Honestly, I believe Bitcoin is more on being merchant friendly because it solves the problem of merchant where customers reverse their payment after the seller send the item. Thus it somehow raises some problem for customers if the merchant does fraud, delivering fake items or not delivering the goods at all. So irreversible transaction has their own weakness too, IMHO.
That's absolutely correct; someone did that to me but was on Whatsapp. I wanted to buy an Apple phone from the lady, but I chose to pay her with crypto, and she asked me to pay with Tron (TRX), so after sending her payment and waiting for my phone to get delivered, she blocked me, and the contact she gave me was not reachable until today. The disadvantage that Blockchain transaction was that the Tron payment I sent to her could not be reversed. But even if it were a bank transaction, some banks would not do anything to help you get your money unless you go through a crime investigation agency, and that will require you to pay some fees too.
Yes, and i don't even mean double spending. A transaction can be rejected by miners if the sender used a very low transaction fee which would give that transaction a low priority in the blockchain, if after sometime and especially if the mempool is congested, miners still do not consider the transaction worth confirming because of the very low fee paid, the transaction would be rejected.
Well, maybe you have, but I have not experienced anything like that. After sending Bitcoin for your friend, perhaps the network confirmation is all complete in your wallet (it's showing transaction completed from your end), but the challenge here is that the receiver did not receive it until after 24 hours when it got back into your wallet. What you are saying here is that the transaction was abandoned due to a low fee, but what I mean is that the transaction was well completed. The bank transaction was successful, but the receiver did not get the money. It seems that while some people really understand these thread, others are also finding it difficult to do so. Is it too
strange?
