Hello all, I've been a member of the forums for almost 3 years now and donated a couple times when you could do it through PayPal.  Well I'm unable to use bitcoin because the wife says so and I have to abide.  Because of this I have been locked out of alot of the sections since December or January.  I've been using the same sy vendor the whole time I've been on the forum and everything continues to go well but it is alittle unsettling not being able to read and give feedback on the vendors.  I guess my question is will there ever be another way to donate to the forums other then bitcoin?  It would ultimately be great if there was another option.

 
@Mike1982, what a good husband you are, I love that you abide and respect your wife. I understand because I was hacked and I bought bitcoins that mysteriously disappeared from my electrum wallet. So I also long for the days of paypal, but Im sure because of the anonymity of it @Admin is trying to protect us! Have you ever thought of getting a prefilled visa or other credit card and trying that way. Cant you buy bitcoin cards, I know im so out of the loop, I actually had someone do it for me because after I was hacked I will never put a credit card on any device I use except prepaid cards I get filled. Do you think the wife would let you do that? I know it’s by far the safest thing for me! I had to get three credit cards from my bank because of fraudulent activity from the UK of all places! I wont even activate the last one! As @wait4it told me, not in same words, but how we long for the naive innocence wevused to have, now hackers are so above the game. All these advancements in technology are great, but theres a down side to it as well! Wishing you the best check back in and see if she will let you try that! Good luck gentleman!

Admin posted on an earlier thread that his Paypal was shut down over some wise guys who signed up as sponsors  to get access to vendors,( most likely SY), and than did Paypal chargebacks. PP shut him down...I can relate with chargebacks, as I use to be a Powerseller on Flea-Bay for years. I agree though...Most of the world is not setup for Bitcoin, and to jump through the hoops just to make a small contribution takes effort. In the world of "swipe and pay" that we live in, convenience is almost more important than the money that is spent.  I know for a fact that this site would Quadruple it's financial support, if there were an easier way to pay. I understand anonymity, but being anonymous as an admin of this board is not a crime. However, there could be other reasons admin prefers to remain anonymous....It doesn't seem at this point, that there is an easy solution.

 
Thank you @Heavenlee for the suggestions, I may try to get my wife on board with that.  It's hard enough to get her to understand why I need to order this way to begin with.  She is just of the mindset that bitcoin is shady and I cant say I blame her to be honest.  @yellowbelly I can completely understand the chargeback stuff as well because I have sold and continue to sell on Ebay and have lost alot of money from scammers. I do understand why the administrators of this forum are doing what they are doing. And I know that their PayPal account got shut down because of chargeback stuff. I just really wish there was some sort of alternative other than Bitcoin. I don't know how hard it would be but even if I could just send somebody a Western Union payment or something like that it would be great. It's not just so I can get access to certain parts of the form I do really appreciate this website and this forum and the people in it and I want to support the cause. Basically finding the site has been a lifesaver for me. And it's getting harder and harder to get doctors to give us what we need. A lady I work with, her son broke his collarbone two weeks ago and they gave him Tylenol for the pain.

I agree Mike. Bitcoin is definitely not very convenient for 99% of the world. I'm sure Admin has his reasons though, for it being the only acceptable payment. The government crackdown is getting ridiculous!  I have a local contact that I get dros from, and I just went to grab them today. The script he normally gets got cut in half and now he has to pick them up twice a month. So I received half of what I prepaid for. Fortunately the guy I get them from is a friend, and will not screw me, but it just goes to show how bad everything is getting, even when it comes to valid scripts. Thanks Trump!! 

 
I’m making a screenshotted, step-by-step guide for this BTC procedure. Not sure how to submit it here-tried to notify mods @2earlsand @PTFCbut haven’t heard back.

Maybe I’ll just finish making it and save it in several formats. When I learn how to send it here to post, I’ll do so.

We need widespread Monero adoption, and Monero credit cards, and more people using those square things for their mobile devices. But mostly the first things. 100% private transactions is what the world needs for EVERYTHING and for extreme progress to happen. But I think it will, things have been improving and picking up at a rapid rate, and with the way curves work things should be changing drastically in our lifetimes.

Drugbuyersguide Shoutbox
  1. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Yeah we're keeping it here. Thanks everyone <3
  2. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: nah if mods say you can keep it to shoutbox, go for it
  3. L @ Layne_Cobain: Sports FTW 🙌 @tiquanunderwood 😃 , but yeah guess we can make a thread or wutever for our more in depth “coverage”
  4. Z @ zdaBa: (y) (y) (y)
  5. iamgroot @ iamgroot: Here is our new official email address from now on. support@mediattics.com
  6. iamgroot @ iamgroot: Some customers were scammed by someone using a nearly identical email address. So I’m planning to change my email to one that uses my official website domain, so it can’t be easily copied and everyone can stay safe from scammers. Here is our new official email address from now on. support@mediattics.com
  7. fyjclol @ fyjclol: Also wondering what happened to the guy with the btc predictions. And +1 for fooseball
  8. L @ LW815: 90% of the time when I see it, it’s being used for exactly what it’s not supposed to be used for(with the exception of you and Layne talking fooseball)
  9. L @ LW815: I’d say it’s fair enough game to discuss whatever you wanna discuss(within the rules ofc) and if people don’t like it oh well. It’s not like the shoutbox is constantly popping off with other discussion lol
  10. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Well sorry if I bother anyone with my sports talk :) much love to all. Happy holidays.
  11. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Shout box is for sports, hey, Happy Thanksgiving. It’s not for those other things people like to bring up. Please use or start a thread in the appropriate place.
  12. L @ LW815: Better to push other worse discussions out of sight IMO and see random sport shit, but also kinda makes it hard to have that content removed if need be. I don’t know how to view the entire shoutbox recent history but I know it’s possible lol so it’s both a good and bad thing tbh
  13. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: exactly
  14. L @ LW815: I agree @Ketmaster but their lengthy sport discussions usually tend to happen at convenient times, like when somebody is talking about or asking things that the shoutbox also isn’t meant for(that are worse than random sport talks)
  15. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: I appreciate the good vibes but I agree sports stuff should like be in a thread or PM or something, not a sports guy so it is kinda like wtf is happening people are messaging each other in a shoutbox
  16. T @ timyboy: Where is the guy with the BTC predictions?
  17. F @ Floaty: like them using the shout box tbh, its appreciated good vibes. Not sure if the box has another purpose seems like its the correct use though
  18. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Yeah I'll start a thread for us in the Sports section later this morning.
  19. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Yeah I hated Canales' playcalling. Run the ball. That's what 9ers did since they knew it'd be that type of game. But at the same time, the panthers have a young core, and that was their biggest game in years lol. I understand MNF throwing off the passing game sync and shit just from being hyped up.
  20. L @ luquitoad: Yall should start a sports thread and keep it out of the shoutbox..... just a suggestion .
