paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it

Highlights from this day
- cat_on_the_tray — i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice 20:51
- amsterdam_aliquot — i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time, thats just me work out the network fee before you take the ten percent… 22:04
- amsterdam_aliquot — how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment 22:08
- per_mg_pete — if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel, not advice obviously 22:14

refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
thats a scam pattern
wait for confirmations
option A: 5 x 10mg @ 38 + 25 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option B: 5 x 10mg @ 34 + 45 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option C: 10 x 10mg @ 32 + 25 ship = 345 / 100mg = 3.45 per mgwhat happens if the price moves between invoice and payment
whats a reasonable network fee to accept
discount is standard now

work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
triple check it

on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that
if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel, not advice obviously
check first and last four
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
stablecoin or not while an order is pending
