Highlights from this day
- knees_first — slightly off topic but i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything, anyway 20:34
- tga_notice — check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions 20:36
- freeze_thaw — on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily, someone check my working 20:57
- knees_first — has anyone been asked to pay a second time 21:00
- chlorhex — invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send 21:17
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions

has anyone been asked to pay a second time

is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does
triple check it
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
invoice says €120 and my total came out different, whos wrong
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
wait for confirmations
genuine question is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea
update from 26 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed
sent to the wrong network, is there any way back
network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths
anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update
refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
is the ten percent crypto discount standard everywhere now
