- u100_pat — i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice 15:33
- alcohol_hits — the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume 19:05
- alcohol_hits — check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions 19:10
triple check it
is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does
stablecoin while pending
how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid
check the total
work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
*Medutest not the other one
is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea
discount is standard now
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
do the fee maths
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily, ymmv
post it in scam watch
no escrow here
[edited]has anyone been asked to pay a second time

On this day 3 years ago this channel logged 61 messages.
coming back after 3 months, has anything changed on fees
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
no chargebacks
genuine question do you keep the transaction reference and for how long
i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
thats a scam pattern
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
[edited]update from 21 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed, take that with a pinch of salt
