Wow there's 2 near my house!

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

shame they're illegal now. FCA has time to ban this but not MLM scams, shame on them!

In the United Klepdom at least. Seems they are starting to get pretty scared.

a great resource

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.

You could try a bitcoin ATM if there's one close to you. Usually fees aren't high depending where you are and which ATM it is.

Thanks for the suggestion but according to https://coinatmradar.com/bitcoin-atm-near-me/ there aren't any remotely near me lol. However, to add to earlier suggestions, I went ahead and tried getting a PASS card as I know Bittylicious accepts these and maybe other exchanges too. I paid £15 to get a Citizen Card https://www.citizencard.com/ but I have hit a stumbling block in the process (can't think of a suitable referee). Anyway, I will give localbitcoins another bash. Love LB.... hate BC!

No worries I found some extreme difficulty in first buying bitcoin myself. Just easy for certain people I suppose

if your over the driving age you could try getting a provisional driving licence and use this to setup KYC

I looked into that a while ago. My eyesight is a bit dodgy and I didn't fancy lying for a legal document in order to buy dope lol. Been having luck on Localbitcoins and coinvoucher (although the fees can be higher than most of the people here!) but thanks for the suggestion lol.

They say if you transfer funds first to simplex account the exchange rate is much better tho i never tried.
Don't think you even need an account to buy but fees are terrible.

Look up crypto vouchers no id needed for €45 max

I read someone else talking about them. Any recommendation for where to buy?

Crypto Voucher IO is the one I use to use

I'll give it a go. Thanks!

Looks a bit dodgy https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/cryptovoucher.io?stars=1

I’ve used it a few times it’s legit

Not heard of this before ,seems really easy to buy.what are the fees like, say if you bought a £100 pound crypto voucher?

Apart from the fees, there seems to be suggestion of requiring ID after payment is taken :/

i have the exact same issue as you, no ID cant create accounts at any recommended bitcoin exchange...

ive used cryptovoucher many times, i had a lot of problems with them.. but they are legit, i always had what i paid for, just problems actually paying.. and once you go over their limit you will need ID

Ive moved onto coincoupon, had no issues..used 100s of times for another site that got shut down and used it for this site 5 or 6 times, the only problem is the fees, they are shocking mate, youll end up paying atleast 10 if not cose to 20 extra in fees

bitcoin is shit in the UK, defeats the purpose of using it on this site if you need ID to buy it!!

BTC was never created with the intent to be anonymous, it is just a public p2p ledger. Stop criticizing BTC/blockchain if you don't know how it does work.
It really annoys me every time I read something like this.

The exchanges asks for ID for security purposes, if you don't have or don't want to use an ID, you have two options:

Mine your own BTC
Use some fake ID at your risk.

look into DEXs sure you'll find one that doesnt require KYC then if in uk use revolut to add funds and send to the DEX then covert to BTC then send to cold wallet like Ledger then pay thru this way its a bit of a pain but UK banks are refusing to accept payment to most CEXs

ive just sent £240btc and the fee was 80p lol i thought it was going to cost me £20 so im a happy punter

After payment is taken? Lol there's always something.

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.

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.

You can get an offline wallet and buy bitcoin from other traders on sites like paxful or localbitcoins where you have a number of ways to buy and sell.

could buy a ledger device ledger.com and buy bitcoin direct from the app after downloading it its super easy and very private

Coinbase....!

try bittylicious m8 probably the best one tbf

hi jbrootan..how you doing today mate...!!!just a quick heads up on bitcoin..I use Bittylicious virtually all the time mate..have you seen the price of them atm. £12,643.40/BTC..highest ive known them.in the 9 months ive been on here Crazy prices jbrootan .you agree???...!!!

yh gr8 mate

That's great thanks. I'm struggling to open a bitcoin account coz I've only got mobile and I've got no idea how to verify I'd, so really gutted at the moment. I want to order something!!

i have the same problem, cant open accounts as i have no passport/drivers license.. i use coincoupon, but the fees are ridiculously high..

Coinbase, bitcoin.org and Paxful. Hope that helps. :)

i use bitcoin uk,pretty fast and cheap transfer fees

Binance. So so easy then you need atomic wallet to send your bnb too and transfer it to btc works out alot cheaper if you don't send it from a wallet you have to pay the predetermined miner fee on the exchange or set your own if from a wallet

best not to send btc from binance you know these people took down many darkweb sellers best to use a cold wallet like ledger

I use ftx Pro now. Free BTC withdrawals .

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

hey how did you do this? i have no idea how to, every time i say send it says give card details..think im fucked

easiest wallet is using exchange account.
get independent online wallet at blockchain.info
most private option is an encrypted application on your computer drive. search this on your own and pick for your level of security/difficulty

Coinomi is quite nice

No wallet is faster than any other, but some make it easier to change fees. Higher fees speed up a transaction, your coinbase wallet should be able to do this.

No problem just thot it was unsafe to use coinbase wallet so i just transfer from localbitcoins wallet to coinbase wallet then here?

Having bought loads of Bitcoin back around 2012-2014 to buy all sorts on the Silk Road, and realising I'd be a millionaire many times over if I hadn't spent them on illicit substances, I decided, once I started on LB, to invest in Etherium instead.

I once exchanged 46 bitcoin for just under $500 of product..... Ouch.

Back when I started on here I was exchanging everything to ETH from the BTC, and I'm glad I did. Recently it's dropped a bit but I'm still looking at around 400% return on investment over 12 months. Nothing like what I would've had from BTC back in 2012, but slightly better ROI than BTC in 2020.

As with any crypto, it could go south at any point, but I'm holding out with my ETH for the long haul, probably until at least 2025.

As a small seller (and a tradesman classed as an essential worker)I'm lucky I don't need to rely on the income from here, so can keep it invested long term.

In my experience, best thing to do with any crypto investment is to buy it, then don't look at it until you have to. As a rule of thumb, it's only going to go up, but on a daily basis it can fluctuate so much it'll give you a heart attack if you look too often!

Who knows, hopefully my investment pays off. Only time will tell I guess.

Cheers BB

And what about LTC (Litecoin)? Id use any alternative crypto that has lower fees... cause BTC fees are a rip-off!

many of the same issues with btc:
skyrocketing values
slow network
high fees

this site compares the fees, eth is pretty bad, it has lots of defi transactions running on it.

That site is a find, thank you

just say no to high eth fees, carda-no

Bitcoin Cash is the way forward!! minimal fees, instant transfers, how BTC was supposed to be...

people get as confused as hell with the btc vs bch mainly because that's the way they bch guys like it. shame because it works great otherwise.

Yah if the BTC fees remain at relatively high levels, I can see adoption of BCH picking up quicker than people will realise

Provisional license worked with Coinbase

Hat's off to bit easy really, you've been one of the best people here for a long time.

Sweet of you, but I'll keep me hat on ;)

Thanks mate, really helpful

And don't forget she accepts tips, be a G!

help me not pay 20 for fees and charges and only buy the btc i need for purchases so i can stay clear of my own wallet and i will love you forver bit really easy :)

a profitable way to deal with this is keeping some cash in btc. the fees are bad when btc is going up, so if you are holding btc you make much more than you lose on the fees.

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

Any time dog :)

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

I am also using Coinbase but feel the fees are still too high if anyone knows of a cheaper option in the UK i think everyone would like to know. ?

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.

Try mercuryo mate easy to use

Try mercuryo mate pretty easy to use

crypto.com when you sign up to their card you the charge 0 fees

Coinjar is the cheapest I've seen lately.

dont forget to send the BTC to your desktop wallet first before spending on littlebiggy. never send direct from an exchange.

What’s the reason not to send from exchange? I have sent straight from coin corner a few times have I made a rookie mistake?

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.

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.

Im an old luddite with a below average penchant for technology. I have used a few sites but i find coinbase to have generally lower fees and typically seems to send payment faster. No sending fees if shipped to another coinbase wallet also, just a small purchase fee lower in price than bitpanda amongst others.

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.

Try mercuryo mate no wait time n easy to use

btc direct are good with a coinomi wallet

It's usually to do with network fees and the fluctuating price of btc at the time of your purchase. It's worth checking how much your underpaid by. Quite often its a very low amount like 80cents. The vendor would normally recognise this and it not been a problem. Like I said you need to check for yourself because i do that tell the vendor I'm whatever under. That's what tipjars are for :).

I always check the rates before purchasing i sent 25 dollars before fees to him which last night was just under .00044 it's 0.00047 now he had it at .0005 so slightly over payment would of occured by a few dollars

And your network fees?

Paxful adds them automatically, I’ve recently started using another one and you have to add the fee manually, caught me out had to use the tip jar lol

First time it happened with me last night with dopechef. I paid 25 dollars and just over 2 dollars for the fees on coinbase. The items where 21 dollars 4 dollars postage but somehow it's showing partially paid. He wants more money before sending. Going to see it a loss for now as he won't reply back to me absolute joke avoid incase it happens to you with the same vendor

This is the second topic you have posted being angry at me for a mistake that you made. I did not cause your payment to be underpaid. You said I won't reply but you messaged me at 5AM.. and I replied at 2PM the same day? As anyone else on this site will tell you, YOU underpaid, I literally have done nothing.

I have asked transaxe to cancel and refund your order.

I paid 25 dollars which was the amount the order was. I will screenshot off my account now and show you. No worries on the cancellation will not pay extra for nothing

And if you annoy the vendor for being impatient

I think it has something to do with the ridiculously high fees lately to transfer to a wallet

Same. pain in da asses...
I reckons it just sucks...

I use edge, they're quick and barbell any fees

Do you send to the vendor from edge? What are the transaction fees like if so, cheers

Use coinbase pro, initially it's for trading but you can buy BTC and pay transaction fee of 0.5%, send your BTC to the normal coinbase account and pay your vendor. Bit more clicks to do but will save you some buck

See was thinking about doing this but whenever I transfer via bacs to coin base it just bounces back, I've check and tried everything including 3 different bank accounts. So can only buy with credit card and getting charged by bank and coinbase for both isn't ideal!

Same happened to my brother, he was trying to add funds for days but every time it would bounce back. He closed the account created a new one and in 10min he was good to go. We still don't know what was the issue

Try p2p websites.

Is there any specific ones you recommend?

such places like localbitcoins will have vendors buying/selling bitcoins. Few sites like that around

bittylicious dot com

Used these in the past but everytime I put how much I want to send the rate charges and adds almost a tenner onto a 70 quid order.

bittylicious has been unbearable since the BTC price rise, used to be you'd only pay a couple % extra on small amounts now it's about an extra 20%+ on anything under 100quid and it never goes down - which it used to do before the price rise! I've been trying to order an eighth for over a week but refuse to pay £12 markup! doing my head in ahaha

BTC is absolute wank.

Localbitcoins, the fee is about £1.20 atm
