy just a few quids worth. PM me and I can take you though it step by step if needed.

I'd just get the photo ID sorted as you'll need it for other things eventually.

That’s a very difficult one as many/most bitcoin wallets need to go through their security measures meaning that you will need to have an ID present e.g. passport to verify that it’s you. Like bit easy really stated localbitcoins is the best site for that or at least it is for me. You can use your debit card on there or Paypal. The fees vary as well but are usually quite solid.

This is a tough ticket since you are paying the trader via funds that can be reversed - credit cards, paypal, even bank transfers. Unless you have a reputation with the trader that's too risky. They will either charge a lot to cover the risk or they themselves are looking to rip you off.

A cash transaction with localbitcoins.com is the most consistent way to do this. There are a few bitcoin atms that do this too, try bitcoinatmradar.

Thank you so much for help ?

Meant to be a smile not a question mark lol

Hi I accidentally sent BCH rather Thant BTC is it possible to get funds back ? Or what are my options? Thanks

That's a tough one. Bch is a different coin with different wallet holders for any given address. You must contact the owner of the address and that's a pretty anonymous thing.

If there is a place to seek an answer it's from the bch community. They have a subreddit and they are also responsible for the bitcoin.com site.

Sorry this happened to you. If bch doesn't fix this problem they will devolve into a scam coin.

Thank you Mr. Anderson (Agent Smith voice)

What is the best way to set up bitcoin in Ireland? New to the whole bitcoin paying

bitpanda.com is an eu favourite, buy.bitcoin.com is also very good

Hello my friend
It's not much easy for me
I live in Turkey and everytime i try to buy bitcons on coinbase it tells me that my country is no available:(
Can i solve this ? Can you tell me from where to buy with card

bitpanda.com will accept sea from your bank or a card payment, bitupcard is a good way in turkey with cash.

What would i do without you
Rhank you so much for helping

Yes it's a daft scheme, you are technically lending, not exchanging but that's regulatory window dressing. This is good exchange for the reasons you point out. Give it a try, and as always if you have any trouble come right back here for help.
