[Question] how do you actually verify confirmations
how do you actually verify confirmations. If this has been answered properly somewhere, link me and I will delete.
Asked which networks CPC accepted before ordering and picked the cheapest one at that hour. Saved more than the difference in price.
Confirmation took forty minutes on a busy evening and I had already written half an angry message. Deleted it.
Sent to the right address on the wrong chain years ago. Nothing to be done. That is the lesson I paid for.
If somebody has the same thing measured a different way, post it next to mine and we will see whether they agree.
best — the order this archive was captured in
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.
Pasted rather than typed the address, then checked the first and last six characters. Habit now.
keep the hash, it is the only receipt that exists
This. A test transaction on a large order costs a fraction of the fee and removes the whole class of risk.
Wallet address redacted from the post above. Hashes are fine here; addresses are not.
Yes — the same token symbol on two chains catches people constantly and it is unrecoverable.
Small fix — that is the network fee, not a supplier charge. The distinction matters for the complaint you are making.
the same token exists on several chains and they are not interchangeable
Sent a test amount first on a large order. Cost me a fraction of a percent and I have done it every time since.
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.
confirmations are the only status that means anything
Correction: that address format is not the chain you named. Worth checking before anybody follows this.
Memo requirements are chain-specific. The chain you are describing does not use one.
