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.

SOTL

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

Try to make a purchase and ur limit willl increase (just don’t fully put the payment threw)

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 :)

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

never send straight to vendor, get a bitcoin wallet

Why? Does anyone official actually care about 2dbp? Unless it large selling qualities

yeah your bank!

Anything other than blockchain, right bunch of pisstakers they are

I have a wallet with coinbase can I us this to send bitcoin to vendors on lb

I use coinbase with no issues whatsoever

Yes I normally use coinbase to send to sellers

I use it ... it works but transactions are traceable back to me ... so not anonymous.

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. Just sayin, cause Ive seen how it is hated upon on the net. Guess its the competition that spread this lie.

When I try pay from my wallet its asking for a fee ,not letting me .tried all options. Any help appreciated

How much do you have in your wallet?….if it’s less than the total with fees it could throw up an error🤔

I didn't have enough in the wallet. Sorted it .thanks

Cool😎….hope you enjoy your order👍

Can you use binance to pay sellers?

You can, however the network fee for BTC is currently £21.... 😔

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?

It will depend on which country you are in. Look for the bank that is managing the most business in your region...

Seen this on one of the other platforms not sure if 100% correct but I would be wary of coinbase they are very intrusive closed my account a few months ago. They give details to HRMC depending on whether you’ve spent over the threshold limit.

Closed my account last week too.

What do you use now? Cos this is ruining it for me right jow

Allrite I use bitpanda now so far so good no problems.

Can someone help me. I’m struggling like mad, iv had my ID rejected at two different exchanges now. All I’m trying to do is order

I have the exact same problem, I open an account and send ID for verification but after days of waiting I get rejected. Really need to buy of LB but can not get around the BTC issue

Finally just got message from.coinbase that I am now verified, will try first top up in morning as I think fees should be less. Then Will make my first purchase of a Oz of hash from lb

Just gone to pay for an order and Bittylicious will only let me buy a MINIMUM of £100 worth of BTC. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm fully registered and have purchased before!

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

I have a few side affects
Intolerance to people's BS
An overwhelming desire to do fuck all
A lack of dreams (mine were crushed years ago anyway)
An unexplainable hatred of Ed Sheeran
And I have also found I still have the purile humour of a school boy
Otherwise I'm fine

Nothing unexplainable about a hatred of Ed Sheeran.

True but my hatred goes beyond rational, to the point that half of my life is dedicated to plotting various methods of his demise. My favourite would be to not actually kill him but plant some kiddy porn on his PC, ruin him proper, Glitter styley

Jesus! I'm glad I just get the munchies.

Brilliant 🤩

That Ed Sheeran is a prick, stoned or not!

ahh i didnt realise the Ed Sheeran thing was related.

Long term use has a deleterious effect on my short term memory and cognitive function (although it seems to stabilise a few months in). I can mitigate some of those losses by taking CBD before bed, but it sucks because it also kills your buzz.

Also, not sure this is a side effect or a benefit, but I often have moments of insight and clarity while high. Things I'll bury away, procrastinate over, or stuff that simply exists in my subconscious will come to the fore. In some people that triggers paranoia and anxiety, but for me it's a catalyst to grab a pen and record my inner monologue.

That said, I'm due a huge break (starting March), as I have some writing jobs to do and I need to learn to drive because my mum is chronically ill.

Time to sharpen the old pencil for a few months and then blunt it in the summer.🤩

2nd paragraph 👍👍💥

Sweet I write at least 3x stoned with 10x moments. Yes there are - 3x times as well but they have disappeared with experience. Like my memory :)

Paragraph 2! Spot on. During a paragraph 2 moment, i decided to report my manager to the Regulatory Authority for our industry. Which I then did.

Weight gain. All strains manage to give me the munchies, and my self-control flies out the window. I can plow through a block of Soreen in under five minutes - I shit you not!

take up heroin, you never see a fat junkie

I feel you. Think the only buds that never made me ravenous were Durban Poison and Blue Dream

I bet you do after a whole Soreen 😳

It's the tastiest, lowest-fat snack I've found so far. Four green and one orange on the health traffic lights. I wish I could trade it for Dairy Milk, but that's when the serious poundage appears.

Same 🤣

Honestly I'm a fucking mong

😂💥😂

Haha why would anyone lie about that? The 'Honestly' was superfluous.

I know exactly what you mean though 😅

The only real negative effect for me is short term memory loss, which the pros massively outweight the cons.

I have Asperger's but smoking weed helps massively, my thoughts tend to race but with weed it slows everything down, I can focus on one thing.

This is huge for me because the racing thoughts leas to anxiety as I'm trying to think of too much too quickly and a lot small, simple problems combine and it feels overwhelming. Not with weed though.

For some reason it seems to "fix" that part of my brain. And it actually allows me to be content with existence.

totally agree

Gang gang gang 👌🏻

One long term effect is a better sex life, makes you harder, last longer ,feel more and is definitely an aphrodisiac;)

letcho punch from dr green thumb made me super horny

I can relate to that lol, pretty efficient !

TLDR: short term memory loss, apathy yet decisiveness, psychological expansion, hope.

Introduced back in the 90s in college, along with other recs 💊 as part of the London clubbing scene.

Lots of commercial hash about at the time which was demotivating in hindsight.

The weed mostly skunk and I remember fondly the laughs had, and epiphanies too.

I was a late teenager and combined with hallucinogens and later spiritual practices had some kind of brain rewiring that was terrifying and awe inspiring.

I’d quit for nearly 20 years before trying again about 4 year ago but that grew and I’ve been consuming and experimenting daily since lockdown. I even grew my own - 3 solo cups of StarDawg, Black Hulk and Easy Bud. Well proud!

I’ve always been sensitive and having a more psychedelic experience wasn’t uncommon. Even on tiny one hitters and I had a year of not only having a tiny tolerance but intense highs that were mostly bringing my subconscious to the surface and tbh all hell broke loose in all areas of my life. Like psychedelics, if you are of the persuasion to be interested in the big questions or have a past that’s traumatic, then it’s going to make you face it and give you the stark reality of the human experience.

I’ve been able to work through it but I fear for the masses who are embarking on their inner journeys unprepared. Not my circus but I have a heart and an understanding that the truths revealed can be devastating to the mind as well as freeing, perhaps providing the liminal space for humans to evolve that’s drowned out by this materialistic and oppressive world.

I love being high. It’s addicting for me. The escape. The creativity and ability to think and pose multi-angled concepts is simply exhilarating and I believe can help solve some of our most challenging problems globally, and locally in our families - my wife hates it but prefers me on it for example. Her hate is ignorance mind.

I’ve realised that for me, daily is more about tolerance, habit and escape. It’s our choice but you have to live with the costs and as someone said, the weeks and years go by and one can be happy with just taking life in… philosophically, I do have issues with this so I’m looking to be more ritualistic and purposeful with it as well as have moments when just to enjoy and experiment.

I’ve been shocked by the tolerance build up which really became noticeable after I found LB 🤣 seems a waste as I found in the last 2 months that the high doesn’t hit as hard or as long and that sucks ‘cause you feel like you’re chasing the buzz but it’s not, it’s the escape for me, but I’m aware of it, and I’m in control.

Paragraph 9

also started using cannabis again in lockdown after about 20 years.... looking out the windows high AF thinking fuck this shit was true enlightenment lol

My pockets have bud shaped holes in them

Giving less of a fuck about the things I don't need to give a fuck about

Yeah, weed makes me super withdrawn if I let myself smoke all the time, it's ended relationships and has brought my current one to the brink, Im trying therapy and smoking less indica during the day.

Used to get globus sensation from high thc bud but thats gone these days.

“Globus sensation” thanks 🙏🏾

I also get this reaction from time to time and it coincides when I feel the weed is strong.

Also have other strange sensations which my anxiety labels as dangerous so my fight or flight kicks in.

I’ve learned that this is more about past sh*t being brought into the now and these effects of the body are just responses.

The challenge is to ride it out and then I find the experience is smoother ✌🏽

Once you know what’s really in your head it becomes easy. Bud makes you really understand, helps you get deep into your thoughts. It’s like a light bulb moment when you wake. Takes alot of work but we keep on tokin 😁

I thought Globus Sensation was an Aphex Twin album

I have ADHD, without it my brain is like bag of snakes, every direction at once.
Even with it i struggle sometimes but its more like that glowy ball thing Will 'The Slap' Smith releases in Men in Black that caused the 1977 New York blackout.
Theres a squirrel on the balcony gotta go...

I feel you

I definitely feel dumber/duller (when I’m high) but maybe that’s because I’ve been out of education for a while now 🤔

I was gonna respond to this topic, but then I got high

i was gonna comment too, but then i got high

Now I'm reading your posts and I know why...

because i got high la di da da da da da...

I can't concentrate long enough to read this thread

After ~15 years of heavy use daily I've got short/long term memory loss but I used to take other drugs so I'm not sure. I've got a neuralogical disability and weed helps keep me out of a wheelchair ect. The desire to be alone is because of choosy beggars not weed. Also I'm a huge man baby, also unrelated (maybe).

As with everything, moderation is key, as a habitual smoker, smoking daily for many years through pipe or bong, minimal use of tobacco, I am unsure whether its caused or calmed my temper.
The mental addiction is apparent whenever I try to detox or take a break i.e, low mood, depressive thoughts, lack of appetite (physical?)
It's all perspective and a lack of dopamine production so I am aware of my low mood when I feel it but can be hard to pull away from without distraction, it comes to pass after a few days, though the mood swings and negativity have already done their damage.

I think I have developed a bit of a dependency on it, the only solution is a long break.

I have a total love/hate relationship with the plant but right now it keeps me calm, very calm.

Long term for me personally it's had negative effects on a huge scale. I am day 4 off weed and feel so happier. I have seen lots same similar. I am dreaming again. Gym and Swimming. Weed really kept and held me back all my life.

Similar to psychedelics, it brings anything I’m avoiding or ignoring to bare. Which can lead to both productive and counterproductive action. Overall I think it helps expand consciousness if you’re willing, appreciate nature and the fact you are part of it. Not something that’s alien and just here by fluke. Sometimes I think it activates something that throws subliminal tests at you. For instance with the munchies, I know not to eat veggie oils, colourants, refined sugar and anything processed/ not organic. But when stoned to the bone that bag of haribo or sitting doing nothing sure does appeal. if I cave and do the above, the next day I’m almost ashamed I let the gremlin win. But if I push through eat some fruit and go climb that mountain, I feel instantly fulfilled. I know this may be abit nonsensical but I’ve been sober this week😂

also pretty sensical

Peace. Freedom from 90% of my physical pain. Inflamation reduction & much more. Those are long term, 50 years, it builds up.

Great question.
I'm over 50, in gainful employment, reasonably fit and slim but an unhealthy diet for balance. Vape daily up to 0.4g but usually 0.2g max. Anyhoo, about 2g max a week but I'm using less strong flower just now, with better gear, I'd be using a lot less. Don't drink alcohol at all.
I too find incredible moments of clarity, especially after a hard day.
Vaping means i dehydrate a lot quicker and need to drink more water. I'd say my balance is less than 100% probably due to residual effects if anything. Overall I'm doing ok. The knowledge i have gained over the years and still need is not yet affected by daily use. Possibly a good barometer for things.

This is probably an old thread, but it’s been an interesting read. I relate to most of the comments.

I have to say I’m pretty sure my memory has been adversely affected, but it’s almost impossible to say for sure right? There’s loads of factors.

But, the benefits are pretty substantial like. The shift in perspective was huge for me, I think it’s why conspiracy guys are often stoners - there is a sense of enlightenment at times, as wanky as that sounds.

There’s something communal about smoking as well I think, and I think it tends to make people generally more community minded, nature friendly and left leaning. Could just be a correlation or whatever but it’s pretty cool imo.

Support your local lollipop man and save the whales.

Smoking weed helps me stay slim 🤣 I don’t get the munchies, I eat less, when I quit my snacking increases and I gain weight!

Most commentators have covered everything.

It also helps me appreciate Ed Sheeran's music.

Wu Tang Clan - Enter the Wu Tang (managed to see them in NYC for Rock The Bells 2010 performing the whole album was a dream comes true) and the second best album for me would be Gang Starr - Moment of Truth

In my top 5 Hip Hop LPs for sure. Love that lo-fi, scuzzy sound! 👌🙌

Peace peace

Roni size - new forms
Massive attack - blue lines

finally someone said Blue Lines. It's odd because in a lot of ways musically I don't rate it highly, it's kind of clumsy in parts, some of the ideas are underdeveloped, some of it almost makes me cringe. But there was just something so special about that time and the sound felt so new and yet familiar. Even though their later stuff is "better" Blue Lines has such a permananet special place in my heart.

Leftism is immense. It's been a while, I'm gonna have to fish it out the old collection.

Time well spent. As for The Prodigy, I saw them at Glasto in '95. They were flying high off the back of Music for the Jilted Generation. I vividly remember Keith (RIP) rolling onto the stage in a giant hamster ball. They were awesome. So much energy.

dark side by pink floyd and blonde by frank ocean. i absolutely rinse both year after year :)

Full albums I've actually listened to over and over are "The Wall" & "Graceland"

Really love listening to Graceland on a fresh sativa high)

ok computer

Nirvana - Unplugged in New York

Nas and Damien Marley - Distant Relatives

Damien Marley first album 🔥

Tribe Called Quest - Low-End Theory

De La Soul - 3 Feet High & Rising

What's going on- Marvin Gaye..almost goes as a mix album the way the songs blend into one another. So relevant to today too.

Another I've played to death over the years is Joni Mitchell- Blue. Just a sublimely chilled album.
Many more, but these two I think I have probably played the most in my lifetime so far

Tom Waits "Blue Valentine", Ry Cooder "Bop Till You Drop" - honourable mention to Joni Mitchell "Blue", Janis Joplin "Pearl", David Crosby "If I Could Only Remember My Name", and a gazillion others...

Some really nice choices there but I'm afraid that I can't see past Raindogs.
Cheers G

Fantastic LP.

The best Waits' in a catalogue where the bar is astonishingly high.

I know I’m cheating but I got
Outkast- Aquemini (and stankonia)
Fugees - The Score
Jay Z - The Blueprint
Kanye - MBDTF
Nas- Illmatic

Some absolute works of art here.

1. Aphex Twin - selected ambient works
2. TLC - Crazy, sexy, cool

Soundgarden - Superunknown
Beastie Boys - ill Communication

Dark Side of the Moon has got to be my first pick. Millionaires by James is great when you've got some sativa running through your system.

The b-side of the sit down single is Live at the Manchester Gmex. On headphones is still the best crowd singing of a song to date.

The Baby Huey story The living legend and Radiohead The bends.

The Bends is one of the finest albums ever made in my opinion.

Baby Huey good shout crate diggers classic love it

The doors,LA woman
The complete stone roses
And many many more.

Since my favourite 2 have already been picked by loads of people, I'll go for...
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Portishead - Dummy

System of a down - toxicity

The Streets - Original pirate material

Ohhh tough probably Floyd dark side of the moon and the doors soft parade

+1 for dark side of the moon, and wish you were here.

1st. Chase & Status - More than a lot (2008)
2nd. Nipsey Hussle - Victory Lap (2018)

Kaleo - A/B
Audioslave - audioslave
Dre - 2001
Linden park - meteora

Yes Dre 2001 epic at the time

Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Bowie - Low

Both as fresh today as ever

I can safely say that Appetite for Destruction is the album I've listened to the most. Carousel by Subcircus has had well over 20 years love from me as well

Future sound of London - Lifeforms
Funkadelic - Maggot brain

Aphex Twin - Ambient Works 85-92

DJ Shadow - The Private Press

Soundtracks to a digital existence

#OneLife #WhoAreYou 💯❤️
