Highlights from this day
- queue_position — i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message 22:10
- queue_position — i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything 22:29
- queue_position — coming back after 9 months, has anything changed on fees 22:33
- tail_factor — nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this, i think 23:00
on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
genuine question i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice

check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that

do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
triple check it
