Donation questions

I realize this question was asked quite awhile ago, but I think it's a common one so maybe this will help someone else. 

It is NOT a good idea to send directly from Coinbase to DBG. Download yourself a free Electrum wallet and send all your transactions through this wallet first. This extra step will keep you from possibly getting your Coinbase account closed as has happened to members in the past.

Is blockchain a good alternative as well?

Is there going to be a problem sending from Coinbase Wallet? Or just don’t go directly from the exchange? I’m fairly new to it, after realizing a couple of weeks ago that every time I thought “I should have bought crypto” would have been a good time to buy crypto. I really don’t want to get my account closed lol.

You NEVER go from the exchange COINBASE . Always use a secondary external wallet.. They will BAN a account for basically nothing it's crazy . So yes transfer it to the blockchain or a wallet.

Thanks! Coinbase wallet is separate from Coinbase, it’s external- I control the keys. I’m going to re-read the user agreement and make sure, though. 

 
Is it possible to donate by Monero?  It's getting harder to buy BTC without KYC/ID, & my ID is out of date

 
Hello,

I recently just donated in Bitcoin for the opal sponsorship and also sent a message to the admins but just wanted to make sure there’s nothing else I needed to do. I guess I’m just confused on how they will know I sent it. Do I need to provide a screen shot of the transaction or anything? Thanks

Yeah, it's really not external though. Get an Electrum wallet and transfer to that first.

It's not dumb to have questions, especially when you're new. ☺️  This link explains how to donate: https://www.drugbuyersguide.net/index.php?/topic/9845-how-to-donate-to-the-forum/

You can only donate using bitcoin, which is good practice for learning how to use bitcoin. (It's not as hard as it sounds, I promise. I'm the one who started a thread for bitcoin called, "Explain it to me like I'm 5." If I can learn it, anyone can!)

And you will want to donate to the forum. It's a nominal amount that gives you access to a lot more information. (Note: You are not notified when your annual membership is up for renewal, so you'll want to post after you've donated, not only to make sure admin knows, but to keep a record of when you're up for your one-year renewal.

Probably, most of your early questions will be about bitcoin. There's a TON of info in the bitcoin threads. But you just have to jump in and do it. I recommend downloading an Electrum wallet and using Coinbase the first time. You'll have a longer waiting period and lower purchase amount the first time, and Coinbase has higher fees, but they are THE most user-friendly (IMO) for the bitcoin newb.

Bitcoin feels extremely complicated. The theory behind cryptocurrency kind of is complicated. But you don't need to know all that in order to buy bitcoin successfully. That's why the trial run of buying for your donation here is a win-win.

And people here are nice. If you have questions, you'll get help.

Hi to everyone. I’m in a bit of a bind at the moment. The problem is I have no clue how to use BitCoin , & believe me I have tried so hard to get it to work so I can send you guys a Donation. Is there anybody out there who would be willing to help me out with this problem? It would incredibly appreciated. Hope someone answers soon with a solution 

 
@cazza There's lots of Bitcoin threads here to help beginners . Take a time out and read them ,you may have success that way. .

Good Luck

Regards

 
Like @Biskobro said, theres numerous helpful threads in the Bitcoin section including a couple walkthroughs.  Most people find Cashapp pretty easy if its available in your area.  I would start there!  Good luck!

 
If you don't have an ID then a bitcoin ATM could be an option as many do not require it. You will need a public address to transfer your bitcoin into. There's a lot of information online, matter of fact I just learned that some ATMs provide a "paper wallet" for those who don't come prepared with a scan of their wallet.

Don't ask me what that is as I didn't get that deep. I see a lot of people overcomplicate the process. It's basically just getting yourself a wallet to store and send your bitcoins and then purchasing some coin to put in it.

Anyone can do it, you don't need to have any special knowledge besides being able to read. Dive on in and if you get stuck along the way just post what your problem is and someone will help you through it. You can always tag me or Biskobro or any active senior member such as the wise and helpful @Doomkitty and if we don't know the answer we will try to help you find it.

 
Hi it's rec my sponsor has ran out  I will donate asap probably in the next few hours.

  1. Strawhat7 @ Strawhat7: Yo, whatever happened to Mr. Black? Just got a rando email from him after ghosting me like a year and a half ago
  2. LW815 @ LW815: Know what’s really going on in somebody else’s head or how much they’re really dealing with and feel like they’re left with no other options. Been a very sad few days but 2 complete (irl anyway) strangers cared enough about what I was going through to talk to me about it, though they owe me nothing and have no reason to help my personal pain other than the kindness in their own hearts. Just shows that this place is a real community, not just a forum of people who only care about themselves.
  3. LW815 @ LW815: Was nodding in/out the entire time writing those shouts and spparently was fully out sending the last one lol. But II find it ‘uplifting’ as two people I’ve never actually met and only know the others online presence through subscriptions, who I have a better chance of getting a handy J from Jesus Christ himself, both were so quick to share their own experience and wise words and assurances that things will look up and not to feel guilty or be mad at somebody for going that route - as you never
  4. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 meh, same difference. they both got blacklisted on here. wouldn't be the first time a rogue shop sent out unsolicited comms after the fact.
  5. MOD @ MOD: Hello @everyone
  6. LW815 @ LW815: Own personal experience with this kind of this type kind of situation and sympathized with my pain when I really just needed somebody to talk to. Both went out of their way to help a stranger in a time of need when I really needed somebody, and body to talk to. MM
  7. LW815 @ LW815: Sent a simple conf email and I just dropped a ball on them. I really just needed to let it out, didn’t expect them to reply in such a thoughtful way that it drastically changed the rest of my day and mindset for the bette . Above and beyond - and the last night while chatting with another that I knew had at least once one child,, so i wished them a belated happy Father’s Day, which again caused me to spill it all to them and again received the most thoughtful and kind response, as well as their-
  8. LW815 @ LW815: They didn’t need to. They could have just continued on with the nature or the main purpose of what the relationship between us is, I didn’t really have anybody else to let it out to at the time and they both went far beyond what I’d expect. Not that I’d assumed they’re cold/A-holes - it was just a lot from somebody who’s technically a competent stranger. A very close friend of mine committed suicide on Father’s Day and iwas emotionally wrecked witih nobody to talk to, and the first author just
  9. LW815 @ LW815: @Mokachin0 not really uplifting in the normal sense, but two popular authors on here took the time out of their likely very busy days to not only read my massive walls of text, but both also replied with the most kind, thoughtful and positive responses when I randomly dumped my personal problems into their laps
  10. H @ hotdog45: I have never ordered mags from him I meant
  11. H @ hotdog45: @xenxra I thought that too but after digging on the site it is chemical cabinet. Either way I deleted the email. I have ordered mags from him, but I thought you guys should know he's reaching out to people again. After reading the thread if anyone gets an email from him I would suggest doing the same.
  12. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 isn't that ghost? he threw his rep in the trash and got blacklisted
  13. O @ oh be g: thank you! hopefully this will inpsirw someone!
  14. M @ Mokachin0: @oh be g check your dms!
  15. O @ oh be g: these were instilled in me by a coworker who has had about the worst trauma experiences in life and he is still the most positive upbeat guy ive met
  16. O @ oh be g: btw these are actual good practices and help greatly if u form as a habit
  17. H @ hotdog45: Anyone else get an email from schedwick666 I haven't opened it. I remember he was on here but I cannot recall what happened
  18. O @ oh be g: and always remember to use any .... whateere it mayy be safely ad rememeber those who have passed. keep safe in their honor
  19. O @ oh be g: ill play! wake up every morning knowing its a gift to wake up!
