Okay, I'm not sure if they fixed it, or if I just had the bad luck of an error last night.
But I did a test order today, and after the bitcoins were sent. It said there was no money there, but some were pending.
So it atleast tells the customer the coins were sent but need to be confirmed. This gives peace of mind atleast.
Payment was sent 20mins ago. No confirmations yet.
I really think its best
not to show the user confirmations pending...
the user can get "thanks for payment" with 0 confirmations
and the merchant can get "customer paid for item" after 3-6 confirmations
also the user could get a " payment confirmed " email msg after 3-6 confirmations
but the user must not feel the need to wait 3-6 confirmations this is ridiculous, and unnecessary.
