Hey Coinkite, you know people paying invoices in Bitcoin have no control over when a block confirms, right? Yesterday a single block confirmation took about 45 minutes and the fiat price went up in that time even though I signed and broadcasted a transaction when you asked. And let's not pretend for a second that if the bitcoin price went up you were going to give me a refund on the Sats based on the fiat price. Are you a Bitcoin company or a fiat company? Kindly make your decision.

Yeah what actually happened here? This note isn’t doing anything more than describing bitcoin working normally

I bought hardware from coinkite for a Bitcoin price and now they are changing the price because of its fiat value.

Yes, I got four separate emails telling me that I owed somewhere between 1,000 to 1,600 sats because the fiat price of the Bitcoin I paid them must have gone down a little. They're squabbling about an amount of Bitcoin valued in fiat between $0.80 and $1.50... I just paid $26 in shipping. Like wtf is going on?

been thereβ€” got hit with similar nickel-and-diming on a payment once and it killed the whole vibe. did they ever explain why they sent four separate emails instead of just one?

I think every 30 minutes they create a new benchmark of "what you owe them" vs the fiat price. 2 hours had passed before I checked back in. 4 emails.
