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.

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

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.

No photo ID. Please help!
Hi guys. I had been happily using Bittylicious last year but now I can't buy any BC without photo ID. Can anyone recommend other methods for someone who can't provide verification. I have looked at many of the methods, including localbitcoins. I'm starting to think that I will be unable to make future purchases here :(. Thanks.

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.

could try localcoinswap, it doesn't require ID & they accept many different payment methods. Honestly worth a look mate

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.
Don't think you even need an account to buy but fees are terrible.

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

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

best place to buy bitcoins? I'm in the UK
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

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???...!!!

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..

Localcoinswap is without doubt the best for anonymity, its like localbitcoins but most the vendors don't require any form of ID from you which is nice, worth having a look at

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

Wallet or direct from bitpanda
Hi all, what's the best/safest way to pay in bitcoin? Is is direct from bitpanda or should I use a wallet on my android phone?
Made my first purchase direct from bitpanda web dashboard but wondering what the advantages of having a wallet are.

If you gave your crypto exchange an identity verification then all your wallet transactions from that exchange can be linked to a human identity. The block chain ledger is public and NEVER forgets. If the correct level of authority wishes to see all your exchange activity they can see how much you bought and what wallets you sent money to.
A phone wallet is not tied to your identity without the authority discovering it on a device you own via forensic analysis.
If you're wanting to be extra safe, buy from Exchange and send on to hardware wallet. Coinomi is brilliant, check the security features.

I’m new to all this, just reading comments trying to get a handle on it all. What’s the benefit of having escrow bundled?

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

Essentials, what you got?
Long time smoker but only been on LB the last year or so. Since then, God damn I've tried some wicked strains and dare I say have became a bit of a snob. Def have been spending way more since then, but satisfied overall. Anyhow, because of this I've been slowly buying fancier accessories over time and why not. Got a Mighty and DynaVap tho am still trying to make the full transition to vaping, but not quite there. Got some sweet stash jars, hydrometer and bovedas to go in each to keep that green top notch fresh from the moment it lands. I hear mixed views on keeping a boveda if your temps are already good tho as they may damage terps. Thoughts on that? I want to get a new grinder and was interested to hear what you folks use. I'm using the plastic one that came with the Mighty and generally always have. Seems logical to get one that stacks and saves kief, as well as grinds well. Metal all the way right? Feel like I'm missing out by not getting a real good one. Any reccomendations on this, and other essentials or accessories worth mentioning that old schoolers like me should know about and might not be using to optimise things? Im kinda all in with stuff that you use on a daily basis and don't mind overspending for quality. Get a great TV if you watch it for hours daily kind of logic. Also what's the general to do with kief, use as a top up to Js etc? Not interested in edibles or making butter etc. Cheers my biggaz.

Tried to spend on a grinder but the Santa Cruz shredder gives up puffy clouds of weed perfect for vape screens.
Cheap as chips biodegradable hemp. Good for you and the planet. Two piece only so your kief stays where it belongs, in your bud.
Bugger to clean, that's the downside.

Need help localbitcoins
Hi i usually just send straight from the online wallet but im looking for a private wallet thats quick to send btc im on android i have a private coinbase wallet if that would be okay? Or is there anything else i could use id like it to be almost instant transfers so its no taking ages to go through so i can get my orders when i want them cheers

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?

ethereum anyone?

ethereum anyone?
i see lots of people talking about monero which is hard to buy and manage compared to btc.
ethereum can be bought just about everywhere btc can be bought.
ethereum can be bought just about everywhere btc can be bought.

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!

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

NAH SAME ISSUES AS BTC SO WHAT'S THE POINT. MONERO ISN'T THAT HARD TO FIND, THE BIGGEST DW SITES RUN IT AND THEY WOULDN'T HAVE GONE XMR EXCLUSIVE IF IT WAS SO DIFFICULT TO ACQUIRE. HOWEVER I UNDERSTAND THE BARRIERS TO ENTRY HERE ARE LOWER SO THAT KINDA RULES OUT MONERO UNFORTUNATELY.
REALLY AND TRULY WE NEED LITECOIN. CAN BE ACQUIRED EVERYWHERE BTC CAN, ITS CHEAP AS CHIPS TO SEND AND INTEGRATION SHOULDN'T BE TOO DIFFICULT. WOULD BE NICE IF ADMIN ADDED IT TO THE SITE BEFORE IT HITS $600+

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.

Provisional drivers license?

Provisional drivers license?
Is a provisional accepted as ID at any of these sites you guys use? I'm in the UK.
I'm really struggling to buy bitcoins without ID and paying ridiculous fees now...Coincoupon, cryptvoucher, localbitcoins, bisq, paxful, either the fees or the whole process of buying is really a pain in the arse from these places and they are the only ones I can find that dont require passport or a license...not got either!
I thought I had success with a wallet called bitpay, first transaction went through fine using simplex but I only bought 40 something pound of BTC to give it.a try, it worked once! BUT..the payment has said processing for over 24 hours in my bank transaction history (even tho ive recieved BTC and since moved it out of the bitpay wallet) and simplex wont let me buy anymore without providing ID..apparently they have a 1 transaction at a time policy...
Also somebody recommended blockchain for my situation, i created a account and their app and website just throws errors in my face, cant event load the wallet lol and no response from their support team....
Not having much luck here!

Having trouble buying? Let me help you use your card to get btc!
Lots of payment processing problems with card processing these days, it's time to recycle that plastic into bitcoin and enjoy a better experience from now on. I'll help anyone - thats what I do :)

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.

you are a legend for this, inspired me to get my first BTC wallet and theres lower fees than i was paying when using crypto vouchers and a option to purchase BTC with no ID which has been my stumbling block since finding this site.... thank you so much for guiding me youre saving me a lot of money!

I’m new and need help!!
Hi, I’m new and haven’t a clue about Bitcoin. I’ve just created a account on localbitcoin but it will only let me buy 1 but coin which is like £6000. How do I buy a smaller amount?? And do I need a wallet to keep it in?? No worries I’ve sorted it, won’t be long before I’m endulging myself ?

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

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.

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.
I use coinbase but also have a BRD account.

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.

"partially paid"
I get the partially paid status a lot on LittleBiggy. Last night I made a purchase with £76 in my Paxful account and it said the purchase was £75 but when I checked on my orders status it said partially paid. I get this on quite a few purchases. Does anyone know why this happens?

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

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 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

Happened to me a few times. i use the same deposit address for seller. and just resend the difference. your partially paid order will then come up as paid. Gaz

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

Looking for new btc exchange
Bit out of options and fed up with paying through the nose on charges. So currently using coinbase but won't let me transfer money into so I have to pay with a credit card resulting in around 8.00 fees from btc and cc provider each time I buy a q which isn't ideal.
I've used bitpanda but they asked for over a tenner fee for something around 40.00 worth.
So what do you recommend for ease of use and low fees?
I've used bitpanda but they asked for over a tenner fee for something around 40.00 worth.

yep, straight to the vendor from Edge. I think I paid about £1-2 pounds for a large transaction the other day.

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

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

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.

BTC with lower sending fees?
Hi all, Can anyone advise a reliable Bitcoin site with low sending fees please? I can only find ones that are 0.0005 to send atm which seems a mental cost! (Preferably swift from buying to sending) cheers

Had similar experience. Brand new to Bitcoin so just trying to wrap my head around it all. Paid £100 for BTC 0.00433226, they took £1.50 for privilege... fair enough. Then made a purchase on LB, had to pay more to vendor because there was a minimum fee, plus they took BTC 0.000552 as a fee to send. Ended up £55 down when originally expecting around $30 - $40

RE: is there a cheaper way?
Hi guys,
So I’m new to LB and bitcoin so sorry if I sound like an idiot.. Made a purchase for $69 (roughly £57). I completed the whole transaction through CoinCorner meaning I deposited £ money into it, bought the bitcoin and then transferred it to the vendor all through the one app. My issue is that with all the fees I ended up paying about £72 (about £15 In fees it seems). Is there something I’m doing wrong and is there a cheaper method? I’d appreciate any advice. Many thanks

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

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.

Coinbase user, never had an issue. Did have to re-submit info recently but no worse than any other banking app.

Coin base account restricted
Hello everyone
My account on coin base is: Restricted. You are currently unable to buy and sell crypto on Coinbase. Does anyone else have this?

Ive made a couple off orders on here using coin base but the fees are extreme anyone suggest better sites to use with lower fees?? that are also beginner friendly

Does blockchain still put a week long hold on btc bought from them? Stopped using it in August because of this.

Yes it is. Took 3 days to touch the BTC I bought, but I’ve ordered twice successfully using blockchain.com

I'd also like to know if its ok from bittylicious ive been using it for a while with no problems but am I gonna get in the shit eventually what is the risk of doing it this way and why would there be a problem if anyone can explain.

congratulations you have found something that does not suck at coinbase. the fees go to the computer network that runs the bitcoin blockchain, they are called miners.
when btc exchange rates goes off or when their are network issues the fees go up like a sold out event.

Today i bought with coinbase pro which cost 0.15p then transferred to my coinbase wallet for 1.15 then transferred to vendor for 4.30 so a little over a fiver from start to finish so buying from an exchange can save on fees.

We've always used Bittylicious- not had any major issues aside from a few long waits etc. Think its one of the best value too.

Advice on bitcoin wallets
Hi there, I hope everyone is having a great day. I'm totally new to bitcoin and am wondering does it matter which bit coin wallet I use? Will the vendors on LB accept any of them? Sorry if that's dumb question. There are so many to choose from I don't want to pick the wrong one!

Awesome thanks man. Just one other thing, I was reading some people buy bitcoin and send it direct to the vendor without first putting it into a wallet. Is that a good idea? If I buy it then send it to a wallet, then make a purchase am I then paying more in transaction fees? Sorry if I'm making this sound more difficult than it is!

Absolutely Never use exchange wallets for transactions! They are not ‘real’ wallets that you own, they are ‘hot wallets’ belonging to the exchange. Generally you should always store your own crypto. Mobile and desktop wallets are perfectly fine for smaller amounts provided your device is reasonably secure. But It’s definitely worth reading up on the practicalities of bitcoin so you can transact with confidence (:

Can I ask if this has been done a few times what happens as exchange just asked to disable vpn or proxy on future purchases and said sorry can't do that. As off where I am employed use proxys? Can't disabled at all unfortunately

Electrum works for our week to week to cash flow. Its a software wallet so not as good as hardware but still far more secure than an exchange wallet.
I recommend you only keep your btc in an exchange for the shortest amount of time possible. Then keep a software wallet for spending and a hardware wallet for savings/ large amounts.
Hope this helps and this is just how we do it, I'm sure lots of people have different methods too.
Best of luck

First time receiving g a refund s
Sup guys. So after nearly 30 orders I have my first no show and the seller has agreed to refund half, which is fair enough I guess. He says he's contacted transsaxe and suggests I do the same. Where the hell can I contact them from? There's an escrow suisse link in my order page which takes me to the escrow page where it says contact them privately for refunds etc. Seems the right place but they are not transaxe so a bit puzzled. The seller reccomends I contac transaxe to keep things consistent. Any help much appreciated!! Thanks.

That’s what your looking for. Send them a chat message (including your order reference)

Sup biggaz. Wonder if anyone can help. Received my refund in coinbase as mentioned above and want to put in an order using that balance. However, the balance doesn't cover the order wanna make. Am I able to place an order, partially pay with the counbase balance, then pay the remainder via say bittylicious? Coinbase is shite but I ofc wanna use the unspent balance in there. Cheers.

insufficient funds message

insufficient funds message
Using Blockchain.com
I'm trying to send funds from my "BTC Trading Wallet" (which has funds) to "My Bitcoin Wallet" (which is empty), so that I can pay seller.
I am continually getting an "Insufficient funds" message no matter the amount I put in - what am I doing wrong?
This is what I'm doing:
From the Blockchain dashboard.
Go to "Send"
Select from "BTC Trading Wallet" in the drop-down. (This has funds in it)
Go to "To"
Select "My Bitcoin Wallet" in the drop-down. (This is empty)
Enter an amount in the "Amount" box.
Immediately flagged with "insufficient funds"
It doesn't matter what amount I enter.
Any help appreciated, can't find eff all on line.

Hi mate. If you used blockchain's own crypto service to buy Bitcoin, it's an absolute ball ache. Even though everything appears to go through ok they still hold the funds for about 7 days before you can actually transfer them out of your "Trading Wallet" and into your normal wallet. It's a massive pile of wank. Next time just use a third party service live Bittylicious or something like that instead of Blockchain's own crypto market :-/

Yeah you need it in your Bitcoin Wallet not your Trading Wallet. I found it confusing at first and underpaid because I didn’t know about the mining fee. For what its worth I find C.Pay to be the easiest app to use having tried a few.

High charging fee for sending.... Try at a quiter time , cheaper fees , could have enough then

Quiter time = 12 - 1 am in the morning uk time for me ..
( when there's less traffic /action on blockchain)

Well today I got an e-mail saying funds were now accessible (a week after putting them in). I was able to transfer from one wallet to another, but now the whole lot has disappeared from either wallet. Hopefully it's just a time thing and they'll show up eventually. 24 hours later - funds appear and I can spend. There must be a better way.

Coinbase won’t clear my payment for 3 days although I’ve verified myself twice now, I’ve made 3 orders from here without any problems but now for some reason Coinbase won’t send my payment through straight away like it usually does? I’ve had to cancel two orders and apologise for being a nuisance to the vendor because I felt like I was messing them around ordering and cancelling my orders..
Am I missing something or doing something wrong??
Am I missing something or doing something wrong??

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?

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?

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

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!

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!

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

I’m having the same problem, I can handle the delay but my order here’s expired so I’m stuck. Really angry with Coinbase for doing this!

PayPal...

PayPal...
Hi! I’ve been using Coinbase with a Blockchain wallet and have more recently been using the Blockchain trading platform too. Both are great!! However I would like a way to buy bitcoin that doesn’t show up as such in my bank statements. Buying with Blockchain is better than Coinbase in this respect because it shows up as transferring money to yourself on any records, however it takes so much longer to transfer to the wallet than Coinbase. I’ve been looking for somewhere to buy bitcoin with PayPal (can pre pod my PayPal account and pay through that) but have only found E-Toro (had a bad experience and not a fan) and Paxful - unfortunately you have to buy from other users, meaning you lose a (quite large) proportion of what you buy.
Does anyone know of any other PayPal-accepting bit coin vendors/anywhere I can buy bitcoin that doesn’t show up as such on bank records?
Any help greatly appreciated :)!!

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 :)

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!

everywhere i have looked has really high ID security and anywhere that does not the exchange rates make it so you only get about 50% of your money's worth in bitcoin.
anyone who can steer me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
