- baseline_drift — is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea 15:12
- baseline_drift — i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time 16:16
- evidence_or_not — sorry to jump in nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this 16:22
has anyone been asked to pay a second time
work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it, i have it written down somewhere
whats a reasonable network fee to accept

a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need
if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel
Inter-lab diff for lot G-0641: 97.4% vs 99.2%. Within expected range.
i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
wait for confirmations

thats a scam pattern
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions

do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
check first and last four

update from 25 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
do you keep the transaction reference and for how long
invoice says $72 and my total came out different, whos wrong
discount is standard now
