Highlights from this day
  • maintenance_mo — how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid update from 26 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed 21:17
  • maintenance_mo — check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions 21:20
  • marrow.mod — do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution, i have it written down somewhere 21:25
  • marrow.mod — is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea 21:27
  • maintenance_mo — do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work 21:32

follow up coming back after 19 months, has anything changed on fees

keep the reference

ok so what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment

the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved

do you check the whole address or just the ends

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

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

do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution, i have it written down somewhere

is the ten percent crypto discount standard everywhere now

network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths

MM

a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
