> I lost ~$1,000 in a bad transfer because of a typo.

Was the option of doing a much smaller amount available to validate the account before following up with the full transfer? I've never understood not doing a test transfer first.



You can still make a mistake after the test transfer.


Or you can mistakenly think the test transfer worked as intended.


Not to mention that the necessity of "do a test transfer" already shows how massively broken the process is


Or maybe that "broken" design is just the result of the actual goal of decentralized P2P...
