strongly agree an alternative is key.. ive taken the hit during the last month but definitely can't continue doing so.

For. Network fees are crazy high. Took the hit on one order but this week the fee has doubled so had to leave current order. It means the end of the green road to LB for me:( 21/11/23
Continue the conversation, everyone, and endeavor to bring about substantial changes. Maintain the momentum and actively contribute to making impactful adjustments. GAW
For. It would be great if LB could implement a crypto payment method with low volatility and consistently low network fees.

The more choice the better even when BTC calms down,not sure how feasible/easy this it to do, I sure don't know how, but hopefully something can get done.

These btc network fees are ridiculous atm, there needs to be a change and an alternative payment system implemented even when btc calms down. I feel like the fees may price out a lot of people from LB and would force people to look for alternatives. Really hope this gets sorted soon as I love LB but I won’t be able to continue using if the fees remain this high. 21/11/23 18:05

Simply won't be able to justify the expense if something doesn't change. Will have to find an alternative, which I'd be gutted to have to do to be honest.

Think we are all on the same boat, I did check the fees at around 2am this morning 23/11 an the fees was down to just over £7 now it’s nearly 2pm same day an the fees gone back up to just over £9, just a waiting game and time of day seems to make a slight difference 💚

Is it hard to add another option like litecoin or whatever? Seems like an obvious thing to do but I don't know how it all works for littlebiggy admin... anyone shed any light on why this isn't already an option? is it laziness or some kind of obstacle... or is there a counter incentive... anyone know?

FOR. 22/11/23. I’ve really had enough of paying high fees when there is simply no need for it! LB is just becoming too expensive especially as the pound is dropping against the dollar as well!! Bring in a new coin and change to ££ sterling!! Wake up LB it’s ridiculous!!

Yesterday, I encountered a challenge when cashing out £3000 to a recipient. The fee associated with this transaction amounted to £350. This fee was a result of the accumulation of various payments, and as a vendor, it's becoming increasingly challenging to manage these costs, especially considering the site fees. Balancing the need to absorb these fees while also keeping costs down for customers is proving to be quite a complex task. GAW

Theyre back up again. Not mental high but high enough ive still got a paymwent stuck unconfirmed two weeks later, a week after the order expired. Total shite. Cant afford another order til that eventually gets back to my wallet and no idea when thatll be. Havent had a smoke since. Pish
Got his responce from cleanup borg.
little biggy does not process payments. we are seeking payment processors with alternative currencies.

FOR. just like in other systems, adapt or become obsolete. All it takes is for someone to build a better iteration with alternative crypto, and LB is dead. 25/11/23
I've reached out to all borgs, urging them to bring the issue to the attention of the administrators. If each of us sends a message, it could potentially strengthen our case and demonstrate to the administrators that significant changes are necessary for the survival of both vendors and the community. The increasing difficulty posed by fees from both the customer and vendor perspectives needs to be addressed, and collaborative efforts in highlighting these concerns may contribute to a more sustainable solution.

Although I wouldn't hold your breath, it's been requested several times. Here's a post from over 18 months ago that suggests the admin had already agreed it would be integrated.

I know init, it’s a shame really I originally thought it was a community based site but it’s just not the case given the fact vendors and customers are all shouting from the roof tops we need an alternative but the approach seems to be grim and bare bitcoins volatility
yeah been watching this a everyone has been asking for a new payment processor. this seems the farthest its got they are looking for devs

Won’t buy anything with bitcoin at the mo due to fees…

Totally get that, I was gutted when I had to ask my old dealer when I seen the price of the bitcoin fees but I can’t justify paying upwards of €15 just for a fee.
It’s not as if it’s happened before the only difference now is people are going to find alternative sites which sucks as LB has been awesome.

I for one love this site but it’s becoming harder and harder to utilise the brilliant products on here and community due to bitcoins instability and proven track history of being unreliable on this site.
It is also getting to the stage where it’s becoming too expensive for vendors and profits are being eaten up by transactions fees alone.
Instead of little biggy being that website everyone remembers as being “imagine how good that could have been” and continue to expand the community by allowing better accessibility for payments.

Although I've seen this all before. An old vendor Super Hans tried extremely hard to get Litecoin/Monero etc introduced a couple of years ago. Had the backing of all the vendors and biggas alike and it never happened.
It does seem like jackwright might be making some headway, but many of us that have been on here a while won't be holding our breath.
Good luck though buddy. It's probably the single most important improvement to the site, and is long overdue, so I really do hope this time it works out.

Yeah I’ve got that the overall response is For but it’s literally not even worth it given as someone already pointed out initiative Borg ain’t been active in a while.
Yeah I think our only hope is someone picking up the project, I’ve had a quick look at what it entails and although am literally studying that issue at the minute I think it’s probably best someone with experience take on something like that.
Hopefully though someone sees the opportunity and takes it!

Chances are they’ll probably need to rewrite Transaxe. If it’s hardcoded to support Bitcoin it’s not going to be a small job to change the payment method.

USTD is the way forward, price never fluctuates and I don’t think the fees are mad, correct me if I’m wrong
FOR I love this site but the BTC fees are making me (and probably everyone else) leave this site and go back to old school street dealerswhere there's no safety net or anything.
Need to find a different way to pay. I don't mind a couple $$ but atm u can't justify it. They are crippling people.

no reply or anything from any borgs or admin on any single one of the dozens of topics on this subject this past couple weeks, yet posts exposing dogshit fraudulent dangerous vendors like gamechanger will get immediately removed from the wall
used to be so passionate about the idea of community and gradual improvements to the site via an alleged democratic process of initiatives but that's long gone for me now
we are all pissing into the wind but it's really fucking windy out and the piss is just going directly back into our faces, you can't stop pissing though because you've been holding it in for an age
yes i totally understand that perhaps in the backend they don't have the resources to implement currency changes but they should at least use the topic wall manipulation in a productive way and actually pin a topic about this to the top of the wall permanantly till a solution is achieved, even if that solution has to be bought, paid for and implemented by biggas and not the borgs

Yeah I think I’m at that level where the hype was too good to be true kind of thing.
It is a back end issue by the looks of it, I suppose all I can do while I’ve got my hyper focus is keep the topic relevant and in hope that it gets picked up one day that or until my hyper focus runs out 😂😂

I really hope they switch up and offer using monero and eth bitcoins got its usesn but. It's a terrible coin for the job.
It baffles me that there's an escrow service presumably raking it in but something as simple as a password change on transaxe takes a week. I feel like it's one person working part time so that being said there is no chance of more currencies being added.
Its a shame because I can only see bitcoin getting worse for fees and like others have said leaves LB exposed to competition.
Transaxe have been good at times, such as taking the hit in the high fees back in May (not sure if they have during this November spike).
I just hope we get to use monero and eth soon.

I have a post up looking for a dev in this matter. It's been up months with no replies. I spoke to admin, I have the requirements they say is needed before testing. The Admin are more than happy for alternatives if they can be proven. Anyone know how to write smart contracts in solidity with immutable logic?
I would try using wrapped trx stablecoin. It's shielded, so private, and most of all stable.
If you have the skills to do this I can help fund the project.

I'm the same. I've even had a look at what's involved and it's way above my pay grade. If I can get a good dev, I can probably get the mods and run it. There's obviously a monetary incentive through the fees.
Whatever is used has to integrate with LB too. That could be another road block, even if you had the system.

I’m gonna try get me head around it over the next couple of weeks for my own development but will also try to keep that topic relevant somehow am sure someone here has the skills for such task.

22 pounds for a 200 pound transaction. That’s where I draw a line with this. Love this site and the vendors but there really should be an alternative token not just because of this. Had one crypto/bank account shut down due to bitcoin issues also.
I probably make at least two transactions per week here but I won’t be with these fees. Maybe once a month. Hopefully a resolution which suits both sellers and buyers can be found. This really should be a priority considering how it could adversely affect sales.

I'm not an expert in Blockchain by any means but isn't this what the bitcoin lightning network was introduced to fix?
Could LB not integrate lightning network into its payment system? I'm sure last time I sent via lightning it was like 30p or less for the transaction and didn't involve anything complicated

I think you have failed to see what it is people want here, I’ve read down your comments, it’s not about the removal of BTC at all it’s about alternative.
Which turns out has been in the pipeline for a while just not picked up, I’ve seen blockhead is looking at running USDT alongside as an alternative.
I would prefer to pay in bit coin but at times like this I would also like to save what money I have and use a cheaper coin to allow for a more accessibility when it comes to payment and not just one.
For example, I normally buy your hashes which are banging and at a great price, so when I would finish ordering what i would normally order I would treat myself to one of your hashes. I haven’t been able to do that as the fee is replacing the price of the hash, neither of us gain anything apart from bitcoin.

Aye I don’t know as much about BTC as you, but there’s a way to have discourse without coming across as a condescending prick. You’re no better than anyone here, just because you’re a reputable seller it doesn’t mean you can talk down to anyone.

The issue is biggas fail to mention btc went up by 24.8% in the last 30 days .. and of course day traders are trading the shit out of btc hence the high fees/ delays and etc..
You inconsistent biggas only complain when btc fees are high but are all quite when fees are cheap and normal..
If you are FOR then Name one alternative coin that can match BTC…
Btc sorted us out for years and now cause the coin is pumping and fees are high everyone wants to jump ship 🤦♂️

it's not about jumping ship at all it's about having other options so we can continue to use this market when BTC fees render this market useless which has been over a week now, i can list off about 10 vendors that want other options like LTC or monero, if we were using LTC i would have about £500 a year extra to spend on here that isn't lost in BTC fees!
and a simple solution to your problem would just be to put in your manifesto that you only accept BTC no other coins, all orders in other currencies will be cancelled
we can't expect BTC to get more stable in the future, i can only see more frequent pumping and pisstake fees at this point amongst a few weeks of "Stability" here and there where the fees are still an absolute pisstake tbh
you probably noticed my lack of orders as well, i'm back to street dealers now lol

The thing is you can receive your funds in an alternative coin with low fees and faster transactions for the buyer, then swap it into BTC if you wanted BTC.
Hypothetical. You get £150 worth of ETH for the order and the buyer has only paid £152 total to pay and transfer funds for the order. Once funds are released to you , you can swap the £150 worth of ETH into BTC if you don't want it in ETH
If they paid using BTC that £150 order would cost them £180 , but you will still only get the £150 worth of BTC in the end. It costs the buyer an extra £30 just for using BTC. Not only is this not sustainable for the buyer but it's also not good for your business as it puts people off buying when fees are this high.

Why is it not reliable?
You can swap your ETH into BTC if you didn't want the alternative coin the second you received it, I don't really see the issue if you can simply swap it?

So I have to already wait 16 days for escrow to release the Money then I have to do another transaction to change it to BTC?..
you’ll have to do your own research why it’s not reliable when the creator can literally turn back time and reverse transaction or freeze funds etc..

Almost all crypto apps have swapping features built in, it takes seconds to swap thousands of dollars , you literally input the amount and click swap. It would take less time than the message you just typed out, yet saves your customers huge amounts on fees.
The few seconds it takes you to do the swap would be far outweighed by the increase In orders you would receive , and money you would make, if an alternative coin was accepted on here.

Increased orders for how long?
What happens when Police start to pressure the creator of ETH to freeze funds or reverse funds or wallets etc?
Bitcoin has been sufficient from day 1 and still is.. yes it’s temporary high fees but that’s only Temporary.
I think everyone is getting too comfortable buying drugs of the internet.

An increase in orders for ever hopefully, fees are higher than other coins even when they are normal.
It's not like it's a one off, this happens every few months with bitcoin and roughly once per year to the current extent. When fees are normal they are still higher on BTC compared to others. If bitcoin continues to increase like people speculate it will, then worse is yet to come for fees.
You can simply swap your coin to BTC, but having alternatives with lower fees cant be a bad thing. Maybe even an option for the seller to choose what coins they accept. No one is saying get rid of btc, but having alternatives can't be a bad thing.

BCH would be a real choice for this website however to replace or sit next to BTC for payments. BCH fees are tiny in comparison!
BTC has a potential successor, it's called Ergo (ERG).
Not saying it would be right coin for this website at the current time, but just putting it out there for awareness in case anyone didn't know about it already.

I don't know enough about it to comment, I did ask for more info but you mentioned I would have to do my own research.
If vendors can choose what coin they accept, they accept the risks that come with the coin they choose. You can stick to BTC and others can choose what every they are comfortable with accepting.

Thanks. “You” well that’s not true, check my short post history. And as I stated I have had other issues with bitcoin that have nothing to do with fees.
Nobody said jump ship, if you read the OP - we want an alternative option, which I don’t think isn’t reasonable for a variety of reasons? If we’re talking of dumping BTC completely then yes, then this should be a different discussion but that’s not what we’re talking about at least to my eyes.

It’s not bitcoin fault that your sending btc directly to the site or for whatever reason your bnk wants to close your account..
I have trust in the admins.. they sorted us out when shit hits the fan and they have a reason to sticking to btc..
I hope they can see past the riffraff and continue stick to only BTC..
because for many reasons one being BTC creator is Satoshi.
Someone mention FTT.. I don’t know if they taking the piss but that’s a known Scam coin.
Another person said USDT.. the creators of USDT are the biggest crooks.. check out coffeezilla on YouTube and see what he thinks.. his probably the biggest crypto scam buster..
All coins have flaws the most reliable is BTC.
For all your questions just Watch the videos from Bitcoin University

So it's been a couple of weeks and still nothing has really happened as far as coming up with a solution to bring some stability in the pricing for the buyers and vendors, and now that the dollar to pound conversion rate has very very quickly hit it's worst rate on record, and it's clearly showing no signs of slowing down, what are we going to do about this?
My solution, which has been backed up by so many of the sites users that i've lost count, would be the obvious
>CHANGE THE SITES CURRENCY FROM DOLLARS $, TO STERLING £<
$60 is as near as makes no difference, £60 now (£55.26), once you factor in fees for buying btc etc! this is absolute insanity, i'm now unable to afford the order i planned for today due to literal overnight changes in conversion rates
$60 right now is £55.26
$60 a year ago today was £43.20
this is HUGE
I've explained this way too many times in the past couple weeks, but the only reason we are experiencing all the negatives of this is because we are still (for no actual given reason) using Dollars, instead of Sterling as the sites currency!
at the very least, 90% of the buyers on here are within the UK, and all have Sterling in our bank accounts, not Dollars
Dollars and Sterling are neck and neck when it comes to stability in the worlds market, claiming the use of Dollars for stability reasons on here is disingenuous
and how are vendors expected to be sat at their computer 24/7 constantly adjusting their prices on hundreds of listed items just to make it fair for buyers, when all this could be solved with a simple currency change?
$60 right now is £55.26
$60 a year ago today was £43.20
this is INSANE biggas, and it has NOTHING to do with inflation in the context of this website and market
£60 a year ago is £60 today.
one final thing i would like to add biggas that a lot of you probably wouldn't have even seen at the time, or joined long after, but about 2 years ago, before we had initiatives, i was very outspoken about the fact that the BTC prices on here used to be only set in 5 digits, for example 0.0050BTC, and with the instability of BTC, this lead to us never being able to actually pay the correct amount for our orders (0.0057464BTC < how prices look now) often having to pay way more than the order is worth because we didn't have the correct amount of decimal places, this was hugely frustrating and it was costing everyone a fortune, and after making topic after topic screaming at the top of my lungs about how much we need extra decimal places and then out of nowhere with no explanation we were finally given this much needed change when LB went under it's overhaul a couple years back! i wanted to end on that, for the biggas that thought that i'm just bitching, i'm not, i poured so much energy into those topics to benefit all of us, the amount of money that we have all saved since the decimal place change would have surpassed the hundreds of thousands of £ quite some time ago, just like the change i'm asking for now, it's going to save so many people so much money at a time when we coudn't possibly need it more.
Peace.

i know it's not, but that's not how inflation works on here as i've already explained and so have others, you're misunderstanding the point, that's not how this site works, as other people have already stated, this kind of inflation isn't relevant within the context of this site and buying weed
a £60 listing a month ago is a £60 listing today
a $60 listing a month ago would be about £48 then, and £55 today
^this is unnecessary inflation and instability
if we were using sterling this whole time then prices wouldn't have been changed by much at all

FOR - Despite the complete collapse of the £ it is still the most stable currency to use because 95% of buyers and sellers are in UK and the £ is the currency we use. This means that a listing of £100 will always be £100 today, tomorrow, next week if its still listed at £100 then you will still pay £100 - this is stability. A $100 listing is £76 then £78 then £82 then £86 then £90 now it's £95even though its still listed unchanged at $100 - that is instability.
Sellers don't want to adjust their prices every day depending on international markets that have no baring on their business.

there's some shite comments as well... unbelievable some people.. sorry for being the only person to actually get traction on this topic and start making much needed changes on here mate...
my whole point is to try and bring more stability for everyone as quickly as possible, and thinking of a way forward is the only way
calling this 'shite' without giving any reason why, or actually contributing a good idea, what use is that?

FOR - preferably stable coin, then theirs no issues with payment release dates of 16days for vendors who are then stuck in huge currency fluctuations and this year alone has seen at least 3 occasions of the escrows halving in value within that 16 day period.
It does not make sense, not with the pressures of staying stealth and not being caught by the bizzes we now have to have a degree in economics just to make sure have enough to pay our supplier's in 2 weeks for the reload or have enough money for fuel etc.
The world is at a financial knife edge and if this does not get sorted some poor vendors going to be getting a hiding or 2 from some pissed off supplier who wants their money the plain facts.

100% behind this initiative but sadly I think the site owners don't care. They posted last week about prioritising things behind the scenes. I've not once seen a feature the community has asked for implemented here. I get the feeling the site is run part time by a small group. I know of other marketplaces that have even the most basic of features... dated posts, search features, pages that don't take minutes to load if they have more than 200 topics on them. I can get over the dated posts and loading times but I can't get over the prices. The other place I buy from has lots of flower variety (shit for carts and edibles etc) but flower has always been £37.50 for eighths and doesn't change. It think the LB staff maybe reached the limit of their abilities. Simple functions that any other online marketplace in the world has, the LB staff don't to have the knowledge/time/tools to implement.

regardless of this exercise the sellers need to lower their rates. they need to do this now (right now please if you are a seller reading this)
Vendors are not a charity we are here to try and make a profit. The prices are at the lowest points that I have ever seen on LB.
Can I ask you a question Mr Allmonde can I ask that you take a wage cut in your job, please?
And also at the same time pay more for your fuel and food and all the other crap.
Do you not think vendors deserve to make a living??

sure that's a good question that illustrates the fallacy of this initiative.
if i were being paid in dollars i would be making more pounds right now - just like you are.
if we change it to pounds today i'm still making the same amount anyway right?
you with me sir?
so in order for anything to change and for me to stop capturing the difference - like you are right now - i would have to lower my wage.

Correct if you are buying in dollars and paying for shipping in dollars but what I see beneath my feet is UK soil so no.
So unless you are not physically living here and working here no because every shop I go into still asks me for pounds when I shop.
It's really that simple Mr Allmonde.
The only way it works is if you buy from America and even then you still pay everything else shipping etc in pounds.

it doesn't matter if you are buying from swahili or if lb changes to shkels my friend, you will have to lower your prices to get lower prices to your customers.
can you see this?
can you see this?
Our prices are around 20% less across the board more or less from this time last year when things were even cheaper than they are now.
The risk reward ratio Mr Allmond is very low atm for vendors.
We are not in control of the currency markets and what happens in 2 wks after we have paid shipping and sent the item and we see the prices fall even lower and our money is still not being paid out are you going to send money to vendors when they go broke??

yet everything you say proves that this initiative will not save anyone a cent.

prices haven't been adjust once since months ago when you could buy a dollar for 73pence
switching to sterling would save the majority of the sites users quite a bit more than a cent... i would actually be able to afford to buy the same things i bought on here last week for example
you dont seem to undertstand people do not set their prices daily based on conversion rates here, so buyers are always losing money, not only that it will / has already reached a point where people can't afford to order because of the exchange rate, and then vendors won't be making any money at all if people can't afford to order

you don't actually have to change your prices though if this goes through
example
your mcflurry, 7g, $80, been the same price for about a month, but for us a buyer, that costs us £10 more for the same order of $80 than it did a month ago
now lets say we had sterling as the sites currency a month ago
your 7g of mcflurry would have been listed at £68 a month ago, dollar rates would be irrelevant and a month later your same listing would still be £68 instead of the £75 it costs now
so what's actually happening here is buyers are the charity here, a lot of us are here to buy a specific amount of medicine each week / month and lots of us are being fucked out of that because of a conversion rate, eventually vendors are going to end up with a lot less money if people can't afford to order because of a conversion rate

Yes agreed the customer needs a better option.
If a vendor does not sell for a few weeks its better than not selling and taking a loss which has happened quite alot this year with the markets crashing.
If we knew 100% that you pay £68 and we receive that amount minus the Biggy fees there would be no issues as we are sheltered from factors outside of our control, but unfortunately that's not the case vendors are walking a tightrope, which is very perilous.
I have woken up 3 times in the last 12 months to have seen over $25k evaporate to around $9k even though I am working my bollocks off I still have lost.
Sometimes I question what is the point but it comes back to the buzz and the thrill I suppose otherwise it could be percevied as madness lol

if sellers dont lower their prices then then the pound would need to fall even further for this to have any effect whatsoever .
Hesh alot of vendors from earlier in the year have already been wiped out and alot that have been trading for the last 12months are just about keeping there heads above water after the btc price dropped 3 times in value, just take a step back and have a think about what i have just said.
The price of BTC is likely to drop further over the coming months so what you are asking is for vendors to do is commit financial suicide.
Its not up to the vendors its up to the admin on here to sort this out.

the inherent instability of BTC is something we've all been dealing with and there's nothing we can do about that unfortunately
but achieving more stable prices for buyers is the opposite of financial suicide, it's incredibly beneficial for vendors to have more stable pricing with sterling instead of dollars, i'm down so much money this month because of overpaying for this conversion rate to the point i've had to go round this morning asking vendors if they can do me a custom order because i can no longer afford the fixed prices on their menus
in my original post i said it was up to the admins to sort this out but we never hear from them, and since then i've had vendors saying it's up to vendors to sort this out?
at the end of the day WE need to sort this out as a community immediately and that's why i started this initiative, even though it's probably putting a target on my back for some people, this should all be about working towards a greater good! as currently the way things are going, nobody will be buying on here as others have already stated they are buying / looking elsewhere because of this

Yes I agree with all the borrowing that the UK government keeps doing it will only weaken.
When all those people where calling for a lockdown this is the price that we pay.
For all those people who where PAYE and were getting 80% of their wages for sitting on there backsides for months at a time, this is the cost of that.
Just think when you go on holiday now the same applies. Do you think Maria from the beach resort in Spain will be giving you more sangria because our pound is fucked ?
We need to accept that we all need to work harder to make the same money as this time last year it's that simple it won't be getting better it will be getting worse very sorry to say it how it is but that's the bare bones of the matter.
We asked for it we got it, this country is fucked.

Opened up my account to loads of notifications and upvotes on this thread which you still have my full support on but but worried peeps are voting on a year old thread, is this null and void at this point ? I know both buyers and sellers are being shafted with fees again or still do we need to start again or will the recent activity count ?

I think someone mentioned that this topic was open so i tried to revive it and also started a new one.
It has been noted but the issue is the dev work that needs to be done is a fairly big job that from what I am gathering hasn’t got much incentive.
I also know blockhead have announced they are setting up an alternative recently.
Sorry for all the notifications though!🙈

100% for. we need more options especially somthing faster with less congestion and fees.
Why isn't the GBP&USD price linked to the BTC price?
Altough, tbh, as vendors we should be price checking ourselves and our competition regularly anyway. Or, our customers would give us a nudge I'm sure.
At the same time, the best addition to this site would be both the currency prices, and the ability to settle funds, both customer>vendor and vendor>customer direct on the site.
The current 16 day escrow is laughable and a potential exit scam waiting to happen... the option for the customer to finalize on delivery hurts no-one

Altough, tbh, as vendors we should be price checking ourselves and our competition regularly anyway. Or, our customers would give us a nudge I'm sure.
At the same time, the best addition to this site would be both the currency prices, and the ability to settle funds, both customer>vendor and vendor>customer direct on the site.

BTW BIGGAS THE ONLY POSTS THAT NEED VOTES IN THIS TOPIC IS THE ONE POST THAT SAYS "FOR" WITH NO OTHER WORDS
AND THE OTHER POST THAT SAYS "AGAINST" WITH NO OTHER WORDS
the rest of the posts are opinions / debates!
the result of this initiative is decided by the FOR or AGAINST votes as explained by the initiative borg!
Thank every single one of you for your input especially the vendors who have already made changes to their pricing to try and help with this situation <3

for newer biggas that are unsure of the context of some of the replies in this topic, it was created over a year ago when not only did we still have the same problem of literally being robbed by fees, but we also had the problem of every single dollar costing 92p, rather than the 81p it is now which made every single order considerably more expensive for absolutely no reason other than the site being set to the wrong currency for it's customer base
over a year later, all these votes, and we still have all the same problems apart from those same problems essentially being worse than they were a year ago due to cost of living crisis etc,
all these problems could and should have been solved over a year ago
the outcome of resolving these problems means everyone has more money to buy more weed and everyone wins in every possible way

The immediate need for a more stable / suitable currency and or pricing system! GAW

This is a link to devvy borg. There's a bounty on there for 1800 dollars to complete a page that will allow vendors to specify a currency. It's under react/js post.
It has a screenshot of the possibility. Looks good if it can be completed

Would clear so much confusion up and would save me having to message vendors (who have been great in replying by the way) and annoying them! The site is such a jumble to a new user (it took me a good few weeks to somewhat understand the site and the layout) that it may out them off ordering if they are not sure how old a listing is (I know it did for me) something so simple can make life so much easier for both the vendors and the sellers.
I try and date on my post make much easier for LB community to see how old post our. 17/07/22 . JJ
People started dating their posts a while back.. it lasted about a day. We are a forgetful bunch 😂
I've tried to make a habit of it. I'm going to end my posts with a date stamp. 13/7/22. - English format
Please god yes! Date stamps and a search function! I appreciate there are probably "operational" reasons why they don't have this functionality but it'd be SO good to know when something was posted & be able to look for specific items/vendors easily.
For search, in android at least, you can use the "find in page" function of the browser. Top right should be three dots, it's in there.

Dates are missing by design.
There was a borg update recently saying dated posts will be removed after a day or two.

Then there was another one saying that dating posts is a way to receive greater visibility on the Wall 🤷♂️😵💫
Copied from Borg:
“the wonderwall algorithm gives extra weight to (roughly in order):
posts in languages other than english
non-commercial posts
items that are unusual
items & posts with videos
posts with original images (especially item review posts)
posts with dates”

I am a mushroom vendor and cannabis buyer in littlebiggy. Dated postings and a search function would improve the site's quality. In addition, I think an animation video on how to buy items on lb would be awesome for new users. Any video artists out there?
