Just wanted to update that my Blockchain account is working fine again and looks like it was a software issue. Just topped up and will buy a wee treat as my last order from Pistach still hasnt arrived after two weeks.

Yeah looks like the banks just target some accounts , all these banks must have invested in crypto

crypto.com and barklays work fine 14,12,22

I am reading of a work around using crypto.com and revolut. Ba*k transfer to Revolut and convert to XLM as it has minimal fees, then send from there to Crypto.com and convert to BTC. Not tried it yet but apparently works a dream. Still waiting to have my money released back to me from a blocked bin*nce transfer

Lol some Bigga will have a heart attack from reading this . No problem for me also tho . Can still purchase my Bitcoin and receive easy . And get sent over

Since I had a poor run off once with the Halifax/Lloyds anti fraud team and felt like I was questioned for just wanting to buy some BCs from Bittylicious I have dropped attempting to use my bank. Just use a pre-paid card or a mobile bank like Monzo. Revolut is very pro crypto too.

It isnt. Its the same as Paypal. All you can do is buy, sell or hold. You cannot send any crypto currency from either of these platforms in the uk

This says it was updated today 12/12:

https://www.comparebanks.co.uk/banking/crypto-friendly-banks-in-the-uk/

Do you have a source that I can read, regarding this?

I know some banks have been restricting certain transaction for several months now, but that seems to be on a case by case basis and also varies depending on the exchange and bank you use. Are you saying all banks have banned all crypto?

I found an article on FT. https://www.ft.com/content/1ac2880f-a599-45aa-ba95-694a3b94f144

Some are indeed hardening their stance but that’s not the same as saying ‘banks ban crypto’ Lloyds Group has one of the hardest stances and no plastic will be accepted, but I can still just transfer, no problem.🤷‍♂️

I've used my Lloyds card for years buying bitcoin. No problems whatsoever. I only do one purchase a month though.

Wankers🙄…first time they blocked my card I ripped them a new one and they said they had cleared it. Next time it blocked they insisted it was Visa and not the bank and there was nothing they could do. Later they even blocked my transfer and it took two long conversations with the Fraud Dept, to get it cleared. I’ve been a Lloyds customer since God was a boy…
Such fun!

I use lloyds also, never ran into problems yet luckily.

When you say you can just transfer may be a stupid question but wym? I usually just use coinbase, buy bitcoin with my card then send it to my exodus from coinbase.

how would the process differ? I've heard the paypal route also which would be my first go too.(using paypal to buy bitcoin instead)

some knowledge would be helpful if you don't mind polly! hearing too much of this shit now

Hey benjwby,

I just send ££ to my Bitpanda account, buy btc when I need some and send it here when I make purchases. All done in seconds…but I’ve had a few arguments with Lloyds when they stopped allowing credit or debit card payments, but transfers are instantaneous so 🤷‍♂️

yeah pretty much same way I do then apart from I use coinbase, must've just got it twisted.

oh no i see now you dont buy btc with bitpanda but send £ to it then buy the btc, i see how that would avoid cards now lmao

got there in the end.. a brilliant idea that should of been obvious

and damn, Lloyds would have a hard time getting hold of me anyways haha, I barely answer random numbers. Had no emails ect. and hope i don't lmao.

thanks for always helping polly

Cant send btc from paypal or revolut. Buy, sell or hold is all you can do. Until the end of Nov I could buy with my card via Coinbase, but CB have ripped me off and my bank stopped card transactions with crypto as of Dec 1st (Virgin Money). This method of purchase has been a laborious pain in the arse from the off but its getting ridiculous now. All I want to do is buy my medicine

oh man.. doesn't sound good:(, end of nov was when i last purchased too..

let's hope for the best..

Not looking good for next year no. Not for buying with Crypto anyway, which is fine as I've zero interest in it other than buying smoke. Something has to give somewhere. I'm hoping legit sites like this and their legalities will change

Go on Lloyds all the way !

I am actually considering it tbh!

Do it they are fair and straight forward to somebody who used to be with Halifax bit of a piss take waiting for my wages during night at desperate times lol Lloyds I hear was faster process so since then stuck with Lloyds. Just a guess but don't suppose you maybe have an email saying you just need some identification sent to your ideal crypto machine? I had to send some I'd to continue purchasing couple months back if I didn't do this I could not purchase . Just check any emails in case you have this or any of you check to see if an email saying just need some I'd to confirm who you are . I was confused for a while until I seen the email.

lloyds are fire, had no problems ain't nosy cunts at all

No I'm verified and thats not the issue. Thanks though. Just the banks I'm with I'm afraid. Each transfer has been returned

Its no use saying you can still transfer with a shrug. Good for you. But if this isnt paid attention to then no one is buying or selling anything on any crypto based market anywhere. Lloyds group has anything but the hardest stance. As it appears, Santander has clamped down completely, with Virgin not far behind....

I just sent a couple of quid to coinbase to check this went through fine with Santander they clamped ages ago you need to delete the app and go through the main website for whatever reason this works give it a go. This thread is going to worry people unnecessarily i know it’s not the intention but this is not crypto doomsday where there’s a will there’s always a way no need for anyone to panic

That may have worked for you but as ive stated already, all three of my banks have banned any and all crypto transactions. Coinbase ripped me off 300 dollars too which I'm still trying to chase up. Crypto is a disaster and the powers behind it need regulating or it will forever be an unstable and complicated risk. It's not about panic it's about reality, and its going to get worse. I'm not here to argue so it's cool, just conversation about this issue, as it is a valid one that no one seems to bothered about. All I'm getting is "well it worked for me" which is all very well, but it's going to get much harder next year. If you did that type of transaction from Santander then well done, you won't be able to next year. That's just a fact I'm afraid

I was only suggesting it incase you hadn’t tried it A lot of people just use the app. Not here to argue either just trying to help and point out there will be ways round it. Other people have given you good options to try also new bank accounts you could open etc. No harm having a convo just thought the title was a litle dramatic that’s all. Anyway hope you get it sorted ✌️

Thankyou. Aye I wish I'd worded it slightly different. Banks banning crypto perhaps. Seems to be a bit of pot luck really. From what I read between here and Reddit lots of people are having issues, but many with the same banks having no issues at all. But aye. It seems chucking your money through a few more hoops between accounts in different entities is the way to go

Well very good you can Polly and thats great. Not all of us are with your bank though and its causing some of us major problems. As it seems LLoyds/Tsb are one of the only banks to still allow this, they will have to tow the line with the FCA next year same as everyone else. So again, where does this leave us?

Well you can read that link I sent you at the top of the page showing all the banks etc you can use…good place to start?🤷‍♂️

Doing a Chicken Little impression on here isn’t going to solve anything….just sayin’…

There are other clear web cannabis sites that use non crypto payments- maybe in time LB will have to follow?

Chicken little? Steady on. I suffer from severe anxiety and this is my medicine which is becoming increasingly harder to get. I read your misleading article yes, but am I about to change my entire banking system to buy my medicine here? Methinks nay. There's no need to be insulting. I havent had medicine for three days and I feel like shit. I'm perfectly entitled to my frustrations thanks

I don’t quite know what answer you are looking for?

There are still various ways to buy crypto and spend it here. How else can we help?

As my original question was, and with more and more baks becoming hostile to crypto, I was hoping for a sensible conversation on secure alternatives, which is why I asked where does this leave us? Meaning could LB go the legitimate payment way? Honestly, the vendor I use has some of the best hash I've ever come across, and I'm a veteran of 30 years! I'd be gutted to not give him my business, which I am trying to do today. Like I say, I've tried with three different ba*ks to ban transfer to Bina*ce today with all being returned. So, I'm glad it all works so smoothly for you. Alas this is not my experience so I'm just trying to discuss alternatives

If you want to effect change on LB you can always start an initiative:

I’m thinking it will be quicker to open a crypto friendly bank account personally but that’s up to you.

I’m sure other Biggas will share their methods.

Good luck👍

Santander and Virgin Money are big ones. Apparently Lloyd's Tsb are about the only ones not to have gone for it, but they will. Santander banning all crypto activity as of next year

I’m with Lloyds. Every time I try and buy the blue buy button doesn't work. I just keep pressing it. I’m just buying small amounts so it shouldnt be an issue. Maybe it is a software glitch.

I cant buy crypto on Blockchain anymore.

No me neither. I've also lost 300 dollars to Coinbase, who denied me having any balance, despite me sensing screenshot of the balance in the app

What happened?

😂😂, just you mate,👍

I'm clearly not your mate Drippy

gotta go with bob

Jesus that guy must of been on some good shit

surely a deep kush bigga

Jesus would be a good call, if he could do that thing with the wine then think of the stash!😵‍💫🥰

I have nothing to back up this up because I haven’t looked but a yoga teacher once told me that Jesus smoked weed and did yoga… a lot!

My thoughts exactly polllypuff! Would be in heaven 😉😵‍💫🥰

That’s if he is real ?

Now I’m not saying he is or isn’t and a firm believer that you do what you want as long as you don’t impose your beliefs what ever they may be on me.


but I just find it wired how in the Middle East that Jesus had mates called Mathew, Mark, luke and John ?????

I have no doubt that Jesus was a real person and have read a number of good books on the subject. My favourite is ‘Holy Blood & The Holy Grail’ which examines the theory that Jesus was actually high born, had a real if tenuous claim to be King of the Jews and that this together with his non stop preaching is what pissed the Romans off. He actually married Mary Magdelane at the wedding at Cana (as a lowly carpenter’s son he would not have been invited to what was a society wedding) and because the Romans wanted rid of him his followers negotiated with Pontius to ‘disappear’ him rather than see him imprisoned and they did rather a good job of this! They cut him from the cross, hid him a got him out of there in what would become to be known as the ‘resurrection’.
He died not long after in Europe, but Magdelane was pregnant and there became a huge mission to protect his bloodline. The holy grail was in fact a symbol for her womb. She bore his child and died in France. The knights Templar have protected the bloodline and it’s believed his descendants are alive today.
Nice! 🥰🥰

Every day is a school day

I do like to keep an open mind😂👍

Jesus was irrefutable as a real living person, Christians believe he was the son of God. Thats what their faith boils down to, you believe he could perform miracles or you dont, however Christ existed as a mortal being. Whether he rose from the dead etc is where faith derives, you believe or you dont.

Inglis83 that’s your prerogative and that’s my whole point wherever I agree or disagree is irrelevant to anyones opinion.

Just be happy 😃

I think my point is I’ll smoke with most people regardless of race religion fucking anything.

As long as they are a good person

Me to man ✌️💨 honestly didn’t pick Jesus to spark a debate just thought why not he’s caused a pretty big stir real or not 😂

Lol 😂 that’s the best bits of this community

I'm 50/50 on whether that last point was tongue in cheek, but just in case it wasn't, the names of the Apostles are Anglicised from Aramaic (via Hebrew and Greek).

Hey dude.. I mean Jesus is a historical figure not just religious so as real as Henry the 8th or Julius Caesar.

Who knows what names they had in the Middle East thousands of years ago. The bible could be a fairy tale but there is a lot of evidence to suggest Jesus was a real person

That being said I think a lot of history is bolox so who knows really but it’s as good an answer as any not sure why your picking on me 😂

I’m spiritual but not Christian or religious so not imposing any beliefs on anyone

Bevbevan1 that’s my point.

Anyone can and will believe what they want because that’s up to them. Wherever that be Christian, Muslim, Jedi or spiritual fair play. As long as your happy 😆 that’s the main thing.

Hope your good man

I agree I just thought Jesus was a funny answer and if I met him then I would get to find out some secrets 😉

People be free to believe what they want it dosnt bother me 😊

Im all good buddy how are you?

It was man.

The people's front of judea

Brilliant since I’ve had post lol 😂

Rodney Dangerfield or Norm MacDonald. Could either be funny as shit or real deep or both, probably.

you'd want different strains with these two :)

I'd try Hitler see if we could have redirected some of that brain off the war-monger amphetamines ... need to be a strain that makes one giggly and munchied up...feed that fecker matza and latkas until he passed out in tryptophanic bliss...

Then cut his remaining ball off! 🤭

Aye but to distract him give him the blunt and put the lighter on full to burn that fucking mustachio

I’d love to have a smoke with bob Marley if he was still with us, and I would also love to try and out smoke snoop dogg haha

Snoop for me too. Everyone who has had the pleasure of smoking with him has a funny story. I’m not the biggest Kat Williams fan but his story is my favourite.

Peter sellers always stoned by all accounts. The man was a Genius.

Nikola Tesla - Would love to bring his ideas to the current stage of tech giving humanity freedom and the world a much needed break from our destructive manors.

Richard Feynman

Mike Tyson, he's hilarious lool

Bill Hicks legend and right about everything

RIP 🥲

I know this is not a very popular idea. You don't hear it too often any more … but it's the truth. I have taken drugs before and … I had a real good time. Sorry. Didn't murder anybody, didn't rape anybody, didn't rob anybody, didn't beat anybody, didn't lose – hmm – one fucking job, laughed my ass off, and went about my day. Sorry. Now, where's my commercial?

Hey! I’m a Christian and I don’t like what you said…

Forgive me then. Is that not what your faith teaches ? Forgive others ?

Genius work from a genius mind.

I used to walk about on Hampstead Heath at night sometimes, not because I am gay, but because I hoped to bump into George Michael cruising so that I could have a spliff with him.

What a wonderful man he was.

Pol Pot, brining pot to Pot.

Id probably have to smoke one with the inventor of scales.. 🤣😂

Just to tell them how greatly they impacted the world 🤣

I wouldve said the inventor of the cannabis plant but lets not get blasphemic on this matter 😂🤣

Neither are sensemilla;)

Sensi is short for Cannabis sinsemilla (Spanish pronunciation: [sinseˈmiʝa]) also known as sensimilla, sinse or sensi (can be translated into English as seedless cannabis) is the female Cannabis plant that has not been fertilized and therefore does not develop seeds, increasing the density of cannabinoids and terpenes.

So it’s you who has been ‘at it’. ;)

Spanish/English translation
Sin = without
Semilla = Seed
Sinsemilla = without seed

The word 'sinsemilla' is Mexican Spanish meaning literally 'without seed' and was originally used to describe a strain from Oaxaca, Mexico later adopted into Jamaican patois to describe their high strength domestic weed, incorrectly shortened to "sensi'. The weed shown in the picture is Laotian weed pressed into 100g bars - it is mostly seedless but cannot correctly be described as 'sensi' either from a literal perspective or a traditional one.

Free special Gauranteed NDD by 1pm but Saturday about 90% land. JJ & DGT

Other 10% get delivered on a Monday . JJ & DGT

Ah got you. I thought they might go missing lol. That's music to my ears. May I ask what JJ or DGT is?

JJ my old username and DGT DrGreenThumb. jj & dgt

Sorry man. Realised the DGT straight after I sent lol. Thanks for clarifiying

What happens to the other 10%? I'm considering using a tracked service for shrooms but it seems like a really easy way to get caught.

I think during the current times, you have to take any NDD with RM with a pinch of salt. 2 days isn't bad.

It's not the fact it's a day or two wait, it's the fact it wasn't despatched nor was I notified until it was too late. I could have purchased elsewhere but they dragged out replying all day until I had no time to re order from another vendor. Should have stuck with DIUK like usual.

Yes DIUK are the OG's for sure, we are just launching a new option for in and around strike days.

Oh I see!!! Understand now 👍

I buy an Oz for myself a month, I don't have enough spare income to throw away $500+ a month on re-ordering because I've been let down, so now I'm out of pocket and product until a refund is made, If that's even possible. I'm not after sympathy, I'm just explaining my personal circumstances so you can try to see why I'm a bit irritated..

Yep, with you. Caught up lol

Man - I feel you big time - such a head fuck!

NDD, (special delivery + 1pm guarantee tracked) and tracking given same day always :) Also great variety and prices and 2pm cut off time for same day dispatch !

Do Friday special delivery NDD.
And send tracking information so you can track it too👍

Canadian imports do free ndd

Its well worth mentioning to that if I order with Canadian imports at around 11am they post it the same day and Mr Postman comes my way at 9am the next morning :) I've noticed a few other vendors with NDD don't usually post it the same day the order is made.

https://littlebiggy.org/link/XDqFSJ

If youre getting NDD and it comes with tracking why shouldnt the buyer know when the parcel is inbound. We always send tracking with NDD and as it should be. Buyers would be willing to pay for that service but for ease of transaction we feel like its best to provide it for free.. after all, vendors should be making profit anyways.

JUST WEED provides free ndd with tracking details on all orders. Impressed me.

Check us out when suits you bro.
We offer NDD on fridays for Saturday. 🙌

So now no replies at all, no refund, seems a bit shit from a vendor I believed to be reliable in the past.

Try us out man, you won’t be disappointed 👌🏽

How am I supposed to try you out when PISTACH has my monthly budget that they're not refunding all tucked away in their profits?

Funds don’t get released to vendors for 16 days so it’s with escrow. I agree that bad comms is totally frustrating.🤬
The Dispute button appears on your order page after 9 days, so dispute and get your coin returned. Doesn’t help you right now, I get that.
If I was you I would split that monthly order into bi-monthly halves and if you are going to place it regularly with the same one or two vendors request a custom order with a reasonable discount…might work👍🤞

Thankyou for the advice Polly. If a reliable vendor would be willing to do that I'd probably use them Exclusively, I'm loyal when looked after!

Cool👍
As an example, have you looked at Canadian Imports menu? They include free NDD on all orders and are great people to chat to so I’m sure they would be happy to discuss your needs & desires!
Good luck🤞

I've taken your advice, Spoke to Canadian Imports, who was extremely helpful and accommodating. And have now placed an order with them.

Nice! 👍
