thing i find strange is how the sender didnt want to pay $900 using your original plan of wait 1 confirm
but he talked you into a lengthy thing of setting up new accounts and sending you a test amount for 1 confirm. and then later lots of different amounts on his non confirmed method he prefers.
seems like he talked you into a lengthy ploy where he could double spend you
knowing it would take a long while to get you to set up another account and do the test.
if it was a time issue. he coulda just paid you $900 in 10 minutes and been done with it. it just seems fishy he talked you into a process/workaround that took longer than 10 minutes just to avoid a confirm.
i think the sender sent you funds with no fee so that he knew it would get held up as pending for hours
while separetly he sent the funds to himself with a fee. thus making your pending/unconfirmed transaction just drop out of mempool because it wasnt the preferred payment worthy of being confirmed
i dont think it was blockchain.com fault. but more of the guy you talked to in discord that coerced you into such a weird process to avoid paying you $900 confirmed
i think the guy you spoke to in discord embellished the "instant" into sounding like he was saying its "guaranteed"
transfers are not guaranteed instantly.
seeing the payment is pending is instant because a blockchain userA pushes their payment into blockchain.coms mempools so blockchain.com mempool sees it instantly AS PENDING
this means instead of an separete service that might only broadcast to the network every 20 seconds and it taking another 10 seconds for full network viewing. ths 300 second delay just to see it as pending
by both you and the sender getting pending data from the same source it saves 30 seconds of waiting before even knowing its pending.
it has nothing to do with having it confirmed instantly
then all the guy had to do was push his pay-to self transaction directly to a mining pools node so that miners see his tx first and that gets allocated to a block. and the pending payment to you gets ignored by the miners 30 seconds later because it already recieved a payment with a higher fee it prefered.
so while your stuck just looking at a mempool thats just showing your payment is pending.
the pay-to-self gets confirmed. and eventually the blockchain.com mempool scrubs your pending payment

This will all be prevented if blockchain did not add the unconfirmed amount in my total wallet balance. also the 1st 50$ transaction is not confirmed either, but somehow blockchain allowed me to send that unconfirmed amount to my another wallet after reducing a fee, but at end that 50$ i tried to move also never got confirmed it stayed as 0/3 confirmation till all the transaction history got wiped at the end. when i had the option to send the 1st 50$ i tought hey its working if its not in my wallet how can they allow me to move to other wallet so i asked him to send further amounts. this whose crypto system is not user friendly, its scammer friendly.
