[Question] vendor says paid, chain says confirmed, nobody shipped. now what
vendor says paid, chain says confirmed, nobody shipped. now what. If this has been answered properly somewhere, link me and I will delete.
Asked which networks HJ accepted before ordering and picked the cheapest one at that hour. Saved more than the difference in price.
Confirmation took forty minutes on a busy evening and I had already written half an angry message. Deleted it.
Sent to the right address on the wrong chain years ago. Nothing to be done. That is the lesson I paid for.
Corrections welcome, especially the pedantic ones. Pedantry is how this board earns its reputation.
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.
The sequence that makes this boring, which is the goal.
Ask which networks are accepted before you order. Pick the one with a sensible fee at that hour. Paste the address rather than typing it and verify the first and last several characters. Check whether the chain requires a memo. Send a test amount if the total is large. Wait for confirmations before treating anything as done. Save the transaction hash with the order reference.
Seven steps, most of them seconds long, and between them they eliminate every failure mode that gets posted on this board.
Was there a memo or tag requirement on that chain?
nobody legitimate needs the payment in the next ten minutes
Memo requirements are chain-specific. The chain you are describing does not use one.
fees vary by chain and by hour, not by supplier
Sent a test amount first on a large order. Cost me a fraction of a percent and I have done it every time since.
a payment sent on the wrong network is usually gone
network and address, checked twice, before anything else
gas is not the supplier’s fee
Correcting myself upthread: it was 6 confirmations, not the number I posted, and it settled fine.
confirmations are the only status that means anything
Right, and confirmations are the status. "Sent" means nothing until the chain agrees.
the same token exists on several chains and they are not interchangeable
Got a quote with a fifteen-minute expiry and assumed it was a pressure tactic. It was just a held rate.
