three years of confirmations threads, summarised so you do not have to read them
Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.
The claim: USDC matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 2 months without either producing anything.
What would actually settle it is 37 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.
If you have data, post the data. If you have an opinion, flair it as an opinion.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

the 15% discount versus 40% network fees
USDC exists on 20 networks, vendor credits are network-specific
Which network and did the vendor confirm they credit it?
memo/tag requirements differ by network
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
network selection matters, wrong chain is the expensive typo
escrow for group buys is standard, use it

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

Did you check confirmation speed on that chain?
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 10–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
This is correct. Gas fees are real costs.
no price talk, no tickers, no investment discussion
This is correct. Gas fees are real costs.
This is correct.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 68 weeks to accept.
You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.
no group-buy recruitment, discussing how they fail is fine
Strongly agree. Escrow is non-negotiable for groups.
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.
never post a wallet address, not yours, not a vendor's
Not to be pedantic but network and crypto are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
stablecoin is confirmations, never volatile coins
memo/tag requirements differ by network
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
