[Question] does anyone keep a separate wallet just for this
Genuine question, and the title is the question: does anyone keep a separate wallet just for this.
Sent to the right address on the wrong chain years ago. Nothing to be done. That is the lesson I paid for.
Got a quote with a fifteen-minute expiry and assumed it was a pressure tactic. It was just a held rate.
Pasted rather than typed the address, then checked the first and last six characters. Habit now.
Ask me anything specific. Anything general I will probably get wrong.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Rate quotes expire because the underlying rate moves. A short expiry is ordinary; urgency about your decision is a separate signal and should be read separately.

Adding the cheap insurance — test amount first on anything large.
Nearly sent on the wrong network. The token symbol was identical and the address format was the only clue.
Some chains require a memo or destination tag to route funds to the right account. Omitting it on those chains is one of the more common ways payments go astray.

This is the check that prevents the only genuinely unrecoverable mistake in this thread.
Yes — the same token symbol on two chains catches people constantly and it is unrecoverable.
Agreed that quote expiry is ordinary. Rates move and a time-limited quote is not a pressure tactic on its own.

nabila_espinoza is right about confirmations. "Sent" is not a status.
Asked which networks HJ accepted before ordering and picked the cheapest one at that hour. Saved more than the difference in price.
gas is not the supplier’s fee
Small fix — that is the network fee, not a supplier charge. The distinction matters for the complaint you are making.
This. A test transaction on a large order costs a fraction of the fee and removes the whole class of risk.

Disagreeing here: that is a network fee at a busy hour and it is not the supplier’s doing.
