I have with difficulty registered an account, using an email and password thrice with localbitcoins.com but cannot re-access. I get 503 forbidden. I am able to access localbitcoins.com using tor browser, but the captcha goes in an endless loop.

Clearly localbitcoins may not be illegal but they are making it hard are they not?


Does anyone have info on this website,


I had been unsuccessfully been trying to get hold of $20 on Paxful and chose the option with no passport required. My bank which is a standard English bank and declines every single transaction that goes to buy an amazon gift card etc and they say they dislike bitcoin even though its not illegal and cancel anything they suspect is related

I live in Dublin and wonder if anyone can help me get hold of $20-$50 worth of BTC?

Thanks,

The captcha issue has absolutely nothing to do with Localbitcoins not allowing you to register. That's just google's recaptcha service for you.

As far as I know, even though the regulations are tightening, they are not at the point where you are not allowed to sell/buy BTC without any KYC. I even conducted a trade yesterday on LBC without any issues, without being verified.

However, at a certain point when you hit an unknown threshold of trading volume, LBC will force you to verify and suspend your trading activities until you verify. So just keep that in mind.
The captcha error he do mean is on using up TOR browser not on his typical web browsers like Chrome/Mozilla etc.
If he do got these errors then most likely this is a prohibition or restriction on his country where its already been mentioned above.
On this case,you wont really have any choice but to make alternative if you he's eager on buying up some bitcoins.
