whats a reasonable network fee to accept
i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time

is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does

i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything

RR

while im here a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that

nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this

PP

do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution

BF

the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume

PP

refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one

slightly off topic but a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need, thats one data point

how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment

CO

there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one

i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice
