What's wrong with Bitty? As good as any other platform as far as I'm aware.

I use kraken personally bud. Easy to use quick transfers minimal fees

these guys arent terrible

The escrow system is fine and protects us all. Convince me otherwise.

If you want to forgo your rights and give them to a vendor then I suppose that's your right, but it doesn't seem sensible to me until everything is received and resolved.

If the buyer has received the product and chooses to close the transaction. Holding the coin beyond that protects nobody.

Yeah, fair. However we have repeated scenarios where the vendor convinces the buyer to close something, then screws them. There needs to be sufficient protection on both sides. Maybe education is needed, plus release of coin to the vendor when a review is placed, or a maximum timeframe is reached as the default?

glad you were able to see where I'm coming from sorry if I can through as argumentive lol just trying to get more rights for the vendors on here because I feel for them, some of the stuff they have to deal with is ridiculous.

There could be a pop up page with warnings and another confirm button, when funds are being released with escrow. But yep THC said what I was tryna say in a better way, thank you

Hi friend we tried to reply to you DM but biggy doesn’t allow?

Ha, that's basically what I've just cross-posted. Apologies, maybe you do buy lots of drugs too!

No drama brother just a open debate I see everybody's point don't know what message came in what order anymore

Have a good rest of your day 💚✌️

It won't be good man, I have to do the Christmas food shopping today! I'm not sure if 2 joints beforehand is cushioning me, or setting me up for disaster... I'll find out soon enough!

Escrow release Is where I can choose to release the the funds instantly to the vendor or not - I'm not fussed with any of the people whom I do business with here they got kilos there not going to scam me over an zip and if they do fuckin hilarious for trying with the implementations in place if we've dealt beforehand & it doesn't take more than 30 seconds of looking at the product to see if it's decent man 9 times out of 10
-
Most DNMs have it I don't know why littlebiggy doesn't & there should be a bigger push for PGP encryption

"there not going to scam me over an zip"

Yeah. Yeah, they are, and some do. Escrow is for the buyers. It's protection incase they get fucked over. Why would a buyer need an instant release button? Vendor sure, but it's Biggy, not the other DNMs.

'Oh, sweet summer child' would be my response to this. I'd be paying 10-20% less on other platforms if people were completely trustworthy, but the name of the game is that people can flip at any time. This gives almost complete protection from that.

Its just business man, never been scammed for the plant in my life

I see both your points but I also don't, release the funds early if the product is in your hand it's no different than a exchange in the street - don't feel comfortable to release funds with that vendor that's fine not like they should be able to pressure you too.

But ultimately, the vendor still gets paid. The customer still gets their product, and the world keeps spinning. No real need to change the format, it's worked for a decade on Biggy.

I bet there is a good few vendors on here who have to get there re when stock is running low but there is probably just a few grand sat in their LB wallet they can't cash out yet its coming out there pocket in advance.

No point holding useless coin for a payment where both ends are happy, it takes you 1 button if you released escrow and you didn't like it then that's on you I guess 🤷‍♀️

Take it easy 💚

I get where you're coming from, but if you've been here any amount of time, you'll have seen half the numpties that cancel disputes before their issues been resolved all the damn time. I can guarantee you those same numpties will release the funds on ordering, only to be hit with an issue, and be stuck without any comeback. I'd be all for reducing escrow by half, so it's only 2 weeks, cos short of 1-2 vendors, nothing should take that long to arrive.

Thank you man, to be honest as you can see by profile I'm not very sociable on littlebiggy but thought I'd getting chatting to a few biggaz - I've seen a few chromotoasts here though and if I was the vendor/s I wouldn't want them as my customer, put the money aside peace and sanity is more worth it - Kind of why I think vendors should have more rights or at least a tier list/reputation system us customers on here are externally gifted...and it's taken for granted for sure people treat it like it's Amazon while it pretty much already is.

They wouldn't like full PGP communication if they can't wait for the postman 🤣 Remember people always restock before you run out and no more headache 😎💚

Ive only had one package turn up later than a week and it was lockdown didn't get it til like a week into January or something silly even though it was posted before Christmas cut off good old royal mail shenanigans

Oh and has royal mail been great for me recently or everyone else too ??

Biggest concern really, is the absolute space cadets that send their funds to the wrong wallet. Again, these turnips are stoners, who make stupid mistakes, and thanks to transaxe and it's escrow, the fuck ups aren't too hard to rectify. Thing is, there's nothing stopping vendors using both Biggy and the other DNMs.

I know and to be honest for UK2UK no marketplace can compete with littlebiggy, I've only seen 2 or 3 vendors from here lingering around but they don't have the greatest feedback here..

Biggaz are lucky for escrow and the fact that LB lets them even recover the funds even if gone to a wrong address personally I've never done it (fingers crossed never) but I'm pretty sure most other markets will call it your fault and leave it at that shout-out to the Borg's on that one, I'm also quite surprised these people passed the basic crypto quiz when your registrar an account on a exchange but I get it accidents happen we are all stoners and we live and learn

Oh and for the love of god Borg's please use something like https://njal.la/about/ for your domain registrar it's from the co-founder of the pirate bay and he does not like communicating with the police lol even did time in prison due to his domain registrar back in the day.

"We can register with our own data. We will be the actual registrant of the domain -- it's not an ownership by proxy as found with all other providers" I have used them before with 10,000s+ abuse reports and they didn't take any action lol

I agree with there server host though they are pretty bulletproof.

I feel like everyone has had enough of my ranting anyways :) Littlebiggy is amazing almost perfect it just needs a final lick of paint - hopefully we will hear something from the Borg's one day I've been hearing there gonna add LTC for the past 2 years 🤣

Peace ✌️

You don't sound like a regular buyer of drugs with this attitude, franky. Never been scammed?! Yeah, right.

However, if the product is in hand and people want to close the transaction then make that an option, but with a disclaimer when they click on it.

I spend over 1k a month on drugs man can send you my Blockchain explorer if you want? And that's just BTC, But it's also not a competition nor am I proud of the fact - Yeah I've been sold some crap or underweighed like everyone else but for the buck I would of paid I wouldn't called it scammed I like to see it as the true colours have shined but in person I try read the room.

I smoke weed to meditate and the love of the plant

Sounds like we're comparable in expenditure, but not experience, somehow.

Good luck with your endeavour!

My first ever plug who I got off had kgs of smoke and it was a mental world to 14-15 year old me thought I was sat next to Pablo Escobar - He is friends with my older brother so not like I got exploited or anything just didn't know how to manage my ADHD very well at a young age (undiagnosed for so long), so smoking is the only thing that helped

I'm lucky enough to source some fire locally and on littlebiggy but I like a pallet and no hashish around here nearest Devon ways and prices high

He taught me to grow weed, give me seeds, always trying to learn more about the plant and even has a kid now.

He would tick me £1000s if I wanted too & thats when I reliased it's all the chavys peddling off the shit drugs and trying to rob everyone for him it was just 'business' he would put his own money out of pocket

💚✌️

I had a very similar setup with my old local supplier. He used to come out clubbing with us when we were late teens and he was early 50s. Legend, but I'm pretty sure £1k on tick would be a hard no.

Hopefully I'll still be going at that age! 🤣

He actually told me that he was so concerned for his health that he went outside when he thought he was having a heart attack; rationale being that someone would see him if he wasn't dying... Absolute legend. Hope he's still with us

Shout out to all the old skool ravers😎 and I just remembered the reason I made this post is because I have tipped a few people tip jar for making LB what it is, if you have any favourite vendors with one open please buy them a coffee people 🙏

Don't release the funds until you've got what you want in hand anyways that was the idea infact it actually doesn't benefit us at all as buyers than maybe quicker stock rotations lol however if I go pickup smoke in person and I agree on 150 and I've got the cash but tell they can't wait because I might of been scammed, now think about some of the people on LB doing it proper and now they gotta wait now for a month I believe it is.. it's just being nice

I've only ever had to charge back once on here and I knew he was a dodgy cunt anyways he got banned and i got 0 percent dispute rate now he's sat at the top of that crappy ***** bot, I try stay away from the chavys cause then sure they will try rob me for a zip but with the way the walk, talk and cat they aren't too hard to miss, usually speaks for itself.

I've landed 100+ packages from LB + other means I've been on here since 21, it's ahead and behind in many aspects, I do understand the escrow system it's a fundamental basic for marketplace transactions it has been for a long time.

You still at the same address?

He gives me hope that the revolution is unstoppable, that an exit from a corrupted society is not only possible but inevitable.

In the meantime we have LB :)

Yes it's not even the amount of money they have it's that they define it, that's implies ultimate ownership of all of it.

super inspiring wish more people would see how they are played by the system.

All of his lectures are great. I'd recommend the podcasts over the video, they look like a spycam.

Spot on

The evil that is fiat money has only put a roof over my head, given me an education, bought my car, yearly holidays, food, clothes, medication, healthcare, books, games, TVs, drink, drugs, guitars, computers, phones, tablets and countless other goods and services that have brought pleasure, entertainment and increased my living standard over the years. Those who control fiat money are evil. The bastards. I feel like a twat now for been so gullible.

i've been looking for a good roofer, does he take bitcoin

i would have though it was your labour that earned that rather than a central bank.

Yes of course and like a complete idiot I exchanged that labour for central bank issued fiat money that I thought was giving me freedom to satisfy my needs, wants and desires and have a wonderful fulfilling life. What a fool I have been.

I hear ya dog, like an even bigger idiot i learned about bitcoin years ago (from here as a matter of fact) but kept my money in fiat :(

sure, pre 2020 :)

At least with multiple currencies we still have the power to choose, isn't that what freedom is?

Inspirational stuff. Also a great one for sharing offsite and making use of your reference token while you're at it.

Andres is a a legend! Love hearing him speak, so much knowledge to share

There's currently a viral post going around showing a photo in a pizza hut window saying 'credit cards only' and then some crap saying how people will lose control of their assets if we move away from money lol.

It doesn't matter if it's cards, bank deposits or even cash in hand. It's all under the control of a central government that's why it's called "fiat". It can be seized, de-valued, or bankrupted. Given enough time that's exactly what has happened to *every* fiat currency in history.

except the ones in existence today

thats what Sie said

Give it time

i like btc.com

I believe that BTC price is determined by an alcoholic garden fairy, named Phil. He takes his most recent Pacman score (he plays nearly everyday) divides it by the middle two digits of a random phone book entry, then multiplies it by the number of things he can see that begin with the letter 'F'. That, to the power of 3 and dived by Pi, is the current value of BitCoin.

Haha, you write really well. Reminds me of Douglas Adams.

Kudos.

I've posted this before on here but when the Silk Road was a thing (around 2014), I bought 46 bitcoin for $9 each. Spent them all on drugs.

Didn't save any.

Apparently you live and learn but that was a hell of a pill to swallow when they went to $10,000 a piece!

Oh well. Fuckabix.

Cheers BB

Feel your pain here but. I've bought copious amounts of bitcoin at £9, £12, £18 in bigger quantities and did exactly what I intended to use them for, buying weed ha. Which was incredible at the time. No regrets, we weren't to know. It was a lot of new scarily complicated information at the time and a lot to figure out. I'd try spend mine as quick as possible as overnight they were way less or sometimes way more, this use to baffle and scare me ha

oh that bigga

Brilliant 🤣🤣

Wrong you forgot to multiply by infinity at the end.

Pretty much all coins vary in value like stocks do. There is finite supply of coins based on mining, which is using processor power to solve pieces of the block chain which gets more difficult as it progresses. However no matter the amount of coins that are availible if they are not wanted then the price goes down.

Often times certain events influance the demand for the currancy. The reason it went down this time was due to a Coinbase announcement that they where not going to be allowing BCH trades for a specific period after the hard fork that happened just recently. A big BTC holder sokd off a shiload of coin which started it to drop and of course others started following suit and sold off their coin as well. There are also things like market corrections, people pulling out to invest in stock or alt coins and a bunch of other random shit. Some of which is predictable and others very much not so.

Hope that kinda sumarizes things.

Shouldn't that coinbase announcement help BTC as it's a substitute for BCH?

The cryto world is even more fickle then the actual stock market. CoinBase is one of the biggest market places / sellers of crypto so it put a lot of people on edge. Been downward a lot since then.

Supply and demand. Not being short here but every price comes down to that.

OK what determines supply and demand?

Supply is limited by mining difficulty so it's always growing at a slower rate. Basically coins are getting harder and harder to mine.

So the bitcoin value should be increasing not decreasing?

How many people want to buy vs sell!
It's the same as the stock market it's customer sentiment.

I noticed my wallet went down a couple days ago, the pound happened to drop at the same time, is this just purely coincidental?

You also have the halving coming up, which will further reduce supply, unlike quantative easing from fiat currency.

It's an indicator of techno optimism and government pessimism.

ha that's great but it's science fiction.

You only have to imagine Trump with the keys to the money supply.

Another prophecy boys and girls, bitcoin went up :)

I recommend Bittylicious, their fees sometimes are a bit higher than other exchanges, but their service is fast and easy to use

Hi xs8 totally agree 👍 ive used bittylicious the day i first ordered off here. Over 5 years. 😉👍

I agree with this comment

We figured that either local vendors or https://cryptovoucher.io/ aswell as kraken.to seem to be the best(since no ID is needed for purchasing), but local purchase is the most anonymous. Depends on what kind of transaction you are searching for. Some people genuinely like to buy their crypto via coinbase, opposed to other transaction service providers, your funds are handled/held by them till you withdraw them. Cryptovoucher in example lets you buy the btc and sends it to the given wallet adress, which can in fact make transactions cheaper, a bit faster aswell as more anonymous. What kind of Crypto vendors do yall use and why? would be really interested to know what and how you all are getting your hands on and use crypto.

Kraken needs ID bro

Any vendor worth there salt is not going to tell a little upstart like you bugger all..

Who's to say you ain't fishing?

That's fed talk

Do you mean kucoin as they don't request for an ID? Kraken does tho. I use coinbase to purchase here (once I set it up it's worked without fail so why change) Kraken to buy crypto (most secure platform and they actually have customer support), kucoin to buy smaller cap cryptos as they have a long list of them.

ZenGo!! Very good

Coinbase is better though

paybis

Second this, had to upload my ID today….. feels very insecure lol 😂

Coinbase Pro is what I use. So easy via the app. There’s a transaction fee charged to transfer BTC, guess they need to make their money.

Ones I use the most are bittrex, Binance And Coinbase. Also worth doing some research on uniswap (decentralised exchange).

Binance: Binance is one of the largest and most popular cryptocurrency exchanges worldwide. It offers a wide range of cryptocurrencies for trading and has various trading features and services.

Coinbase: Coinbase is a prominent cryptocurrency exchange that is known for its user-friendly interface and accessibility. It supports a selection of major cryptocurrencies and provides a secure platform for buying, selling, and storing digital assets.

Kraken: Kraken is a reputable cryptocurrency exchange that caters to both individual traders and institutions. It offers advanced trading options, a variety of cryptocurrencies, and robust security measures.

Bitfinex: Bitfinex is a cryptocurrency exchange known for its advanced trading features and liquidity. It supports a broad range of cryptocurrencies and offers margin trading options for experienced traders.

Huobi Global: Huobi Global is a well-established cryptocurrency exchange that serves users from around the world. It provides a diverse range of cryptocurrencies for trading, including popular options and emerging tokens.

I’ve been using Luno since I joined here because I was told it was the safest. The transaction fees recently have been insane, like £22-25 a pop. They keep telling me the charges are dynamic or whatever but don’t actually say why they’re so high this month. Considering changing so any advice would be awesome, I have no clue about Crypto etc.

after Binnace I started using Kucoin, flat 0.00005 withdraw charge for all unverified users. always fast always reliable

Coinbase, but transfer to a separate wallet. Coinbase have closed a load of accounts recently

Have always used Localbitcoins (almost 15 years). If you shop about the offers you can get coin without id checks from the sellers. The site makes you provide details initially though.

Coinbase......!Wirex....

I've used Paybis so far. Can be a bit slow but otherwise had no problems.

Hey guys I got mine coinbase account no problem, but my mate tried to open account and its under review for past 4 days. Tried biliticous and got lost. I'm the older generation and really stragle to open account for him. We are totally useless, when it comes to computer's, Please can anyone recommend easy bitcoin exchange ? So my mate can start buying here? Thanks for help

Bitpanda is very easy to use. Fees can be quiet high to be honest but i buy my coin there, send it to my Exodus wallet and then send to vendor from there.

Coinbase for me.

Whitebit i use

I use Kraken to buy initially, transfer to Exodus then out to LB from there. Coinbase aren't great and have been known to close accounts for the hell of it (mine included). My current method saves money and a lot of time compared to coinbase. I'd suggest trading elsewhere.

Just downloaded Kraken I’ll give that ago, I ended up just exchanging and sending through revolut (higher prices) but coinbase has left a bitter taste in my mouth they also manage to vanish another wallet that had a little crypto (not loads but enough to top up orders).

I remember being issues with exodus is this all sorted now?.

I've not had any issues since swapping (maybe 4 months ago). As I said, the transfers to LB are a lot quicker and cheaper so all good.

Well there you go. If you have a mycelium account on your iPhone, find a friend who has a Samsung phone and access to android apps.

Download the mycelium wallet app and access your account on the android app. Download a kraken wallet on on the iPhone and send the funds from the Samsung mycelium to the kraken account on the iPhone.

I hope this helps someone in the same predicament.

Jimmy

Since when?

I have used the mycelium app for months now, no issues sending or receiving on my end.


Last used 2 months ago and have $20 in bitcoin in my wallet, so won't be the end of the world if true.

Don't see any mention online apart from this post, unless I'm not looking hard enough?

Thanks for your reply weed fox. No matter what BTC address I put into the send bar, the app never recognises the address and thus not letting me send it anywhere.

Please help 🤣

Mycelium is old wallet.. you can only send to btc wallets starting with 1 or 3.. if your using iPhone..

I think if you use android you can send to any wallets

Thanks man! I appreciate it!

Do I need a wallet to get butcoins at a atm ? What bitcoins sites dies without ID help needed

I can send you my wallet address and you can try and send all your bitcoin to me!

Honestly man I'm not that knowledgeable on the whole thing myself. I use the QR code from the lb payment page and that sets the amount and the address automatically for me. I then set the gas fee myself.

It was mid March last time I sent anything, so maybe the issue is new? Hope you get it sorted Jimmy 🤞🏻

Very good idea. Its confusing for newbies! <3

Once I have my coins how do I send them?

If you have your coins they are in a bitcoin wallet (like blockchain.info's) or an exchange account (like coinbase). Either way you will see a button for "send bitcoins" click on it and it asks for an address.

When you buy an item on little biggy you get a bitcoin address to pay for it. You get the address when you click on the "pay now" button. Just copy and paste it and you're done. You usually see confirmation in a minute.

Relax and remember if you have any problem there is no way to "lose" bitcoins, the record of where the coins went is public. There is no " I sent the check in the mail "nor " I never got your payment.
