Payment mechanics at a practical level: network fees and confirmation times, why a wrong-network transfer is unrecoverable, checking the first and last four characters of an address every single time, stablecoin versus volatile assets while an order is pending, invoice totals that do not match, and the fact that there are no chargebacks here.
Pinned in this channel
Check the first four and the last four characters of the address. Every time. A wrong-network or wrong-address transfer is gone and nobody can get it back for you.
The room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. Any member who offers to is speaking only for themselves and you are on your own.
