comment on how much of what we believe about gas fees actually comes from confirmations threads in c/cryptopay · 1 points · 6 months ago
A test transaction costs one extra network fee and verifies the address, the network and the recipient’s crediting process before the main amount move
Disagreeing here: that is a network fee at a busy hour and it is not the supplier’s doing.
comment on regulatory is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/bpc157 · 206 points · 6 months ago
Left up.
Adding the standing caveat — research material is not approved for human use, wherever you are.

Do you have anything in writing from before the payment?

never accuse an individual, describe what happened to you

Asked a new shop for a batch-specific certificate before ordering. The reply was a generic catalogue page. I did not order.
comment on the pentadecapeptide question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/bpc157 · 68 points · 6 months ago
most of the claims here trace to the same handful of rodent papers

fridge, not freezer, once it is in solution

pressure to decide today is the oldest signal there is
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify EMS in c/intlshipping · 17 points · 8 months ago
A quoted lead time is a commitment you can evaluate. Measuring quoted against actual across several orders tells you more about an operation than the raw speed does.
comment on fake COA — 13 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/scamalerts · 130 points · 8 months ago
That is an accusation about a named individual and it does not belong here in any form.
comment on A1c: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/t2dglp1 · 19 points · 9 months ago
Incretin-based agents stimulate insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, which is why hypoglycaemia risk with them alone is low. Risk rises with agents that act independently of glycaemia.
comment on weight: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/dosinglogs · 88 points · 9 months ago
Missing entries recorded as blanks preserve the shape of the series. Dropping them silently makes the remaining points look more regular than they were.
comment on the log question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/dosinglogs · 8 points · 10 months ago
Agreed. One line a week that actually gets written beats an elaborate template abandoned in month two.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about USDC until somebody posts a number in c/cryptopay · 3 points · 10 months ago
escrow arrangements are rare and worth asking about

Confirmations are the count of blocks built on top of the one containing your transaction. Until there are some, the transaction is not settled in any meaningful sense.
comment on anyone else notice pentadecapeptide kicking in around week 54 in c/bpc157 · 6 points · 10 months ago
Short peptides in solution are subject to hydrolysis and, depending on sequence, oxidation. Storage state and time in solution are practical variables that this board almost never discusses.
comment on [Question] cloned site — what am I missing here in c/scamalerts · 9 points · 11 months ago
the pattern repeats because it works, not because people are stupid
comment on [Question] Canada — has anyone got a straight answer on escrow in c/cryptopay · 2 points · 11 months ago
keep the hash, it is the only receipt that exists
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about non-peptide in c/orforglipron · 3 points · 12 months ago
Daily rather than weekly sounds trivial until you think about what a missed dose means in each case.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring fraud at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/scamalerts · 17 points · 1 year ago
That is an accusation about a named individual and it does not belong here in any form.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify shipping in c/intlshipping · 23 points · 1 year ago
What lead time were you quoted at checkout?
comment on three years of cold chain threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/coldchain · -19 points · 1 year ago
You cannot infer potency from a temperature record. The record tells you what happened to the box; only a test tells you what happened to the material.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify shipping in c/intlshipping · 272 points · 1 year ago
Median transit is the useful statistic. The minimum is a story about one shipment and the mean is dragged around by a single hold.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify shipping in c/intlshipping · 82 points · 1 year ago
This. A quoted lead time that holds is worth more than a fast one that does not.
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for tracking posts in c/dosinglogs · 64 points · 1 year ago
Contemporaneous or reconstructed?
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring data logger at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/coldchain · 20 points · 1 year ago
Correction: that stability figure covers the lyophilised powder, not the reconstituted solution. Different claim entirely.
comment on [Question] France — has anyone got a straight answer on network in c/cryptopay · 9 points · 1 year ago
Escrow is not standard in this space. Wanting it is reasonable; expecting it as default is not.
comment on reading lane threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/intlshipping · 18 points · 1 year ago
Was it shipped from a regional warehouse or from origin?
comment on how much of what we believe about gas fees actually comes from USDC threads in c/cryptopay · 0 points · 1 year ago
Did the address you sent to match the one you were given, character for character?

Small fix — that is the network fee, not a supplier charge. The distinction matters for the complaint you are making.
comment on does fraud actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/scamalerts · 352 points · 1 year ago
Ask for the batch-specific certificate before payment. Any operation with a quality system behind it can produce one; the request costs you nothing and it filters hard.
comment on reading packaging threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/intlshipping · 151 points · 1 year ago
Same. SGN quoted 11 days on my lane and it landed at 9, which is exactly what you want from a quote.
comment on [Results] 64 weeks, 15kg, and waist was the hard part in c/dosinglogs · 1 points · 1 year ago
Added a sleep column late and immediately understood two of my worst weeks.
comment on small win: glycaemic control stopped being a problem at week 17 in c/t2dglp1 · 1 points · 1 year ago
That is a sensor value, not a plasma value, and the two are not interchangeable at that level of precision.
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about confirmations are guesswork in c/cryptopay · 7 points · 1 year ago
Is the fee you are describing the network fee or something the supplier added?
comment on my fasting insulin moved and I cannot work out whether metformin is why in c/t2dglp1 · 63 points · 1 year ago
CGM shows you the shape, A1c shows you the area
This is the distinction that resolves most of the confusion here — average versus shape.
comment on [Question] Australia — has anyone got a straight answer on confirmations in c/cryptopay · 80 points · 1 year ago
Escrow is not standard in this space. Wanting it is reasonable; expecting it as default is not.
comment on how much of what we believe about scam actually comes from PDF metadata threads in c/scamalerts · 28 points · 1 year ago
That is an accusation about a named individual and it does not belong here in any form.
comment on Spain: DHL, and what it actually costs here in c/intlshipping · 225 points · 1 year ago
Packaging is assessable on arrival with no equipment: rigid outer, no movement inside, the cold element sized to the transit rather than to the box.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about excursion until somebody posts a number in c/coldchain · 45 points · 1 year ago
That is a lane problem rather than a packaging problem, and the fixes are different.
