[Complaint/Warning] I am SO sick of Localbitcoins.com!!!

What do you guys use? I'm so sick of lbc, I can't take it anymore.

Nobody in my area sells them locally Every other method is too overpriced, so I'm left with cash deposit. Even with cash deposit, unless I sit and jump on a good listing when it pops up(which can take all day) and buy before it's gone, I end up loosing $20-40 each time. Western union charges $25, so it doesn't really make a difference. I'm wary of using coinbase, circle or coincafe because (while 1 I signed up for them and was never verified, I think because of a mispelling in my last name on my card) but, I'm either ordering very frequently or in bulk, so I'd like to keep it relatively anonymous, but I can't take these fees anymore. What do you guys use?

Us LBC guys know you addicts need the anonymous BTC for a drug fix and we charge accordingly.

Coinbase or circle

You pay a price for anonymity. If you're buying in bulk that should be your main concern, and if you're buying in bulk you're making money to cover these losses. Also, if you haven't noticed, the difference between the actual market price of coin and the cash deposit price widens during times of a rise in the price of btc.

tl;dr deal with it, you're buying in bulk. Just find a cheaper supplier

i use localbitcoins because its fast as shit. I don't know how you're having a problem with finding a good listing, and since bitcoin tanked around $200, its been super easy to find listings ever for small amounts. I do a cash deposit, money on markets after tumbling within an hour and a half. Like fucking clockwork. I use instant release vendors and get my shit literally seconds after I deposit, before I even get out of the bank parking lot. Between the steps from deposit to market, i lose about $15, which is why I buy $20 over. If you're losing $20-$40 on a deal then you're loosing the wrong people, or you don't have a rep good enough for good exchangers.

Either way, you're the one putting yourself in this situation, because I've been using it for a long time, and I don't have these problems at all. local

One time LBTC went down for like four days had 2k in wallet, 4 days later, they were back up. still 2k in wallet. Them's good people at localbitcoins.

Right now ( I just checked) there's listing for cash deposit from $10 and up from a reputable guy I use, so wtf are you talking about? You are either trolling or are too dumb to use the system bitcoin is 295.00 now, listings up for 313 per coin, how you loosing 40 bucks?

I'm either ordering very frequently or in bulk tripping on 40 bucks on a bulk order?

LOL, stfu.....................

This is my 2 cents: go ahead and use coinbase or circle (though I hear circle is a bit more secure) but send your coins through a couple of different wallets AND a cleaner like Helix before you put it in a market. Make sure the wallets you send it to aren't linked to you though. Just use a disposable blockchain account that you created through tor and DON'T link any email address to it.

Sending it through a couple of different wallets should be enough for plausible deniability, but you want more than that and that's where Helix comes in. But you ALSO don't want to rely only on Helix especially when no one knows exactly how it works, so you still need to run it through a couple of different wallets first. If you're extra-paranoid, make sure you send at least one of the blockchain transactions with the Shared Coin feature.

Why don't you fuckers just use kraken...

I use coin base but have to wait 4 days for it to clear which is fucking annoying! Go to Hack forums -> Marketplace -> Currency Exchange & you will find some users selling BTC for payment via PayPal, Western Union etc. same user may charge anywhere from 10%-20% though & be very cautious who you do an exchange with, look for users with good rep.


[1 Points] Phuckin:

I use Coinbase, but since I don't have a Visa credit card it takes 4 days to process the bitcoins. Is there anything faster?


[1 Points] Zombie21st:

Libertyx is cool but the African batch charges me 5 dollars on every 300 dollar transaction I do. Just Cuz..:.. Ima have a word with her next time.


[1 Points] sidlepie:

Surprised to hear no one else used bitquick.co. It uses bank deposit, rates are reasonable to me and it's within 3 hours. They require id only on suspicious or large transactions, personally I don't mind that. I've ran a few thousand threw it, works great. I wouldn't put more than 7-8000 a year though unless your taxes are adjusted for it.


[1 Points] minderbinder141:

try cashtocrypto.com


[1 Points] None:

I live in the UK and have never had any problems with LBC. The prices are reasonable and the transactions have always been smooth. The only thing that is getting on my nerves is the ID checking, that is annoying. Yeah, it helps stop them from getting scammed but every damn vendor is asking for a photo ID and sometimes they ask you to put it up to your damn face.


[1 Points] BeerSuxPotRulz:

LibertyX! I think it's still in it's "hidden gem" phase right now, but once it takes off I think it's what everyone will be using. Ultra-convenient, and no fee on your first $1K (I think after that the fee is only like 1% or something like that)

And it's INSTANT! :D


[1 Points] wizvrd:

you can buy certain cards for btc, even though the value of 1 btc is higher but it's worth it if you wanna stay safe


[1 Points] reddituser100101001:

I have my coins on lbc and mycelium trader listed at market value -5%. I can't even give mine away in the city I live in (100k+ people).

I met a local bitcoin guy, after that I text him, pay via paypal and he trasfers me. No local bitcoins anymore but I trust the guy.

Why? Here in Mexico vendors there are great, you go deposit in an 711/OXXO and they give you the bitcoin, no questions.

Extremely easy.


[1 Points] Vendor_BBMC:

Every marketplace should give free cash vendor accounts to anyone with 10 purchases.

You sell, on Agora, "$100 in the mail" uaing escrow. When it arrives you get your bitcoin and somebody like me has sold bitcoin, without going off-market to an exchange.

Agora gets its 4% twice

I don't get this b/c when I've used LBC, esp with cash deposit, its fast as hell. Ads are everywhere. Maybe you live in a small town with limited bank branches b/c otherwise, there are lots of ads for national chain banks. I've never spent more than maybe an hour or two finding an ad and getting the coin. I think the very first time I used LBC there were limits on what I could buy. B/c I remember I'd see an ad before logging in, then log in and couldn't find the ad. SO I think some buyers will put limits if you don't have any transactions. But after I got a few, it became really easy to find traders.

There is a premium of course. Its the price of not having it tied at all to your idenitty. It is what it is.

Use Coinbase then lmao
