[Discussion] the crypto advice in here is 2 years out of date
Something I keep coming back to: the crypto advice in here is 2 years out of date. Pulling the figures out of the title: 2 years. All of it is written down as it happened rather than reconstructed. A test transaction costs one extra network fee and verifies the address, the network and the recipient’s crediting…
A token symbol identifies an asset, not a network. The same symbol commonly exists on several chains with incompatible address formats, and sending across that boundary is generally unrecoverable.
Was there a memo or tag requirement on that chain?
Agreed that quote expiry is ordinary. Rates move and a time-limited quote is not a pressure tactic on its own.
Escrow is not standard in this space. Wanting it is reasonable; expecting it as default is not.
A token symbol identifies an asset, not a network.
Disagreeing here: that is a network fee at a busy hour and it is not the supplier’s doing.
