Greenpoint seeds!!

One little thing I wanted to revisit was my bad experience with Coinbase. I still haven’t gotten my money back. There’s now a 3 day hold on my withdrawal. I had to direct my bank to never approve any transaction from them just in case they decided to keep my info. I looked them up on Better Business Bureau to file a complaint and saw that they are not BBB accredited and have an F rating, as well as almost 700 complaints against them. This is the first time I’ve looked up a company on BBB and then not said my piece about them. I knew it would be pointless. I want to be clear that I don’t blame GPS for this in any way. Shady payment processors take advantage of merchants and customers alike. Once I reverted to my normal method for paying with crypto everything went super smooth.

I want to suggest an alternative, which is to set up a wallet on Bitcoin.com and put instructions on the site for depositing payments into that wallet. Nirvana uses bitcoin.com and that’s actually how I discovered this method that works so well. Coinbase is now confirmed super shady. Keep in mind that this was a result of my attempt to use Coinbase like I use square cash. I didn’t see any way to pay with crypto in one step and coinbase’s processor tries to direct you into opening an account and immediately depositing money. Square cash is so much better. Do they have a crypto processor for online shops? IME Square has by far the best financial platforms. Blows PayPal and everyone else out of the water.

It sounds like a lot of complaints about Coinbase are because of the holds associated with bank transfers (ACH). If you link your Coinbase account to a Credit/Debit card, any BTC you purchase is available immediately for Crypto purchases. I had no troubles purhcasing via Coinbase, other than a transaction that took a while to be verified, but that's not Coinbase's fault (it happens sometimes when verifying blockchains).

Not trying to take away from your experiences, it definitely sounds frustrating, but just wanting to offer another POV on the subject.

Cheers,

Yeah that's a good alternative. I hate coinbase with a passion. Lots of speculation about market fixing and some other things they have, are, or might be doing.. I also don't like or agree with bitcoin itself, It's slow, its expensive, its not secure or anonymous at all. I really only deal with Monero as it makes sense, it's pretty fast, and is basically completely fungible and anonymous. I do have some holding in some other coins too. That being said, I've had an account at coinbase since they came out and haven't ever had any issues, but I don't use it unless I'm wanting to buy some ETH or use it to cash out, but then its an ~8 day wait just to get the ETH so you have to know what you need well in advance.

I messaged GPS about maybe looking at coinpayments.net instead of coinbase as then they could take almost any crypto then, and still use coinbase to cash out to whatever fiat. Attitude and a couple other banks use it and I've used it for years to collect donations and such so I know its legit. However they don't have a way to buy crypto on their platform, just a way to cash out any of them you may receive. So you'd still need to get the crypto from elsewhere. Sadness.

On the flipside, if you already have ETH/LTC/BTC then you can send it to coinbase and have it available within minutes to spend at GPS or wherever.
But whatever you do, NEVER leave any crypto on an exchange, coinbase or otherwise. Always transfer it to your personal secure wallet if you have any amount you wouldn't want to randomly lose overnight.

I haven't tried or heard of square before, will look into that.

@MtRainDog
That's definitely an option but some banks/cards ban coinbase/buying any crypto whatsoever. Sometimes bank transfer is the only option.

I only used my CC. I gave them my bank account number to open the account but used my card. The big problem with them is that they give you no information on these holds beforehand. No warning that there will be hidden fees either, but that’s why they’re called “hidden fees”. There isn’t even any fine print on the mobile app.

That’s interesting. You probably know Square by it’s colloquial name “cash app”. You can transfer crypto into and out of the square account. Withdrawals and deposits are available as soon as blockchain confirms. Crypto purchases from your cc are available immediately. I probably don’t even need my wallet on Bitcoin.com but I’ve had it forever and it’s easy.

Yep, that's the complaint I see over and over again. I've only linked a CC (no bank acct linked ever) and I can purchase BTC immediately and spend it immediately, no issues at all. I did also link my PayPal to it for withdrawls, and a withdraw (to my PayPal) takes only a couple minutes to complete.

Any discount codes for greenpoint

Thanks but I think I’ll wait that code is like 5% won’t even cover shipping. Can’t believe I missed out on the Black Friday one 50% off smh

And the cyber Monday one for 40%. That ended yesterday. I’m sure there will be a Christmas sale and you’ll get your good deal before too long.

Also I just read in another post that the feminized strain I got (ice cream punch) was developed by another person called “heisenbeans”. Being from Albuquerque I love the name. I also like to learn as much as I can about what I’m growing, so if anyone has some backstory on this guy and his gear, I’d be really interested to learn it. It still hasn’t been a full year since I started growing so yeah I’m a noob :/

EDIT: whoohoo! My bank sided with me on my dispute against Coinbase and credited one of the transactions. I wonder if the Coinbase refund will go through too now. I might actually end up profiting from this shitshow.

He is a breeder that makes some of the seeds you see on GPS. Some of the strains on his site are the same, or really similar:

Heisenbeans

Cannabis Seeds Direct from the Breeder

heisenbeans.com

His Adub S1 is really popular.

Of all the "purps" GPS just dropped, the Ice Cream Punch stood out to me too, I love Cookies X GDP crosses! It should be similar to my Sin Mintz. Also really wanted that Purple MAC, and there happens to be 1 in stock at them moment on GPS, but at full price... ouch. Someone better snag them before I do!

 

[TerrapinBlazin]

Hell yeah thanks for the info.

How was the ice cream punch? That’s one of the ones I wanted. Is there any vanilla flavor to it or is grape.

I’ll tell you in about 4 months, lol. It did not appear to be the most potent of the feminized seeds — I rarely purchase a strain for its THC, but it did appear to be the best tasting, and one of the most colorful. I’m hoping that the yield will be decent with the Larry OG and GDP genetics. I make rosin and a strain’s ability to dump a 20+ percent yield of terpy goodness is way more important than the THC content of the bud. Most rosin is about 80% regardless of what strain it was made from, but the right strain makes all the difference with flavor and yield. I bought the punch and the orange blossom special specifically for making rosin. I’ll start logs on all four strains once I put them under the HPS, and I’m hoping to post a whole bunch of killer squish porn on here and reddit.

[TerrapinBlazin]

Wow he’s got some nice gear too. I’m guessing that chucker’s paradise site is more for breeding specific discussion instead of general cultivation?

I’ve got a big bottle of really good colloidal silver in my first aid kit and I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t given a lot of thought to doing my own chucks, but I’m not sure that the amount of work involved would be adequately rewarding — at this point anyway. I would be worried about bunk pollen hanging around and contaminating future attempts. I grow mushrooms and know a thing or two about sterile technique and I’m still apprehensive about trying it.

On that note, what’s the chance of getting a really good pheno with an S1 cross? I know cannabis only self pollinates in extreme conditions, but I read that silver inhibits the production of female flowers so that male flowers form by default, instead of from stress. Seems like the effect would be different, more like how naturally self pollinating plants work. I’m curious to learn a lot more.

He makes all the fem seeds you see at gps.
He threw the adub mother out due to too many intersex issues when breeding it.
You want to see what he does just open YouTube and search the same name.

Gps will be were you find the new drops

but check there from time to time to never know what might be up

 

[TerrapinBlazin]

OBS just sprouted and pebble pusher is coming along nicely. This part is a lot harder with reg seeds not knowing what I have yet.
