Hello everyone,
I made a topic with up-to-date, non-KYC, anonymous options to purchase Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Hopefully this can help a few people purchase crypto with less hassle.

Seems I can only buy £100 at a time now on coin base….wtf ! If there is more of a crackdown , whats the alternative…..if we can’t use BTC?…what is LB going to do to deal with these changing times

Does anyone use Paxful? theres sellers who want paypal as payment method and i'm wondering if its legit? the exchange rate is 99% on some offers that would save me a lot of money as i have no ID and being using coincoupon at £15 fees for each buy!

It's a danger zone for sure but a very strong rep helps, take it slow

Yeah paxful is good to buy from just buy from sellers with lots of good reviews as some want more money than you sent nd agreed upon but it is overall good

I use revolut as my only bank account. no need for a physical bank account,because i have a mastercard with them,all my earnings are paid into revolut,and did not need any photo id.I buy my bitcoins from them and then transfer them to my exodus wallet.fees are really low also :)

Do I need to send to a wallet with Revolut? I've just opened an acc just to buy btc 🙃. Can I send straight to vendor?

I’ve done same w/ Coinbase - bought bc & sent straight to vendor. I do have a Coinomi wallet but haven’t used in ages. Only concern is I haven’t submitted a wallet address in case of dispute/refund. Don’t know where to do that, I’m little new to LB/Transaxe & unfamiliar w/ the proper process. Any advice from others would be appreciated

Btw. Ive been using the plain blockchain wallet for two years without any issues. Least hassle wallet Ive seen! And since I wont upgrade my OS on my mac its one of the few I can actually use.

Exchanges still cant beat the price of btc I get on localbitcoinsdotcom. The only hassle is I need to order btc and go to my local national financial agency and pay a money transfer slip with cash. Thats not a prob tho, cause the teller is a very nice looking woman :P And btc is in my wallet in 3-6 hours after I pay.

Can I ask, does 'local national financial agency' roughly translate to the Union in the West or something similar?

https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_average_transaction_fee

Yes it’s for everyone, it’s because Bitcoin fees are through the roof at the mo and they are trying to negate the effects. They peaked Tues and seem to be dropping but not yet close to what everyone is used to - I expect it will be several days at least until they remove the restrictions

How to: Purchase Bitcoin anonymously, exchange currencies anonymously

by Shroom Of The Loom 9.7/10

How to: Purchase Bitcoin anonymously, exchange currencies anonymously

Hello everyone,
I've seen a few topics so far asking how to obtain BTC without KYC. I thought I'd make a topic to show a few ways / methods of doing so:

AgoraDesk
AgoraDesk is a cryptocurrency exchange established in the British Virgin Islands. People from several nations can trade their home currencies for Bitcoin or Monero at AgoraDesk (or call or put options for BTC or XMR).

Users are able to post advertisements where they state exchange rate and payment methods for buying or selling Bitcoin or Monero. You respond to these ads and agree to a transaction with the poster. When the parties have transacted and the seller has confirmed payment to AgoraDesk, AgoraDesk releases the BTC or XMR from the escrow account and sends it to the buyer. This solution by AgoraDesk allows the exchange to safely escrow the cryptos of any user without taking control of it.

AgoraDesk resembles an online shop or Ebay in many aspects for cryptocurrency. Investors at the exchange place various "ads" in which they quote a price for a particular cryptocurrency. This advertisement may be for purchasing, selling, or either of those actions. You can accept the offer if you, as another buyer or seller, believe it to be good.

HodlHodl
Hodl Hodl is a worldwide peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading platform that enables users to transact with one another directly. It does NOT retain user funds; instead, it locks them in multisig escrow. This cuts down on trade time and minimises the chance of Bitcoin assets theft.

HodlHodl is not subject to intricate compliance requirements because it does not keep any money (neither fiat nor bitcoin). This makes the trading platform KYC-free by enabling trades to take place directly between users' wallets without requiring users to reveal their identities.

Bitni.com
In order to make online transactions as convenient as in-person transactions, cryptocurrency was developed.

Bitni.com was established to uphold the original principles of cryptocurrencies, with a heavy emphasis on privacy, efficiency, and use.

Users can exchange various cryptocurrencies for a flat rate of 1%.

PositivePotato

you can use segwit to send mate.. transaxe actually give you a segwit address to pay (addresses starting bc1). Its when you need a refund apparently they ask for a legacy address.

Just use a wallet that can generate different types receiving addresses... a good one should give the option of segwit, compatibility and legacy

If you really care about bitcoin, then there is a fantastic wallet out there. It is priceless.

Luno asking questions! Help please?

I use luno to buy and send Bitcoin, usually a straightforward process. I just tried to send my bitcoin off to pay for a purchase and it is asking me for the full name of the person or the legal entity I am trying to send it to! Has anyone else had this problem? or does anybody know what I should type in? Or does anybody have any advice on what to do in this situation please?

+2

Vapeplug 9.9/10

Hey I got the same message today from a customer that uses luno and he said same thing as you that they are asking for recipients name and wallet destination or something like that..

I told him to write any name and UK or something to see if it works if not ..

Might be another way to bypass that by make an Exodus wallet or coinbase wallet in your name then send btc from luno to coinbase or exodus then from there you should be able to send to littlebiggy to make payment.

Thanks bud! I'm so impatient I just brass necked it and put "Robert Burns" resident of the UK and it went through I figured it must because the address is would still be valid.

I just bought bitcoin in kraken app to Pay my orders in here, but I don’t know where do I need to go in the app to send my funds to the “link” they gave me in here
Can anybody help me?

Boooba

I wish I could remember to help you out but I’ve been banned (don’t send straight to the address given :p)

+1

SpeedyRun

Thanks still. What do you with not sending straight to the address tho?

+3

Dhokha

If you send straight from Kraken/Coinbase and others direct to the wallet on your order page you can be banned from the app if that wallet was flagged.

You can avoid this by sending the funds to your own wallet first, and then to the order wallet. Look for a withdraw or transfer option in Kraken - it should then ask you for the address to transfer to, you'll find this in your new wallet app usually by clicking "deposit".

I've had no issues sending from Luno or Exodus wallets, and had no issues sending funds direct from Paybis.

+1

SpeedyRun

How do I have my own wallet tho?

Dhokha

You can get apps for wallets on your phone like Exodus or Luno. There's many options though if you google aroun, not had any issues with these two myself

Need help at paying my ordens in here

Just exchanged the amount of money I need to bitcoin but still I’m having doubts in how the payment works on lb. Im at the payment page on here and it says to send the bitcoin to the address in a externally way, so how does lb know that I already payed for the transaction to end?

+3

pollypuff20

The wallet address you can see is unique to your order. LB generates a new one for every transaction. Click on it to copy it to clipboard and paste it into your exchange send order. Your LB order status will change from unpaid to paid when your coin reaches here…normally less than an hour depending on the blockchain…

+2

Whiz420

When you click pay you're redirected to Transaxe, which is the payment processor on LB. Just copy the address and amount from that page. Then you just wait for an hour or so for the funds to be confirmed.

+1

DeadRabb1t

The address is unique to your transaction is my understanding of it

Unsure if this is 100% accurate but not had an issue in my transactions

+1

Mattbee

On your order page you will have an address to send payment to from your bitcoin wallet. Send correct amount and it will link up.

Can anyone advise on this. I'm trying to send bitcoin for my order but it's saying "transaction amount too low." Does this mean I just need to wait for the fee amount to rise in order to send?

Thanks

I think the minimum send is €15

+1

Weedy_DeeDee

The amount I'm trying to send is over the £15 minimum and the fee quoted is £2.25.

+2

Khuunntt

That's quite a high fee. Maybe they upped the minimum send. It has fluctuated in the past. I remember it being €10 last year and €25 before that when the network was backed up with the fee @ £10+

+1

Weedy_DeeDee

The minimum crypto send is £25 now. The fee has dropped still won't let me send, do I need to wait for the fee to rise to like £4-£5 before it will accept?

I don't use kraken but if you can send to lb I would, just costs coin everytime you send to wallets.with exodus I think your only allowed to send to 2 btc wallets. So yea straight to lb mate.

I use zengo and it's been brilliant but right now it's say to send 45 pounds of bitcoin the fee are 56 pounds they'll say the blockchain is congested 🤔🤔

Yes very no fees you can almost pay 1£ extra for ur bitcoin to go extra fast to transaxe to pay the seller (3mins)

+2

WHL_712004

Make sure you're sending to an external wallet from coinbase first and then onto vendor mate or you're directly linking coinbase to an illegit btc wallet. Will cost more in fees inevitably but its bait for buyer and vendor sending from coinbase and will get your account closed sharpish

Exodus issue

Hi guys I have £147 of btc in my exodus wallet but its saying I can only send £132 worth. So where the f$#k is the other £15??? Can anyone help please 🤢🤢

+6

ike

exodus wallet does not keep transaction fees, they set them according to network conditions and the fees go to the network operators (miners).

you can override their suggested fees, the lower the slower basically until it's so low that it wont get picked up by the network, in this case you get your money back. a decent risk to take when the network is busy from a price rally since you are going to get more back than you sent in fiat terms.

+5.2

hesh 10/10

after a "stable" couple of months in terms of fees and pricing it seems to have completely shat the bed today

had to get bent over by coinbase's daylight robbery transaction fees twice today since they wanted £6 in fees to send £80 to my wallet

unfortunately all we can do is just get fucking dicked over by it all because nothing will change on here speaking from lots of experience

even after manually adjusting exodus wallet fees, i had to spend £102 to make a £79 order, that £23 was lost to purchasing fees and transaction fees

TWENTY THREE FUCKING QUID POOF GONE UP IN SMOKE FOR NOTHING I COULD HAVE EATEN FOR A WEEK ON THAT

i'm absolutely fuming

RobDj79

Yeah I spent over £20 in bullshit fees

+4

HoneyMonster

Huge huge fee's for every one right now its cray cray. Seen miners earned over 50billion in mining transaction blocks. The new age banks incoming digital age. But yes lets hope the fees go down real soon as i want to buy some goodies.

Exodus do have set larger fees but i do not mind paying them generally - it's when its a more global issue every fee is up i tried a few other wallets.

You can also set your fee to really low but a miner but not pick it up and gets held up in the blockchain pending for ages. Pay high fees they get it faster.

What's happened to btc? Fees are astronomical. Not even worth buying anything

Tell me about it..... bought £150 worth to cover a £142 order. Had to buy another £20 just to cover fees 😒 😑 🙄

Could it be high fees at the moment? I've had similar with other wallets, they're taking their cut before being sent. But that's high for exodus though.

I just kept refreshing page manged to send out the amount I needed to but still took over £5 🤬🤬🤬

Hiddensound1

On Exodus, you can manually adjust the fee you pay. It's worth doing as it usually defaults to a much higher fee than is required.

When you've input the amount you want to transfer, you'lll see 'Advanced' just below. Open the drop-down and you'll be able to change the fee.

Essemcee

I send GBP from Revolut to coinbase rather than the BTC.
Given the exchange fees are cheaper on coinbase (they are sky high on Revolut btw) this method makes more sense, and Revolut do not scrutinise the transfer of fiat like they do crypto.
Made this mistake first time and had questions about transaxe wallet.
When I got it back, I did as above and have made probably 10 transactions this way with zero issues.

It's simple after I'd verified.
Bank to skrill to vendor.

My bank also prohibitis buying crypto, skrill by passes this feature.

The new skrill is better, until last year i order for my to bypass the banks prohibition I had to use skrill, then coinmama, then bitwallet to pay the vendor.

but as said ID I needed, bit the bullet it's worth it :)

Personally I'd recommend everybody gets a Crypto Bank account. Never any issues with transferring Fiat in both directions and exchanging for BTC is a doddle.

Plus you can use the Visa card just like you can with your high street bank card.

There are a few options but cryptopay I think is the best. Link above. Piece of piss to setup.

I use bittylicious. I can’t remember if they wanted ID or not to set the account up, it was years ago.

But you can purchase by BACS transfer to circumvent any restrictions your bank may have. Really quick and easy.

I don’t even have a wallet. I just transfer the exact amount directly into the vendors wallet through Bittylicious.

Even if they want ID, what’s the issue? Buying a bit of smoke or some shrooms on LB is hardly going to get you in any trouble, even if they ever managed to track you down.

I bought some coin at about 12pm today and normally it clears in my coinomi wallet within half an hour.

Unfortunately it still hasn’t cleared and I’ve obviously missed the postage cutoff for some sweet triple filtered hashy goodness. Sad times!

I normally use a coinomi wallet and get coin from btc direct.

When I view the transaction in blockchair it keeps swinging between taking 26 mins and four hours for confirmation.

Any pointers or suggestions? Just wait it out?

Yep, the blockchain has gone mad... they were asking me 60 dollars to send 60 dollars using Blockstream Green. Ended up sending all my BTC for 50 dollars (a lot more than 60 dollars yet I paid less, weird.) to Electrum wallet and started using that, the fees are 10x better and I've saved loads already...

136 sats costs you $85 with Blockstream, got 205 sats for $6 at peak times with Electrum.

I've had loads of customers messaging me about their orders remaining unpaid for ages, even after confirmations... Hopefully it all mellows out soon, delays are never fun.😊

Gonna have to wait it out for btc network congestion and fees to calm down…

Most likely it’s cause of the BTC Ordinals Nfts or whatever they’re called that’s congesting the network

Paybis now won't transfer under 200 euros which is well annoying.

My Starling / Paybis setup is no longer working a treat.

What are other bitcoin buying options please?

Might just have to spend the 200 quid for an easy life.

Zengo are offering first time users 0% fee for first purchases up to 200 usd (£180). Ideal for a one off purchase.

For the short term solution open a bank account with revolut. If you don't need any goods for a while, long term go chase or monzo.

This is what I've done. It works with my existing Coinbase setup.

Bit of a faff but....whatevs

Thank you. Ill have a look at Revolute

kempy

Revolut will let you buy goods today short term cos they'll give you a virtual card once opened and that can take minutes but fees aren't so good but chase offer 1% cashback on spending for a whole year or monzo is good but you'll be waiting days for your card.

I've made an order and paid, I transferred coin to a wallet I saved within my revolut account which was the wallet address of the user, the payment is showing as sent, but not received and the wallet its asking for is different to what I have saved...im worried?

You'll need to message transaxe on here with your order number & the address you sent the wallet to. They should be able to sort it 👍

Just be aware the BTC addresses do change with each order, so dont save an address... Always use the one provided on the transaxe page

Proper buying process advice sought

I’ve made a couple of purchases on LB (noob) by buying bc via Coinbase & sending straight to vendor - so far,so good. But would it be better to send bc to a wallet & pay vendor from there? Also I haven’t seen an option to input a bc wallet address in the event of dispute/refund, perhaps I’m not looking in the right place. Just want to ensure as much as poss that my order/transaction is secure. If anyone’s able to summarise the procedure or offer any advice it would be appreciated

Hi,
You don’t pay the vendor, your coin goes to LB transaxe and is held in escrow, so in other words LB offers a full transaction/resolution service.

Transaxe creates a new wallet address for every order so you can send directly to that, no problem. In the event of a refund you will need to provide your own wallet address but if you don’t have an external wallet your exchange will provide an address. I don’t know where the request is on Coinbase, normally it’s via Settings. On Bitpanda that I use, you can click to generate an address.

Hope that helps…

It does help. Thank you. I did used to use a Coinomi wallet when I bought on cannazon but when I checked recently the bc exchange rate seemed much more pricey, hence why I’ve just used Coinbase. Anyway, I’m curious as to how my escrowed payment gets released - on cannazon I’d have to log in & mark my order as ‘received’ (I miss cannazon😂 like Amazon fr stoners)

Transaxe release the payment to vendors after approximately 16 days. This allows for the dispute period to expire. Some people believe that the coin is released to the vendor once the item is reviewed (and hurry to review even if they haven’t tried the product yet so happy are they to have received it 🥳) but this is not the case. Many argue that this would be a big improvement if funds were released as soon as the buyer confirms receipt and satisfaction.

Polly should be a borg.
I used to be that guy. I think it comes with being amazed my wares are being delivered by post.
It must suck for vendors if BTC crashes in between. Defo makes sense to release payment when reviews are done, though I imagine not everyone bothers leaving reviews
