unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about confirmations are guesswork
unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about confirmations are guesswork. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down. Got a quote with a fifteen-minute expiry and assumed it was a pressure tactic. It was just a held rate. Sent to the right address on the wrong chain years ago.…
Network fees are set by chain congestion at the time of sending. They are paid to the network, not to the recipient, and they vary by hour as well as by chain.
Disagree — a quote expiry is normal when a rate is being held. Pressure to decide immediately is a different thing.
fees vary by chain and by hour, not by supplier

amara_kuipers is right about confirmations. "Sent" is not a status.
Is the fee you are describing the network fee or something the supplier added?
keep the hash, it is the only receipt that exists

This is the check that prevents the only genuinely unrecoverable mistake in this thread.
